  2. The thing that isn't overblown (yet) is Fauci's mismanagement, greed and corruption.

  4. For knowledgeable scientists out there, shouldn't another problem associated with pandemic prevention is anti bacterial resistance caused by all the anti bacterial hand sanitizers being used non stop around the world? Wouldn't this cause more antibacterial resistant bacteria to form?

  5. Or what about eating better/healthy? How about taking more vitamin D ?

  7. Exactly. A doctor that wasn’t getting the vaccine said to take 5,000 units of vit d … said there is no money in promoting vit d as you can get a bottle of 200 at Walmart for $6
    But it could have saved more lives if that’s what it REALLY was ALL about.
     
  8. I've been on 5000 iu for years.

  9. Everyone in the family started in it after I was told to take it - everyone got covid (non vaccinated) and everyone agreed the regular flu was much worse - whether the vit D helped is unknown but We are still taking it

    I picked these up form Walmart the other day and the kids love them - neighbor kids who hate vitamins ask for these - they are that good.

  10. I’ve had it twice and it wasn’t as bad as some colds I’ve had n the past.

  11. Your natural immunity will serve you better than all the boosters they can sell.

    My wife has been vaccinated plus the booster.
    I haven't been vaccinated we're both 64.
    The wife got covid and it took weeks for her to recover during that time I also got sick with
    covid .
    The difference was my experience with covid was very mild . I had a little congestion sore throat and a headache in sbout 4 days it was gone.
    The wife's symptoms however were more severe and it took over a month to recover . The only difference between us besides the obvious is I take better care of myself. I work out 4 times a week and eat a more healthier diet and that's it.
    We live beside my wife's parents who are both in their mid 80's. They've both been vaccinated and boostered . During our sickness they both remained healthy as 2 eighty plus year olds can be. Our son and his family also live on the property . His family which consists of a wife and 2 kids remained healthy with the exception of the daughter in law who had been vaccinated and boostered she missed 2 weeks of work.
    I dont know what one would take away from this but in my eyes we had 3 women of various ages from their late 30's to 85 who had been vaccinated plus the boosters out of those 3 two got sick and the oldest didnt.
    The 2 grandkids 1 boy of 5 and his sister of 10 never got sick and weren't vaccinated.
    The 3 men who's ages range from 42 to 86 I'm the only one who caught covid and I would compare my sickness to a bad cold . Before covid we all would eat together as a group and visit with each other routinely . we lived a isolated life the the exception of the 2 kids and the daughter in law and son. The kids had school and the daughter in law and son both worked. Ultimately what I saw was that 2 people both women got sick from covid and they both had been vaccinated and both had their boosters.
    The only other person who got sick was me and as I said earlier my sickness was no worse than a cold and I never got vaccinated !
    That's Been my family's experience with covid take from it what you will !

  13. I've made that same argument. Problem is, govts still profit from tobacco sales, even in countries that have a universal health care system.

    As for overblown? You bet your ass it was. For months Canadians weren't even allowed to visit their own families because of "Covid", and yet our govt were only to happy to brag about breaking Canada's immigration record over the same period. Think about that for a moment, I was prohibited from getting in my car and going to visit family in Manitoba while the govt was importing over 1100 immigrants per day on average.

  14. It's already happening. We're being prepped to enjoy and accept the wonders and joie de vive of socialism/communism where everything is in short supply (except for the elite of course) and govts tell you how much of something you're allowed to have, if any.

  15. This next wave that’s in the UK and China will be interesting to see how it gets spun when it gets to the USA
     
  16. All the spinning will end up with everyone needing another jab while Big Pharma makes more money.

  17. I think COVID is underblown, primarily because many of those who get COVID develop long COVID. Recent studies of COVID survivors in the United States estimate that approximately 20 percent suffer from long COVID, while some studies place the number as high as 43 percent.

    Long COVID is a condition characterized by long-term consequences persisting or appearing after the typical convalescence period of COVID-19. It is also known as post-COVID-19 syndrome, post-COVID-19 condition,[1][2] post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), or chronic COVID syndrome (CCS).[3][4][5] Long COVID can affect nearly every organ system, with sequelae including respiratory system disorders, nervous system and neurocognitive disorders, mental health disorders, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, musculoskeletal pain, and anemia.[6] A wide range of symptoms are commonly reported, including fatigue, malaise, headaches, shortness of breath, anosmia (loss of smell), parosmia (distorted smell), muscle weakness, low fever and cognitive dysfunction

  18. I'm also concerned because recent mutations, particularly BA.5 which is now the dominant strain in the U.S., is able to evade much of the population's nature and acquired immunity to COVID. So even if you've had COVID or are double boostered (like me), you may still get it, and may develop long COVID.
