Reading that article "aerosolized particles can hang around indoors for hours...". I'm going to need them to source that. Most data for aerosolized particles leaving your lungs - the water evaporates within a second (if that), and if it takes longer than a second, it'd be on the floor due to gravity. What they're HOPEFULLY trying to say is that the particle survives and hangs out airborne indoors (away from UV) for hours... which makes any/ALL masks useless (unless you're utilizing something like a properly fit tested respirator with organic vapor cartridges) - as the average size of a coronavirus is........ <1 micron.

Add to that... if you could get a cold ("thank goodness it wasn't COVID") while using all this PPE, what makes you think you wouldn't get COVID? #samesize.

Moderate / High risk patients

  • Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day for 7 days
  • Vitamin D3 10000iu once a day for 7 days or 50000iu once a day for 1-2 days
  • Azithromycin 500mg 1 time a day for 5 days or
  • Doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day for 7 days
  • Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 2 times a day for 5-7 days and/or
  • Ivermectin 0.4-0.5mg/kg/day for 5-7 days Either or both HCQ and IVM can be used, and if one only, the second agent may be added after about 2 days of treatment if obvious recovery has not yet been observed etc.
Treatment Options
  • Dexamethasone 6-12mg 1 time a day for 7 days or
  • Prednisone 20mg twice a day for 7 days, taper as needed
  • Budesonide 1mg/2cc solution via nebulizer twice a day for 7 days

  • Colchicine 0.6mg 2-3 times a day for 5-7 days
  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • Home IV fluids and oxygen
NEW, as of 12-31021
Nebulized hydroxychloroquine as 150 mg HCQ in 6 ml (25 mg/ml) of isotonic sterile solution within the first five (5) days of COVID-19 symptoms (“Nebu HCQ”) has resulted in immediate improvement (<1 hour after use) in breathing in COVID-19 infected patients. Nebu HCQ served as a rescue medication with an 80x improvement in time and efficiency when compared to HCQ tablet (400-600 mg per day) combination therapy or Ivermectin combination therapy. No adverse events were reported outside of a bitter taste that quickly subsided.

The protocol used is as follows: 6 ml (25 mg HCQ per ml) per nebulizer session (15 minutes). Two sessions (12 ml total) in the first hour for patients with mild to moderate pulmonary symptoms from COVID-19.

We have our FIRST Covid patient in the house, so I thought I'd share this. So far he's only gotten the vitamins, ibuprofen and a warm saltwater gargle. Covid = low grade cold so far

Dan Gelernter in AG - https://amgreatness.com/2022/01/18/the-****-next-door/

”***** weren’t just ordered to be *****. French collaborators weren’t just ordered to collaborate. Chinese students of the Cultural Revolution weren’t just ordered to murder their teachers in ways too ugly to describe here. These people relished what they did. And such was the purity of their commitment that they were willing to turn against friends and even family. Indeed, destroying something you love for the sake of the Revolution is the highest proof there can be of your personal goodness.

Your Democratic neighbors won’t be ordered to vote for laws that ostracize you from society, steal your property, or send you away to a concentration camp. They will do it burning with pride and even with righteous indignation against you for forcing them to these extremes. They’ve already done it in New Zealand and Australia and Canada—places our schools taught us were identical to America in terms of rights and freedoms.

This is why Americans cling to their guns. It has nothing to do with hunting. It has nothing to do with self-defense against the common criminal. We cling to our guns so that, when our neighbors show up and say, “We’re going to take you to the camps now, because you’re a danger to society,” we can look back at them and say, “Like hell you will.”

IVERMECTIN WORKS--PEER REVIEWED STUDY WITH 150K PEOPLE

"The results showed a 6.6 percent infection rate for non-users of ivermectin, and a 3.7 percent infection rate for regular users of the drug, a 44 percent reduction in the COVID-19 infection rate.

There was also a 56 percent reduction in the hospitalization rate for ivermectin users (44 versus 99 hospitalizations).

The most striking result was the difference in the mortality rate. Of the subjects who were infected, those who regularly used ivermectin had a 70 percent reduction in COVID-19 mortality.

The study is just one of dozens that shows ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID. Dr. Kory, one of the drugs biggest advocates expressed frustration with the medical establishment’s refusal to approve early treatments for people suffering with COVID.

“People are dying because they’re being deprived of highly effective, cheap, widely available drugs that do not present as obscene profits to the pharmaceutical companies,” Kory said on Fox News earlier this month."

Joe Rogin's horse dewormer strikes again. If you take these numbers and apply them to deaths just in America, we could possibly have seen a 500K reduction in deaths (614,068). Dr. Fauci and anyone who shouted down the use of Ivermectin and HCQ are the U.S. versions of Joseph Mengele. Tar, feathers, pitchforks.

Here's something which I find interesting, and somewhat perplexing.

By and large, there seems to be a nearly total overlap between the people who criticize "mainstream" vaccination technology on the grounds that it is "only" 50-80% effective in preventing severe illness and hospitalization, and the people who praise a different drug on the basis of one study which shows that it is 56% effective at preventing several illness and hospitalization.

It's almost as though the actual facts are secondary to the political narrative.

I mean, it's not surprising, but it is curious.

Well if you look at Ivermectin and HCQ specifically, they were shown to work early in Covid pandemic. Had they been used widely as therapies the data suggests that millions would have survived. Would you be angry at all over governments who shut down therapies that were proven to work? Would you question the motives of these "health organizations" that threatened physicians with their medical licenses for using drugs that worked?

Separately, if therapies that were proving effective were widely in use, do you think that vaccination mandates and shut-downs would be needed? Would you be personally angry at the top-down mismanagement of a pandemic when there were very clear, simple alternatives that would have saved millions of lives and trillions of dollars?

Are you REALLY surprised, or just not think it through...

One was sold as a safe required-by-law-prophylactic that would end the pandemic because it would stop transmission as well as prevent you from getting the virus as well as preventing severe illness and hospitalization, the other a treatment if you happened to be a horse and needed to be dewormed.

So there's a big difference...

I can't speak for others, but I believe that many of us who criticize the vaccination push for Covid have zero problems with 'traditional' vaccinations. I know I don't.

The problem is when the .gov pushes a single solution as the only acceptable option, when it's arguably not that effective against an illness that isn't all that dangerous (to most); and the vaxx has serious known side effects in the short term, and we have no idea what the long term side effects may be. At the same time, .gov actively persecutes anyone who brings up theraputics that have been shown to be effective in treating the same illness.

Factor in the fact that the vaccine makes pharma gazillions of dollars (mostly supplied by taxpayers), and the theraputics are cheap and generic.... Honestly, I don't understand anyone who doesn't have questions about the "science".

Shouldn't people just be allowed to consult with their own doctor to figure out what's right for them, and choose their own path?

I would counter that there's likely an almost total overlap between the Religion of the Vaxx, and the Religion of MMGW*.

*just to clarify - I do think we contribute to climate issues, but I also think there is reasonable middle ground, and most "green" energy isn't as green as folks would like to believe.
