>a group of vocal doctors who get ignored or suppressed by the media You make it sound so ominous. But if you look them up they have gotten a ton of coverage from all kinds of media. Pierre Kory et. al. has also published (and are still publishing) numerous articles in (non hoax/predatory) science journals. Sure they are critiqued, but that is what happens when you go against a majority opinion (disciplinary not popu…

> You make it sound so ominous It is like a group of folks only recently discovered the marketing value of being "banned". A lot of them apparently just noticed punk rock this decade, I guess. And so you get amazing spectacles like Bari Weiss whining about being shut of out public discourse... in the NYT and WSJ. I'm sure many of her intellectual adversaries would love to be shunned to a similar degree.
Discourse around dissent of the popular narrative is simply not allowed and indeed you are doing the same. Deflecting to talking about bans/access, rather than the pro's/con's of treatments other than just the vaccines for COVID. Gives people like you the comfort of being open minded without actually being open minded.

I just got the booster shot today, previous times I had a weird headache and a new vein (felt it pulsing, didn't have it before) popped up in the white part of my eye (it's still there after 6 months), second time I had minor heart palpitations the day after so I'm kinda worried this time. Would taking Aspirin help prevent any kind of weirdness like that? I need to know asap so I can take it before anything potential…
Vaccines are not Covid. Even the inactivated virus ones. They're just a very small viral load with an adjuvant to enhance immune response.

The clotting in covid is fibrin based not platelet. If aspirin did anything for covid you'd be seeing it on the news every single day for the past two years.

Just for my own curiosity I clicked on your link. The I-MASK+ protocol also currently recommends Ivermectin (and if you don't have ivermectin, use black cumin seed), mouthwash, and a half dozen different vitamins for prevention and early treatment.

So 24 patients reported relief of symtoms. It would occur to me that a placebo effect could account for this. A study with a control group would hold greater validity in my mind. This seems purely anecdoctal despite academic styling.
Placebo effect accounts for changes in their blood markers for micro clots? I'm a big believer in the power of the mind, but this seems a stretch.

A placebo is frequently better than nothing and sometimes better than the real thing. I can even work if you know that it's a placebo ! Also placebo are getting stronger https://drdavidhamilton.com/the-placebo-effect-is-getting-st... ;)
Mechanistically, placebo can only work on psychosomatic symptoms. There isn't any magic going on. If the problem is in your head, then thoughts can maybe help.

Talking about bans is not an open debate about an actual subject - it's just more dodging/suppression of dissenting opinion. Discourse around dissent of the popular narrative is simply not allowed and indeed you are doing the same.

What are you talking about? You're dissenting right here. People do it in the national press daily, as they have been for literally years now on this particular topic.
No, what certain people don't like is that their preferred narratives aren't taken as seriously as they want. So whining about "suppressing dissent" is a more palatable explanation for their butthurt, whether sincere (as you might be) or manufactured (like I was pointing to).
My high-school band didn't suck after all. We were suppressed!
The link between microclots and long COVID is new to me and fascinating. Anecdotally, this gels with some of the symptoms I've seen in friends/family. My father had reduced motility in his arm-- where he'd broken it many years before--for many months after recovering from COVID. Then one random day, after he'd strained himself a bit, he noticed the pain/restriction completely gone, and the skin had turned slightly bl…
One of my more bizarre long COVID symptoms was blood vessel leakage on my feet. One day a month or so after getting over COVID my feet started noticeably swelling. I was worried I had a clot in my leg so I went to the ER but sonogram came out fine. Turns out I had worn too-tight shoes the day before and the vessels in my feet had swelled/leaked. This was my same pair of shoes I had always worn at same tightness (they…

Over 77% of Japan’s population is fully vaccinated.
India doesn’t even recommend using Ivermectin anymore.
