I am an American citizen that has had an abiding relationship with and love for, the islands and people of the Bahamas for over 40 years, which is why I am particularly concerned for their well being during this pandemic. I believe that if the Commonwealth of the Bahamas continues to follow the WHO and U.S. FDA, NIH and CDC's lead during the COVID-19 pandemic, they will wind up following the U.S. off of what has been our deadly cliff. As of the first few days of October the U.S. was still averaging over
700 COVID-19 deaths every day which could easily be
reduced by 3/4 to just 175 per day over a period of just a couple of weeks, if all U.S. treating physicians simply followed the lead of doctors in other countries that adopted widespread
early outpatient treatment of COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine that, as a result, enjoy
a 72% lower death rate than countries like the U.S., Mexico, the U.K. and France whose citizens continue to be sacrificed as a result of limited/late use of hydroxychloroquine.

Theoretically
that number of daily deaths could even be reduced to just 7 (at 1%) or
even just 2 per day (at Zelenko's 99.7% recovery rate), if the U.S. were to adopt the Zelenko Protocol on a nationwide basis. World renowned French virologist and epidemiologist Dr. Didier Raoult suggested that COVID-19 is the easiest to cure respiratory virus that has come along - provided it is treated without delay.
Beginning back in March, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko and his team saw 2,200 COVID-19 patients in Monroe New York and, in all, only lost 2. One that had advanced leukemia and the other that sought treatment far too late during the course of his infection. Zelenko sent about 2/3 of the younger and healthier patients home to get better on their own with close monitoring, and
treated the remaining 1/3 elderly and high-risk patients with comorbidities - and all patients that had shortness of breath -
immediately upon the presentation of symptoms or clinical suspicion of COVID-19 with
hydroxychloroquine+zinc+Azithromycin (or Doxycycline), without waiting for the (
often unreliable) results of a COVID-19 test to be returned.
That's a 99.9% recovery rate over 2,200 patients and a 99.7% recovery rate among his treated elderly and high-risk patients through immediate treatment, while the entire cost of the off-patent time-tested medications administered totaled about $14-$20. Far from being obscure, the Zelenko Protocol is today prescribed all around the world and has been adopted by entire nation-states.

What kind of legacy will the leaders of the Bahamas leave behind for future generations to remember this chapter in Bahamian history by? As having been sharp enough to have adopted a safe, inexpensive, 99+% effective treatment protocol, that allowed their citizens to fearlessly and confidently pursue and enjoy life completely normally again with open markets and borders and their beautiful smiles showing - while suffering only a tiny fraction of the viral deaths of even a normal flu season, from COVID-19, as they reach herd immunity perhaps within months - with a $14 treatment protocol employing safe, reliable old medications that are taken by millions of people every day, that eliminate the need to even consider squandering the nation's resources on any expensive new patented therapeutics that come along, much less risking immunological or neurological damage to Bahamian citizens through a completely unnecessary and rushed vaccine, the long term negative side effects of which will not be known for many years.
