Editor’s note: I hesitated to post this, knowing everyone has made up their mind about Covid-19, or Covid-1984 as it should be known (the China Virus). What intrigued me is the depth of detail regarding the many different aspects of this disease. I might suggest scanning it, believe what you know to be true, and consider some of the points the author has made. I did NOT post this with the intention of changing anyone’s mind, because everyone’s mind is already made up as to whether it is real, or a government conspiracy, or simply a crisis to be utilized by TPTB (mine included). Having said this, about 1/3 the way through the article there are some great non-vaccine therapies, including Ivermectin, Resveratol, HCQ, etc that are discussed as preventatives/treatments, which are difficult to find elsewhere. Note: the author also discusses the different existing vaccines and the risks of each. Our family will not, under any circumstances, be taking any mRNA vaccine EVER, but this is only our opinion and not intended to be medical advice, as none of us have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in recent history.
CORONAVIRUS GUIDE
A WORK IN PROGRESS
LEO GALLAND, M.D.

Approval of vaccines for prevention of Covid-19 is generating enthusiasm and pushback. I’ve summarized my present thoughts about the vaccines toward the end of this guide in THERAPEUTIC PROFILES. New mutations of the virus that causes Covid-19 are generating concern because they are increasingly more contagious and may be less responsive to existing vaccines. They are discussed in the sections on IMMUNITY, CORONAVIRUS BIOLOGY and MAKING SENSE OF THE MUTATIONS. As with everything else about Covid-19, the story is dynamic and may change with new information.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the world to a standstill for 3 reasons:
- It is highly contagious, spreading readily within groups of people[1].
- Covid-19 is often spread by people who have no symptoms[2] or have just developed very mild symptoms[3] [4].The CDC has concluded that 59% of cases have been infected by someone who was asymptomatic[5].
- Although 80% of infected people experience a trivial illness or have no symptoms at all, about 3.5% develop a catastrophic disease requiring hospitalization and intensive care, which is associated with severe complications. In the New York metro area, during the first 5 weeks of the pandemic, the mortality rate for hospitalized patients in the Northwell Health system was 21%; 12% received invasive mechanical ventilation, and 3% required kidney transplantation[6]. By late summer 2020, the hospital mortality rate for Covid-19 had dropped to 7.6%[7] , which is still high (discussed below in RATES, at the end of this guide). In early December, 2020, Covid-19 became the leading cause of death in the United States. It is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. for the year 2020, and is likely to continue in that same position during 2021, whatever changes are created by mass vaccination. These numbers are not inflated. During 2020, the total number of deaths in the U.S. was 12% higher than it had been in 2019. More than 80% of those excess deaths occurred in people with Covid-19 and the others appear to be deaths from chronic conditions like heart disease that went under-treated because of the pandemic. As of this writing, about 1 in every 800 people in the U.S. has died of Covid-19.
Unusual and mysterious manifestations of Covid-19 are increasingly common. Many people who recover from the acute illness are left with symptoms that last for weeks or months and may fluctuate from day to day. Covid-19 is clearly not just a bad case of the flu. Heart failure, circulatory problems, blood clots, digestive disorders, neurological and psychiatric symptoms, and autoimmune diseases may complicate Covid-19. People who have recovered from the infection often show long term deficits in cognitive function, even after relatively mild disease[8].
I began posting this guide to Covid-19 in February 2020, to organize my research into the emerging science and to cut through the deluge of false information on the Internet and the misleading information being repeated in news cycles. I have updated it periodically, as new data and new perspectives emerged. My goal is to help you make informed decisions for protecting your health and the health of those you care about and to be able to critically evaluate breaking news. I have been asked hundreds of questions about Covid-19 over the past year and have attempted to include all the answers in this document.

The statement that 3% required kidney transplant seems odd.
When your kidneys fail you go on dialysis and then if you qualify physically you are put on a waiting list for a transplant. You don’t get a transplant right off the bat. There is a lot involved prior to this happening
Kidneys don’t fall out of the trees so they are kind of in short supply.
I looked at foot note [6] and it did not explain the source of this.
