As noted earlier, for medical authorities to acknowledge the existence of effective early treatments for Covid-19 (such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin) would have precluded the emergency authorisation of the experimental Covid-19 vaccines.
Not surprisingly, the determination to deny the incontrovertible evidence on early treatment has led to a variety of rhetorical, and necessarily false, excuses; at first in the media, but soon finding their way into official pronouncements and threats.
Naturally, these developments downgrade the doctor-patient relationship.
Unapproved. The ‘unapproved’ or ‘unauthorized’ treatment ruse is widely used in western countries to threaten and deter doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin early for Covid-19, eg in the US, Internationally, by the TGA in Australia and in the UK.
Doctors in those countries ought to have known this was not legitimate, because off-label prescribing is common and wholly legitimate, and HCQ had been approved for 65 years – so did not require approval.
Doctors were probably well aware of the true situation – which was that they were being threatened.
Unproven. Another ruse used in sabre-rattling was that the treatment in question was ‘unproven‘ – which apart from being subjective (and in the case of early treatment with HCQ and IVM, false, as linked above), suddenly implied that bureaucratic dictat could override doctors individual judgement. (Ironicaly, when it came to the Covid-19 vaccines, it was taboo for doctors to highlight their transparently unproven status, and experimental nature). Words like ‘unprofessional’, ‘inappropriate prescribing’ also found their way into edicts.
Risk to public health. Medical authorities in western countries claimed that HCQ was dangerous, or put the public at risk. This was ironic, given the dangers attributed to Covid-19, for which no early treatment was recommended – people who tested positive for Covid-19 were supposed to stay home, and allow the virus to replicate.
Advertising. The ruse that promoting HCQ was ‘advertising’ was used by the powerful TGA in Australia.
Unproven, unsupported, inappropriate etc. Prescribing or advocating treatment that is unproven or inappropriate. A popular ruse in Canada.
Misinformation and disinformation. Latterly these ruses have a tendency to morph into the heavily-used term ‘misinformation‘ – a neat, suppressive propaganda term that automatically puts a label on opponents without the old fashioned need to determine whether what they say is true or not.
It’s also a term that the western medical authorities never apply to their own false claims.
Orwell would have been proud of this new Badspeak.
That official use of this term is a tool of power is obvious from the fact that where the term is given official status, this is rarely accompanied by any kind of verification process.
Clearly this is an abuse of power; yet the term ‘misinformation’ is being built into medical edicts and state laws; alongside its twin ‘disinformation’ – which is even better propaganda, as it automatically smears dissenters – who are typically eminent doctors giving honest medical judgements – as liars as well.
