The following excerpts are from Dr. Joseph Mercola and Ronnie Cummins’ new book The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal (Chelsea Green Publishing, April 2021) and is reprinted with permission from the publisher. This book investigates the origins of the virus, how the elite are using it to slowly erode our personal liberties and freedoms, and how we can take back control of our health using successful protocols that have been suppressed. Dr. Mercola and Cummins team up to expose the truth—and end the madness—about COVID-19.

Remdesivir—A COVID Treatment Scam

Drug companies are often portrayed as benevolent entities that pour billions of dollars into research so they can create new drugs and vaccinations for the greater good. However, they spend far more on marketing than they do research. According to a New York Times column on the antiviral drug remdesivir, biotech giant Gilead Sciences started distributing remdesivir on a compassionate-use basis in January 2020.

That drug companies offer medications to patients in crisis is again deemed noble and altruistic. The Times column even noted, “Given the stakes involved, it seems perverse not to root for Gilead’s success . . . there should be no Big-Pharma haters in pandemics.” The reality, however, is that the pharmaceutical industry develops drugs using our taxpayer money, and then turns around and sells them back to us at enormously inflated prices.

The actual “donation” to treat patients on a compassionate basis is virtually insignificant since the drug costs them very little. The positive press by publications like the New York Times provides them with a halo that allows them to convince clinicians to prescribe this expensive drug, which has never shown any established clinical benefits and has not been proven to reduce the potential for death in those with severe disease. As such, it’s a perfect example of Big Pharma’s emphasis of profit over people.

The long-awaited price for remdesivir was announced June 29, 2020, by Gilead Sciences. While the drug has demonstrated only questionable benefits, Daniel O’Day, chairman and CEO of Gilead Sciences, believes Gilead balanced corporate profits and public health when they settled on $520 per vial, which equates to $3,120 for the recommended five-day course of treatment (on the first day, a double dose is given).

Meanwhile, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) released the calculated total cost of production, packaging, and a small profit margin on May 1, 2020. The cost was rounded to $10 per vial. While the exorbitant price of remdesivir is partially based on the assumption that it will reduce the length of hospital stays by four days, some physicians, including Dr. George Ralls with Orlando Health, report that the drug actually increases the length of hospital stays. He told ABC News: “Once they start on this medication . . . they need it for five days, so they are in the hospital longer than they would have normally been. So that could be a reason why our inpatient numbers have ticked up a little.”

Remdesivir Studies Lack Positive Results

Although Gilead Sciences continues to move forward in its distribution of remdesivir, other scientific evidence has not supported its use. In one study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the scientists changed the end point measurements for the study, moving all to secondary outcome measures except the number of days to recovery, which was the single primary outcome measure at the conclusion of the study.

Although there were significant problems with the research design, and consequently the data, the release of the study generated enthusiasm and triggered immediate action across many countries, including the US, to the point that the US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency-use authorization for remdesivir on May 1, 2020. This opened the door for compassionate use of the drug.

However, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation into remdesivir proved it doesn’t work. Two hundred thirty-seven patients in 10 hospitals were enrolled and randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a placebo group. The results showed remdesivir was not associated with statistically significant clinical benefits, and had to be stopped early because it was believed to have caused adverse events.

In another paper, published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, scientists reported the outcomes for five of the first patients treated with remdesivir in France. All of the patients had been admitted with severe pneumonia related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Of the five, four experienced serious adverse events.

A randomized controlled study published in the May 16–22, 2020, issue of The Lancet also failed to find a clinical of benefit for remdesivir treatment. Importantly, more than twice as many patients in the remdesivir group discontinued their treatment due to adverse effects than the control group (12 percent compared with 5 percent of those given a placebo).

And yet, at the time of this writing, even after over one year of treatments with no better data to back up its effectiveness, remdesivir is the only approved treatment by the FDA.

The Treatment of Acute COVID-19

As you may have guessed, I don’t believe remdesivir is the answer for COVID-19. Fortunately, there are now several treatment options that have demonstrated high levels of effectiveness and success. I review these in my new book The Truth About COVID-19, starting with the one I believe to be the most valuable.

Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide—The Most Effective Therapy for Acute COVID-19

Nebulized hydrogen peroxide, originally pioneered in the early 1990s by Dr. Charles Farr, is probably the single most effective intervention for those who have acute COVID-19. It’s my favorite intervention for acute viral illnesses in general, and I strongly believe it would prevent the majority of people from dying from COVID-19 if used.

If you use the search engine on mercola.com to search for “nebulized hydrogen peroxide,” you will find a very detailed explanation of why this therapy works and how to do it. Alternatively, an instructional video can be found on Bitchute.com, as YouTube has censored it.

