In this program California's former Commissioner On Aging, Brian Johnston explores the current cultural ‘climate’ surrounding the COVID-19 debate.
Brian has spent years in researching and advocating the most effective ways to protect the medically vulnerable and cherish their lives. Today, he discusses the now intentional fear mongering and dismissal of startlingly obvious science by those who prefer a ‘police state’ approach to illness.
Common sense and medical ethics would direct caregivers to provide treatment and boost the immune system of all vulnerable and immunodeficient individuals. But instead, large swaths of government and an accommodating media have adopted the ‘objectified approach’ to individuals, the same policy as the Chinese Communist government.
Earlier programs of Life Matters have deeply explored the actual documents and scientific evidence of how hydroxychloroquine works in its treatment against various viruses, including the SARS 2 virus, commonly referred to as COVID-19.
Brian, in discussing literature and film surrounding dystopian cultures and science fiction, draws a contrastive analysis with today's 'real life' approach that is now subjecting large populations to greater hardships and government oppression.
Two specific works, M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, and the various iterations of H.G. Wells', War of the Worlds, provide dramatic insight into the current ‘terror of the unknown,' which government entities are both fomenting and using for other expansions of government authority.
The World Health Organization and its Bureau of Taxonomy (the naming of illnesses and viruses) have named the virus which causes the COVID-19 illness as officially, "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 - Covid (SARS 2)”. It is nearly identical to the first severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS 1. (*Virology, *May 2020)
But if it was routinely referred to as SARS 2, the average person would logically consider the fact that we have faced a SARS epidemic before (2003-2004) and what we are doing now was NOT how we addressed it.
Brian again takes a deep dive into the documented, international virology reports on the nature of zinc and zinc transport in attacking viruses. The efficacy of zinc has been long demonstrated, and the use of hydroxychloroquine is actually very effective because its sole purpose in addressing viruses is to help zinc transport through cellular walls. (Caulfield)
Viruses attack us on the cellular level, mimicking proteins. The presence of zinc prohibits viral reproduction.
It is the intentional suppression of these documented facts that has led to thousands of deaths, particularly in nursing homes and in immunodeficient populations.
Brian points out our current cultural environment ignores the value of these individual lives. Their value and protection as individuals has been taken from them. It is intentionally causing widespread ‘surrender' to fear and ignorance. This is not science fiction. It is happening to us - now.
This inchoate fear being spread by a controlling media culture can only be ended when freedom of speech and objective facts are allowed to be examined. 'Cancel culture' and political hatred of the current administration is apparently a root cause of this cultural phenomenon.
Literally dozens of studies have demonstrated the efficacy of zinc and hydroxychloroquine. The current suppression of these studies is an assault on the doctor-patient relationship, the freedom of speech of conscientious doctors, and an oppressive attempt by governments to continue a fearful response to this illness.
The politicization of this illness is unconscionable and those who are doing so should be held directly responsible.
