So tell me again how catching covid gives a victim natural immunity , I like to laugh
Thousands of covid victims re infected with Omicron ,
one serious point is that its about 4 months worth of cover from vaccines . Any damn fool farmer knows that to treat animals with a therapy that has such a low effectiveness sooner or later that effectiveness is lost . The time that was bought with vaccines is being lost certainly for first world nations while Ivermec is being produced for third world countries .
A U.N.-backed agency has struck a deal for nearly 30 generic drugmakers to make low-cost versions of Merck & Co's COVID-19 pill molnupiravir for poorer nations, widening access to a drug seen as a weapon in fighting the pandemic.
The antiviral pill, which in December received emergency approval in the United States, reduces hospitalizations and deaths of high-risk patients by around 30%, according to clinical trial results.
The deal, negotiated by the U.N.-backed Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) with Merck, will expand output by increasing the number of companies that will produce the drug, after Merck entered into licensing agreements with eight Indian drugmakers in October.

I wonder at the intelligence of people who claim Ivermec does not work . What would somebodys motive be to say such a thing .

Japanese Doctor on Fitness
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste time on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart saying you extend life of a car by driving faster. Want to live longer? - Take nap.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Fruit very good. Brandy distilled wine, that means they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Grain good too. - Bottoms up!
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program
A: Can't think of one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...very good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How can getting more vegetable be bad?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around.
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me.
Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is also a shape!
Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
Finally, the Japanese Doctor summed up: Look mister, Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride my life was"!!!!!
Eat whatever you like because you will still DIE, don't allow motivational speakers deceive you.
1. The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54.
2. The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57.
3. The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41.
4. The best footballer in the world Maradona died at the age of 60.
BUT
5. The KFC inventor died at 94.
6. Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88.
7. Imagine, cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102.
8. The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 in an earthquake.
9. Hennessey Cognac inventor died at 98.
How did these doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?The rabbit is always jumping up and down but it lives for only 2 years and the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all, lives 400 years.So, take some rest, Chill, stay cool, eat, drink, and enjoy your life.

I got dilated today...
Eye exam. Originally scheduled for last year, pushed back as the doctor decided to take a holiday vacation. No cataracts, no signs of glaucoma. The blurred vision is because my left eye is weaker than the right and my standard glasses need to be changed.
I left the office with disposable sunglasses as blurred vision was at maximum. Good thing the vision center was only a mile from my home. I took the day off from work and it was a good thing as I had a splitting headache and couldn't focus for a few hours.
It was dark 7 hours later when I went grocery shopping and bright lights from car headlights had a slight blue 'edge' when I blinked. I'm thinking that was a reaction from the eye drops.
Hopefully, I'll be back in business tomorrow.

It seemed like such a great idea
One night when I was about 8 years old, I had a stuffy nose. I was in bed and my nose was so clogged I had to breathe through my mouth. Suddenly I felt I had to sneeze. Maybe I was a little too influenced by watching so many cartoons on TV that I got the brilliant idea that if I sneeze through my nose, the clog would go flying across the room and splat against the wall. 
So, that's what I did. Unfortunately, my plan didn't work out as expected, instead my nose started bleeding so bad I was soon laying in a pool of blood. I yelled for my mother and she came running into the room and when she saw all the blood she began to go berserk. She was wailing and crying and carrying on like she lost her mind. I quickly realized I would get no help from her. I started to feel a little weak, probably from loss of blood and it dawned on me that I had to stop bleeding real soon or I was going to die. I knew the way mom was carrying on that it was going to be up to me to save my life. I pinched my nose to stop the flow of blood and used the back of my tongue to close off the passage from my nose. I took a deep breath through my mouth and held it as long as possible. I repeated the process several more times until I was able to stop bleeding. I can't remember what happened after that but I think I dozed off to sleep.