In terms of mechanics, it’s highly likely that the peroxide forms a very powerful signaling function that stimulates the immune system to defeat whatever viral threat it’s exposed to. Your immune cells actually produce hydrogen peroxide. This is, in part, how they kill cells that have been infected with a virus. It appears that nebulized hydrogen peroxide merely enables your immune cells to perform their natural function more effectively.

In addition to being highly effective, it’s inexpensive and has no side effects when used at the very low doses recommended (0.1 percent, which is 30 times less concentrated than regular drugstore 3 percent peroxide).

The key is to have your nebulizer already purchased and ready to go so that you can use it at the sign of first symptoms. You can also use it concomitant with vitamin C, as they likely have a powerful synergy and use different complementary mechanisms.

There are basically two types of nebulizers: small handheld devices that use AA batteries and devices that you plug into the wall. The ones you plug into the wall are far more effective, so be sure to use one of those. The PARI Trek S is my favorite and used to be available on Amazon but now requires a business account. So you can order it at justnebulizers.com and say Dr. Mercola recommended it, as the device requires a physician order. I don’t receive any commissions for orders.

As for the hydrogen peroxide, since you are diluting it by 30 to 50 times, stabilizers are not likely to present a problem, but to be safe, your best bet is to use food-grade peroxide. Also, do not dilute it with plain water, as the lack of electrolytes in the water can damage your lungs if you nebulize it. Instead, use saline, or add a small amount of salt to the water to eliminate this risk.

You need about one teaspoon of salt in a pint of water or a half a teaspoon in an eight-ounce cup. This will create a physiological solution that will not harm your lungs when you inhale it. You could use regular table salt but ideally, use a healthy salt, such as Himalayan, Celtic, or Redmond salt.

The Way Forward

As we explore in our book The Truth About COVID-19, we don’t yet know whether the recklessly engineered SARS-CoV-2 virus was deliberately released or whether it accidentally escaped from a negligently managed, accident-prone dual-use biodefense/bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China. We do know, however, that a powerful network of global elites, including… the World Economic Forum, Big Tech, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Pentagon clearly anticipated what was coming, and then consciously took advantage of the crisis by seeding and nurturing panic to advance their economic, technocratic, totalitarian, anti-democratic agenda.

We also know that it is an existential imperative that we continue to expose the international gene engineers and scientists whose criminal negligence brought on this disaster and put an end to the genetic engineering and weaponization of viruses and bacteria once and for all, so that nothing like this pandemic ever happens again.

As we continue to gather more evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was lab-
engineered and that all of the global elite’s misleading science, medical malpractice, and pandemic-mongering are being weaponized in a coordinated and diabolical plan called the Great Reset, we must begin to unite a critical mass of the educated, angry, and dispossessed.

As Arjun Walia of Collective Evolution points out, our most powerful rallying cry is simply this: “Is this the world we truly want to create? Is this what we are limited to creating, and if not, what holds us back?”

Will we regretfully look back on 2020 as a dress rehearsal for the Great Reset? Do we want to live in fear and/or guilt and wear a basically useless, fear-inducing, socially isolating mask for the rest of our lives?

Of course not.

Natural health and meditation advocate Dawson Church puts it well: “We’re in the middle of this mass contagion of fear, and it is depressing our immune systems, rendering us less resilient, affecting us psychospiritually, making us less able to cope. That’s when we need a bigger dose of positivity, joy and gratitude. We need to do that deliberately. That means meditation, it means consuming positive media. It means not exposing yourself to needless negative emotions.”

But if we want to stop the Great Reset that is being furthered by power-
intoxicated globalists, and instead build a world from the grassroots up that is based upon peace and justice, tolerance, freedom, individual choice, privacy, freedom of speech, religion, constitutional rights, and regenerative health, food, farming, and land use, we must do more than just complain in private or tweet about it to our followers.

Now is the time to get organized.

We need a new family-farm-based agricultural system that can provide “food as medicine,” organic and healthy food for all, while regenerating the environment and biodiversity.

We need a new economic system that provides meaningful, socially and environmentally responsible work and a decent standard of living for all who are willing to work.

We need to object to and refuse any and all efforts to mandate COVID-19 vaccines. This includes rejecting the fake “choice” of voluntary vaccination in the face of draconian restrictions for those who refuse to get it.

The Threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies

We also need sound money, be it in the form of physical cash or decentralized, block-chain-type digital currencies that protect our privacy and independence. The Great Reset brings with it a brand-new all-digital system that is not based on currency in the way we currently know it.

It’s really a social control system, because by removing paper currency and replacing it with a central bank digital currency (CBDC), your ability to engage in transactions can be weaponized to destroy your privacy, surveil you, and prevent you from making purchases or even make a living.

Everything you buy and sell will be monitored, and punishment can be meted out if a transaction, your behavior, or even your thoughts are deemed undesirable by whatever “standards” that happen to be in vogue that week.

