A More Recent Study on Masks

Doctors never had a problem prescribing medications "off-label"

Until last year...

And I'd say the big reason for this is because today they are incentivized by both the carrot and stick approach to go along the conventional wisdom.

Ralph, all the best thoughts for your wife. And you!

Video calls with 3 different Docs (primary-her hormone specialist-Doc who gave us script for ivermectin) she is on day 5 of symptoms, no more fever since day 2 (taking ibuprofen). Lungs are clearing (never really bad) only symptom left is fatigue. So far so good.

Thanks for the update and the good news. Sounds like she was able to duck
the main thrust.

Thanks guys!

She is pretty much back to her old self. Still a little weak. Looks like it lasted about 5-6 days. She rallied on day 3 but I think she over did things on that day and slipped back a little. That’s her nature.

Still under quarantine until Wednesday morning. I have no symptoms so far. Cross your fingers.

I have several employees who have it.

Man, there’s a joke in there…….but I’ll pass……

We binged all 4 seasons of Yellowstone over 3 days…….

Enjoyed that…….

LOVE Yellowstone!
I binged the first 3 seasons right up to the start of the 4th.

1883 looks like it might be good, too.

We have binged what little there is of 1883 also………it’s ok.

Sam Elliott is playing a part that appears to be written for him. He is great.

I hate the casting of Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill, but I can see past it so far

The guy playing Rip steals the show.

Hoping for the best, and I'm sure she'll come thru.

RE fatigue... keep an eye on that. The first time I caught it, it put me down pretty good. Not much fever but I had no energy and I still have days where it's a struggle. Reason I mention it, I know others in the same boat as me. A real change in energy level some days

Keep an eye on it and let your doc(s) in on what's happening going fwd

Great to hear, Ralph. Best wishes for your employees.

Health ‘Experts’ Finally Admit Masks Control People, Not Viruses

We’ve been censored. Hollered at by Karens in the grocery store and sometimes even outdoors. We’ve been lectured, demonized, scoffed at, and called murderers and rubes — all for the sin of ignoring mask security theater and daring to show the lower half of our faces in public.

That’s why it’s just remarkable to hear the experts now admit that the same face coverings required in so many establishments and localities are not stopping any virus from spreading.

CNN medical analyst Leana Wen, who was previously president of abortion giant Planned Parenthood, said so on the network — and not only in reference to the current variant, as if new data has suddenly justified a change in guidance. She explicitly said cloth masks haven’t been effective since the dawn of the Wuhan virus.

“Cloth masks are not appropriate for this pandemic. It’s not appropriate for omicron, it was not appropriate for delta, alpha, or any of the previous variants either, because we’re dealing with something that’s airborne,” Wen said. (emphasis mine)

Some of us figured all this out from the very beginning.

Absolutely, boxcar. And a bunch didn't. I am sure we will hear from some of them here shortly...burying a fellow Liberal because they contradicted the
A G E N D A.

I wonder if Mz. Wen will get cancelled.
