媒体访谈：“受保护的群体免疫”终止全球Covid-19

在近日接受的媒体访谈中（包括纽约福克斯新闻，Fox5 NYC晨间主播，Bianca Peters）以及纽约市国会候选人（Greg Fischer）平台，以及佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州的媒体机构 ，我提出一个新概念：受保护的群体免疫（Protected Herd Immunity）。并提出，受保护的群体免疫不仅能阻止Covid-9，而且有助于预防及阻止今后类似的大流行。

摘要：

1. Covid-19在全球短短约4个月内夺走了近20万人的生命，并造成数万亿美元的损失。

2.在尝试用于Covid-19的几种治疗方法中，高剂量Vit C（HDIVC）在降低死亡率，减少ICU或住院时间方面显示了非常有希望的结果，并且非常安全，没有明显的副作用。  HDIVC在治疗传染性（包括病毒性）疾病方面的有效性及其高安全性是基于扎实的科学基础，数十年来的基础和临床研究反映在世界上最大的生物医学图书馆（美国国家医学图书馆）上成千上万的研究论文中， 由NIH（pubmed.gov）托管。

3.鉴于缺乏可靠且广为接受的Covid-19有效治疗方法，HDIVC的高安全性和HDIVC的有希望的有效性使得对HDIVC的富有同情心的临床使用非常合理。 对于Covid-19患者，我认为不给予HDIVC似乎是不可想象的，甚至可能是不道德的。

4.在世界范围内，我们看到流行病的趋势在增加，尤其是由新病毒引起的流行病。

5.在全球范围内，我们没有针对Covid-19和未来新流行病的可靠预防和治疗计划。

6.疫苗开发的冗长使疫苗成为对抗（Covid-19等)新流行病的不理想和不完整的预防计划。 这是因为只有在新的流行病发生后才能开发疫苗。 从疫情暴发到疫苗准备临床使用，总是有很长的延迟。 这种漫长的延误可能至少需要2-3年，甚至更长的时间，而且由于病毒的易突变性，有效疫苗可能根本开发不出来。  Covid-19病毒（SARS-Cov-2）是一种易于变异的病毒。 对于SARS，MERS，Covid-19和其他许多流行病，我们所能做的就是隔离和祈祷。 人类历史上从来没有及时开发出一种疫苗来制止正在进行的首次流行病。

7.我们需要积极主动的预防和治疗计划，这些计划可以保护我们免受所有入侵的病原体的侵害，这些计划必须是安全有效的，并且对于大规模应用而言是易于获得和廉价的。 这些预防和治疗措施将保护我们免于感染传染病，或者如果我们将其传染，则将降低疾病的严重程度并防止其发展为更严重的疾病。

8.在大量可靠的研究支持下，Vit C，Vit D3，锌，镁和许多其他维生素和营养素以及健康的生活方式都可以实现上述目标。 这些在预防和治疗包括Covid-19在内的流行病中应发挥不可或缺的重要作用。

9.在此我提出一新的概念：受保护的群体免疫(protected herd immunity)。 我们似乎需要群体免疫来阻止Covid-19大流行。 我认为，政府不加干预的，听其自然的“群体免疫”是一被动的，高风险的措施。在没有任何保护的情况下让公众感染病毒，获得免疫似乎是不道德的，容易导致公众对政府的不满。 而在易感人群中推广足量维生素C，维生素D，锌，镁和其他维生素的使用将有助于减少受病毒感染后的症状发生，或免受感染。我称其为“受保护的群体免疫”。 这不仅有助于阻止Covid-19，而且还可以防止将来的流行病失去控制。

佛罗里达媒体访谈

I have been doing interviews nearly everyday on different media platforms including major media like Fox News New York City (with Fox5 NYC morning anchor Bianca Peters) and platform for congressional candidate from NYC (Greg Fischer), as well as media outlets from Florida and Texas. 

I proposed "Protected Herd Immunity", a new concept, to stop Covid-19 pandemic.

Highlights:

1. Covid-19 has claimed nearly 200,000 lives and cost trillions of US dollars of damages in a short period of ~4 months globally. 

2. Out of the few treatments being tried for Covid-19, high-dose Vit C (HDIVC) shows very promising results in treating Covid-19 with reduced fatalities, reduced ICU or hospital stays and is very safe, without significant side effects. HDIVC’s effectiveness in treating infectious (including viral) diseases and its high safety profile is based on solid science with decades of basic and clinical research reflected in the tens of thousands of research papers in world’s largest biomedical library, the United States National Library of Medicine, hosted at the NIH (pubmed.gov). 

3. Given the lack of proven and widely accepted effective treatments of Covid-19, the high safety profile of HDIVC and promising effectiveness of HDIVC makes the the compassionate use of HDIVC very reasonable. For  Covid-19 patients, not to give HDIVC seems unthinkable or may even be unethical in my opinion. 

4. Worldwide, we are seeing an increasing trend of epidemics, especially epidemics caused by new viruses.

5. Worldwide, we don’t have solid prevention and treatment plans for Covid-19 and future new epidemics. 

6. The lengthy and reactive nature of vaccine development makes vaccine an unideal and incomplete prevention plan for new epidemics.  This is because vaccines can only be developed after a new epidemics occurs. There is always a lengthy delay from an epidemic outbreak until a vaccine is ready for clinical use. This lengthy delay is probably at least 2-3 years, if not longer, not to mention the likelihood that effective vaccines may never be available for viruses that are easy to mutate. Covid-19 virus (SARS-Cov-2) is such a virus that’s easy to mutate. For SARS, MERS, Covid-19 and many other epidemics, all what we could do was isolation and pray. We didn’t have vaccines. There has never been a vaccine that’s developed in a timely manner to stop an ongoing first time epidemic in the history of mankind.

7. We need prevention and treatment plans that are pro-active, that can defend us against all invading pathogens, that are safe and effective, and that are readily available and inexpensive for wide scale application. These prevention and treatment measures will protect us from catching the infectious disease, or if we catch it, will reduce the disease severity and prevent from progressing into more serious diseases. 

8. Backed by abundant scientfic research, Vit C, Vit D3, zinc, magnesium and many other vitamins and nutrients, as well as healthy lifestyle can achieve what’s described above. These should play an integral and important role in prevention and treatment of epidemics including Covid-19.

9. Protected Herd Immunity. We seem to need herd immunity to stop Covid-19 pandemic. To leave the public to Covid-19 without any protection seems unethical, in my opinion. Optimal doses of Vit C, Vit D, zinc, magnesium and others in the susceptible population will help to develop protected controlled herd immunity.  This will not only help to stop Covid-19, but also to prevent future epidemics from getting out of control.