The transhumanist agenda is also part of this. Through the use of injections or some other means of getting biosensors into you, your actual physical body will be connected, literally, to the financial system. Transhumanism and technocracy fit hand in glove and can best be described as a digital slavery system where you are monitored and controlled 24/7.

Decentralized-Everything Is the Way Forward

Perhaps most important of all, we need a decentralized government and internet where the threat of censorship is eliminated and free speech is assured. As just one example of many, anyone who questions pharmaceutical products on any of the social media platforms now faces the risk of being deplatformed. Many also find themselves booted from digital finance platforms such as PayPal at the same time, which proves the point I was trying to make in the previous section.

You, the individual, should have the most rights, because laws are best applied as specifically and locally as possible. The concentration of global and federal powers comes at the expense of your individual rights.

Mercola.com and a number of similar websites have even been labeled a multinational security threat by British and American intelligence agencies, which are collaborating to eliminate “anti-vaccine propaganda” from public discussion using sophisticated cyberwarfare tools.

Ask yourself, does concern for public health really justify censoring and eliminating financial transaction capabilities of those who raise questions about vaccine safety and mandatory vaccination policies? The fact that they’re trying to shut down all conversations about vaccines—using warfare tactics and economic blackmail, no less—suggests that the planned mass vaccination campaign has little if anything to do with keeping the public healthy and safe. It’s about controlling the public and ensuring compliance.

The question is: Why?

The medical industry, and the vaccine industry in particular, have severe trust and credibility challenges that they themselves created and continue to grow with the help of Big Tech and national intelligence agencies, which are going to extreme lengths to prevent counternarratives from getting out.

Never before has the US government allowed this kind of blanket censorship of the public discourse. It would never be allowed if the government did it, but by delegating the censorship to private corporations it is allowed. It should be indisputable that censorship is anathema to a democratically run, free, and open society. While there may not be a benefit to allowing misinformation to be disseminated, the risks of censoring are simply too grave to be justifiable.

Censorship will never be applied just to the information you despise. It will be applied to any information that is threatening to the elite class that is attempting to further control us.

Big Tech censorship is actually even more insidious than government censorship, because it’s far more opaque. At least if the government says it’s going to censor certain kinds of expression, there’s some level of transparency in how that’s being done. Private tech companies, on the other hand, move the goalpost at will, and they’re never entirely clear about who will be censored, for what, exactly, or how. What’s more, there’s no real process for appeal.

The problem we face now is that censorship fortifies power and is very difficult to end once it has taken hold. This in turn does not bode well for individual freedom or democracy as a whole. Censorship is a direct threat to both. With that in mind, the fact that US and U.K. intelligence agencies are getting involved in censoring tells us something important.

It tells us it’s not really about protecting public health. It’s about strengthening government control over the population. The fact that intelligence agencies view vaccine safety advocates as a national security threat also tells us that government is now in the business of protecting private companies, essentially blurring the line between the two.

If you criticize one, you criticize the other. In short, if you impede or endanger the profitability of private companies, you are now viewed as a national security threat, and this falls squarely within the parameters of technocracy, in which government is dissolved and replaced with the unelected leaders of private enterprise.

The right and freedom to critique the government is a hallmark of democracy, so this state-sponsored war against truthful information is clear evidence of a radical turn toward technocratic totalitarianism.

Standing at a Crossroads—Which Way Will We Go?

The hour is late, but there is still time to turn things around. We stand at the crossroads—will we choose dictatorship, offered to us by our transhumanistic, technocratic “overlords,” or freedom and democracy? I invite you to join us in the fight for our lives and the lives of future generations. Join us as we educate and organize for a healthy, equitable, and regenerative future.

By thinking and acting locally—buying local foods and products, and engaging in local politics and local organizing—we start to cut off the lifeblood of individuals and companies that are pushing us in the wrong direction. As David Klooz warns in his book, The COVID-19 Conundrum: “If the COVID-19 hoax does not convince you to divest from the politicians and the corporations they serve, including divesting from big-business’ goods and services, nothing will. Special interests just beta-tested turning entire nations into virtual prisons. If people allow it this time, their ability to do it again and to an even greater and more disruptive degree is all but guaranteed . . .”

Each one of our personal choices creates consumer-market-driven pressure that affects change from the bottom up. Forget top-down authoritative solutions. It always ends up biting us when we look to federal politicians to do something good for us, as lobbyists and lawyers—whose pockets are far deeper—are always working to make things better for the elites, not the general population.

Realize that federal and international agencies are captured by technocrats and oligarchs, so work within your community, and within yourself.

We likely can’t stop the medical establishment from doing exactly what it wants to do—remain a slave to Big Pharma and treat symptoms rather than address fundamental root causes of disease. But you can opt out of these systems to keep yourself, your family, and your community healthy and resilient.