I still look at the Covid-19 with a jaundice eye.
Dang you for making me go down a rabbit hole !!!
Characteristics and Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients Hospitalized in New York City -- American College of Cardiology (acc.org)
Hmmmm, “Kidney replacement therapy”
Wonder if that is different from kidney transplant??
I have a hard time believing or accepting almost any numbers or data associated with the China Wuhan Virus because we have been lied to about it every day for a year.
In 2003, the CDC came up with a way of reporting deaths and that system has been in place since.
03/2020, the CDC changed the way they counted CWV deaths (and only changed it for CWV deaths) to deliberately inflate the numbers.
Using the 2003-2020 CDC methodology, there are less than 50,000 deaths.
That’s the only number I can trust in any of this Charlie Foxtrot.
Can anyone else remember the cdc calling firearm violence a disease? So much for any information those mamsers disseminate.
Thanks for posting. The only things I am certain of are:
We have been lied to from day one by the CCPMany in the US “government” have lied or misled us on a regular basis The RT-PCR test used to diagnose “cases” is not fit for purpose, therefore the “death rate” is significantly overstatedThe death rate estimate presented to Congress on March 11, 2020 by the experts was off by at least a factor of 10 because they confused two critical terms (case fatality rate vs infection fatality rate) see paper at: https://doi.org/10.1017/dmp.2020.298Obtaining reliable data in the current environment in the US is nearly impossible due to the weaponization of medicine against the American peopleThe US “government” response caused far more damage than the diseaseChina won WW3 without firing a shot with the assistance of many oligarchs and .gov employees around the worldThe carnage will not be recognized for a few years -- probably only when China invades Taiwan
Thank you for sharing this guide, and I read it in its entirety. The best take-away of this guide, imo, is the section on COVID biology and the alternative COVID therapies to guard against poor immune response to COVID. The Doc mentions Vitamin D, Curcumin, Resveratrol, Ivermectin, Quercetin, Thymoquinone, Melatonin, and Zinc — all have been discussed in many other articles and a few books (Herbal Antivirals by Stephen H. Buhner comes to mind). What I have not seen mentioned before is the probiotic Bifidobacterium lungum as a protease inhibitor. Something to research further…)
With COVID being an RNA virus, it will forever mutate, and a ‘vaccine’ will never be developed to actually prevent COVID infection. Big Pharma will continue with their snake-oil injections, though, because the average person wants the ‘magic pill’ approach and the Pharma-boys are happy to make money. It would serve people well to guard against infection through a more natural approach to viral immunity. A large segment of Americans have a vitamin D deficiency, something that is correlated w/ COVID infection. A daily dose of Vitamin C and D alone can increase the immune system.
I see that four former Presidents just made a short video encouraging citizens to take the vaccine. Trump was absent from the group. Hmmmm.
After the better part of five hours I am only halfway through this medical dissertation. My age supposedly places me in the high risk category. I live in an area that has had a number of positive tests; but many of us only wear a mask when required by an establishment. No one here has died from the virus. I will finish the article in due time; but meanwhile I have a couple observations.
Some reputed reputable doctors have refuted most of the guidelines foisted on the general public and have, instead, treated their patients with alternatives. The best alternative could likely have stopped the spread had it not been nixed by those who stand to make millions from a pseudo vax. That alternative was readily available and dirt cheap and highly proven over decades of use. It was the HCL (hydroxychloroquine). To withhold medication is worse than Satanic. Early on back in March of last year, I began buying and drinking tonic water (quinine hydrochloride). Ok, it’s not medicinal grade; but you can see the ingredients match. I’m not a doctor; but a neighbor gave me a syringe of ivermectin that I have not yet used. The point is that there are alternatives available that the CDC and WHO and various government entities do not promote for nefarious reasons. And that should give one pause to wonder why. It should be readily apparent by now to a thinking human that no one in government gives a rat’s ass about the general public.
I realize people get sick and die, have accidents and die, fight wars and die and are murdered. That’s life. I’m going to die eventually. We all are. Our biggest fear is not dying. It’s being forced to die by decree. I choose the freedom to live or die as I see fit.
