COVID

A birthday party for a 60 year old man in the UK was a superspreader event for the Omicron variant of COVID. Fifteen of the eighteen attendees were tested positive for COVID, with every one of them being fully vaccinated, and most having already received booster shots. This, in my mind, is sold evidence that the vaccine doesn’t do a thing.

It seems that, with all of the breathless panic over this Omicron variant, we should keep in mind that its most common symptoms are a cough, fatigue, and a runny nose. Now the powers that be keep saying that the vaccine wards off serious symptoms, but the only person in the US who has been hospitalized with this variant was fully vaccinated, so there is that.

Of the first 43 people in the US with this variant:

• 40 were symptomatic.
• 34 were fully vaccinated.
• 25 were under the age of 40.
• 14 had traveled internationally in the past two weeks.
• 14 received boosters.
• 6 had shortness of breath.
• 6 had previously had a coronavirus infection.
• 3 lost their sense of taste or smell.
• 1 was hospitalized (for two days). The one hospitalized was vaccinated.
• 33 had a cough
• 24 complained of fatigue
• 22 had a runny nose

So we are in a panic over an illness that we used to refer to as a “chest cold.” That was before we began testing everyone. This is just stupid.

Meanwhile, the liberal press in South Florida is demanding that DeSantis restore the COVID lockdown.

Pfizer and BioNTech say their vaccine booster provides a high level of protection against omicron variant. Since the vaccine is, according to all the data, not preventing anyone from getting or spreading COVID, and all that it is purported to do is possibly lessen the severity of the symptoms, it begs the question:

Uh, what does that matter? COVID itself has an overall survival rate of 98.4%, and the omicron variant, according to the CDC, “the disease is mild” in almost all of the cases seen so far, with reported symptoms mainly cough, congestion and fatigue. The side effects of the vaccine are worse than the symptoms of the omicron variant.

Imagine receiving discipline from an employer that you don’t even work for, and haven’t worked for in over a year and a half. That is what happened to John Franklin III.

There is a huge controversy with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Specifically, that three players have been suspended after being accused of misrepresenting receiving the vaccine. In full disclosure, I don’t even watch football, but this story is too ridiculous not to mention. You have to dig a bit, but the story of the third player is the one that is most ridiculous.

John Franklin last played in an NFL game during the fall of 2019, when he was injured. He spent the remainder of that season, and all of the 2020 season, on the injured reserve. He was cut from the team in August, and is no longer an NFL player. In other words, by the time COVID existed, he had no longer played or been around any NFL players. He doesn’t even work for, nor is he affiliated with, any NFL team.

He is being suspended, even though he doesn’t work for any NFL team. Read the quote:

Free agent John Franklin III, if signed by a club, is also ineligible to play in the next three games.

National Football Association

OK, I know it’s the NFL, but let’s put that aside. We have reached a point in this country where a business is reaching out and punishing people for violating company policies when those people don’t even work for them.

“I know that employee doesn’t work here, because we fired him, but we have policies in place, and those policies were violated. So we are gonna say that, should he ever be rehired, we are going to suspend him without pay for a quarter of the year. Because reasons.”

“Sir, someone who has COVID took a dump yesterday.” What a waste of time, money, and resources, developing a test to find COVID variants in sewage.

This is what government does- they spend taxpayer money on stupid ideas that help no one. All this test will do is tell you that someone who has COVID pinched off a loaf recently.

This post makes me laugh, because I get to use euphemisms for defecation, like saying “Dropping a Deuce,” or “Taking the Browns to the Superbowl” or “Dropping the Cosby Kids off at the Pool.” Biden even gave me a great idea for a new one: “Taking a visit to the Vatican”

A new COVID variant appears on the scene, and in a strange coincidence, the most effective treatment is found to be ineffective, while the Moderna vaccine is touted as being MORE effective on this variant.

So Moderna stock goes up by 12%, while Regeneron goes down by 3%.

At the hospital where I work, for the first time since April of 2020, there are exactly zero COVID patients. Zip. Nada. Not one.

Someone congratulate Governor Desantis. Let me know how New York and California are doing, seeing as how they have mandatory vaccination, mask mandates, and other draconian measures in place.

Terry Bradshaw says:

I understand ‘immunized.’ What you were doing was taking stuff that would keep you from getting COVID-19. You got COVID-19. Ivermectin is a cattle dewormer. Sorry, folks, that’s what it is.

The World Health Organization releases a list of essential medicines every two years. I am linking to the current one (2021) here. In fact, I am placing the WHO list on my page of training materials. This is a list of medications that the WHO considers to be essential for the treatment of human diseases and disorders. This is how the WHO describes the list:

The core list presents a list of minimum medicine needs for a basic health-care system, listing the most efficacious, safe and cost–effective medicines for priority conditions. Priority conditions are selected on the basis of current and estimated future public health relevance, and potential for safe and cost-effective treatment

Ivermectin is on that list (pages 6 and 24). So is hydroxychloroquine (page 55).

The reason that Ivermectin is being mocked as being a horse dewormer is the government of this nation is actively trying to prevent people from using it as a treatment for COVID to the point that any doctor prescribing it is at risk of losing his livelihood. It isn’t just Ivermectin. The Biden administration is using the power of government in cutting off other medications as well.

For this reason, people are being forced to turn to veterinary sources for medication to treat COVID.

Terry Bradshaw, who is just a stupid jock, needs to stay in his lane.
