I can't emphasize this enough. Colchicine is used for gout. It's a special anti-inflammatory drug. It's derived from the petals of a purple flower. So the pill is purple, but it's so beneficial. It's mandatory in any form of myopericarditis. Mandatory. It's in the guidelines.

And the safety of the vaccines has always been an issue, including excess death. In this paper, there's an evidence table now. We have a dozen studies showing that. that the COVID-19 vaccines are associated with an increased mortality, not a decrease in mortality.
