If they use all those oxygen machines to take all the oxygen out of the air for hospital use won’t that cause a shortage of 02 in the atmosphere? There will be nothing left to breathe except cow farts.

Curious minds want to know.

What is the main reason Americans of India ethnicity have the highest average incomes compared to any other ethnic group, including US born whites?

Thank you for stating this and providing a source. The western media, probably at the request of the Chinese bugmen, is trying to scare us all back into lockdowns.

India was supplying those ‘therapeutics’ because they had nothing else. They were a stopgap until they could vaccinate. As suspected, these ‘therapeutics’ are a false hope that are only effective in the minds of the anti-vaxxer cultists.

RE: I want to know how this plays into the ivermectin narrative.

Perhaps, this particular thread showing the Tweet from an Indian doctor explaining their situation can put things in perspective:

I am not an anti-vaxxer, but I'm not getting the covid vaccine. The adverse reactions are being suppressed. So, it may be a 0.1% of a bad reaction - but it needs to be compared to actually getting COVID too. Something just isn't right with a vaccine process that makes you feel like crap for 2 weeks. What is your body reacting too? Your healthy cells literally become the petri dish for the spike proteins. What if a "clump of vaccine" goes to your brain cells? or nervous system?

I’ve talked to many who’ve had COVID and they say having COVID is much worse than the reaction to the shots. Don’t let the anti-vaxxers scare you.

RushingWater, God willing maybe the vaccines will improve? I think the problem right now is the “one size fits all” mentality. Each body is different. Male/Female. Young/Old. And depending on your pre-existing conditions, one format (mRNA) or company’s approach may be better than another technology. (Adenoviral Vector)

Some countries like UK/Canada allow up to a 4 month gap between the two dose shots. Ours sticks with 3-4 weeks! The initial clinical didn’t have the space and time to wait and see if waiting longer is better. Or how far even just one dose can go.

They also erred on the side of effectiveness as opposed to moderation. Moderna’s vaccine fills up 100mg of vial! But they had been experimenting with less. Who’s to say some of the extraneous ingredients are wreaking unnecessary havoc on more sensitive bodies?

It’s up to us though to do our own digging and monitor the research in real time. I recommend as best you can to rely on international publications and forums. Not just US-based. The debate is too polarized and politicized here.

I wonder what kind of moron takes a vaccine for a virus they’ve already survived and have the antibodies? I will say 80% of the people I know who’ve taken the vaccine have had an adverse reaction. To include my Mom who still isn’t right over one month later. She regrets it and will not take a booster.

I would also like to see the link from your previous post that discredits the use of HQC and Ivermectin. It wasn’t long ago that India was seeing a tremendous drop in cases dispensing those protocols over the counter and the surge appears to have started when the vaccine became more widely available.

Just spoke to an individual who had the COVID in November and received the vaccine in March who said the COVID was much worse than the vaccine. I haven’t met a single person reporting a reaction more serious than the reactions normally associated with vaccines, ie, soreness, a few days of tiredness, mild fever, etc.

I had my first dose of Pfizer two weeks following surgery where I spent almost eight hours on the operating table. I was only mildly fatigued for a couple of days. Of course, that could have been the vaccine or it could have been the surgery.

Then there is this:

“If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine?”

“Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again. Learn more about why getting vaccinated is a safer way to build protection than getting infected.”

“If you were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure what treatments you received or if you have more questions about getting a COVID-19 vaccine.”

“Experts are still learning more about how long vaccines protect against COVID-19 in real-world conditions. CDC will keep the public informed as new evidence becomes available.”

No, the vaccine did not cause the surge.

India and most third world countries relied upon HQC and Ivermectin because they were available. A case of something might be better than nothing.

Do you really think that India would forgo HQC and Ivermectin if they were as effective as the anti-vaxxers would have you believe once the vaccines were available.

The vaccines are far more effective than HQC and Ivermectin regardless of what the anti-vaxxer cultists would have you think.

BTW, interesting article in WSJ today reporting that the availability of vaccines were driving the reduction in new COVID cases. (There is a paywall.)

The Earth’s atmosphere contains 2,379,300,000,000,000,000 pounds of oxygen. Each human being consumes about 1.87 pounds of oxygen per day. If every single person on Earth were put on full Oxygen for the next 4 weeks, they would require 411,663,177,479 pounds of oxygen. That’s 0.0000173% of the world’s oxygen.

I think we’ll be okay if a couple million people in India need some oxygen.

“Learn more about why getting vaccinated is a safer way to build protection than getting infected.”

How many decades of medical study are thrown away with that sentence?

If you get a disease and survive it, whether it is viral or bacterial, you are immune. Link to a study done before 1970 that contradicts that. Medical theory has been destroyed by profits.