How modern life is making men infertile.
"Sperm quality is a good indicator of male fertility but it can also say a lot about men's overall health.
Low sperm count is related to all kinds of morbidities including heart disease, diabetes, reproductive cancers and ultimately length of life.
Abnormal sperm can also cause miscarriages.
If a couple can't get pregnant or if a woman has miscarriage, it's always assumed that it's the woman's fault.
Now we know that it's a shared responsibility and getting the quality of the eggs is much more difficult than for a man to count his sperm or get the quality of his sperm.
The study dispels the myths and stereotypes that often make women the culprits for infertility."

Boosted...
A friend of mine didn't make it out to the flying field last weekend as he said he usually does. His reason was virus. He believes it was a trip to the dentist where he had no mask in an environment with lots of people getting medical attention.
The county COVID testing sites are overwhelmed, but he was able to get a home test from the pharmacy to confirm his thoughts.
Cold-like symptoms, sinus pain and congestion, body aches that lasted about 4 days.
He and his family have been vaccinated and boosted. As soon as he felt sick the masks went on through his household and so far, he's past the contagious stage and no one in his family caught his virus.
Good news.

Most Deaths During The Spanish Flu Were Due To Bacterial Pneumonia
How Many Deaths Attributed To Covid May Be Due To Bacterial Pneumonia?
I.E. People may've Died WITH Covid but FROM Bacterial Pneumonia?
How many lives may've been Saved if Covid patients had been treated with Antibiotics?
But antibiotics weren't Prescribed because Covid is Viral - Not Bacterial?
It also raises the question whether widespread masking is sound Public Health Policy.
All that information was Available WELL Before Covid arrived on the scene.

BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA CAUSED MOST DEATHS IN 1918 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PANDEMIC PLANNING
(Emphasis mine, Mick)
The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.
The work presents complementary lines of evidence from the fields of pathology and history of medicine to support this conclusion. "The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths," says co-author NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. In essence, the VIRUS landed the first blow while BACTERIA delivered the knockout punch."

Summary:
Respiratory infection is much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks compared to medical masks, research shows. Cloth masks should not be used by workers in any healthcare setting, authors of the new study say.
The widespread use of cloth masks by healthcare workers may actually put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections and their global use should be discouraged, according to a UNSW study.

Japan shows the way when it comes to policy surrounding the jab
Elected leaders in other countries should take note! No coercion or punishment around getting jabs, just old fashioned informed consent and respect for individual choice!
How effective really is a mask?
By now, the science is settled: Wearing a mask is the easiest, least intrusive way to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Understanding why isn’t rocket science, but it’s not always intuitive, either. If you—or someone you know, say, a misinformation-spreading Facebook friend—are looking for a handy explainer, try this YouTube video from It’s Okay to Be Smart.
Viruses can be difficult to understand because they’re invisible to the naked eye, traveling inside water droplets on unseen air currents. With a technique called schlieren imaging, though, we can see these air currents, and that’s what It’s Okay to Be Smart uses to demonstrate how masks work.
The science behind schlieren imaging is a little complicated, involving a spherical mirror bending light in subtly different ways to reveal differences in density that would otherwise be invisible. It’s important to note that this doesn’t let us see viruses—they’re too small for that—but it does let us see how air flows when we exhale.
Using a combination of slow motion and schlieren imaging, the video reveals what a cough looks like with and without a mask. The differences are striking. The unmasked cough creates a massive plume of potentially virus-laden air, traveling much farther than you’d expect—about 2 meters, which is why social distancing means staying outside that zone.
A mask does two things: First, it captures much of the droplets expelled when you cough, sneeze, or breathe; second, any that aren’t captured have their momentum blunted, keeping them from traveling very far. That means less chance of infection for people around you. The bottom line is that masks work—and this is a good video showing you exactly why.
It is up to the reader to decide, but this video makes total sense to me.

Do mRNA covid vaccinations permanently change our DNA?
Well the answer to that is NO
It seems some here are addicted to anti-vax hysteria, and the pleasant (to them); resulting melodrama...
Sorry to disappoint the anti-vax brigade on here; but once again, they DO NOT permanently alter our DNA
Oh, and just what happens to those simply dastardly spike proteins? Well, once again; sorry to disappoint you all; but they are not permanent, either
