R value is very difficult to estimate even with a super computer. A lot of disease are latent. Flu has virtually 0 R value in summer than come winter boom everyone gets it. So R value is not a good indicator of how fast a virus spread.

It's like you really are living on Jupiter. Even Biden understands the vaccine doesn't work
when he says "we have to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated".
Unbelievably ignorant.

Yes correct for Covid it is a fluid number since there is still much learning being done on it. The more info we gather the better we'll be able to calculate. The Flu however is generally in the 1.3-1.5 range if I recall and so many strains so it's hard to have an accurate value on a given season.
Others like Polio and Measles are more defined because of years of data.

really? so unvaccinated automatically equals infected and contagious?
wrong. these conflations are why this sh*tshow even exists. i say again, WRONG.

... I've not even seen the proponents of HCQ describe it in the factual/truthful manner that I just described it, and they genuinely seem like people who want to do the best for their patients. Apparently even they are either under the wrong impression as to the function of antibodies and so-called 'vaccines' designed to assist in making antibodies before viral infection, or also think that 'the ends justify the means' when they tell falsehoods or lies about what the 'vaccine' actually does and in what way they may or may not be helpful to patients (because that's how they've been indoctrinated and conditioned in their medical education, that's it's OK to misrepresent the situation or let people continue to get the wrong impression about these type of 'vaccines' by not correcting them, letting people know that that's not how they work, because the 'vaccines' may be helpful if they help the auto-immune system to make the right type of antibodies, which is a real possibility; ...
...I'm hoping I put it in a somewhat understandable manner for everyone to understand these basic facts of biology that for the moment, aren't honestly admitted to by most people in the medical industry, either out of having the wrong impression themselves or being taught that the end justifies the means, those means being lying about it if they do know better; then it's called a lie rather than a falsehood or something that is incorrect)
“But let God be found true, though every man be found a liar.”—Rom. 3:4.
...
“Let God Be Found True” (1965)
...—Rom. 3:5-8.
So let us today not fool ourselves. The end does not justify the means. If we do bad things just because we like bad things, and then if we try to excuse ourselves by saying that in the long run good will come from such bad things, we shall not escape. God’s righteous judgment will be executed against us just the same.
I probably shouldn't have used the expression "right type of antibody" in my commentary so far, that's confusing, but it's too much to change now. It is true however that the auto-immunesystem can make different standard types of antibodies, and you do want the right one that is actually the most effective against Corona viruses, but you may need more than 1 type for maximum effectiveness (and possibly in different quantities).
If however the 'vaccines' do make the right type of antibodies, it will give your auto-immune system a head start on the virus, and it will help in preventing higher viral loads on average, and a shorter duration of infection, which will prevent more severe symptoms you would have had without that head start, and because your auto-immune system can get rid of the virus more quickly, it will also mitigate viral shedding (i.e. your ability to infect others).
Btw, what counts for propagandists also counts for marketeers (advertizers of other products than philosophy, religious philosophies, religion, and political ideologies or positions).
“A fool will believe anything.”—PROVERBS 14:15, TODAY’S ENGLISH VERSION.
THERE is a difference—a big difference—between education and propaganda. Education shows you how to think. Propaganda tells you what to think. Good educators present all sides of an issue and encourage discussion. Propagandists relentlessly force you to hear their view and discourage discussion. Often their real motives are not apparent. They sift the facts, exploiting the useful ones and concealing the others. They also distort and twist facts, specializing in lies and half-truths. Your emotions, not your logical thinking abilities, are their target.
The propagandist makes sure that his message appears to be the right and moral one and that it gives you a sense of importance and belonging if you follow it. You are one of the smart ones, you are not alone, you are comfortable and secure—so they say.
How can you protect yourself from the types of people that the Bible calls “profitless talkers” and “deceivers of the mind”? (Titus 1:10) Once you are familiar with some of their tricks, you are in a better position to evaluate any message or information that comes your way. Here are some ways to do this.
Be selective: A completely open mind could be likened to a pipe that lets just anything flow through it—even sewage. No one wants a mind contaminated with poison. Solomon, a king and educator in ancient times, warned: “Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers his steps.” (Proverbs 14:15) So we need to be selective. We need to scrutinize whatever is presented to us, deciding what to accept and what to reject.
However, we do not want to be so narrow that we refuse to consider facts that can improve our thinking. How can we find the right balance? By adopting a standard with which to measure new information. Here a Christian has a source of great wisdom. He has the Bible as a sure guide for his thinking. On the one hand, his mind is open, that is, receptive to new information. He properly weighs such new information against the Bible standard and fits what is true into his pattern of thinking. On the other hand, his mind sees the danger of information that is entirely inconsistent with his Bible-based values.
Use discernment: Discernment is “acuteness of judgment.” It is “the power or faculty of the mind by which it distinguishes one thing from another.” A person with discernment perceives subtleties of ideas or things and has good judgment.
Using discernment, we will be able to recognize those who are merely using “smooth talk and complimentary speech” in order to “seduce the hearts of guileless ones.” (Romans 16:18) Discernment enables you to discard irrelevant information or misleading facts and distinguish the substance of a matter. But how can you discern when something is misleading?
Put information to the test: “Beloved ones,” said John, a first-century Christian teacher, “do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions.” (1 John 4:1) Some people today are like sponges; they soak up whatever they come across. It is all too easy to absorb whatever is around us.
But it is far better for each individual personally to choose what he will feed his mind. It is said that we are what we eat, and this can apply to food for both the body and the mind. No matter what you are reading or watching or listening to, test to see whether it has propagandistic overtones or is truthful.
Moreover, if we want to be fair-minded, we must be willing to subject our own opinions to continual testing as we take in new information. We must realize that they are, after all, opinions. Their trustworthiness depends on the validity of our facts, on the quality of our reasoning, and on the standards or values that we choose to apply.

