The even bigger tragedy is that the website is so badly maintained that parts of it have effectively drifted into disinformation. The page on metformin hasn't been updated for nearly a year, and it's therefore missing two overwhelmingly convincing randomized controlled trials from Bramante et al. The past year's trial results keep showing that safe/cheap metformin is effective for treating acute Covid and for preventing long Covid - whereas pretty much every recent trial of expensive/risky Paxlovid keeps indicating Paxlovid doesn't really work. The tragedy is that nobody - including President Covidbrain - is aware that metformin is now the better choice because the NIH can't be bothered to update a web page for ten months. If all the site is going to do is toe some outdated party line then I say good riddance.

We can claim more died under Biden because we were already infected but if Trump had won it likely would be same or worse outcome. I will say under Trump counterfeit PPE was distributed to hospitals leading to excess death to nurses and doctors. And hospitals paid for this and cost thousands of dollars. Trump initiated disinformation campaigns Biden shut them down. Right now under Biden Mandy CDC director still has vaccines in warehouses so we are back to unvaccinated again lack of boosters to new variant. I would give both sides an F.
