I might get fired because these :censored: have a stupid HR system that keeps failing to send me the proper link to upload my vaccine card by the deadline. If they lose me they gonna screw themselves over because I’m the glue holding this :censored: together and I’ll chillax and collect unemployment for a grip, go somewhere else and command a much higher salary while these idiots circle down the drain.

I won't hold my breath. Mask wearing is going to be a permanent thing for me. Especially during the winter.
My brother in law has been saying this since last year's non-existent flu season. We should've always been doing this, at least seasonally, before covid.

Y'all already know
I love my mask,
and not just
because it keeps
me and others safe.
Besides looking
cute in it coz
I know how
to work it


I also feel
like it is
an invisibility cloak
and awesome disguise
so I can pretend
I don't know
people when out
and about and
also they cannot
be sure it is I.




So as I mentioned
before, no one
wears masks at
work except me,
and now even
vendors and
guests have
decided the signs
asking all to
wear masks
don't mean jack,
and they don't
even pretend
anymore to
be courteous and
wear one just
coz I am wearing
one when I happen
to approach them.

One told me
straight up that
he won't wear one...
just before excitedly
telling me about
a cat he adopted
that he cannot
wait to declaw
because he will
not keep a cat
with claws and
he has always
had cats. :angry2: :angry2:
(Ignant humans
do not deserve pets)

I have never
disliked someone
I don't even know
as much as I
do this dude.
I swear I did
not know evil
people were so
many in the
world till Trump
let the demons out.

Oh and did
I mention that
at least two
people a day
are going to
get tested because
they feel congested?
So far 2
have had to
stay away... :look:

Yet the attitude
"nope, Covid
is fake and
masks are for sheeple"
continues to prevail.

And y'all wonder
why this cat human
is an introvert.
Pple annoy me.

This doesn't make any sense. Covid fatigue won't keep the hospitals from being overrun or healthcare workers from burning out.

ETA: I can't take this seriously. They're dismissing the risk to children when pediatric hospitals are being hit hard. They said wearing masks on planes is a stupid policy. It's one thing to be anti-vax but being anti-everything is irresponsible and dangerous. This kind of commentary emboldens people who're attacking flight attendants.

I only listened to the first minute, regarding Norway, because that is the only part that is going to matter to the crazy pro-Covid faction of the United States. Whenever people “on the left” talk about Norway with reference to universal healthcare, paid family leave, free university, and all the other things developed nations with a sense of collective humanity provide their people through taxes, the non-leftists go on about how it is a small country, with primarily one ethnocultural group, blah blah blah, and cannot be compared to the United States. So I’m going to need them to remember those same points now, especially as Norway has only had 3.46% of its population catch Covid (#112 among all countries) as opposed to 13.29% in the USA (#17, but with a range of 5.39% in Vermont to 17.98% in Tennessee). Furthermore, Norway has only had 157 deaths per million (#146), compared with 2150 per million in the USA (#20, but with a range of 508, again in Vermont, to 3226 in Mississippi), oh, and people in Norway don’t wait until they are near death to go to the hospital if they do catch Covid, since they have that universal healthcare thing. Our “best” Covid statistics state, small and white, still doesn’t compare to Norway. For all intents and purposes, Norway’s removal of Covid restrictions should just be considered “one of those socialist things,” like everything else they do.

So the vitamin C, d, Zinc cocktail does work according to this study. Which I already knew but it is good to see a study back it up for those that need studies.
It’s a little more specific than just C, D and Zinc; it was this combination:
  • 25 mg zinc;
  • 10 drops of Quina™ (on average; the quina-bark extract may be titrated, as tolerated by some subjects, starting at 1 drop then building up to 8-16 drops daily, but which latter may be taken as two 4-8 drop half-doses twice daily);
  • 400 mg quercetin;
  • 1000 mg vitamin C;
  • 1000 IU (25 μg) vitamin D3;
  • 400 IU Vitamin E; and
  • 500 mg l-lysine

I said cocktail, I posted the list in the covid boost your immunity thread. Also they stated to take by Copper if you read further. It also says to double the doses if you have symptoms. Same thing that was previously stated.

Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
It’s going to be interesting, watching the same people who refuse the experimental, developed-too-quickly vaccine with only emergency use authorization, demanding access to this experimental, developed-too-quickly medicine with only emergency use authorization.
Merck makes the Ivermectin they run to the barnyard stores to buy so maybe the thought process will be that you can't get the mark of the beast or tracking chip from a pill or whatever.

I'm so done with everybody.

^^^ If they are married to an unvaccinated person and they are on the health system’s employee insurance. If they don’t want to pay the surcharge, they can remain unvaccinated, and choose another health plan. Insurance companies are always looking at their bottom line, so this is not unexpected. It’s not so different from the airline that decided to put a surcharge on the health plans of unvaccinated employees, sensationalist headline not withstanding.

All natural!
There’s a teacher in my building that hasn’t been vaccinated yet. Not only that, he is vehemently against it and is vocal in Facebook about it. Got the other teachers all in an uproar Bc they are FB friends with him. Now there is this weird policing culture among staff. They basically came to tell on him. He can say what he wants in FB. Is it smart? NO. Especially since he is looking for religious exemption. He has till October 18. HR will catch up w him if her does not.

Right...these "treatments" are rushed just as fast as the vaccine if not faster.
Its the tRuMP vaccine too, but they boo'd him a few months ago for pushing it.

20-Week Study of Clinical Outcomes of Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Prophylaxis and Treatment

Right but you know vitamins are not FDA approved and never have been so people will refuse it based on their rationale for refusing the vaccine. Plus the quality of the vitamins vary.

Will the Walmart brand vitamins be just as effective as the very expensive ones? What about vegan and gluten free vitamins vs traditional OTC vitamins? What about people with absorption issues? Does it work with vitamin injections for them?

Vitamin quality VARIES a ton. The rationale is there. But I'm gonna side eye this effectiveness unless it can be repeated.

Oh and I gobble a ton of vitamins.

It’s crazy that this effective supplement “cocktail” is so specific; most people have probably heard of Vitamin C, D and E, and maybe Zinc, but Quercetin and Quina? If you aren’t into natural health, you likely won’t know about those. The study also mentioned that various participants were taking individual supplements, such as Vitamin C or D alone, but taking individual supplements was the same as doing nothing - no benefit.

And you are right, supplements aren’t regulated and quality varies tremendously, along with prices. Such a study would need to be replicated as it might occur in real world conditions, with some people getting the Walmart brand and others getting the fancier brands (that natural health care providers sell on the side to their patients).

They need to actually prove that this works if it does. This study doesn’t even come close to that.

For the most part, vitamins and home remedies are not hurting anyone on their own. The harm comes when people trust so much in their ability to self-treat that they behave recklessly. Fewer precautions taken against Covid because you just know that your home remedies will work. Or not going to the hospital soon enough because you can handle it at home. Not just with Covid BTW, people who swear by these kinds of things tend to wait too long to treat all kinds of illnesses. I recall reading a study that said that people who take lots of supplements were more likely to die of cancer. Not because supplements cause cancer, but because they rely on their natural remedies and delay actual medical evaluation and treatment for longer periods of time.

Y’all remember when that mama tried to treat her son who had the flu with vitamin c supplements until he got diarrhea? Poor thing died because his mama followed advice from ignorant people online instead of taking her kids to the doctor.

this was before the pandemic. But I see that there’s similar behavior out there and it’s quadrupled.

I also feel like we are entering a dark age where education is shunned.
