left field Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Covid outbreak at a nursing home. Quite a contrast to last year. https://www.cantonrep.com/story/news/2021/08/14/delta-outbreak-canton-christian-home-shows-vaccines-power-limits/5460364001/ Quote “At first we were kind of surprised that so many were positive, but then when we stepped back and realized the symptoms were so minor,” Boyos said. “It just kind of appears like they’ve got a little head cold, they’re a little tired, they’re a little fatigued and that’s the extent of the symptoms.” Thanks, vaccines!

I'm not against regeneron - though at 3K a dose for a mild response, someone is getting very rich. And I'm a big fan of generics which my doctor is happy to prescribe. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the "non-FDA approved" argument that many have been making for a year now. Even at $3000 a dose regeneron looks promising and looks like it would have saved trillions. If Trump was as bad as msn stated and close to being put on a ventilator and it cured a over weight older person in days it should have had more studies and trials done earlier. if only the 103,363 serious/critical cases needed it would have been only $310,089,000 for a single dose looks like trials are double dose so $620 million If everyone with a positive case needed it 37,364,700 it would have been $112,094,100,000 for a single dose looks like trials are double dose so $224 billion https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-monoclonal-antibodies-treatment-covid-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though all of these meds can be written as a scrip and taken at home? Either they are yanking your chain or are in severe violation of their Hippocratic oath. At a minimum they should be ashamed of themselves and if it’s true it worked and they stopped they should have their license revoked.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Go ask your doctor to see if they'll write you a script for any type of med's mentioned here ? Try Stromectol, the brand name of ivermectin. Ask them to even search for those meds on their office computer and you'll see why their not prescribing the meds. They get red flagged, as what happened to my friend who's a dentist Dr, after he heard about the preventative use of these drugs. The same thing that happens when they prescribe Oxy or other type of flagged drugs. Their getting in trouble even while researching for an "alternative" route. .Gov and big pharma don't like that and their watching. Reminds me of the KGB, how sad.

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? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
