The Associated Press <\/em>(AP) reported the following:<\/p>\n

The superspreaders behind top COVID-19 conspiracy theories<\/h2>\n

February 15, 2021<\/p>\n

Legitimate questions about the virus created perfect conditions for conspiracy theories. In the absence of knowledge, guesswork and propaganda flourished.<\/p>\n

College professors with no evidence or training in virology were touted as experts. Anonymous social media users posed as high-level intelligence officials. And from China to Iran to Russia to the United States, governments amplified claims for their own motives.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press collaborated with the Atlantic Council\u2019s Digital Forensic Research Lab on a nine-month investigation to identify the people and organizations behind some of the most viral misinformation about the origins of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Their claims were explosive. Their evidence was weak. These are the superspreaders. https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/conspiracy-theories-iran-only-on-ap-media-misinformation-bfca6d5b236a29d61c4dd38702495ffe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The above AP article then goes on and lists various ones who made public statements that disagree with the narrative that the AP and other news organizations pushed.<\/p>\n

But it has been places like the AP that have been superspreaders of harmful information and who also have suppressed the truth by not reporting items that do not fit its ‘political’ narrative (which places that claim to be objective sources of journalism are not supposed to have).<\/p>\n

The AP and many others have put their hope in lockdowns, masks, social distancing, fear, and vaccines.<\/p>\n

But it could have looked into telling the public how to help their immune systems.<\/p>\n

Now before going further, let me state that 1) I have been trained in virology, via Columbia University and PanAmerican University of Natural Medicine, 2) the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease twice concluded that my work with herbal, glandular, and vitamin therapy had ‘significant scientific merit’ against the HIV coronavirus in the 1990s,\u00a0 3) I do have a Ph.D. in a biological field, nutrition science, and 4) I have successfully treated people with a variety of viruses with natural interventions for about thirty years (this is not something that people like Dr. Fauci, who the AP has repeatedly promoted as an expert has done).<\/p>\n

But the AP was not interested in reporting views of people like me, despite the fact that I meet their stated criteria for being qualified on this topic.<\/p>\n

Notice something I wrote and posted here last April:<\/p>\n

Governments around the world, including the USA, have been loath to tell the public that they can do more than hide and wash to help themselves with COVID-19\u2013that is a disgrace that should shame most public health officials (there are a few that have had the integrity to tell some scientific facts about nutrients that can help, like zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc.). …<\/p>\n

Now, getting back to the CDC\u2019s list to protect oneself, it is astounding that the CDC still refuses to tell people to watch their diets, to try to follow the official US government dietary guidelines to consume two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables each day, and will not tell people to consider real food nutrient supplements if they may be at risk of being deficient in zinc (like many diabetics are) or other nutrients. (Thiel B. \u2018CDC Triples Number of Possible CCP Virus Symptoms;\u2019 Don\u2019t swallow Lysol to fight COVID-19! What about Zinc? Bloodclots?<\/a> COGwriter, April 24, 2020)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a list of items posted here that I wrote last May:<\/p>\n

The world needs to turn to God and seek first the Kingdom of God<\/a> (Matthew 6:33).<\/p>\n

Since that is not expected in this age, what are some physical things that could have been done that would have been at least as effective as the lockdowns, but without the massive socieo-economic costs?<\/p>\n

Let me put together a quick list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tell the truth. Lies and wrong information by governments and health officials, particularly towards the beginning of all this, resulted in many missteps.<\/li>\n
  • Warn vulnerable populations (people in nursing homes, the elderly, those with respiratory conditions) to avoid public contact.<\/li>\n
  • Insure those that work with vulnerable populations have proper protective equipment to not catch nor spread COVID-19.<\/li>\n
  • Distinguish policies and practices for rural and non-rural areas.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage vulnerable people to wear masks in public. Encourage physical distancing for others in dangerous areas.<\/li>\n
  • Cancel massively large events (anything over perhaps 1,000 people).<\/li>\n
  • Encourage people to eat more fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage people to get sufficient sunlight to produce enough natural vitamin D.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage people to take 100% food nutrient supplements that contain zinc, selenium, and other nutrients.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage people to wash hands and be careful about putting their hands on their face.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage people to have a clean home and work environment.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage periodic fasting for those whose health allows for it.<\/li>\n
  • Encourage people to exercise as appropriate.<\/li>\n
  • Hospitals and other health care providers should NOT have been told to stop elective or routine procedures. Instead, hospitals, for example, should have been told to be ready to stop some routine\/elective procedures IF their coronavirus caseloads go too high to handle otherwise.<\/li>\n
  • Businesses, government facilities, and churches should not have been told to close. Instead, certain recommendations could have been provided to assist in safer operation.<\/li>\n
  • Health officials should have properly reviewed the use of herbs, glandulars, nutrients, and other natural interventions to deal with viral issues.<\/li>\n
  • Health officials should have been looking at substances like nattokinase to help with blood clot issues that have resulted in many unnecessary deaths associated with COVID-19, once blood clots appeared to be a significant cause of death.<\/li>\n
  • Test people, or at least their temperature, before allowing them on airplanes.<\/li>\n
  • Quarantine the sick and those that test positive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instead of telling people to support their innate immune systems with many of the above steps, promoting fear has been the apparent policy of choice. (Thiel B. Mnuchin Unemployment numbers to worsen; Prager: Worldwide Lockdown May Be The Greatest Mistake In History<\/a>. COGwriter, May 11, 2020)<\/p>\n

