Look at this article, dated back in 2008, innovations-report.com/life.... 2008? 16 yrs? Wtf is going on with this? From the article, "describes how scientists successfully used the approach in rats to reverse the symptoms of Machado Joseph Disease (MJD), an untreatable and potentially fatal neurodegenerative disease." I know there's a huge leap from rats to humans, but 16 years? The only reasoning I can come up with is that transferring their findings to humans thus far, has not been successful. And/or, they have not gotten sufficient funding to really continue with the research. Why would that be, when researchers have a proven concept (treatment), albeit in rats?

My take, after they all LIED to us about COVID, why wouldn't they continue to lie to us, and not fund any research that holds promise but doesn't fit their profit mold?

I truly think we have been told to lower our expectations when we should be doing the opposite.

Whatever was the reason for that particular research not to proceed..this is the current situation..

Once clinical trials provide enough evidence to prove that the drug is safe and effective, the sponsor of the drug can apply for regulatory approval of the drug. After regulatory approval, the drug can become available to individuals through their healthcare provider.

"Whatever was the reason", we want to know that

🤔It obviously wasn’t viable ..but it could be that research has led to drugs mentioned in the Pipeline link.

1) Wear a mask

2)Lockdowns save lives

3) Trust the science

4) Social distancing

5) Vaccines will stop transmission, infection & death

6) The vaccine is safe

7) Hospitals are full of COVID patients

8) Asymptomatic Transfer

9) Vaccine passports work and are legal.

10) Natural immunity doesn't work

Just to name a few......😜

I’ve had 3 Covid vaccines, but the last was a couple of years ago. Last year I suspect I actually did have Covid because I’ve lost my sense of smell.

A couple of weeks ago I definitely did have the current strain of Covid..It was awful..I hallucinated for 24hrs, felt very unwell and it definitely adversely affected my ataxia symptoms.

I’ve been offered this year’s Covid Vaccination and am definitely having it.

So, by your logic you've had 3 and still got it? Have you asked yourself why didn't the first 3 work in the first place?

🙂The way I see it is…

Vaccines lessen severity

Well, that indeed is the propaganda that is out there. I hope you didn't get the polio vaccine and say that! 😜

Best of luck!!
