Backup of Article under Attack for Advocacy against Lockdowns
The article We misunderstood coronavirus, now we underestimate its consequences is back on SJVSun, so this backup became unnecessary and has been removed. The original article was attacked immediately after its publication, on May 8-10, 2020.
The article discussed the response to the COVID-19 epidemic, and advocated for lifting lockdowns. At least one other article, co-authored by its author, was removed from Medium[.]com for this advocacy. This new article was available in its source only intermittently, probably because of a denial of service attack, involving Google, Facebook, and/or Microsoft employees and/or contractors.

Assault on HCQ
My article Pseudo-Science behind the Assault on Hydroxychloroquine has been published in WUWT. Some points from it:
- Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-based treatments are effective for COVID-19, unless started too late.
- There are a couple of borderline fraudulent pre-prints, trying to cast doubt on that, and they are endlessly cited in the media. Then there are a couple of serious studies, which are misinterpreted not only by the media, but by NIH and FDA as well
- Severe COVID-19 frequently causes cardiac effects, including heart arrhythmia. This is not a fault of HCQ.
- Millions of people regularly take drugs causing QTc prolongation, which might increase risk of heart arrhythmia and even cardiac in for COVID-19 patients with other risk factors.

Epidemic Victims are Normally Treated Separately from Regular Patients
The most common mistake made in the COVID-19 response was treating contagious COVID-19 victims in the same hospitals and hospital areas as non-COVID19 patients. This happened both in Wuhan and in New York City.
Stephen McIntyre tweeted yesterday:
western nations completely ignored procedures that Western doctors use in controlling epidemics in Africa and elsewhere. An interesting and experienced doctor said that their FIRST act is to create field hospital exclusively for epidemic patients, keeping regular hospitals safe Continue reading Epidemic Victims are Normally Treated Separately from Regular Patients
