I'm not claiming all medicine has become political. There is no political gain to politicize something like treating Dementia. That wouldn't require a nation wide lock down with draconian government policies and mask mandates. Nobody can see a virus, so it's easy to manipulate public fear through propaganda and convince people to throw away their civil rights in the interest of "safety"
You can literally replace Covid with "Global Warming" and force the same draconian government policy on everyone. The crisis empowers governments and the elite while weakening individual rights. Corrupt bureaucrats have been given a gift nicely wrapped to skirt around constitutional norms and it needs to stop
And stop trying to derail the conversation with idiotic questions - stick to the topic. It only shows the weakness of your own position.
Everything The Left touches becomes political. Sports, Medicine, Our Judicial System (Hi Maxine Waters) shopping at Walmart, ect. ect. ect.
The Left IS political in everything it does because it cannot exist without being a revolutionary political movement
Masks don't do anything. There is a long history of large random clinical trials that all show 99.999999999% of the masks people are wearing are totally useless to stop the spread of influenza infections. There is not a large body of research data in relation to random clinical trials that prove masks stop the spread of Covid. There are however, studies that show they don't which are being censored or people on the left are trying to discredit them for obvious reasons
Just a stupid response
Raev was wrong about you

IIRC Raev made the error of equating weather with climate change in a thread a few years back and everyone made sure he never forgot it, myself included. I cannot for the life of me find that thread now, and it may have been another regular on the forums but that's doubtful as Raev has consistently denied that climate change is occurring.
Regardless, you still have not provided names for those scientists mentioned earlier. Also, there are no links for all of the trials you just referred to, which would allow everyone to verify that what you're saying is factual.
If the one surviving Koch brother is irrelevant, with all of his money and influence in Witchita, than you are even less relevant. By all accounts, the dead brother is also more relevant in comparison, unless you somehow happen to have more funds to work with than his estate, in which case you ought to be donating it to p99 so that everyone can experience custom content. If money is irrelevant in a capitalistic society than what is relevant? The Koch brothers are money. They essentially own a college and half of Wichita. They funded a senator's campaign, who then became governor and nearly bankrupted the state of Kansas. Even those who consider their views to be backwards would not claim that they are irrelevant. But you have, so either it is a case of trolling or willful ignorance.
To quote myself quoting smarter people from two years ago...

"Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"We must make a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would "lief" or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on the condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be." ... "In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception." Alan Watts
