Doc. long time fan, first time responder.

one of the things that you forgot to mention was that prior to 2020 the CDC had on its website that the way to treat a respiratory coronavirus infection was by nasal irrigation, saline sprays, neti pots, etc to physically reduce the viral load in the upper airway. in May of 2020 a study from Vanderbilt showed that using saline with covid patients worked 100% of the time to make it non lethal. (60 subject all over 65, tested pos, had symptoms, and they were all better in under a week.)

by June of 2020 we had a pretty good idea that using xylitol or iota carrageenan nasal sprays would be effective at reducing transmission. Studies done in early 21 showed that xylitol nasal sprays used 3 times a day reduced transmission by 62% over the saline placebo. We already know that saline is effective at some level at preventing covid...

we also knew that people with periodontal issues were 8X more likely to be hospitalized and die if they got sick from covid...

So where was public health? When they should have been out there discussing hygiene solutions they were instead silencing the people that were. Most of the companies in the saline nasal spray business received warning letters from our government warning us not to share the published data. most of them submitted and allowed themselves to be self-censored like a bunch of cowards...some stood up and fought back.

nasal hygiene though is not only for covid...most of the pathogens that enter your body enter through the nose, followed by the mouth. so maintaining a healthy oral and nasal microbiome is pretty important.

Thank you for this. Re: "It's time for COVID accountability so this can never happen again".

There is so much that must be done (criminal prosecutions, repeal the PREP Act, and so on), and it all starts with free speech. This must be restored.
