COVID Is Ramping Up for a Year of Deadly Surges
Dailybeast ^ | 10/23/2023 | David Axe

COVID is back. But then, it never really left. And the respiratory disease’s late-summer resurgence might be a preview of an even bigger surge this winter.

Experts say the latest bump in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States and other countries, in the fourth year of the novel coronavirus pandemic, was inevitable three years ago—when anti-science extremists all over the world began politicizing the then-brand-new vaccines.

Or not.

I suppose for the most part it depends on what agenda the left wants to force on us and use Covid hysteria as the tool to force compliance.

Oh My God, there must be people just up and dying in the streets,in their cars driving, shopping, waiting for the bus..., best get the refrigerated trailers soon to keep up...

If they are, it's going to be from the vax and not Covid.

Just saw a T shirt for sale online.

Hand Sanitizer
(with an arrow pointing to the pants crotch below.)

Good for when they push those pump bottles at you again soon next to the “Must Wear Mask To Enter” signs in front.

Three and a half years here, 68, covid twice, no vax, and still here.

This could be my post - same age, no “vax”, just got over my 2nd case this past weekend. It was a heavy head cold for 4 days - came on quick, left quick - I don’t test, but no sense of smell /taste so I think probably
WuFlu.

There weren’t any tests available for the general public when I had it in April 2020, but last winter I tested positive with a Covid test, FWIW, if it didn’t come back positive for a different virus.

After reading this thread and your detailed comment, I decided to see if I could find any additional studies dealing with the disturbing IgG 1 thru 4 findings in one study which showed that after the 2nd vaccination almost all the virus fighting IgG3s were gone, and after the 3rd vaccine IgG4s had increased from under 1% of total to almost 20% of total in that study of 20 to 30 subjects. In addition a fraction of the group had IgG4s around 50% of total IgGs, and they were the ones who got Covid.

I found this German study of a similar small number of subjects. This study was even more terminology dense than the other study and I could not really follow the findings very well. However, the quote below clearly indicates there are IgG issues and more study is needed. Also that with talk of using mRNA technology on other bugs, more studies are very much needed on that too.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.05.22277189v1.full#F1

“Our findings on an unusual, mRNA vaccine-induced antiviral IgG4 antibody response appearing late after secondary immunization clearly require additional investigation. Apart from further clarification of the precise underlying immunological mechanisms driving this response, it has to be evaluated how an IgG4-driven antibody response affects subsequent viral infections and booster vaccinations. This is not only relevant for potential future vaccine campaigns against SARS-CoV-2, but also for new mRNA-based vaccine developments against other pathogens.”

I don’t know how German subjects would differ from American subjects, but the findings in this study did not seem as definitively clearcut as in the first study I read. One finding that I think I understood correctly was that looking at other vaccines like tetanus, the IgG problems did not seem to occur. Personally, given my own recent troubles with lingering respiratory illness, I continue to wonder if my J&J with SPIKE PROTEIN targeting may in fact be more important than the mRNA ISSUE. All these German subjects were tested using the original Pfizer vaccine shots. Studies like this on much larger populations and looking at all the major Covid vaccines must be done for our safety. Rather than endangering new people, people already vaccinated with various numbers of shots and vaccines should be studied retrospectively.

"David, go pound sand."

He seems to be furious that so many unvaccinated were allowed to live and are still walking the street spoiling his narrative.

balderdash ... one of the CDC’s big concerns right now is that the current covid strains are so weak that infected people have no discernible symptoms ...

That study is BS. Measuring some particular aspect of some antibody response doesn’t show the jabs were safe or effective. (Beyond that, note the small sample size, specialized population, and absence of any sort of non-jabbed control group.)

We need to stop the jabbing. Period. Go after those who created this debacle and go honest with the hordes who have been fooled to believe that there was a spreading, deadly virus that necessitated the jabs to begin with.

CORRECT, wonder why the FDA is pulling a lot of OTC COLD/FLU MEDS, THEIR EXCUSE DOESN’T HOLD WATER. We’ve ALL used many of these products for YEARS. Mucinexis the only 1 I avoid. Reacted to it.

The company will continue to sell other “oral cough and cold products” in order to “meet consumer needs,” the statement continued.

“We are aware of the FDA Advisory Committee’s position on oral **phenylephrine** (PE) and will follow direction from the FDA to ensure products we sell comply with all laws and regulations,” the statement from CVS said.

CNN reached out to other retail pharmacies to see if they are planning to take similar action. In a statement Friday, a Walgreens spokesperson told CNN, “Walgreens follows FDA regulations. We are closely monitoring the situation and actively partnering with the Walgreens Office of Clinical Integrity and suppliers on appropriate next steps.”

While the FDA has found that the ingredient is safe to use, many doctors have questioned phenylephrine’s effectiveness for years. These products generated nearly $1.8 billion in sales last year alone, according to data from the FDA that was presented to the Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee during the committee’s two-day meeting in September.

**Last month, the advisory committee voted no on the specific question: “Do the current scientific data that were presented support that the monograph dosage of orally administered phenylephrine is effective as a nasal decongestant.”**

The FDA told the committee it would take its advice into consideration, although it did not give a timeline. The agency has not issued a final decision regarding phenylephrine and has not asked manufacturers or retail pharmacies to remove products containing the ingredient from store shelves.

The group encouraged the FDA, before it made any regulatory changes, to “be mindful of the totality of the evidence supporting this long-standing OTC ingredient, as well as the significantly negative unintended consequences associated with any potential change in oral PE’s regulatory status.”

A CHPA spokesperson, Logan Ramsey Tucker, told CNN in a statement Thursday, “Until FDA makes a determination on the committee’s recommendation, oral PE remains a Category 1 OTC ingredient, which is generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE).”

I sorry you died. Looks like you got better though.

During the peak of covid fear, my wife went to a beach near Corpus Christi, TX. Wall to wall people. Wall to wall American and Trump flags.
