Son and daughter in law got covid last week. Late 30s. Both tested positive. She is one year out, double mastectomy, breast cancer survivor, chemo but not radiation. Extreme concern for her immune system. Two kids, both tested negative. I put them on to the EVMS protocol weeks ago, they bought the horse paste, they have been following it. With positive symptoms, everyone went on recommended 5 day dosing of horse paste.
Three - four days of typical relatively minor symptoms, loss of smell, foggy brain, head ache, pressure behind the eyes, flu like feeling. Now a week out, feeling much better, could go to work but in quarantine.
Did Ivermectin help them, possible save my daughter in law. Can't say for certain, but damn glad they had it.
Case No. 2 - my wife and I, both 68, good health, she a PA with extensive work in live and dead medicine (former chief of Medico-legal Death Investigations). She - opposed to the vaccine. Me - agree with all the reasoning that it is an experimental drug.
Last week we both got first shot of the Moderna. Why? Because 1) there is pretty good evidence it may keep us out of the hospital if we get covid. 2) May help us against the commie a-holes who want to restrict our freedom to travel. Mine was reason 1, her’s was reason 2.
Covid is a purposeful medical, social, and political disease. Don't let one facet of it overtake the real world impacts of the other facets. You have to weigh the pros and cons in a different way then you are use to doing.
Is that right? No. Is it fair? No. Does the government generally want you dead? Yes.
Well suck it up Buttercup and deal with it. Make your decision and leave anyone else’s the hell alone.
Darn right. Well said.
