We’re Doing Science!

“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”

Jackboots coming soon

The German Chancellor has announced that unvaccinated individuals will be excluded from nonessential stores, restaurants and sports and cultural venues. Where have I seen this movie before?

How will the German people know who is unvaccinated and who isn’t? Perhaps they can wear some kind of identifying symbol on their clothing, so that good Germans will know that they are not to be trusted. Might I suggest an oldie but a goodie:

Germans sure are good at breaking out the jackboots.

Coincidence?

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%.

Milestone

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.

List of Essential Meds

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.

Consequences

One week ago, my employer announced that vaccines would be mandatory by November 24. A good number of employees have resigned. It started with non medical staff- the people who work preparing meals, cleaning, etc. A few medical professionals, and not many technical personnel. I don’t yet know why this is so, but the nutrition and environmental services departments are hurting.

Let’s make it worse

The American Ambulance Association warns Congress that the “nation’s EMS system is facing a crippling workforce shortage, a long-term problem that has been building for more than a decade. It threatens to undermine our emergency 9-1-1 infrastructure”

So what are we doing about it? Firing them because they won’t take the jab. Yeah, that will fix everything. While we are at it, let’s do the same to hospital workers. After all, it was just weeks ago that we were complaining the hospitals were overwhelmed, so we can fix that by crippling them.

COVAX firings continue

Officials with the fire department of Orange County, Florida have announced that they are firing one of their Battalion Chiefs because he refused to issue written reprimands to employees that failed to disclose their vaccine status.

In other local fire department news, Osceola county wants to have firefighters, police officers and EMTs to fill in on school bus routes, because the schools don’t have enough bus drivers. This idea is going to be difficult, for the simple fact that none of those workers have a CDL as a part of their job and will first have to get trained and pass the CDL exam.

Additionally, the hourly pay for firefighters, EMTs, and cops is far higher than what they pay school bus drivers. I doubt you will get many volunteers, especially since public safety agencies are busy firing all of their emergency workers.

Vengeance is mine

Another story of a hospital refusing to give a COVID patient Ivermectin, even to the point of watching a patient die, even to the point of defying a court order.

Ivermectin is being called an “alternative treatment.” I don’t see why. What is it an alternative to? There is no treatment for COVID. All the hospital does is supportive care. That is, they administer oxygen and vitamins, then wait to see if you get better. Those who begin to deteriorate are given drugs to maintain their blood pressure. Even if the patient survives at that point, they are likely to lose fingers and toes as a side effect of the blood pressure medication.

I don’t see the harm in giving Ivermectin, especially the ones who are in the final stages. However, there are hospitals all over the country who are refusing, because they would rather play politics than actually save lives.

When we are to the point that medical professionals are actively denying care to patients while watching them die, even to the point that they are defying court orders, then there really is only one remedy.

If my wife were to get sick and the hospital and its staff watched her get sick and die while actively refusing to provide treatment, there would be a list in my pocket of each and every person who killed her. I would then have a close and personal discussion with each of them, so that I could explain to them in unmistakable terms the consequences of this decision.
