Off-label medical treatment is a big no-no

It is the manufacturer's responsibility to show safety and efficacy for claims of intended use, and to get the neccessary approvals from the FDA.

Again, just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm a leftie. It's really amazing to see just how intelligent you aren't, while thinking you're some type of intellectual.

That you would say Republicans are for a free market just shows how deluded you are. Ask a Republican to remove subsidies from the most lucrative business on Earth, oil and gas, and see if they will do it. Why does a highly profitable business need government subsidies?

You're complete lack of objectivity would be hilarious if wasn't so sad.

Off label treatment is both accepted and actually pretty common. I'm an RN and see it all the time at work.

Our rino politicians aren't the average voter.

​​​​​​Im sure you don't support all the "green" subsidies either.

oh, I am acutely aware that off-label use is common and accepted. I am also aware of the associated liabilities.

You are correct, just like I don't support subsidies for rich folks buying Tesla's. What's the next ridiculous statement you want to make and then "walk back?"

I love when people use RINO. Are you just now realizing that Democrats and Republicans have the same donors and the same goals outside of a few social issues? War, less privacy, taxes, etc.

I live in one of the reddest states of the nation. Our representatives constantly rail against more federal taxes, yet we have a 5.25% state income tax. And they never mention that.

I do find it cute that all you can do is attack without providing any substance.

Stimmy checks are for the poors to buy doritos.

So after however many years of covid it's been, we finally had our first confirmed case here at work one week ago, one of the unvaxed kids in the shop. So over half the company has been out this past week "in quarantine", but not me because he didn't walk this way?? Anyway the paid week off I'm not getting doesn't bother me as much as the fact that they canceled Thursday Bagel Breakfast. Damn thing just restarted a month ago and now it's gone again. Thanks Obama Biden.

Has anyone brought up the Spartacus paper or read it (14 pages)?

It's either the scariest accurate SciFi explanation for Covid or it's pure fantasy that contains a lot of accuracy.

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/d...ats-gone-viral

Interesting to learn about how the covid spike has unnatural elements that allow it to secure to cells.
Interesting to learn why people are dying on ventilators because of Oxide packets that create free radicals with introduced oxygen.
Interesting to lean how the vaccines are likely to keep spike protein production up throughout the body.
Interesting to learn how mRNA isn't supposed to alter DNA, but there are several ways it is doing this already.

I contracted for DoS, after Bengazhi, where I worked directly on biometric and other tools to help process third-party nationals and log who is at an embassy at any given time; among other notable projects. There was literally no systems in place beforehand to do so and I'm pretty shocked what happened in Bengazhi didn't happen again. Some of these tools I helped create, prevented known terrorists from getting jobs as janitors (as they do) in our embassies and led directly to their arrests. I also did work on their law enforcement management tool, making it easier to process and share digital forensic evidence used in passport fraud, child trafficking, and child pornography cases and link cases between various field offices leading to increase interoffice/interagency collaboration.

Today I help launch satellites in space to spy on your mom blowing truckers in the back alley.

Tell me more about how ironic it is.

If you can calm down and think for a moment, there is no social obligation in society where I am perceived as more "good" if I comply with what you want me to do and I am proven "bad" if I don't do something you want.

Also, everyone in society has a different level of health, immunity, and mortality. Yes, this virus was built to attack older and weak people in the population. The people that are dying either have current illnesses that they are dying from or they were killed by the medical intervention. But no, it is not my responsibility to take an experimental vaccine to protect a 89yr old person that is dying of lung cancer and heart disease but also got Covid and still died. That is ludicrous. Additionally, if you could think clearly, you'd realize that the unvaccinated are at greater risk from the vaccinated people since vaccinated people still get Covid, still transmit Covid and are still dying of Covid.

If Covid is airborne, then the risk of transmission doesn't stop at 6ft and doesn't stop when you sit down in a restaurant.
If Covid is airborne, then why would you feel safe wearing a surgical paper mask or cloth mask that you can breathe through?
If Covid is airborne, why would you get on a bus, subway, airplane with recirculated air?
If Covid is airborne, you would walk through a cloud of someone else covid breath after you passed them on the street.
Spoiler alert - Covid is airborne. Everything you've been doing is to give up control. nothing you've been forced to do has protected you (including the "vaccine")

Being unvaccinated /= being infected.



For those that care, Africa has a very low/non-existent Covid because the country has been taking Horse Dewormer medication for decades. It's just that they have been referring to it as a malaria anti-parasitic. It's the media that have infected you with idiocracy.

I keep hearing this, but no one seems to want to back it up with anything. Can you please link to anything peer-reviewed that backs up this assertion?

Lots of people agree with restricting harmful foods/substances but then the MuH FrEeDoMs! crowd chimes in... you can only imagine how they'd howl if we started with BMI passports. They screamed bloody murder when they restricted the size of soft drinks.

I'm sick of my taxes paying for others unhealthy lifestyles too. Sugar taxes and Tobacco taxes have served as a "middle ground" of sorts, but those aren't popular either.
