On Election Day, South Korea Reports Record COVID Daily Cases of 342,446
It seems like countries that tried the COVID Zero strategy are now the ones experiencing massive outbreaks. New Zealand and Hong Kong, like South Korea were all hailed as COVID success stories and all three have largely given up now on stopping COVID:
Korea reported a record 342,446 new Covid-19 infections on election day, and one in 10 people in the country have contracted the virus.

Wednesday’s count was up 139,726 from the previous day, or 68.9 percent, and crossed the 300,000 mark for the first time. All but 58 cases were locally transmitted, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).
The total caseload now stands at 5,212,118, exceeding 5 million for the first time. That is 10.2 percent of the country’s total population of 51.3 million people.
On Feb. 28, health authorities warned the pandemic would peak at up to 350,000 daily cases around mid-March based on the predictions made by research institutes. After then, the government scrapped the vaccine pass system to get into restaurants, bars and cafes, and the mandatory quarantine of virus patients’ cohabitants. It also relaxed a curfew on businesses by an hour to 11 p.m. Such eased public health measures, along with and more transmissible strain of the virus known as “Stealth Omicron,” led to the sharp rise in infections.

At a time when the nations of the world were recording about 15,000 COVID deaths per day, Dr. Andrew Hill of the University of Liverpool was about to publish a meta-analysis for the World Health Organization and other leading health agencies indicating the remarkable effectiveness of a repurposed drug in treating COVID-19, reducing hospitalization by some 80%.
But when he published his highly influential pre-print paper on Jan. 18, 2021, his stated conclusion didn’t match the study’s findings. Instead of urging physicians around the world who were desperate for solutions to try the safe and effective drug, Hill wrote: “Ivermectin should be validated in larger appropriately controlled randomized trials before the results are sufficient for review by regulatory authorities.”
The English researcher’s turnabout didn’t go unnoticed.
A colleague, Dr. Tess Lawrie, confronted Hill in a remarkable Zoom video conversation that was recorded and featured in a short documentary produced by Oracle Films.
Lawrie, the director of the Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy at the University of the Witwatersrand in Bath, England, got Hill to admit that his non-profit sponsors, UNITAID, pressured him to alter his conclusion.
UNITAID bills itself as a “global health agency.” It’s funded by vaccine promoters such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which committed $120 million to an expensive ivermectin competitor, a Merck drug called molnupiravir. Some medical scientists have warned that the genotoxic molnupiravir could cause viral mutants and worsen the pandemic.
“I think I’m in a very sensitive position here,” Hill told Lawrie.
Has science been tainted by politics?
She replied, “Lots of people are in sensitive positions; they’re in hospital, in ICUs dying, and they need this medicine.”
It turned out that the University of Liverpool received $40 million from UNITAID just four days before the publication of Hill’s study.
Lawrie noted to Hill that he is not a clinician.
“You’re not seeing people dying every day. And this medicine prevents deaths by 80%. So, 80% of those people who are dying today don’t need to die because there’s Ivermectin.”
Hill argued that the National Institutes of Health would not agree to recommend ivermectin.
“Yeah,” Lawrie replied, “because the NIH is owned by the vaccine lobby.
“This is bad research. So at this point, I am really, really worried about you,” she said.
