From the “Wall Street Journal”:<\/p>\n
“Ivermectin Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date – Patients who got the antiparasitic drug didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fare better than those who received a placebo”: https:\/\/on.wsj.com\/3Ip0FnJ<\/p>\n

I got Omicron and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m vaxed. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not mild. The first five days were like a slight cold, but then I went down hard. I still have serious lung issues after 10 weeks, but a 14 day run of azithromycin seems to be helping so far. Regardless of whatever anyone says, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rough and very unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.<\/p>\n

Well said man. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I did the prudent thing. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Stayed at home for 20 months. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Cloroxd my shoes and washed my hands to sand paper. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Then I got the COVID\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..it was NOT a flu and my doctor said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153if I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t vaccinated \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Plus booster I would have died. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0It was not cool as I attempted to cough up body parts that didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.and oh how cool it is to taste and smell food again. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Pin heads<\/p>\n

Thanks for the caveat on Michael Ball\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s letter. The guy spoke relatively reasonably, without name calling, etc, then posted three links to prove his points. For kicks, I clicked in them because he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right about David Muir. That guy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s terrible.<\/p>\n
And here we go, down the rabbit hole. All three of those links failed to prove the writer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s points. All three of them pointed to possibilities and potentials, but with clear disclaimers and caveats.<\/p>\n
The BBC link about masks talked about the far-increased effectiveness of higher-grade masks. Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say a thing about cloth masks not doing any good.<\/p>\n
The Vitamin D one from Europe talks about a study of less than 1000 people. And the one from Indonesia went out of its way to make clear that the info was preliminary because, yes, science can change.<\/p>\n
And Trump\/insulin thing? Even a cursory search shows that never even took effect before Biden repealed it.<\/p>\n
I certainly do appreciate the guy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mistrust of big pharma. And I, too, often wonder how Dave Muir’s able to keep his job.<\/p>\n
But even those who know how to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153do their own research\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will only pick & choose the info that supports their position.<\/p>\n

I moved to Puerto Rico, where the infection and the death toll are half of the per capita rate stateside. Everyone wears a mask, vaccine cards are required most places, and in months I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never seen a single bit of drama about it. The only place I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen any disregard for health measures has been in the tourist spots where Americans congregate. Los feos americanos.<\/p>\n

I am going to see Graham Nash perform this evening. Masks are required for this event. Proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test are also required. Thank you, Graham, for your efforts to keep your fans safe. This is only the second concert I have attended since Covid.\u00c2\u00a0 The other was an outdoor concert by the Rolling Stones, who I have tried never to miss since meeting them at West View Park Danceland in Pittsburgh,\u00c2\u00a0 during their first US tour in 1964.<\/p>\n

I’m only slightly immunocompromised but to be safe I wear a KN95 in indoor public places and (mostly) avoid indoor restaurants (and always avoid crowded ones).<\/p>\n
That said, a “95” mask plus crowd avoidance will protect me (or anyone) just fine, and for that reason I don’t agree that masks should still be imposed on the general population, nor do I resent anyone who chooses not to wear one.<\/p>\n

Wake up stop pretending you were ever \u00e2\u20ac\u0153safe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the tv told you to be scared and

Bob, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s endemic. We all had better get used to it and move on living our lives. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s never leaving. My wife is a surgeon and they have stopped testing patients at their hospital in Nashville unless someone says they have symptoms. My wife was back doing surgery 5 days after testing positive in January. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what the hospitals mandated as protocol.<\/p>\n
If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re high-risk, wear a mask and wash your hands. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simple.<\/p>\n
Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be the woman I saw snorting hand sanitizer through her mask at the coffee shop the other day.<\/p>\n

In Spain its still mandatory to wear masks inside, on bus, metro etc… only walking outside is it not required.\u00c2\u00a0 Clearly given the other EU countries having trouble w the new Omni B2 variant they know its coming here. 20,000 a day now. a week ago 10k. but at peak in Jan\/Feb it was over 100k, almost 200.\u00c2\u00a0 And that is with very high Vax rates here.<\/p>\n

Longest damn note I’ve ever read\u00c2\u00a0 and probably the worst!<\/p>\n
I don’t mean to belittle you but some where somehow the stupidity must end.<\/p>\n
I am a old Jarhead,\u00c2\u00a0 USMC Marine, for those timid fellows like you.<\/p>\n
I’ve lost the top lobe of my right lung, from smoking or radiation.\u00c2\u00a0 I saw the last USA nuclear tests and believe me you don’t want to see one. Currently very possible with Biden as President.<\/p>\n
This covid is no worse than the Swine flu several years ago. The difference is with our government not allowing a “crisis ” to go to waste. Obama and company are nailed to the wall on all of this. Anyone associated with Bernadine Dorn is guilty of a multitude of sins.<\/p>\n
You and many like you are guilty of believing anything spit out by these criminals.<\/p>\n
Maybe somewhere down the road you will see the truth and not believe what is being spewed by Biden and those who should be respected leaders. But aren’t!<\/p>\n
Most are truly Traitors but only time will bring this to the forefront!<\/p>\n
Once again I’m only an old Marine speaking in the wilderness!<\/p>\n
You have a good day and enjoy life as it is short and sometimes sweet. Sometimes it is rough!<\/p>\n

But I don’t wanna take anybody down with me…I haven’t seen my mother in two years.. She is 89 years old …. I miss her man.. keep up he good work<\/p>\n
