A thread.
I have an engineering degree. Engineers spend their lives solving problems. I've also got some experience in crisis management. So when SARS-COV-2 reared its head I remember asking myself: if I was managing the response, what would do first, what would I prioritise?
I remember thinking that if I was a doctor, I'd try using existing medicines to treat symptoms. So if fever was a problem, use drugs used to treat fever. If breathing was a problem, use drugs used to treat asthma and COPD. If blood clotting was a problem, use anti-coagulants.
But I was surprised to discover that in the beginning, for the most part people were told to stay at home and take paracetamol and that was it. Sadly many people did that and nothing more, and were too ill to be saved when they reached hospital.
I was then even more suprised to learn that doctors like @P_McCulloughMD who were trying existing medicines in combination as early treatment were being told to stop by the authorities, and papers they wrote on the topic were being rubbished and not published.
And when I read science journals saying that many patients with serious COVID symptoms were vitamin D deficient, I thought: why don't governments just mass issue supplements? They are cheap and safe and could save many lives.

But they didn't. None of this made any sense to me as an engineer and problem solver. The authorities seemed to be actively avoiding solutions which were obvious and could work or were already working.

Only when the vaccines arrived and I saw the unnatural pressure for everyone to have one - even those recovered from the virus or those not at risk from it - did I realise that the entire response up to that point wasn't intended to treat patients and help them get better...
...or to end the pandemic quickly - it was to create a justification for universal vaccination.
Once I stopped looking at the vaccine as a solution to the virus problem...
...and started seeing the virus (and deaths from lack of treatment) as the solution to the vaccine problem, everything suddenly became clear.
