Default Covid: The bus journey that saved hundreds of thousands of lives

The Recovery trial was set up in March 2020 to test existing drugs on
Covid patients, to see if they had an effect on the disease. The
findings of the trial have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

As the Number 18 bus wove through the London traffic, two passengers
were deep in conversation. What they agreed on the pre-lockdown roads
near Euston would change the course of the pandemic and possibly the
future of medicine.

It would unite researchers, the NHS and 40,000 Covid patients in an
endeavour uniquely suited to a national public health service. It would
save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Covid patients around the
world. It would create the UK's Recovery trial.

The two bus passengers were Prof Martin Landray, a doctor and designer
of large-scale drug trials, and Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the
Wellcome Trust, one of the world's biggest funders of medical research -
and one of the funders of Recovery.

Together Prof Horby and Prof Landray would form the scientific axis that
would define the treatment of Covid.

Just shy of 100 days after that fateful bus journey, Prof Landray and
Prof Horby were preparing to tell the world. They knew they were about
to change treatment for patients everywhere and had spent a week
repeatedly going over the numbers to be sure.

Four hours after the announcement, treatment with dexamethasone became
NHS policy and the rest of the world swiftly followed.

Recovery showed another drug, tocilizumab, also saves lives. But just as
importantly it found the duds. The malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, the
HIV combo lopinavir/ritonavir and the antibiotic azithromycin had all
been hyped up, but ultimately shown to have no effect.

Dexamethasone alone is now estimated to have saved hundreds of thousands
of lives; possibly more than a million.

So why are we still double masking, social distancing and injecting experimental frankenstein gene therapies?

Your assumption/ignorance of the facts makes you sound stupid.

The Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are NOT gene therapy because they are not
designed to alter or change your genes in any way

To explain further: The vaccine replaces a disease-causing gene with a
healthy copy of the gene.
So it DOESN'T alter the gene, it enhances them with HEALTHY ones of the
same type.

The vaccines don't change your genes period, which is what you said in the previous
post.

Because dexamethasone only helps if you have severe covid
disease. Its much better to not get infected in the first place.

and injecting experimental frankenstein gene therapies?


Because the vaccines do a much better job of preventing
severe disease and death and likely prevent infection too.

And only two of the vaccines are mRNA vaccines.
All the others are traditional vaccines.

You are welcome to die from the disease very unpleasantly
like the other 2.5million have done already.

That mangles the real story and you need to spell out
that that thats a gene in the virus, not in the human.

So it DOESN'T alter the gene, it enhances them with HEALTHY ones of the
same type.


That mangles the real story too.

He meant the virus gene in that last comment but thats not correct either.