If you use that treatment or have quick access to it (i.e. over the counter at supplement stores or pharmacies, with a nice label telling you not to take too much HCQ*), you also don't need HCQ + zinc for prophylaxis. (*: and if they still take too much then, it's their own damn fault for not reading the label, not an excuse for not making it available over the counter, just like antibiotics should be made available over the counter for the same reasons; i.e. it's a bad argument for not making it available over the counter, the argument that says that they can't make it available over the counter cause people might overdose and harm themselves with it; an argument made by those more worried about legal repercussions than the health of the community or their potential customers, so instead they sell products that are less effective or non-effective for what they are advertized for, and can easily be obtained with the right type of food or in nature, and do not require complicated synthetic chemistry: quercetine, vitamin C, vitamin D3, melatonin, zinc, etc., supplements, not designer drugs).

Your experience sounds like the 'vaccines' may be making the wrong type of anitbodies. ... [So that] your auto-immune system [will] use up its biomaterials to make the wrong type of antibody and continues to use up biological material to make more of the wrong type of antibody, meaning it's too busy making the wrong antibodies to spend much effort and biomaterial to make the right antibodies, and therefore your anti-immune system becomes overtaxed. Something that would not happen if you had had no 'vaccine', cause then your auto-immune system can focus on making the right antibodies and spend all necessary biomaterial on that.
If however the 'vaccines' do make the right type of antibodies, it will give your auto-immune system a head start on the virus, and it will help in preventing higher viral loads on average, and a shorter duration of infection, which will prevent more severe symptoms you would have had without that head start, and because your auto-immune system can get rid of the virus more quickly, it will also mitigate viral shedding (i.e. your ability to infect others). Those in opposition to the 'vaccines' should also try to be honest about that possibility (...). Of course, this all depends on whether the 'vaccines' are causing your auto-immune system to make antibodies (as well as learning you auto-immune system to do this in the future once the antibodies are gone or almost gone from your body) that can actually [help in fighting the virus]. The problem of course is finding out whether or not that's the case with so many unreliable sources in the medical industry ... . ... the 'vaccines' may be helpful if they help the auto-immune system to make the right type of antibodies, which is a real possibility; but difficult to check since for that type of information we are reliant on the researchers in the medical industry that have already proven to be unreliable ... marketeers ...; ...that is the crucial information we need to determin whether or not the 'vaccines' are helpful or not, or even hurtful by keeping your auto-immune system busy with the wrong type of antibody, i.e. ineffective ones; if your antibodies were made by entirely natural means, there is hardly any to no risk that they will be ineffective, and from then on, your auto-immune system knows what to make by experience, it becomes part of the programming).
Can you follow all that? (...)

