There were many effective treatments & prophylaxis for COVID-19; some were known from the beginning of the pandemic (HCQ, convalescent plasma), others appeared later (IVM, monoclonal antibodies, Regeneron cocktail, and more). All of them have been rejected by the self-proclaimed C19 Treatment Guidelines Panel, propped-up by Big Tech and MSM. They even went as far as effectively banning the use of any of these prophylaxis and treatments, intimidating hospitals into not using them, and deplatforming practicing doctors, who were using and advocating for such therapies.
Democrat leaders did nothing to protect the elderly and other most vulnerable populations (or even endangered them further, like Cuomo in NY). At the same time, many Democrat state governors ordered repressive shutdowns and lockdowns, which prevented immunity acquisition in the summer. Mass lockdowns were enforced mostly through Big Tech’s services, while allowing Antifa to riot and spread COVID-19, free of restrictions.
Big Tech and Democrat party leadership mutually benefited from shutdowns, lockdowns, and other social isolation measures. Diminished in-person communication led to more use of online communication tools (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Zoom etc.) That meant higher profits for Big Tech, while simultaneously expanding their ability to control speech, narratives, and the flow of information. Big Tech had already politically merged with the Democrat party, as seen from Big Tech donations patterns, their hiring of Democrat party staffers to “combat misinformation”, and the public statements from their executives.
Democrat leadership reaped many other benefits from a prolonged pandemic and extended lockdowns. One main benefit was finally being able to push through voting by mail, which allowed for enormous election fraud on November 3. At the same time, Democrat leaders blamed Trump for the pandemic, and the suffering. Failure of the opposing party to support the President, during a national emergency, is quite unusual for the US. This was unprecedented before the Iraq war. Democrat leaders used the pandemic to prevent Trump rallies, to hide senile Joe from the public, and to block Republican observers from overseeing ballot counting, in heavily Democrat counties.
These behaviors cannot simply be explained by misguided care, exaggerated concerns for safety, scientific ignorance, or even some Trump Derangement Syndrome. All the evidence suggests that the combined axis of Big Tech + Democrat party leadership + MSM has worsened the COVID-19 epidemic on purpose. This probably started in late March or April.
I am not suggesting that Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, Jeff Zucker etc. had a conference, in which they decided to worsen COVID-19 epidemic to achieve their goals. I am suggesting that Big Tech + Democrat party leadership + MSM inevitably fell into the following pattern. Big Tech, the most powerful part of the combo, is extremely political. Unlike political parties and media publications, Big Tech politics are not set at the top. They are made up ad hoc, by mid-level employees in Trust & Security councils and similar units. Naturally, these political units, within Big Tech, attract the most extreme leftists. At best, these groups simply do not care about anything but defeating Trump, at any cost. They receive input from mid-level staffers in and around the Democrat party, who are also extremely left leaning. Additionally, some Democrat party staffers are employed by Big Tech in policy setting roles, like Andy Stone in Facebook. This volatile combination is then crowned by the fake fact checkers network, shared by Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. These “fact checkers” check and make sure that “facts” match the selected politics. The worst thing is that they create a coordinated narrative, which is enforced by Big Tech, and shared by MSM and the Left.
The Democrat leadership then believes this narrative. Thus, the decisions of the Democrat party and connected organizations, regarding the pandemic, were made by fringe extremist groups within Big Tech and the Democratic party. These fringe activists have no medical or scientific expertise, no accountability, and no awareness of the consequences of their actions.
Big Tech, MSM and Democrat leaders delayed the approval of the vaccine, too. By September 2020, Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had been successfully tested on thousands of volunteers, manufactured in mass quantities, and was ready for wide-spread use. Pfizer was even forced to delay announcing their successful Phase 3 trials, until after the election day.
