Marc Bernier, a Florida conservative talk radio host who was a vocal critic of vaccines, has died of COVID-19.

Bernier, 65, died on Saturday evening after a three-week battle with the virus, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

She’s pushed crap about vaccine “shedding”, claiming just being around a vaccinated person can make a woman miscarriage, make others sick, etc.

---

People administerin mRNA injections in Israel got typical side effects, maybe from shedding.

Women close to other women who got injections reported those things you mentioned. One group of women were talking about it on Facebook. Facebook shut them down.

“She’s pushed crap about vaccine “shedding”, claiming just being around a vaccinated person can make a woman miscarriage, make others sick, etc.”
Ok. So, for the sake of argument, she says all these things. What proof do you have she’s wrong? What is your background in comparison to hers?
What schools of medicine did you graduate from? What is your background in this area? What EXPERTISE do you bring to this subject that lends any credence to your disparagement of this woman?
Or, are you simply some nobody that doesn’t like what she has to say?

Are there certain parameters that must be met for those seeking monoclonals?

Seems to me I read something about oxygen levels?

This is the 3rd conservative talk show host to die from Covid

No, this is the 3rd conservative THEY SAY died of COVID. Kinda hard to say someone died of a diease they have no way of testing for!

[Paul R.]

Various health care systems and the CDC have web pages up discussing monoclonal antibody treatment and guidelines to get monoclonal antibody treatment. Of those pages I’ve seen, I kept this link, as it was one of the best:

https://www.sih.net/coronavirus/covid-infusion/covid19-infusion

The big problem I perceive is that with Covid, once one is symptomatic enough to think “Uh, oh, maybe I’d better see a doc”, the window until one is too sick for the monoclonal antibody treatment to not be contra-indicated can be short. (Sorry, that’s sort of a double negative.) PCP’s in a “hot” area can literally be too busy to see one with mild symptoms quickly (and, after all, before testing, the odds one actually does have “just a cold” are usually 8 or 9 to 1.) So, then there can be confusion and panic on where to turn next, and, a delay can be deadly. As FReeper terart fatally discovered, to the horror of those who saw her thread about getting Covid...

It also does not help that ER’s in hot areas are too busy to do Covid testing and will often turn such requests away, send the patient elsewhere, etc.

The suggestion by another FReeper above to scope some of this out in advance, esp. if you think you may be @ risk with a co-morbidity, is a good idea. Maybe some of our FReeper health care types can weigh in?

[BurgessKoch]

Exactly, I had some of the covid symptoms a week ago but could just be a cold. My wise doc put me on ivermectin, zinc, c and d right away. Covid pcr test turned out negative.

[petitfour]

The Covid variant serial killer.

[Paul R.]

Probably I should have said: “Maybe some of our FReeper health care pros in more states can weigh in?”

FL seems to have been covered. ;-)

I would not be surprised if in more socialist states the hurdles are tougher than FL. Just witness how our Federal State Dept. is functioning in Afghanistan to determine if you are an American needing to get out...

[Paul R.]

Hooking somebody up to a ventilator prevents coughing and the crap continues to accumulate in their lungs until they die.

Nonsense. There are procedures to help clear lungs when one is on a ventilator and I've witnessed such repeatedly in both the cases of my brother and my Dad. Both survived.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

How were their lungs afterwards?

How long did they live afterwards?

[moonhawk]

“three weeks ago after” not “three weeks after.”

[bhl]

Gee, why aren’t the liberals who took the vaccine dying? Must me a government conspiracy.

If only there was statistical data that showed deaths and hospitalization rates for vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. It might show 24x worse odds for one group. Or you can blame your tinfoil hat not blocking the covid.

If you are requiring supplemental oxygen it is a no go

[fr_freak]

Maybe a diagnosis of Covid is the new Arkancide?

This COVID hysteria certainly does provide the commies with a unique opportunity for disappearing people.

[grey_whiskers]

You haven’t been following either the U.K. or Israel then, have you?

Or Denmark.

It appears only conservatives, anti vaxxers, and children die “from” kung flu. No left wing democrats die from the disease,

[blueplum]

I’d like to see that article. I did a little looking and there were 17 active duty deaths last year and the total to date is 34

here’s the sources (last year but updated July 2021)

You’ve noticed that too? From most MSM reports, including so-called “conservative media” you would think this is a fact.
Little to no reports of people who have died closely after the Jab. Lot’s of reports of “conservative” “antivaxx” people dying from the Wuhan Virus. They Hype the Latter and downplay the former.
Could there possibly an AGENDA here. Nooo!!! Of course not. Perish the thought, you Conspiracy Theorists!!!
Just do what the hell we tell you to do. And, DO NOT QUESTION US!!! EVER!!!

Thank you.

That is what I recalled...

So perhaps it varies substantially among patients, but is there a typical day into the illness when oxygen becomes a big issue? I had the idea that most people who end up seeking medical care at hospital are needing oxygen...Did not think that would necessarily occur in the first 10 days.

If only have 10 days when can employ the infusion therapy, it seems it is really a race against time...tho maybe the process to obtain the M.A. will become more available and streamlined in the future.
