It was kept a global secret. Uttar Pradesh (UP) is a state in the north of India with a population of 231 million people. Its the home of the Taj Mahal. If it were a country, it would be the sixth largest in the world. In my view, the foundation of UPs historic achievement rests on the integrity of its Chief Minister (CM) Yogi Adityanath. He is a Hindu monk and known for his policy of zero tolerance against corruption. The importance of this quality cannot be overstated, especially given the last 2 years of unceasing corruptions of medical science and public health policy that continuously emerge each day. More about the Yogi: first off, at 26 he became the youngest member of Parliament in Indias history. And although he has clashed at times with his political party leaders (BJP), they leave him alone because he is considered a star campaigner (plus he has, at times, successfully helped candidates they did not want to gain office). Since taking office as CM over three and half years ago, he took action against 775 corrupt officials in UP from the Indian Administrative Service and the Indian Police Service. His leadership during COVID should serve as a historically inspiring example to politicians. They should take note of how honest, forthright policies designed with the singular goal of serving and protecting the public good can succeed in politics. To wit, in the early 2022 elections in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath was re-elected with his party securing 255 of the 403 seats. Compare this to the next most successful opposition party (INC), which only obtained 5 seats. Further, Yogi Adityanath is the only CM of the state with a full five years in office to win the subsequent election and retain it. Even the Union Minister of Home Affairs and Cooperation lauded him, saying that Yogi Adityanath brought Uttar Pradesh out of the path of corruption and onto a path of development. This reminds me of the three Brazilian city mayors who won landslide elections after creating city-wide early treatment initiatives with ineffective drugs like HCQ, IVM etc. (as you can learn from this hit job of an article on all three mayors). I believe Yogi Adityanaths emphasis on deterring corruption was the key ingredient to one of the most successful public health campaigns in history. Yogi Adityanaths achievement in combatting COVID resulted from the massive amount of human and institutional resources he mobilized, along with his selection of extremely talented and committed public health officials. His oversight of these officials ensured they could carry out their tasks without big Pharmas influence. It is clear from the record below that his primary purpose was doing what he thought best for the citizens of UP. One remarkable example of Yogi Adityanaths early efforts as CM was his launch of a call center for UP citizens to address grievances to problems in their daily lives or with failures of government services. The call center received an average of 37,000 calls a day, and resolved 95% of a total of the 2.1 million calls in the programs first year. Now, imagine this. In COVID, the government itself made 10,000 calls a day to follow up on citizens ill with COVID. Even hospitalized citizens were getting calls to make sure they were OK and getting the care they needed. An absolutely inspiring example of what I used to think was still possible in this country, i.e good government. This post on UP relies on the work of not only TrialSite News (the only publication in the world to consistently and accurately cover UPs program) but also the incredible work of FLCCC analyst Juan Chamie. Juan, to me, is a historical figure because I credit his pre-print paper of October 2020 in which he detailed the incredible successes of Perus mass ivermectin distribution program (Operation Tayta, which I consider almost a prototype for UPs TTT program) as the final data point needed for the FLCCC to conclude that ivermectin should be globally and systematically deployed in prevention and treatment of COVID. His paper also inspired my Senate testimony. Below is a short bio of Juan, written by Mike Capuzzo on his COVID-related Substack Rescue. Fun fact: Mike is the author of two New York Times best-sellers and is the co-author of my upcoming book The War on Ivermectin. He is also the author of the amazing and award winning magazine article: The Drug that Cracked Covid (a must read). Juan is an independent data analyst in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who does work for major corporate clients. A native Colombian, he heard about the efficacy of ivermectin in South America early in the pandemic, and began deep data dives into public health records across the globe. He created striking graphics showing COVID cases and deaths dropping off the cliff in numerous regions, cities, and countries after introduction of IVM. Chamie has published his work widely and collaborated with Dr. Pierre Kory of the FLCCC Alliance, who says the data scientist is producing historic epidemiological analyses that have influenced doctors and saved lives worldwide. Now, lets break down what happened in Uttar Pradesh. The First COVID Wave In March of 2020, Yogi Adityanath convened (and chaired throughout) a committee of 11 senior government officials tasked with managing different aspects like surveillance and contact tracing, testing and treatment, sanitization, containment, enforcement, doorstep delivery, issues of migrants, communication strategy etc. The committee was widely known as Team 11. The complexity and comprehensiveness of UPs Test, Track, and Treat (TTT) program was superbly well detailed in this 132 page report from October 2021, compiled by a professor from one of the top universities in India (the Indian Institute of Technology - Kanpur). In a bit of foreshadowing to the central focus of this post, one of the most notable aspects of this dense report is that it was issued a month after the near complete eradication of COVID that occurred in UP during September of 2021. The word ivermectin appears only once in the report, at the end of a list of drugs they monitor the supply of, despite the fact that almost the entire success of the TTT program relied on the massive distribution of IVM to 97,000 villages using 400,000 health care workers working in teams that performed the most testing in all of India (UP was also in the top 5 testing countries in the world). Shocking, I know. But note that UP started out strong right from the beginning. Early on in the pandemic, in March 2020, taking the lead from Indias national protocol, UP immediately adopted hydroxychloroquine for use in prevention of COVID for all its Health Care Workers as well as household contacts of all laboratory confirmed cases (to get to their 2020 protocol, you need to set your VPN to India). Recall that HCQs promise in treatment had been known since the original SARS pandemic, a fact long ago highlighted by Anthony Fauci. Yet in COVID, when its threat to Pharma as an effective treatment became reality, Fauci essentially led the first Disinformation campaign against a repurposed drug in the pandemic. His campaign is described in RFK Jrs book, The Real Anthony Fauci in the deeply referenced first section of Chapter 1, called Killing Hydroxychloroquine. Then, in August 2020, UP broke from the Feds and switched their protocol to ivermectin after an experiment in UPs Agra, a city of 1.6 million inhabitants. The head of the states Rapid Response Team units, Dr. Anshul Pareek, had decided to conduct a study of ivermectin as a preventive agent based on a report from a veterinarian (to be fair, it was also based on other promising clinical reports in humans). I came to know that this virus is also found in cow-buffalo and other animals. Then a vet friend of mine told that in such a situation, animals are cured with large doses of ivermectin. First we started with one pill every 15 days. There were 10 members in my team. Everyone used to eat it on 15-15 days; the experiment was successful. The team members did not get infected even after coming in contact with the infected. Viral load was found to be very low in those who were infected. Then it was used on health and other frontline workers. Uttar Pradesh State Surveillance Officer Vikssendu Agrawal went on the record later telling TrialSite News: Uttar Pradesh was the primary state within the nation to introduce large-scale prophylactic and therapeutic use of ivermectin. Agrawal recounted that early on, Dr. Pareek administered ivermectin to local health staff members, finding that none of them developed COVID-19 regardless of being in day-by-day contact with sufferers who had examined optimistic for the virus. This gave them positive results. We took note at the state headquarters, and asked a technical team to look into it. It recommended that it can be tried across the state as a prophylactic. Recognizing the sense of urgency, we decided to go ahead. So, UP immediately started administering ivermectin to close contacts of positive cases in the district and noticed profoundly positive results. Based on these observations, the state health authorities gave the green light to use off-label ivermectin not only in prevention
but in treatment. This was their protocol for use of ivermectin: 1) Close contacts of COVID-19 patients 2) Health care workers 3) General care of COVID-19 patients The Indian Express announced the big switch from HCQ to IVM in this article from early August 2020: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
