Dr. Iggy Agbayani in my column

I checked my columns in BusinessWorld on health and lockdown economics , I realize that I mentioned or quoted Doc Iggy Agbayani 8x already. Reviewing them here.

1. GDP contraction, CDC PH, and medicine taxes
November 11, 2020

"My alumni group, the UP School of Economics Alumni Association (UPSEAA) held a Zoom lecture given by Dr. Benigno “Iggy” Agbayani, Jr., on “Philippines COVID-19 Response, What we got right and wrong” on Nov. 4. Dr. Agbayani is a fellow UP alumnus (BS Biology, Medical Degree, and Residency at UP-PGH). He is currently the Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics, Manila Doctors Hospital. He is also a co-founder of the Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC PH) that campaigns to “Flatten the fear” and lift the lockdown..."

2. Global economic impact of lockdowns

"That afternoon, the Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC PH) led by Dr. Iggy Agbayani and Dr. Allan Landrito held a face-to-face meeting with Gov. Garcia at the Cebu Provincial Capitol. Another set of CDC PH people led by Dr. Homer Lim and Dr. Randy Nicolas had a Zoom meeting with Senator Sotto. A few hours after the meeting, Senator Sotto delivered his speech at the Senate plenary and narrated the information he got from CDC PH doctors."

3. Rising cases, vaccine and Ivermectin
April 5, 2021
https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2021/04/05/358351/rising-cases-vaccine-and-ivermectin/

“Our FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and DoH (Department of Health) are very strict about recommendations and demand for clinical trials on Ivermectin, fine. But where are the clinical trials on the safety and efficacy studies on mandatory face shields? Why give special treatment to new vaccines that still have no long-term safety studies and only a single placebo randomized controlled trial per vaccine, a consideration not given to the 24-RCT supported efficacy, very affordable and safe Ivermectin?”
— Dr. Benigno “Iggy”Agbayani, Jr.,
President, CDC PH

4. My whole family got COVID
August 23, 2021

"Then there are support advice from other CDC PH doctors and friends like Dr. Iggy Agbayani, lots of medicines and supplements from Gigi Bautista and Eli Abela, lots of Vit. C, D, Azithromycin, zinc, .."

5. Budget 2022, borrowings, and OCTA
September 6, 2021
https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2021/09/06/394558/budget-2022-borrowings-and-octa/

"I received a formal invitation to be one of the speakers from the Committee Chairman, Representative Michael Edgar Aglipay. Since Dr. Benigno “Iggy” Agbayani was also invited and we are both members of the Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC PH), I informed Mr. Aglipay that I would not present and I sent my input and research to Doc Iggy and he will present our joint paper."

6. Philippines’ monthly birth and death data show that indefinite lockdown and mass vaccination are wrong
January 10, 2022
https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2022/01/10/422690/philippines-monthly-birth-and-death-data-show-that-indefinite-lockdown-and-mass-vaccination-are-wrong/

"And the former CDC Ph President Dr. Benigno “Iggy” Agbayani, Jr. offered a good course of action: 'These statistics on deaths and births have a huge implication on the longest, most expensive and tyrannical health protocols our country has ever tried. Unbridled lockdowns and experimental vaccinations are the most likely suspects in this sudden high deaths and low birth rates. An investigation by independent and credible experts on this life and death anomaly should be launched as soon as possible.'"

7. Today’s topics: Economic briefing in Washington DC, PPP Center, Tariff Commission, and agencies with no secretaries
October 17, 2022
https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2022/10/17/481159/todays-topics-economic-briefing-in-washington-dc-ppp-center-tariff-commission-and-agencies-with-no-secretaries/

"Two doctors would be good as the next DoH Secretary. One is Dr. Godofreda “Jody” Vergeire-Dalmacion, an epidemiologist and retired professor from the Department of Pharmacology, University of the Philippines (UP) College of Medicine. The other is Dr. Benigno “Iggy” Agbayani, Jr., also a product of the UP College of Medicine and former President of Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC PH). Both physicians have high credibility and independence, they opposed the lockdown, and advocated focused protection via cheap, proven, and off-patent medicines.

I hope President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. will consider Mike Toledo, Dr. Jody Vergeire-Dalmacion or Dr. Iggy Agbayani for those positions."

8. Appreciating life, family, and friends
October 24, 2022
https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2022/10/24/482583/appreciating-life-family-and-friends/

"Six, the Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC PH), for their courage in fighting the authoritarian lockdown, the mandatory use of face shields and masks even outdoors, the mandatory vaccination, and discrimination based on the vax card.

In particular, I wish to thank past CDC PH presidents Dr. Benigno “Iggy” Agbayani, Jr., Dr. Homer Lim, and current President Dr. Marivic Villa."

Surviving Covid, the story of Mari and Enchang Kaimo

Image
My cool, articulate, TV host friend Mari Kaimo and his wife Enchang Kaimo got sick last July 3. This is a belated repost, his story how he survived Covid, long haul. I failed to post this earlier because I myself got sick of Covid and was hardly touching my laptop for at least a week. Anyway here it is. ------------ July 31, 2021 It’s now official! By the grace of God, Enchang and I are now documented COVID survivors.  I first felt sick July 3rd. If you check the CDC USA website on COVID, you will find a list of symptoms. These are the ones I had:     Fever or chills     Cough     Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing     Fatigue     Muscle or body aches     Headache     Sore throat     Congestion or runny nose  Ench had similar symptoms but fewer than I did. On Day 2, I started to experience the shortness of breath and immediately double-dosed on Iverm...

Dr. Romy Quijano on vaccine and IVM (part 2)

Image
 Retired faculty member of UP College of Medicine Dr Romeo "Romy" Quijano wrote a 3-parts papers about the vaccine. Reposting portions of them here.   (1) Herd Immunity and Vaccines (FAQ Part 1)  Romeo F. Quijano MD  June 21, 2021  https://romeoquijanomd.net/2021/06/21/herd-immunity-and-vaccines-faq/   … The goal of achieving “herd immunity” through vaccination is practically unattainable mainly because it relies on numerous flawed assumptions such as: homogenous, well-mixing population that is behaving basically in a similar manner, random vaccination with almost perfect efficacy, and uniformity in the population. In reality, many different factors shape patterns of risk and susceptibility to disease, including, among others, age and sex, ethnicity and life circumstances, including stress, lifestyle and naturally resilient immune system. Other problems that make “herd immunity” an unachievable goal through vaccination include: secondary vaccine failur...
