I’m holding out for Prevnar 1000
My physician gave me the pneumonia shot this past summer. She read out the list of shots I was due for but only recommended the pneumonia one. I’m glad I got it because I spent this past December and January at my daughter’s house where everyone was sick with pneumonia. Do you know who wasn’t sick, the 80-year-old, me.
Yet I am happy they have advertisements on tv because once I heard the side effects, I think I’m not taking that. I take very few of the prescriptions my doctors advise. They may feel the benefits outweigh the side effects, but I don’t.
Same for me on statins. I told my doctor #1 I’m not concerned about cholesterol, it’s plaque I’m concerned about. Cholesterol is absolutely necessary for life. #2 Statins reduce LDLs but the wrong kind of LDLs. They reduce the benign ones that present no problem to our health. We’ve been sold a bill of goods on statins. #3 If the statin crosses the blood brain barrier, it eats the the cholesterol in our brain (where 23% of it is). This causes memory loss (stated on the list of side effects) and dementia. All risk and no reward for the patient. But $ for Big Pharma.
“If the statin crosses the blood brain barrier, it eats the the cholesterol in our brain (where 23% of it is). This causes memory loss (stated on the list of side effects) and dementia. All risk and no reward for the patient. But $ for Big Pharma.”
Yeah, I’ve read that.
Dr’s are in on the pharmaceutical scam as well. They get paid to push this crap and probably 80% of it is for made up diseases or diseases caused by the prescriptions.
Wife and I take NO prescriptions and we’re both 70 and we didn’t do the covid scam jab and take no flu shots or anything else anymore.
A friend of mine (my mechanic) and a really good guy is suffering noticeable memory loss. I asked him if he was on statins. He said yes. I said stop the statins and see if that helps. He said my BIL said the same thing. Every time I see him, I ask if he’s stopped them yet and he says no. The doctor has put the fear into him.
But there are numerous types of pneumonia...kinda like the flu...so I guess it is a crapshoot? Had a cousin of hub get a shot for pneumonia (some years back) He still caught pneumonia
Ever had a CIMT test? Shows types of plaque
I’m not sure. I’ve had many tests. I’m not too worried about it. I take nattokinasse to help clear the arteries. And watch my diet.
Well...that IS one solution, but should be monitored from what I understand.
“Note that the Pneumovax is used prophylactically as a barrier to bacterial infection, not viral illnesses.”
The control of viruses is because we have any medication that kills it. Many times, when the body’s immune system is busy working on a viral infection it opens up the body for a bacterial infection. So docs will prescribe antibioltics as a back up while assisting the immune systerm with antivirals designed to “pester” ther virus.
Influenza A, for example, tricks human cells so it can enter them. Once inside our cells, the virus needs to “undress”, removing its outer coat to release its RNA into the cell.
A viral protein called matrix-2 protein is key to this process, facilitating a series of events that releases the viral RNA from the virus particle. Once the viral RNA is released inside the host cell, it is transported to the cell nucleus to start viral replication.
But if a drug jams the matrix-2 protein, the viral RNA can’t exit the virus particle to get to the cell nucleus, where it needs to be to replicate. So, the infection stalls. Thus it isn’t killing the virus, it’s keeping it from replicating and spreading so the immune system can get after it.
But as there are many viruses that have morphed into new ones over the thousands of years viruses have been attached to human, we are still not able to track down a drug that can kill viruses outright.

“Nearly fell out my seat over that.”
A lot of what the public heard in the first of the covid vaccines coming out was media supplied manure. I have tried to find where it said that the pharmas came outright and said their products killed the virus. To my knowledge they didn’t. They said that the vaccines assisted the immune system of the body in fighting the illness by hampering the spread of the virus through replication. And the body did its job.
There were a number of myths that flew out from the media like the vaccines change your DNA, effect fertility, cause cancer, that there were microchips in it to track you, that the companies were using live virus in the vaccines, and even one group that thought getting the illness was better than getting the vaccine to assist in curbing the effect of the virus. Everyone seemed to have a cure for viruses, but no one has.
And none of the stalled viruses are gone from the planet. You can be assured that there are labs all over the world with viruses in them that can be brought back at a moments notice. That’s why it’s called biological warfare. And they turn up in funny places like the Chinese lab in Reedley, California that before that was in Fresno, then before that Tulare, then before that in Las Vegas. Don’t know where before that. But they’re out there.

Vaccine PING
Do not take this medication if you have experienced a fatal reaction to this medication.
My husband’s grandmother died in her mid 90’s and going through her stuff we found a doctor’s visit report with blood work results on it.
Her cholesterol was in the mid 300’s.
And she was a petite thing, and not overweight at all, and ate very well.
“The doctor has put the fear into him.”
They do that and they don’t like questions very much. I remember back in 2000 they put me on Vioxx. Damned near killed me and did a bunch of people. They withdrew it and I wound up with loud tinnitus which they told me I’d just have to get used to.
From the link...
...Regarding safety, meta-analyses indicated comparable risks of adverse events between PCV15 and PCV13 in infants. Adults receiving PCV15 had a slightly higher risk of adverse events, though serious events were similar between groups...
For what it's worth, I'm not running right out to get any of the multi-valent vaxxes.
Yeah, we all have to be our own advocate. My wife had a doctor poison her and she almost went blind and would have except for emergency surgery. At this point we are very wary of what the doctor recommends.
I wish you the best but I don’t trust any Dr after COVID. I remember going to the VA for a sinus infection.. I know me, and they asked me if I had a COVID vaccination. I said absolutely not. They said I wasn’t allowed inside the VA and the Dr would meet me in the parking lot. He came out, gown, gloves, mask, face shield and asked me why I wasn’t vaccinated. I was in my truck, no mask, shorts , t-shirt and sandals, none of the BS. I said not everything is COVID.
He checked my sinuses and said I had a sinus infection...I said yeah, I know I’m guessing an antibiotic will do. He agreed and a few minutes later his face shield was off, gloves off, mask off and we talked for a few.
I was never tested for the scam (and the test itself was B), nor was the wife, my kids and grandkids. They followed my lead that it was all BS. They’re all fine as are we. None of us got sick.
As ex military I just stood in line and they injected me with whatever depending on where I was deployed. I’ve since learned a lot. Never again.
Best of luck!!
