Good one. /rimshot.
Bear in mind, though, that having a flu shot doesn't mean you won't get the flu. It can protect from the particular strains it was designed for, but there are many other strains out there that can get you.
In the late 1960s the hippies were complaining about preservatives in foods, specifically BHT. A few years later when it got popular for life extension people the older hippies were eating the stuff my the spoonful. Hilarious.
Same here for the wife and I. Late January. The worst “flu” either of us ever had. Severe throat pain, exhaustion and lung congestion that lasted over two weeks.
My son tested negative for both Flu A and Flu B, mono, and strep. He never gets sick. It was early January. He drove himself to Urgent Care and passed out. They hydrated him and sent him home with A Z-pack, doctor was baffled at what he had.
As with most anything, at the right quantity it can be very useful amongst it, subdue certain viral infection especially when it comes to lipid covered viruses. In larger quantities it can cause damage. Unfortunately common sense has been depleted very rapidly.
Please stop spamming threads with this, if anything, just post a link to it somewhere.
Birx stated it clearly. Also, many hospital staff including NYC are reporting that they have been briefed on putting down CV as cause of death, even if it was only peripheral to the actual cause of death. Pumping up the death count for CV will paint a false narrative that only prolongs the panic.
You can bet, based on their statements and policies given to hospitals that all of it was put down as COVID, regardless of whether it was seasonal flu, pneumonia, or another respiratory problem.

As for narrative, that is entirely unnecessary for NYC, as the COVID cases greatly outnumber all other deaths combined. It’d be just a drop in the bucket through the past week and a half. 150 deaths per day (Low 140, high 158) is typical for NYC, and the COVID deaths have averaged 436/day. Even if you mis-assigned ALL of the other deaths to be COVID - which would also be obvious - with those numbers the narrative would be the same.
I do apologize that you found some of these articles which I place on FR offensive. The reason for me attempting to bring the benefits of BHT to the attention of the public was that some people may be interested to know that there is something which may prevent them from getting bogged down by the current virus which is making its round. So far it has been well established that BHT will remove the lipid coating from lipid coated viruses and the corona virus happens to be in that category.
In order for this virus to do its damage it needs its lipid coating in order to properly bind to the heme group in hemoglobin in your red blood cells which in turn are responsible to carry oxygen where it is supposed to go and needed. BHT in small quantities such as below 1 gm (one gram) for example 250mg to upwards of 500 mg is very well tolerated. Yes, granted there are some humans who can not tolerate it at all and if this is the case avoid it altogether.
By pointing out and explaining how BHT will damage such a virus and render it less damaging, I was under the impression that many people were able to make the connection and come to the conclusion, how to possible avoid the grief this virus poses. Maybe some people were able to make the connection, and perhaps many are not as was evident from your reply.
I also realize that there is absolutely no incentive for pharmaceutical companies to push this as there is no money to be made, neither can this process being patented. Doctors could not or would not even dare to suggest it, as unless there are dozens of pages of iron clad guaranties they would leave themselves wide open to lawsuits, you may be aware of that one of the great American dreams has become to have an accident or damage caused by some one else, hire a lawyer and then sue, for what ever they can get.
So far it has been shown that BHT can be quite effective in keeping a variety of viruses at bay such as herpes, chicken pox, shingles, influenza and Epstein Barr viruses just to mention a few. Needless to say nothing is fool proof or comes with a hundred percent guarantee, neither do any vaccines. As far as myself is concerned I had good experience with BHT dating back over 25 years and taking it off and on when I saw the need arise to ward off some possible infection in a range as mentioned above.
So the conclusion I came to was this. Over all BHT has a pretty good safety record and its benefits are well known and in small quantities it is well tolerated like Aspirin. Once the chance for any infection has passed I no longer take it. The other option would be to take a chance and have this virus catch up with me and cause me all kinds of trouble, especially for a person up in years, even so I am in fairly good health. In this case I opted for the lesser of the two evils.
It is always nice to run into an observant reader of FR. In any case I hope you will not catch this virus and remain in good health,
BHT? A food preservative? At least your corpse wiLl keep longer!

Think long and hard about consuming anything with toluene in it.
