    I mentioned that I was struggling with allergies and I got, “Oh, you better get tested. Covid’s coming back!” It’s almost like there’s a morbid desire to keep fear alive.

    I thought of several of you just now. The office manager is going around spraying disinfectant in peoples' doorways. Smells nice but don't see it making a difference, lol.

    More "news" that I already knew...


    Ivermectin Worked: New Peer-Reviewed Study Proves It


    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has towed the anti-ivermectin narrative all along, with its infamous tweet reading, "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it."16 While commanding the U.S. public and physicians not to use ivermectin for an off-label use, the irony stands that close to 40% of U.S. prescriptions are for off-label uses.17

    But now, after years of vilification, it had no choice but to admit what’s been right all along — doctors have the authority to prescribe ivermectin for COVID-19. Attorney Jared Kelson of Boyden Gray & Associates, who is representing physicians who have sued the FDA for interfering with their practice of medicine, including relating to ivermectin for COVID-19, explained:18


    The FDA did just that, nonetheless, but finally admitted the truth on August 16, 2023, tweeting, "Health care professionals generally may choose to prescribe an approved human drug for an unapproved use when they judge that the unapproved use is medically appropriate for an individual patient."19

    And here is the real crime with the FDA interference into our individual health care. Interference specifically to deny real heath care but the FDA and the Biden administration, but denying our doctors to prescribe medications for Covid-19.

    In September 2021, the American Medical Association also told doctors to stop prescribing ivermectin for COVID-19. In a statement, AMA, along with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), warned:20

    New Study Suggests This Vilified Drug Is Actually Effective

    The study involved death rates from Covid in Peru, a country in which parasitic infestation is not uncommon. Invermectin most likely reduced the death rate from Covid because persons infected with both the virus and parasites were better able to fight Covid after the parasitic infestation was eliminated. If you could find a link to a study indicating that Invermectin was effective as a Covid treatment in a country in which parasitic infestations are uncommon it would be greatly appreciated.

    Why did Oklahoma close that thread where WDG completely shredded deniers. It was hilarious and a complete own. Best addition to the covid discussion in years.

    I won't comply with another China virus scamdemic just like I didn't comply last time. No masks, no deadly vaccines, no social distancing, and no staying at home for me. Thankfully we don't live in a blue state run by covid nazis, so it won't be a thing here.

    The border was neither completely open nor was it closed either.
    Title 42 has ended. Here's what it did, and how US immigration policy is changing

    He did not shred anything. Just demeaned others based on their profession.

    First author of the study is a former employee of an ivermectin advocacy organization that was allegedly selling an ivermectin cocktail, and published in a journal with a 51% acceptance rate and a two-day turn around for editorial decisions, both which are absurd. This of course doesn't mean the study doesn't have any validity, but given this context, and what you mentioned, and the extremely remarkable findings, it deserves an equally extremely high level of skepticism.

    Should add that Peru also had the worst Covid death rate in the world.
