The rules about medicines should be modified, and it's urgent.

Perhaps you are forgetting this:

They are not bad people, just cautious.
Trust me, the pharmaceutical companies would love it if they could skip much of the regulatory frameworks to rush drugs to market, delays cost them money and having a 10 year plus lead time for regulatory approval gives them a much smaller window in which to make their profits.

Even if our immune memory of the coronavirus is short-lived, it is still a boon because we can improve on it. Functional immunity opens the door to vaccines to induce and strengthen immunity. “The kind of immunity you get from a vaccine is not necessarily going to be the same as natural immunity,” says Klenerman. “Vaccines are designed to generate really high levels of immune response. Hopefully we can do even better.”

Homeopathy works for sure. It uses the placebo effect. I never really understand why a benefit obtained by exploiting the placebo effect is rubbished by so many. Homeopathy fails double blind trials because these are designed to screen out the placebo effect.
There was a placebo effect trial I read about a few years ago where (IIRC) doctors told their patients they were prescribing a placebo (a sugar pill), and to take it if they wish because there is evidence the placebo effect is real. Some of those patients (not all) reported an improvement in their condition. More than the control group that was not offered a placebo.
Should those doctors have been stopped? Was it an unethical trial?

The problem of talidomide was the colateral effect. I don't think that because of this case the use of a medicine for different diseases should be prevented. The conclusion of that fact for me is that the colateral effects are more important
than effectiveness. Nowadays, I have seen several medicines with the warning that the colateral effects on pregnants was not studied and the recommendation is not to use it in pregnants.
The club of the bad guys include pharmaceuticals, doctors, authorities and the a part of the press. Difficult it is to know who does more bad actions.
I think if one wants to sell grass to cure some disease and if other wants to but it, it should be allowed. natural things shoud only be forbotten if is't clearly bad. Medicines without proof of effectibeness should be sold with a big warning.
Here a link for a text about the guy who distributed a cancer drug. I don't bet that it's all that for cancer, but I but this a miracoulos for help people to return to walk. It's in portuguese, there are references in English, but not with the other good work the guy does, a compound cheaper and better thatn silicone for fractured bones.

His first couple of sentences include:
"a virus roughly the same as the flu"
"when the hoax, whatever you want to call it began"
I guess that sets the scene for the rest of it?

Yes this bloke has been peddling this line since the very start. I think Lord Sumption must have seen his early video. He says a lot of stuff that is right though in my opinion, if unpopular with Boris and Matt Hancock, starting at about 6 mins 30 sec in.
1) A lot of deaths have been caused by other treatments being stopped, e.g.cancer, due to gov't clearing the hospitals ready for the COVID patients.
2) A "huge percentage" of deaths were in care homes and caused by govt policies of "dumping all those patients into care homes". Those patients in his view "were murdered".
3) It isn't people who are old who should have been protected, it is those who are vulnerable. This includes the old, overweight, diabetes, BAME etc and been saying this since April.
4) 2m social distancing is a waste of time as virus is spread in aerosols that can travel 24ft from the sneezer. Social distancing if implemented, should therefore have be 24ft.
5) 2m is worst possible distance to choose as ineffective at preventing virus spread but highly effective at killing off business activity.
6) Sending untested people into care homes was either reckless and incompetent, or murder, and he cant understand why famous people aren't making a big issue out of this.
7) As many people have been killed by the lockdown as by the virus when you take into account cancer and other medical treatment withheld.
8) He forecasts this being used by the govt to get rid of cash and to make vaccination effectively compulsory. He also points out smart meters can be used to turn off electricity to your home if you say too much stuff the govt doesn't like. Just sayin', like.
9) BBC is the major source of lies and misleading info and the media as a whole has failed to challenge the govt on much of what they have done.
10) Members of the govt cannot possibly all be stupid and not realise all of the above, probably none of them are, so what is their ulterior motive for the way they have conducted this pandemic?
Broadly speaking I've done a near 180 degree turnaround In my opinion of him having listened to his views again (which I expected to find objectionable). I find myself agreeing with much of what he says. He gets very aerated in a very engaging way but goes a bit loopy at times. Even so, well worth listening to right to the end I suggest, despite being 42 mins long.
