I did not see the step by step drug treatment protocol that Dr. Daniel Griffin recommends in the show notes. Please post it would be helpful.
Thank you,

Came here today looking for the same thing.
I am also came here looking for the step-by-step drug treatment protocol. Please post each week and update as needed.
I did write down the first week drug treatments ranked in order of his preference (apologies in advance for misspellings) as of this particular show:
1. Paxlovid
2. Bebtelovimab
3. Remdesivir
4. Malnupirivir
I also came here looking for this document.
Hi there,
How should one interpret and respond to the statement below in layman’s terms?
A very short reply would be much appreciated!
Best regards,
Andrew Stoll
“The bodies of the vaccinated definitely do serve as excellent selection grounds for vaccine-escaping variants because the vaccines do not inhibit viral growth in the nasopharynx and do not inhibit initial infection. (In fact, it is clear that the vaccines actually promote infection in all but those boosted less than about 8 weeks previously.) The bodies of the vaccinated also have immune systems that are focussed on the spike protein rather than the rest of entire virus (and due to “original antigenic sin” a vaccinated person then does not make strong subsequent antibody responses to the rest of the virus if they become infected). Those who become immune through infection (rather than vaccination) have broader antibody responses that make it more difficult for the virus to evolve to escape those.”
