You'll probably post a link to some doctor somewhere conjecturing. Whatever. You know what else reduces lifespan? Loneliness. Despair. Loss of job. Loss of a business. Loss of purpose. Lack of exercise. Drug addiction. Lock down's, drug addiction, and medical fascism are far, far greater threats to young people's health than covid, and its not even close.

I never said that I support draconian lockdowns. I think ivermectin and other drugs, together with better vaccines, can still do the job.

Even if re-purposed drugs like Ivermectin were recommended by the government and thus, more widely prescribed, I still object to agreeing to the mandate that we must extinguish the virus without much more deliberation about the actual threat posed by the virus and the likely costs. The hard fought and easily lost civil liberties are not worth sacrificing in order to guarantee everyone's safety from a respiratory virus. Be very wary of those who propose to wage wars on nebulous and evolving things like terrorism, poverty, or corona-viruses -- all things that have been a part of human life for millions of years. They can't win such wars and that's the whole point.

Yeah. In the final analysis, I think you are right.
