So, let's recap: Ivermectin is a wonder drug for parasitic infections; it's an unappreciated and unproven medicine for both the prevention and therapy of COVID; it is also a tasty desert topping and an excellent floor polish.
But the vaccines, which reduce the incidents of death with those having complicated factors, are a sham, a fraud, very fishy.
Why don't you anti-vax retards just kill yourselves and save us all the trauma of going through it? Your local hospital system approves this message.
Please explain the mental gymnastics you put yourself through to quantify and assess the long term risks associated with any of the available Covid vaccines. There is no data on long term risks. Not yet.
You’ve called me an anti-vaxxer more than once. Does that mean I didn’t really get the vaccine? Damn. Drove all that way to make my appointment for nothing.
I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I’m anti-mandatory vaccine using an experimental vaccine with limited shelf life. And no provisions for granting a waiver for natural immunity due to previous infection. I believe every individual should be able to make up their own mind. Right wrong or indifferent.
2 years into this and the government still hasn’t issued formal common sense guidelines for prophylactic measures which could greatly reduce the risk of hospitalization/death. Lose weight. Exercise daily. Take vitamin C, D, zinc, magnesium. Add in others that hold promise as immune system boosters. Turkey tail and agarikon mushrooms. Quercetin.
You beat your chest about unvaccinated overloading existing hospital capacity. We have had 2 fucking years to expand ICU capacity. We built dozens of field hospitals across the country to accommodate the sick. All the government has done is dismantle those perfectly adequate field hospitals and refuse to expand existing ICU space. And to top it off, let’s fire healthcare workers that refuse to get the vaccine. These same people that have been risking their lives and their family’s lives by treating the sick for 2 years. Many, in fact most, of whom have already contracted Covid at least once, are now considered unclean and anti-vaxxers. So today we have staffing shortages in many hospitals. These same unvaccinated frontline health care workers that were being lauded for showing up day after day.
I wasn’t going to get vaccinated. I looked at my individual situation. I’m not going to have any more kids. Not worried about passing on some future genetic malady caused by an experimental vaccine. I was one of the lab rats that had to take the Swine Flu vaccine back in 1976. Got sick as a dog and missed several days of work. Got sick the next several years every time I was required to get a flu shot. Haven’t had a flu shot since I got out of the Air Force. When the vaccines were made available it started occupying too much time and space inside my head as to whether or not I should get one. After several months of watching real world results of each of the 3 vaccines available in the US, I made my decision. If I had contracted Covid prior to getting the vaccine, I would not have gotten it. If I was of child bearing age and had plans for children I probably would not have gotten one voluntarily.
So months after getting the vaccine I contract Covid. What’s a person to do? Can’t run down and take the other vaccines just because the vaccine I happened to choose isn’t really effective at preventing Covid infection. WHAT?
The government TOLD me the vaccinated wouldn’t get or transmit the virus. So it’s time to seek treatment. Luckily I live in Texas. Doctors here are pretty much free to prescribe medications off-label. Getting a pharmacy to fill the prescription isn’t always easy, but so far so good. Monoclonal antibodies are available but in limited supply and the fact that I tested positive at 1pm on Christmas Eve kind of complicated the situation. Knowing that if ivermectin was going to have the best chance of working if taken early, I chose to go that route. Within 6 hours my symptoms stopped getting worse and I had noticeable improvement.
I very well may have kicked it on my own without ivermectin. I had been vaccinated. I’m on the low end of BMI so obesity is not a concern. I have been on a daily regimen of immune system builders since March of 202. We’ll never know. I do firmly believe that ivermectin stopped Covid in its tracks for me. I had felt something coming on sometime on Thursday. I couldn’t find an at home test so I picked up an O2meter. It was 98. By noon on Christmas Eve I was starting to get pretty sick and tracked down a test kit. My O2 had dropped down to 90-92. After testing positive, and having discussions with my medical professionals, I chose to start ivermectin instead of going to a crowded ER on Christmas Eve on the outside chance I could find some monoclonal antibodies. In 5-6 hours my symptoms stopped getting worse. I slept pretty good that night but bronchitis in one lung kept troubling me when I would cough. By 9am on Christmas morning I was feeling pretty good. The flu-like achy feeling throughout my body was gone. By 36 hours I knew I had made the right decisions along the way. And by that, I mean all of the decisions. Losing weight and getting back in shape. Getting vaccinated when I did with the vaccine I chose. Building my immune system. And taking ivermectin tablets. Not squatter paste. Ivermectin tablets that doctors in Texas can freely prescribe. Although I now have several tubes of both unflavored and apple flavored paste available which I won’t need to keep carrying with me when I travel.
p.s. it’s only tasty as a dessert topping if you can find the apple flavored paste.
