Disturbing: Ivermectin and Hydroxyyouknowwhat had to be "Cancelled" to permit EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) of Vaccines.

This is so deeply disturbing.
Willful suppression of the efficacy of non-vaccine treatments of Covid-19 is at root a money thing.  Policy was in the way of profit.   The expensive vaccines could not be rushed into service if there were officially recognized treatments for SARS-CoV-2.    The policy was kept and the workaround has been to suppress reports of simpler acceptable helps.  The camp followers adopted the war cry about horse paste and quack medicines but the top people started it.

The surprise (to me) story is buried in this report on a German media whistleblower who works in the ARD empire.  "Anyone who .. demands a multidimensional perspective on the pandemic will reap indignation and scorn".

Footnote:  Why are there some studies that devalue those helps?   The therapeutics arrived too late.  The virus gets a beach-head when breathed in,  later invades vascular endothelium in the circulatory system and is generally being overcome by the body's immune defences by the time the damage to your body is done.  Sadly the vaccine spike protein invades the same tissue as the whole virus and the spikes themselves may trigger killer leukocytes to attack the epithelium.  The viral load is on the decline when people are hospitalized.   The helps are useful at the beach-head.