    Sadly, public health officials, most of which have no serious experience with nutritionally supporting human immune response, overlook what can be done to improve a person\u2019s innate immune system. That would include, for example, encouraging the consumption of fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, brazil nuts for selenium, seeds & meats high in zinc, and getting sufficient sunlight for vitamin D. They are even less inclined to recommend supplements which contain 100% food sources of those nutrients.<\/p>\n

    Anyway, what some government leaders are realizing is that by not reopening until there is a reliable vaccine or some other pharmaceutical drug, the economies they live off of may become nearly irreparably damaged. (Thiel B. \u2018No spike in coronavirus in places reopening, U.S. health secretary says\u2019 \u2018European leaders are blunt: A vaccine won\u2019t come soon enough\u2019<\/a>.

    Here is something posted here last June:<\/p>\n

    Governments around the world, including the USA, have been loath to tell the public that they can do more than hide and wash to help themselves with COVID-19\u2013that is a disgrace that should shame most public health officials (there are a few that have had the integrity to tell some scientific facts about nutrients that can help, like zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc.).<\/p>\n

    Here is something I posted a couple of days ago at my company\u2019s Facebook page related to vitamin D:<\/p>\n

    \u2018Vitamin D Determines Severity in COVID-19: Researchers Urge Government to Change Advice\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Saw the above headline today. I have been urging the government to change its advice related to nutrition and the novel coronavirus for some time.<\/p>\n

    Facebook posts here have covered vitamin C and zinc. Plus, because of the involvement in blood clots and COVID-19 deaths, nattokinase is something that many who get COVID-19 should consider taking.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Anyway, the vitamin D article (https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/vitamin-d-determines-severity-in-\u2026\/<\/a>) had the following:<\/p>\n

    \u201cResearchers from Trinity College Dublin are calling on the government in Ireland to change recommendations for vitamin D supplements.<\/p>\n

    \u201cA new publication from Dr. Eamon Laird and Professor Rose Anne Kenny, School of Medicine, and the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), in collaboration with Professor Jon Rhodes at University of Liverpool, highlights the association between vitamin D levels and mortality from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe authors of the article, just published in the Irish Medical Journal, analyzed all European adult population studies, completed since 1999, which measured vitamin D and compared vitamin D and death rates from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe correlation between low vitamin D levels and death from COVID-19 is statistically significant.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe authors propose that, whereas optimizing vitamin D levels will certainly benefit bone and muscle health, the data suggests that it is also likely to reduce serious COVID-19 complications. This may be because vitamin D is important in regulation and suppression of the inflammatory cytokine response, which causes the severe consequences of COVID-19 and \u2018acute respiratory distress syndrome\u2019 associated with ventilation and death.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Instead of mainly using fear and fear tactics, governments should encourage people to boost their innate immunity. This can be done by encouraging people to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, foods high in zinc, and getting, when appropriate, sunlight exposure to increase vitamin D levels.<\/p>\n

    In my case, in addition to all of the preceding, I take also take 100% food nutrient supplements high in vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D, selenium, and other nutrients.

    In those four posts vitamin D was mentioned.<\/p>\n

    Why mention this now?<\/p>\n

    Because the AP did not promote vitamin D.<\/p>\n

    It still has not.<\/p>\n

    Notice the following tweets:<\/p>\n
