#2 ^ I should elaborate. By that I mean the "medical community" found a narrative they liked and stuck with it even after it was debunked. Thing From Snowy Mountain's post is dead-on.

The left has been trying to politicize health care for generations. It's time to get gummint entirely out of health care. Maybe if the "medical community" spent more time policing its ranks than choosing a pony tail guy to wear a white coat while standing next to Bath House Barry, they could get results the public could truct.

#3 It seems pretty much straightforward.

The COVID19 virus attacks via ACE receptors, because its "spike proteins" fit the receptors like a key into a lock.

The Ace Receptor Blockers (ARBs) occupy those receptors and reduce their ability to uptake the ACE2 enzyme. By occupying the receptors it would seem they should reduce the uptake of the virus as well.

One would expect that this reduced ability to uptake would results in a slowing of the spread and subsequent replication, giving the body more time to fight off the virus. It would also follow that by slowing the pace of the infection, it would also reduce the chances of a "cytokine storm" which is what causes the worst effects in the lungs resulting in hypoxia and death.

So why is there any question seeing that this research is the right way to go, and continue with ARB treatment, or maybe even add an ARB as a treatment for early stages of infection?

Is this another case of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine - where a cheap generic pill is ditched in favor of expensive antivirals like remdesivir, and expensive monoclonal antibody infusions?

“ Cannabinoid acids from hemp (Cannabis sativa) were found to be allosteric as well as orthosteric ligands with micromolar affinity for the spike protein. In follow-up virus neutralization assays, cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid prevented infection of human epithelial cells ”. “ Orally bioavailable and with a long history of safe human use, these cannabinoids, isolated or in hemp extracts, have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2.”. You can buy gummies off of the net.

#5 ^ Not patentable by Big Pharma, therefor not to be allowed.

#6 Also: CDBA and CDGA are not found in gummies. They are biological precursors to CDB and CDG.

#7 Apologies for the cross-post.

PSA To All Rantburgers:
Look up your vaccination code, then go to How Bad Is My Batch for a complete tally of adverse events compiled by the VAERS system for your particular vaccine batch.

No joke. No sarc. Per Malone on his substack today: "According to the website above, the data reported in VAERS, reproduced on the site, show that adverse events triggered by Moderna batches have varied widely.

"5% of the batches appear to have produced 90% of the adverse reactions

"Some Moderna batches are associated with 50 x the number of deaths and disabilities compared to other batches."

Again, this is actual VAERS data. I looked up my / my family's batch and we found only nine adverse events. Malone found 742 for his batch, along with 8 deaths, 16 disabilities, and 13 life-threatening illnesses.

Good luck,
MF

#8 ^ That post deserves to get around. Thanks, Merrick.