What we need here now, is in vitro tests on the Delta variant of the Corona virus, to see if the 'vaccines' help with making antibodies that can [help fight that particular variant] (we are in the Delta dominant period, granted, mutations do not cause huge changes to a virus, it is not likely that an antibody that is effective against the Alpha variant is not also effective on the Delta variant; the way HCQ functions definitely ensures that it will work on all variants and other viruses that enter your cell via the ACE-2 receptor, such as the flu/influenza, and it will also inhibit viral transport, viral replication and viral shedding for all variants, cause HCQ doesn't target the virus, but it alters your cell membranes and ACE-2 receptors, and inhibits the operation of the machinery in your cell involved in viral transport, viral replication and viral shedding, and those machines, including ACE-2 receptors and cell membranes, are always the same, if a mutation occurs in your DNA or if there is an error in the RNA derived from that DNA, your body will cancel the process from RNA > protein, and break the wrong/faulty RNA or protein down, and start over to get it right; mutations and errors that are not repaired like that cause problems in the long term, they do not lead to beneficial evolution as some evolutionary philosophers claim concerning mutations acted upon by so-called "natural selection", that would be a myth/false story*).
Those (in vitro tests) are the easiest to do to see if it's working, if the right type of (effective) antibodies are made. Cause once antibodies are made by the auto-immune system, they are not easily modified (because of the way proteins are and how they are folded, once they are in their final confirmation form, you can't change them anymore, the body can't just replace an amino acid in them with another one, it'll have to make an entirely new one if it isn't the right one, i.e. if it cannot [help fight the Delta variant], and because the antibodies do appear functional to the body's error-checking machinery, they won't break them down to re-use the material, it will likely even continue making them even when not effective for that specific Corona virus variant).

The quoted statement from Biden is understandable [if] you [assume that] the 'vaccines' do help your auto-immune system to make antibodies that are effective in [fighting] preferrably all Corona variants, but in particular now the Delta variant. Which could very well be the case (but hard to confirm when the researchers that are supposed to check this have proven to be so unreliable and uncooperative, and prefer to be busy marketing the vaccines for those who design them, and those who design them also being greedy materialists not interested in accurately reporting on what they designed and their own in vitro tests to check for functionality for different variants, or at least one variant; I'm OK with the habit of assuming that if it works on one variant, it'll work for the others as well; then again, if you get that much research money, you might as well check for all variants as soon as they appear). Especially because standard types of antibodies are very versatile, and if that's all the vaccines do, trigger the production of standard types of antibodies that are already effective against all Corona variants, then it works as described in my [adjusted comment above in response to jidnum, 2nd paragraph], i.e. mitigate the more severe symptoms, [shorten] duration of infection and [inhbit] viral shedding (your ability to infect others) [as well as inhibit the number of cells infected]. I probably shouldn't have used the expression "right type of antibody" in my commentary so far, that's confusing, but it's too much to change now. It is true however that the auto-immunesystem can make different standard types of antibodies, and you do want the right one that is actually the most effective against Corona viruses, but you may [will?] need more than 1 type for maximum effectiveness (and possibly in different quantities).

The best method to deal with the Corona pandemic remains treatment with HCQ + zinc + Azithromycin (or possibly Doxycycline) + lots of vitamin C + D3 as much as needed to have the right level, keeping it at that level; with an optional escalation with prednisone if all else fails (without stopping with the earlier mentioned substances); avoiding intubation at all costs and supplying people with oxygen at home if needed [the rest of the comment can stay the same]
