COVID is tricky - it's being mild just to fool us.

America is full of disgusting, morbidly obese, lazy people.
Eating healthy, ample sleep, stress mitigation, and exercising are easy to do and rarely implemented.
Pill popping fatties die more often.

Glad I would never have to sit next to this guy on a plane...one of the many reasons I no longer fly.

You don’t think Vitamin D is a big risk factor?

But the fake vaccine killed more people than the Fauci Flu did. And you have assholes like me that didn’t get the jab and will never get the jab for something I have been immune to since late 1969 when I almost died from the Hong Kong Flu.

I have just about ZERO faith in the Medical Community as a result of this scamdemic.

“””healthcare professionals, who seem hesitant to prescribe the most effective outpatient treatment for COVID — nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) —””””


Is Paxlovid really that effective? It seems I have read previous threads stating that Paxlovid is not effective.

But, as a former physician, I also know that physicians are free to prescribe medications "off-label,"...

Unless they are for covid. See Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine during the "pandemic".

Paxlovid seems to cause rebound infections. It does not seem effective at all; just another reformulated drug so big pharma can slap an expensive price tag on it and make fat money

Paxlovid is not successful for treating Covid- it actually makes you more likely to relapse.

There have always been effective treatments for Covid. Dr. Zelenko and Dr. McCullough, Dr. Kory and others were treating patients successfully long before Covid ‘vaccines’ were forced on the public.

The medical regime pretends there are no effective treatments in order to frighten people into getting the toxic ‘vax’ but initially they lied and said there were no treatments because that was a condition (no other treatments available) they needed to issue an EUA on the toxic covid ‘vaccines.’

They also wildly exaggerated Covid deaths at the same time the annual flu just magically disappeared that year. It’s all a hoax and a scam.

Beware Pfizer’s New Antiviral COVID Treatment Drug Paxlovid

NOQ Report ^ | 12/30/2021 | Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn
The pro-drug industry mainstream media are insanely positive over the newly FDA-approved Pfizer antiviral COVID treatment pills. The drug, Paxlovid, received an emergency use authorization by FDA for use in patients 12 years old and up who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are at high risk.Now is the time to speak truth about Paxlovid. First, everyone should appreciate that there was very little testing of the short- and long-term safety of this product, exactly what happened with COVID vaccines. Really good testing of a new drug should take many months or even years.Does the public really want to take...
 
 
PAXLOVID and Molnupiravir: Avoid

Steve Kirsch's Newsletter ^ | December 23, 2021 | Steve Kirsch
How good is the FDA at EUA approval for COVID drugs? Well, so far, to be honest, pretty shitty. The first three Covid drugs approved under EUA were Remdesivir, Baricitinib, and Tofacitinib. All were EUA approved for inpatient use (in hospital) only, demonstrate dismal effectiveness and are replete with black box warnings and side effects such as organ failure, blood clots, serious infections and malignancy. PAXLOVID PAXLOVID was recently approved by the FDA without any external meetings or disclosure. There was no opportunity for public input. Essentially all done behind closed doors. Dr. Ryan Cole on the drug’s mechanism of...

People who took Pfizer’s COVID pill Paxlovid, reported that following the five-day treatment period, they would begin testing positive for Covid again and it has as a result failed in clinical trials.Paxlovid has been hailed as one of the gold standard Covid treatments in the United States, with President Joe Biden mentioning it at this year’s State of the Union speech.However, some people who took the drug to treat the virus have reported an unusual occurrence.The Pfizer-developed medicine is thought to be highly effective at averting hospitalization or death in people who have already been infected with the virus, but...
Study suggests Covid rebound is far more common with Paxlovid than without

Asmall and preliminary study published Monday seems to indicate that patients receiving the drug Paxlovid are far more likely to experience Covid rebound than those who did not take it. That conclusion runs counter to previous statements by Pfizer, which makes Paxlovid, and by researchers at the Food and Drug Administration who have argued that while it is not uncommon for people with Covid to have symptoms reemerge after they seem to have recovered, it is not clear that Paxlovid increases the risk of this occurring.

Same here. The HK flu attacked all ages and was way more deadly than this Covid virus.

That's what your former peers thought until they tried prescribing Ivermectin.

I think vitamin D blood levels is a factor.
My post is an oversimplification. The main thing is daily preventative care more so than medication for illness.
In the evening I have a magnesium drink I have with D3/K2.
I walk, hike, or sprint outside most days.
I do more than is necessary for health.
People should apply the Pareto principle to their health.

Is there anything you actually agree with in this author’s writing?

He sounds like a first-class loon, to me. So, for me the answer is No, I don’t expect Paxlovid to be the panacea he claims it is. Paxlovid will suspend the advance of a virus while you’re on it, but you are still going to need an immune system to get rid of it. At least, that is my understanding.

Something very strange, in my opinion, has occurred during this Covid hysteria. Never has America had so many immuno-compromised or immuno-suppressed people walking the streets as it does, today. They may be organ transplant recipients, or people with AIDS or others, but they have little, if any, functioning immune systems. There seems to be something very wrong in expecting vaccinations or medications to work the same with these people as they do with the general population. Medical “experts” seem oblivious to this.

I agree with him letting his medical license expire. That was the right decision.

He whined about people not wearing masks. I guess he was one of the very few who were. Isn’t he vaxxed? Maybe he should try that Bubble Boy apparatus.

The segment of the American public who is still sensate has lost trust in a government that long ago abandoned its obligation to govern under the dictates of the Constitution. I will never trust another ‘vaccine’ again.

The damage done by government about Covid will last a long time.
Not just in medical terms, but trust in other areas.
