Thanks for waiting! My assessment that hydroxychloroquine is on average ineffective at treating or preventing Covid is based on well-conducted published clinical trials. It pains me to see see folks go so far out of their way to embrace absurd conspiracy theories rather than take the most parsimonious steps to protect themselves and loved ones (vaccination and masking when appropriate). Showers keep me squeaky clean but when it comes to your wife’s presumed lack of infection, perhaps the precautions she’s taken (masking) or your hiatus in the woods when you learned you had Covid helped minimize her exposure risk. There are also some paradoxical effects of having a suppressed immune system and getting Covid. Perhaps your wife did have Covid and was a symptomatic. Those antibody tests were terrible in the early days. Not sure how much better they are today. Or perhaps her meds helped although the evidence largely points agains that. I won’t comment any further on your wife other than to say that I’m glad she’s doing well and relieved that the CDC death sentence has proven to be wrong. Btw, how does the CDC state that someone should be dead? Does official notice arrive by mail?

Lmao! If you want some ivermectin Chewy has a surplus. I believe it sells under brand name HeartGard. Get your fill!

Ask your brother about the lupus patients that went without hydroxychloquine because a bunch of idiots were ineffectively using it for Covid.

You killed 3 caribous last year?

Nice truck! Does the “power wagon” text peel off?

Yeah, impact factor isn’t everything but many of the virally shared ivermectin stuff is published in pay-for-play journals or haven’t been peer reviewed. Additionally, a lot of these meta reviews lack statistical/scientific rigor and are written by folks with questionable training, experience, or funding. For instance, this review is written in part by consultants and the work (writing, no actual original research) is funded by a strange ivermectin gofundme. None of these aspects are necessarily disqualifying on their own, but certainly this does not exemplify rigorous biomedical research. Again, there’s plenty of well conducted research on the off label use of ivermectin and the clear consensus is that it’s ineffective for Covid. I’d be thrilled to find a worthwhile study that shows the opposite. It’s curious to see the same group of folks here continuously drawn to fringe and highly questionable narratives. Somehow the far right tag line of “question everything” morphs into “embrace the absurd and incredulous.”

Credible? Lol, you clown

It's as if you go out of your way to find disreputable sources. Effectively all but 1 (questionable preprint) study have failed to show that ivermectin is effective. Here's a news article on the matter from a reputable journal. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02081-w

What’s the shift away from? And towards what?

Thanks, very helpful!

I'm going to start doing my own fletching. Why Jojan over Bitzenburger?

Lol, Fox knows its audience…

Cool! No strap yet. Was debating whether to freehand on a stone or use a jig to perfectly match the angle. You like the KME?

Bone single bevel broad heads look really nice too but they’re having problems sharpening them this year…

$36.65… yeah, they’re pricey. The steel seems to be strong enough for reuse

I’ve put about 40lbs of meat through it in 2 runs. Cuts with no struggle. I did have everything very cool. I do find that the base of the auger gets extremely hot to the point that it cooks bits of meat that happen to fall there. I can’t imagine this is acceptable for a new grinder. I freeze the head before running and I clean and lubricate in between the coarse and fine grinds too.

Arrived.

I have single bevel Iron Will broadheads coming my way. I’ll let you know how they spin when they arrive.

This is simply wrong. Read the article I shared. Ed Young is very thorough and you don’t need science training to read his work. Breakthrough cases continue to be rare. Furthermore, even if infected, you’re much more likely to have mild or no symptoms if vaccinated.

Your concern is that the position of the CDC was that the likelihood of transmission from breakthrough infections is extremely low. The current CDC guideline now say that people with breakthrough case are almost as infectious as those who haven’t haven’t been vaccinated. You regard this adjustment as a sign that the CDC has no clue what it’s doing? Did I get it right? The CDC, imperfect as it is, is updating its recommendations based on new evidence. I know you have a history of denying or rejecting fundamental facts. We’ve covered how viruses evolve and immunity wanes repeatedly. The new Delta variant contains multiple mutations that make it much more highly transmissible. Although the odds of being infected continue to be extremely low for the vaccinated, breakthrough infections will manifest with higher viral counts. This makes the virus much more inflections, even in the vaccinated. Here’s a short blurb by Ed Young. Hope it helps: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/daily/

Bill Gates was also pretty brazenly singled out…

You mean a macaroon? What’s troubling you? The post you’re quoting is perhaps uncharitable. But the dumbest post of the day goes to Jeremy K (I’m still holding out hope that it was just an extremely irresponsible troll). It’s become a pandemic of the unvaccinated because the people being hospitalized and dying are overwhelmingly unvaccinated.

Is this what the kids call trolling? You can’t possibly be serious.

Last week of September. Assuming I can cross the border.
