History's Echo: AIDS and Covid-19

History's Cyclical Nature

There's a well-known saying by German philosopher Karl Marx, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as a farce." This statement is often used to describe the cyclical nature of history. Another German philosopher, Hegel, added to this idea by stating, "What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history."

These quotes serve as an introduction to the topic of this article: the Covid-19 pandemic. But before we delve into the current pandemic, it's crucial to remember the last significant pandemic the world faced: AIDS. This disease, which emerged in the mid-1980s, claimed approximately 40 million lives, according to UNAIDS. This death toll is more than half of the casualties of World War II, which resulted in 70 million deaths.

AIDS in Cinema

Despite the significant impact of AIDS, popular culture has given more attention to World War II. There are countless movies, books, and documentaries about the war, whereas AIDS, a more recent event, has received less attention. However, the reduced number of works about AIDS hasn't affected the quality of the productions. Films like "Philadelphia" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" have made a significant impact, with their lead actors winning Oscars for their performances.

However, these films primarily focus on the personal dramas of those affected by the disease, not the larger societal issues and hidden agendas that AIDS has sparked. They tell individual stories, but they don't delve into the root causes and broader implications of the disease.

The Untold Story of AIDS

The film "Dallas Buyers Club" tells an important story about AIDS: the existence of an effective treatment from the beginning of the pandemic that was suppressed by a conspiracy involving pharmaceutical companies, doctors, scientists, medical societies, hospitals, and the US government. The film depicts how these entities allowed millions to die for profit.

From AIDS to Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a similar dismissal of potential treatments using inexpensive, generic, and unpatented drugs. Despite evidence from frontline doctors who have successfully treated Covid-19 patients with these drugs, mainstream media has labeled these treatments as "proven to be ineffective."

Frontline Results

Despite the dismissive attitude of mainstream media and some medical professionals, several doctors have reported successful treatment of Covid-19 patients using inexpensive, generic drugs. These doctors have achieved impressive results, with low death rates among their patients.

Reality vs. Self-Deception

Some medical professionals have attempted to downplay these results by suggesting that the low death rates could be due to chance. However, these arguments often rely on distorted calculations and ignore the reality of the situation: these treatments are working, and they are saving lives.

Conclusion

History does indeed repeat itself, and it seems that we have not learned from the AIDS pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a similar pattern of denial and dismissal of effective treatments, leading to unnecessary deaths. Those who have stood against these treatments must now face the reality of their actions and the lives that could have been saved.
