Did you watch the video?
No its far too long. However I am aware of his views. However you did not mention what exactly he said that impressed you so much contrary to general medical body.
Let's start with a simple point: as a frontline doctor he noted there was almost no focus/resources spent on early treatment (there still isn't). And very little guidance on hospital treatment, which he and some colleagues published a paper on quite early on.
Anyone who has any knowledge of the disease, knows that understanding of covid is still at a relatively primitive stage. Much of it is still theoretical and there are numerous claims for so many treatments and at times contradictory. Even within same unit experts have disagreed on best course of treatment. In the early stages the treatments were based on what was known about patients with severe respiratory conditions. However if you speak any intensive care anaesthetist they will tell you that was a mistake and in cases ventilation of these patients made the condition worst. You may or may not be aware of the contradictory claims made about the anti-malarials at times polar opposite.
The sudden emergence of this virus has meant that there is very little reliable medium to long term data & even much of the existing one is not entirely reliable.
Of course there was guidance for hospital treatment, unfortunately it varied from hospital to hospital, simply as there was no consensus (definitely no solid evidence) as to the best management path. He was one of hundreds if not thousands of authors to have published papers and his was no more valid then many others. WHO did issue guidelines from very early stages, however not everyone agreed with them. Therefore its unethical for any clinician to prescribe treatment which they do not agree with.
As for no resources on early treatment, no idea what he is talking about. In countries such as UK, where there in a national health service, virtually everything was put on hold to deal with this virus. Not sure what he means by early treatment. There are literally thousands of publications claiming treatment X or Y limits disease progression. If the focus wasn't on early treatment where would these papers have emerged. Secondly how on earth does he know there was no focus on early treatment. Did he visit every hospital around the globe? Physicians all over the globe were and still are trying to deal with the virus the best they can with limited reliable data that is available.
I am quite happy to deal with any other point he has raised which you feel are credible in breaking down medical response. After all that is the gist of your post.
If you disagree please provide us with early treatment protocols for covid published by health authorities, and treatment protocols for hospitalised patients with the timeline of this publication.
I think my above response covers this point
