While omicron is on the decline, there is no doubt there’ll be another variant, and if previous pandemics are indicators, it will likely be less severe with each iteration.

I think basic COVID was the flu.
I think Omicron was the Common Cold.
I think the next variant will be less than the Common Cold.

But they will still expect us to panic.

But it’s the PCR that is the real indicator of infection.

Yeah, and with a 94% false-positive rate, it’s totes awesome! Everyone has “COVID”! The author is either ignorant, or stupid.

I wish I could trust my Doctors. From what I’ve seen they have all abdicated their decision making to the bureaucrats.

Don’t listen to me

No problem there. This entire piece is moronic. He went to Google to get information about Omicron/“COVID”? He might as well have asked Fauci or Walensky or any of the other purveyors of this fraud.

We can expect the next variant to hit some time around July, I think. It will be so deadly that coming outbid your house and even looking at someone else will lead to certain death.

Except, of course, all the folks that work in grocery stores, deliver food, those that work in big box stores so people can do projects around their homes, and the Amazon folks. All of those folks will be immune.

But, it will get more serious as the weeks go by. In Person Voting will be strictly forbidden. Mail In Voting and Ballot Harvesting will be the only way to vote. Forgot to add, the Democrats that will be harvesting all the ballots, will also have immunity.

And then who knows what will happen.

On the CDC website. When CDC tabulates flu cases, they go from fall of one year to spring the next.

Reported Flu cases per CDC

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html

2018-2019……36,000,000

2019-2020……38,000,000

2020-2021……1675

What was the 2020-2021 flu season like?

Flu activity was unusually low throughout the 2020-2021 flu season both in the United States and globally, despite high levels of testing. During September 28, 2020–May 22, 2021 in the United States, 1,675 (0.2%) of 818,939 respiratory specimens tested by U.S. clinical laboratories were positive for an influenza virus.

as it triggered my Eustachian tube dysfunction,

Is this when an ear stops up and sometimes feels like it's full of water?

The reason I ask is, when I was so sick Mar. 2020, my right ear was so stopped up I could feel liquid sloshing around. I tried everything and nothing opened it up. I was sick for a month and then finally it all opened up. This was before they would test you if you didn't have a raging fever. My doctor prescribed all of the covid remedies known at the time. She did it over the phone since she didn't want me in the office if it could be avoided.

When I was sick with a cold two weeks ago, it did the same thing but not as bad. I still have the cough but if I blow my nose when the ear is stopped up it will open.

I am 67 and have never had an ear infection or trouble with an ear until Mar. 2020.

I know, personally, 4 people that have had it. One of them twice.

All 4 took ivermectin.

2 of 4 actually used the paste spread on a pb&j

The other 2 had the pills and used the protocols with antibiotics

Within 2-3 days of taking it, all felt completely fine.

One was sick as a dog. On day 3 woke up and said they’ve never felt better.

Jeez, I was going to comment that his understanding of COVID-19 pretty well agrees with my understanding… but maybe I shouldn’t say that.

“woke up and said they’ve never felt better.”

Same thing happened to me after Ivermectin. Didn’t just knock out the WuFlu in a matter of hours. It made me feel better overall than I had in a few years.

Yes the entire piece is the typical...i am a conservative but I really do follow science.......he said “After kindly telling these Holiday-Inn-Express doctors to mind their own business,” .,..... But... He made it everyone’s business by posting something and eliciting comments. This type of moral contradictions (here is my story/mind your own business) are red flags to a person’s ability to process things

*********************

Remember : Ivermectin is your friend , get your supply today. Not oonly will it be effective agaisnt Covid, using it according to protocol will liberate us from these draconian measures proposed by the MArxist public health system under Fauci and others.

*****************************

The Government and Public Health Physicians, Fauci mislead America:

1) mRNA vaccines DO NOT provide immunity of any kind.No antibodies.

2) mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmisson of the virus.

3) mRNA vaccines do attenuate Covid symptoms if the Covid mutant variant is vulnerable, for a limited period of 5 months ( Pfizer) to 6 or 8 months ( Moderna).

4) The mRNA vaccines do not work in the nasal cavity, in the pharnyx or in the lung, they only work in the blood stream, but give no protection to Covid involved organs.IVM does.

Thats why Ivermectin in your friend when taken within a few days of the infection or as prophylaxis.

Proof of Effectiveness of Ivermectin:

https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/epidemiologic-analyses-on-covid19-and-ivermectin/

***************************************

How Ivermectin works:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343390023_Ivermectin_docks_to_the_SARS-CoV-2_spike_receptor-binding_domain_attached_to_A

There is reasonably solid evidence that ivermectin docks to the spike protein itself to prevent binding to the ACE2 receptor which is the primary pathology causing the tissue damage and clots related to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, this is also an implication that this ability of ivermectin to disable the binding of the Spike protein including the vaccine-produced spike proteins. This binding of ivermectin to disable the spike protein is also preserved even with the newer spike protein mutations, but its activity against the original Wuhan spike protein,(the one vaccines were designed to produce) is fairly well studied at this point.

Abstract:

Background/Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One drug that has attracted interest is the antiparasitic compound ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. We carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. Materials and Methods: We used the program AutoDock Vina Extended to perform the docking study. Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin to the spike-ACE2 complex was -18 kcal/mol and binding constant was 5.8 e-08.

Conclusion: The ivermectin docking we identified may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. Clinical trials now underway should determine whether ivermectin is an effective treatment for SARS-Cov2 infection.

******************************

The following video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6MZSWXr9Vo] explains the multiple mechanisms of the activity of Ivermectin including the ability of the body to maintain its basic defense of the cell nucleus in preserving the body’s ability to produce antiviral proteins, inhibition of RNA dependant RNA polymerase which inhibits the replication of viral RNA (possibly including that from the mRNA vaccine package), the stat 3 human signaling pathway which inhibits the production of blood clots also possibly mitigating some of the vaccines most dangerous side effects. Also discussed is the inhibition of the CD147 pathway by ivermectin which again may block the clumping of platelets due to spike protein either from the virus or possibly the vaccines.

**************************************

IN FACT these Public Health commies do not want you to know about Ivermectin, that’s why they ridicule the drug and its use at every turn and suppress the news of Ivermectin’s effectiveness.

I know lots who have gotten it. Some have taken the Ivermectin protocol while other haven't. In general, those that have used Ivermectin seem to feel better quicker.

Woke up yesterday kind of stuffy and felt tired and achy. Took aspirin, C, D3, and zinc and felt better. Today woke up with it again. Wife administered Antigen self-test which is positive. Still just feels like a mild cold. Think I'll just continue the C, D3 and zinc. Seems like overkill to take the Ivermectin and Azithromycin.

The CDC itself states on its site that there is currently one RT-PCRthat is reliable in detecting omicron and that other PCR tests, until properly updated, are not recommended due to inaccurate results.

So I don’t know where this author determine the PCR test was the reliable one where rapid antigen tests are fairly accurate as high as 98%.

Yes, can be one of the signs, ( i have that). Steroid nasal spray may help by treating sinuses, but it is taking six weeks for me to have gotten about 80% improvement.
