Fun fact - exempting charitable donations from tax was originally a way to get the rich to support the 16th Amendment, and their spending was generally thought of as an alternative to government spending on the same areas.
"Dr. Annie Bukacek is not an unfamiliar figure in the far right. The head of the Montana Pro-Life Coalition, Bukacek is well-known for bringing tiny plastic fetuses to the state legislature; in 2009, she was under investigation for Medicaid fraud following complaints that she had submitted reimbursements for time spent praying with patients. (Bukacek did not return a request for comment.)"

Bukacek is (probably unsurprisingly) an anti-vaxer.
There's a real critique out there of Bill Gates that doesn't require conspiratorial thinking about RF chips or whatever.
Failed ad hominem attack.
She is not the only doctor complaining about the death certificate policy, .
Welcome to upside-down CT world.
- Childhood vaccines someday = Covid-19 vaccine this year.
- Test in Africa = world population.
- The encrypted hash system that PREVENTS you from having to give your identity card, etc., and dots under your arm that don't identify you by name = your identity.
Who elected Bill Gates ?
In actual factual news.
Dr. Emmanuel said she successfully treated 350 covids with HCQz, and never got infected herself. She said she takes the small prophylaxis dose herself.
Nissen and Borio say observational studies simply cannot be used to determine whether a medicine is effective. Again and again they have been wrong . . .
A huge amount of scientific attention has been focused on hydroxychloroquine. An analysis Monday by STAT and AppliedXL, a computational journalism company, found that 1 in 6 clinical trials started for Covid-19 involved hydroxychloroquine or a similar drug, chloroquine.
“The medical community has come to the inescapable conclusion that hydroxychloroquine is not effective at treating Covid-19 infections,” said Steven Nissen, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and a longtime clinical trialist.
Said Nissen: “The sooner we stop talking about hydroxychloroquine, the sooner we can focus attention on more promising therapies.”

Believe what you will.
The doctors speaking at the Capitol yesterday (now censored by youtube) are on the other side of the info war.

Yes, people say lots of things. The scientific community has this to say about Ghizzie's boyfriend's pet snake oil.
I am sorry you fell for Donnie's claptrap. I am sorry his sycophants have to push bull **** for their hero. I'm sorry time was take away from studying effectives treatments for COVID-19, but that's the price we're paying to salve the ego of a cowardly leader who refused to admit he is wrong about anything.
"Immanuel—who is both a pediatrician and religious minister—has made off-the-wall medical claims in the past. She’s alleged that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are the result of people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches. She's also alleged that alien DNA is used in medical treatments and that scientists are working on a vaccine to stop people from being religious. Even though she lobbied the government this week, she has said parts of it are run by “reptilians” and other aliens."

Like a child capable of keeping only one idea in its head at a time, President Trump has continued his obsession with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus despite an ever-growing body of work that it’s useless for the purpose.
This week, he was at it again.
Trump on July 6 tweet-touted a study from the “highly respected” Henry Ford Health System of Detroit, purporting to show that the drug “cut the death rate in certain sick patients very significantly.”
The truth is that retrospective studies of this sort are inferior to randomized controlled studies, the gold standard, for several reasons. They’re subject to biases, subtle and overt, because the researchers know what they’re looking for.
They’re subject to confounding variables, including the medical histories of the patients or the severity of their infections, that may not be evident to the researchers or readers. The patients may have received some treatments that aren’t part of the study, but may have a deciding impact on the results.
It turns out that all these flaws are present in the Henry Ford study. We know this in part because the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, which published the study, also ran an editorial comment that laid them out.
The most glaring flaw is that the patients given hydroxychloroquine, either alone or with the antibiotic, were twice as likely as the other patients to also have received a steroid. As Gorski points out, that’s important because a randomized controlled study has found that the steroid dexamethasone has “resulted in improved survival in COVID-19 patients requiring oxygen support.”
In other words, it may well be that the steroid had far more to do with the Henry Ford patients’ survival than the antimalarials.
Another major problem is that the study doesn’t explain why 16.1% of the patients — 409 of the 2,541 — received no treatment. It’s proper to conjecture that the reason is that they were in such bad condition that doctors saw no point in giving them an experimental drug. Remember, the patients weren’t part of a clinical trial — they were being treated based on their condition and the hospital’s COVID protocol.
The medical community has come to the inescapable conclusion that hydroxychloroquine is not effective at treating Covid-19 infections.
Sorry you are gulled so easily. The evidence is overwhelming.Sorry....Yesterday's doctors speaking, and their being censored trumps anything you have said.

It's pretty typical, and it's how most of the CT people learn to Gish Gallop. Like the graph - an embarrassingly false number, that tells a tale 180 degrees from reality - pneumonia deaths are down, when in fact they are tripling vs. 2019. A doctor says what I want to hear, and it turns out that she's a religious fruitcake. A guy says there are children in the basement in a place with no basement. Someone I believe about some Q thing also says that people are boiling children and eating their bone marrow. A sensible person might say - Hey, these sources that I trust are feeding me BS - I wonder why? A conspiracy theorist will just move onto the next thing.@Bubba. Your figures of authority are all nutjobs.
Precisely. One doesn't have to lend credence to crackpot theorists. The proof is in the pudding, not stories, observations and anecdotes. In Dara O'Briain's words, one doesn't have to listen to "Barry, who believes the sky is a carpet painted by god . . ."@Bubba. Your figures of authority are all nutjobs. Does you latest window licker actually have any evidence to support her claims? If we just have her word, why on earth would you believe someone that has also claimed the government is working on a vaccine to stop people being religious and that cysts are a result of people having sex with demons in their dreams?
Well of course you would.
