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.

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 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.

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

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.

I really hope that when I am 83 that I am not trying to make the rest of the world, including prescribing doctors, to be obsessed with the possibility that I might catch something and die. If I am that worried, when I well past my life expectancy, I think I just won’t go tot Costa Rica or wherever.

It has always annoyed me that in a free country I cannot prescribe myself any drugs I decide I might want.

Instead I have to go to my local legal pusher and beg.

Why is the good doctor nervous? He is probably “vaccinated” 20 times over. It is 100% effective we’ve been told

Paxlovid is a scary drug; here’s some prescribing information from the FDA EUA PDF:

https://www.fda.gov/media/155050/download

EUA prescribing PDF has this black box warning:

“• PAXLOVID includes ritonavir, a strong CYP3A inhibitor,
which may lead to greater exposure of certain concomitant
medications, resulting in potentially severe, life threatening, or fatal events. (4, 5.1, 7)

• Prior to prescribing PAXLOVID: 1) Review all medications
taken by the patient to assess potential drug-drug
interactions with a strong CYP3A inhibitor like PAXLOVID
and 2) Determine if concomitant medications require a dose
adjustment, interruption, and/or additional monitoring. (7)

• Consider the benefit of PAXLOVID treatment in reducing
hospitalization and death, and whether the risk of potential
drug-drug interactions for an individual patient can be
appropriately managed. (5.1, 7, 14)”

and then there’s this:

“-———————————————CONTRAINDICATIONS-—————

• History of clinically significant hypersensitivity reactions to the active ingredients (nirmatrelvir or ritonavir) or any other components. (4)

• Co-administration with drugs highly dependent on CYP3A for
clearance and for which elevated concentrations are associated with serious and/or life-threatening reactions. (4, 7.3)

• Co-administration with potent CYP3A inducers where significantly reduced nirmatrelvir or ritonavir plasma concentrations may be associated with the potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance. “

and then the FDA puts this burden on prescribers:

“You or your designee must report all SERIOUS ADVERSE
EVENTS or MEDICATION ERRORS potentially related to PAXLOVID (1) by submitting FDA Form 3500 online, (2) by downloading this form and then submitting by mail or fax, or (3) contacting the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 to request this form. Please also provide a copy of this form to Pfizer Inc. at fax number: 1-866-635-8337. (6.4) “

[me: since the majority of medications metabolize via the set of CYPA hepatic enzymes, the potential for dangerous and even fatal drug interactions with Paxlovid is enormous ... we elderly are particularly vulnerable to this situation because so many of us have to take multiple medications to stay alive ... folks, even the FDA views Paxlovid as a very dangerous drug ...]

Unlike heart disease and cancer, we have a vaccine that can greatly reduce the likelihood of death from COVID.

That sounds an awful lot like an ad. /s
