Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News


Nebraska AG report blasts FDA and NIH positions on COVID treatment

In a ruling [pdf] making it clear that doctors are doing nothing wrong if they prescribe ivermectin or hydroxycholoroquine as part of their treatment for patients with COVID-19, the Nebraska attorney general not only provided detailed documentation demonstrating the reasonableness of prescribing those drugs — based on extensive peer-review research by scientists — he blasted the FDA, the NIH, and WHO for their somewhat ignorant hostility to those drugs.

The document is long, but everyone should read it, mostly to get a clear idea whether they or their doctor should consider using these two drugs should they come down with COVID. The answer appears to be an unqualified yes. Both drugs have different purposes, but both appear, if used properly, to be beneficial and reduce the severity of the virus.

The report also makes it clear that the hostility to these drugs by these American health agencies is irrational and somewhat alarming. See for example the one excerpt describing the FDA’s absurd statements in connection with ivermectin, a drug that doctors have been safely prescribing since the 1970s:

From Nebraska report

The report details at length the numerous research that makes these FDA statement so anti-science as to be quite horrifying, especially as this is the federal agency that is supposed to regulate food and drugs.

Once again, download this pdf and read it for yourself. You will find yourself significantly educated, based on actual peer-reviewed science.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

    Just passing by, but I (as I occasionally do ) with the point here… neither ivermectin or hydroxycholoroquine are “horse drugs”, they are both perfectly safe for human use, and the results of trials in the effectiveness against covid are very much still undecided.
    I hate the bullcrap “don’t take horse wormer” narrative… I do recommend not taking a horse dose of a drug manufactured for animal intake, but I see little harm in taking a human dose of a drug proven safe for humans, especially while the jury is still out on effectiveness.

    I hate conspiracy theories, I believe in science and the results science creates. To poison the well by only refering to these drugs as animal medications degrades people’s trust of science.

    You should read the article, study after study of the effectiveness.

    Also recommended by the NIH.

    (notice the many lethal side effects of the recommended drug that has a 40% death rate in Fauci’s own studies… Ivermectin has none)

    So why do hospitals only offer Remdisivir as a treatment when it causes renal failure (kidneys shut down) occurring 3 to 5 days into treatment? Followed by fluid in the lungs, when on ventilator, resulting in death?
    A treatment costing thousands of dollars where ivermectin is about a dollar per dose? A 20% bonus paid by medicare to the doctor.

    “To poison the well by only refering to these drugs as animal medications degrades people’s trust of science.”

    Lee, I think that horse has, so to speak, left the barn. The poisoning of the well is not an unfortunate side effect, it is the objective.

    Hospitals and doctors do not make much money from a cure. (apparently secretly approved by the NIH) (Less than a dollar per dose for a drug with little to no side effects that is extremely effective)
    https://rense.com/general96/nih-doc.php

    The comparison between three “recommended” treatments.
    Remdesivir doesn’t appear to be helping anyone. 40% of the people in Fauci study died from renal failure.
    As patients in the hospital are treated with this drug, there kidneys shut down. As fluid builds up in the lungs, when they’re on ventilator, it’s a death sentence. The blame goes on COVID-19 and not the drug killing them.
    The treatment cost thousands of dollars and there’s a 20% bonus if the hospital use it. $35,000 if the patient dies, $7000 going to the family of the patient. (I’ve heard Medicare will not pay for the medical bills if they survive with ivermectin)

    This is exactly what you would expect from “free” healthcare, Obamacare. When the patient doesn’t pay the bills, they don’t get to choose their treatment or if they get treatment… or whether they live or die. The generic treatment is a one size fits all solution to overpopulation. Less useless eaters provides more resources to a “zero carbon economy” to save the planet when the sky falls. You’ve heard it before from gates and other’s that the herd needs to be thinned.
    (Speaking of gates, it was just found out that he received government funding for contact tracing six months before Wuhan flu)

    This is America’s version of “T4”, and everyone’s looking the other way when we should be having Nuremberg style hearings.

    Do a search on judges forcing hospitals to allow the doctor to use ivermectin… There’s dozens of stories now.
    What do they call it? The right to try?
    The slogans of the left are all forgotten like “my body, my choice”. They’re not allowing any choices anymore… So much for the land of the free and the home of the brave! Even superman will not fight for Amerika as it is now. What was thought to be a MAGA “golden horizon” during trumps term, turned out to be a “setting sun” as the dark age begins.

    @ Max… No offence, but you are using the weapon of choice of the bullcrap spreader…. Shouting and spreading so many bullcrap points in one sentence that it becomes impossible to argue against you. Can you pick out a point or two that we can discuss? Then we can perhaps move on to the next?
