    New information indicates that getting vaccines and boosters in the same arm is more effective than getting them in different arms.

    Left or right arm: Choosing where to get vaccinated matters, study suggests. Here's why

    I’ve read that applying unicorn repellent from left to right makes all the difference.

    It makes sense as to why some 3rd world countries (where parasitic infections in humans are more common) had promising numbers.

    The ivermectin clears a comorbidity. When studied in 1st world countries where such parasitic infections are far less common, the results weren’t there in the same way.

    If only healthcare had taken comorbidities into account, perhaps tens or scores of thousands would still be alive today.

    I have him blocked after he was dismissive of my accounts of friends and coworkers who passed from covid including my fathers month long stay in the ICU but I wonder how the "viruses aren't real guy" would explain how all 4 on my engine company came down with covid last shift...

    I was going to ask what brought you out of your hole. Now that you’re here, the difference between you and me is that I don’t diminish deaths due to actual age-old causes …

    Work with me. The point of the meme is the canonization of people who died of ‘Covid.’ In the Bible Jesus is typically portrayed as sitting at the right hand of the Father. In 2020-21 it’s as if he was brought to his feet to honor those who died of computer printout.

    You seem to hear me well enough from your burrow. And I don’t claim to know everything. Ex: I can’t for the life of me fold fitted sheets.

    Big Pharma can’t wait for your arm in a month lol.

    Such ridiculous conjecture that ignores the reality we know now. Propaganda is such a powerful thing!

    One day you will get there. And actually start diving into Big Pharma and what has happened!

    FANTASTIC!

    One of the frustrating things about Covid was how so many doctors who knew masking was nothing but a virtue signal…remained quiet. Doing something just to do something in medicine is how you harm people. And they knew that. A few stood up to it. But not enough. Now everyone knows how stupid they looked wearing them…

    Depending on the person: facial boundary markers or face-mounted anxiety placebos.

    Well crap, I have been feeling pretty good for the last couple of weeks and went to my Primary Dr for a follow up on the 2 hospital stays and was turned away because I still test Positive. My lungs are clear (at least for a 50 year smoker with COPD) my sinuses are clear, no fever, still have a little shortness of breath but I'm sure that is from the congestive heart failure. Can't believe I have been running around spreading COVID for that last week or so.

    Rescheduled for next Friday.

    I absolve you from being a deadly disease vector.
