It's getting late, so I will look into this another time. But I just had to say, as someone who does transcription for work all day, every day, I know what a task this must have been! (People DO NOT understand.) So, thank you!

Thank you for the transcript. I saw that Denis Rancourt recently posted three papers showing that happy hypoxia as it has been called is also not unique to covid and I was very surprised to see that one of the papers asserts that anyone deeply familiar with the lungs should know that. That leaves less and less to distinguish covid in that NYC ICU from simply meaning ill and ventilated rather than some novel disease progression.

I don't know and I am certainly no expert but he seems unnecessarily defensive at times and almost resentful of answering some questions, it was subtle but it was there. I just feel someone who is 100% convinced of the situation presented to him during 2020 and his resulting actions and words would be more open and less resentful to any queries. I was not convinced by him which surprised me. He could be a man who is desperately trying to conceal, even to himself, the true reality of Covid 2020.

Something very bizarre about the “protocols” he helped create early on. Running IV tubing thru walls? How does one assess the IV site? That does not add up.

I observe that Dr. Kory's descriptions of Covid symptoms differs from the symptoms experienced by the Chinese doctors dealing with Covid in Wuhan. Also, the severity differs. In Wuhan, we are told that only 26% of patients hospitalized for Covid ended up in ICU, and less than 5% of hospitalized covid patients died. The treatments also seem to have been different. Also, the age and comorbidity analysis from Wuhan differs from Dr. Kory's story. Significantly, the Chinese estimate that 41% of patients picked up Covid while in the hospital. (The UK has estimated it similarly). And he wonders why some people have difficulty attributing what supposedly happened in NYC to Covid?

You might contact the office of Republican Joann Ariola, Chair of the Fire Committee. You are doing a "study on the response time of ambulances". There is a few of her committee meetings, one on finance, one on housing. Check the calendar. Maybe she can give you a commitment. Let me know.

As a reference point, Kory's 28-page curriculum vitae is available here: https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/FLCCC-Alliance-member-CV-Kory.pdf

It starts with a 1-page narrative bio that says, "Dr. Kory has led ICU’s in multiple COVID-19 hotspots throughout the pandemic, having led his old ICU in New York City during their initial surge in May for 5 straight weeks, he then travelled to other COVID-19 hotspots to run COVID ICU’s in Greenville, South Carolina and Milwaukee, WI during their surges."

I was also curious if anyone wants to comment on his defense of remdesivir for early outpatient treatment. I am not familiar with the trial he is talking about that shows "profoundly positive" results if it is used early. I don't think it has ever been used at any scale for early treatment? Remdesivir is a drug that emerged from a highly connected group of people, such as the new CDC director, and I was surprised to see Dr. Kory defend it when it has such a bad reputation now. Perhaps that has to do with the ongoing litigation he mentioned in one of his comment sections where he apparently is acting as an expert witness to defend doctor's use of hospital protocols which he claims are poorly understood by social media.

Thank you for doing the transcriptions. It's doubtful I would watch all three videos. It's notable that Kory himself makes a couple claims far outside the mainstream. "Long Vax" Americans numbering potentially close to 3 million; and the virus as a bioweapon (released by the U.S. military, right?).

Fair enough.

Still interested in your exciting research.

I think a recent article I wrote is germane to the topic/debate of whether there was a "novel virus" spreading in the world months before the lockdowns (and did this virus make huge numbers of people sick?)

I’ve reached the conclusion that tens of millions of people had already been infected by this novel virus before the lockdowns. To me, this proves this virus was NOT “deadly” as there would have been a huge number of Covid deaths by March 1 if this virus was as lethal as the experts said it was.

One way I’ve tried to prove or support my “early spread” hypothesis is by publishing some of the testimonials of people who think they had early cases. I’ve actually been saving many hundreds of these testimonials for almost four years. Yesterday, I just published excerpts from some of these testimonials.

I hope a few serious Covid researchers will at least skim these comments, which are very interesting and, I think, quite persuasive. Basically, when you have millions of people who think the same thing, this volume of anecdotes might actually be significant.

I'm fascinated by how different the new york experience was from other places. Right down to the demographics. Where else were 30 year olds so seriously ill? And why wasn't that seen when the virus was silently circulating for months before the wuhan outbreak. People found it to be a nasty flu. Nothing more

Indeed I did.

Followed on Housatonic and JJ Coucy.

Are you able to testify before the NYC Council?

Check their schedule and calendar.

They have various committees that might be useful like Public Safety or Fire or Environment or other related to your inquiry. Quite a variety.

Hi Jessica, I don't know what to say about his work or what he saw in NYC. However, this long covid, novel virus, etc. that he talks about could very well have been caused by I toxin. I don't know how to understand the numbers in regard to deaths based on your research. He seems earnest, but perhaps he just does not understand the darker side. He does really make me feel that I got it all wrong. Sorry I don't have anything more intelligent to say.
