It is strong, but I only adopted it recently once the civil discussion ended and government/healthcare authorities started threatening people's careers, jobs, travel, education, and basic freedoms. Once those threats started, Vazi authorities became an accurate description IMHO. I would use something much stronger against those that have suggested that the unvaccinated be rounded up and shot (pun?). The modern day Vazis are acting in a very similar manner as the National Socialists in Germany did when they created fear and hysteria regarding non-pure races. That type of hate and fear leads people to do things they otherwise would never do in a free country to their fellow man. It needs to be labeled for what it is and stopped. Please forgive my emotion on this, but friends and family (and potentially myself) are losing their jobs and homes based on this hate and fear, which is rooted in false science. When the threats and mandates stop from government and healthcare leaders, I'll agree to stop labeling them as Vazis and Vazi authorities.

Let's look at all the curtains have been pulled back from the false narratives of the Vazi authorities out there during the last year and a half: 1. The virus was a natural mutation that transferred from animals to man - FALSE 2. The vaccines prevent you from infecting others - FALSE 3. The vaccines protect you from breakthrough infections - FALSE 4. The vaccines provide better protection than getting Covid - FALSE 5. The vaccines will bring herd immunity faster - FALSE 6. A vaccinated society will reduce the mutation rate - FALSE (it may actually be driving mutations according to some virologists) 7. Vaccinated people will likely get milder symptoms when they do get infected - TRUE So why would anybody mandate a vaccine whose only remaining benefit is milder symptoms of the disease in the unlikely chance that they have any symptoms at all? Especially after all the lies? Society doesn't benefit in any significant way once you take away #2-#6, hence no mandate is justified.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!! I give it three 👍👍👍 My mother was a piano teacher so I heard tons of musical songs long before I ever saw the movies or plays they were from. Sometimes she'd haul me to wedding receptions to sing them as she played. I recall "Get me to the church on time" from My Fair Lady and "I talk to the trees" and"They call the wind Maria" from Paint Your Wagon as some of her favorites. My favorite? "The Gospel of No Name City" .

Did you know that Clint Eastwood started his career as a singer before going into acting? He actually sings/sang very well as a young man and had a small album I believe.

It's still among my favorites and all my kids can sing the Can of Beans song (though I do skip by the brothel scene these days). If we can't make fun of ourselves who can we make fun of?

I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me. I talk to the stars, but they never hear me. The breeze hasn't time to stop and hear what I say. I talk to them all in vain. Name that musical and the all-time tough guy who sang that song???

And if she wasn't the perfect gal, she will soon fix your faulty way of thinking so that she becomes the perfect gal 😉

Strep is one of the fun things going around our area in addition to COVID. Everyone gets nervous at work when someone comes back from their quarantine period and they are still hacking up a lung.

@mirkwood It's often hard to tell whether something helped or not, but thank you for sharing!

Have you ever prescribed medicine off-label? I would imagine so, but you simply haven't for this one. Is that a correct read?

I guess you and I will have to disagree on this one. Time will tell, just as it did for H. Pylori and antibiotics. Agree on fitness and healthy diet! Curious though, have the critical care physicians you listen to tried Ivermectin in their protocols at any point or consulted with others who have?

Take some time to listen to the critical care physicians in the hospitals that use it as an essential treatment protocol. If all you have done is read the headlines from doctors and researchers who don't actually use it to treat patients, but who still confidently say it doesn't work, then you are missing essential information on the subject. Your news and your searches are being unjustly censored. https://rightsfreedoms.wordpress.com/2021/04/23/one-dose-of-ivermectin-was-all-it-took-to-get-81-year-old-john-swanson-off-the-ventilator/

Wonderful and thoughtful post! Thank you 👍

Unfortunately, pharmacists are often refusing to fill doctor's prescriptions for Ivermectin (which isn't their job). This has forced people to seek alternative access routes, which are certainly not optimal. My regular pharmacist continually delayed my prescription without valid reason so I eventually filed a grievance against him for discrimination and moved my prescription to another pharmacy. Inconvenient, but at least I am lucky enough to have access. But, your point is well taken. Even the horse paste overdoses (which receive all the media attention) are rarely serious - though I don't recommend using that route.

Oh, absolutely agreed. As for the safety profile of Ivermectin, you need only search the pre-2019 clinical studies such as https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/ "There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people."

What was your experience like? Did you have any problems or issues with taking it? Do you believe it helped?

https://www.deseret.com/2021/8/30/22648358/byutv-byu-sports-nation-host-spencer-linton-shares-experience-with-severe-covid-19 Today I read yet another of what has recently seemed to be an endless series of Covid-19 victim stories in the Deseret News. What frustrates me about each of these stories is that nowhere is it mentioned that the unfortunate patients could have easily been treated with Ivermectin, which carries a risk profile roughly on the order of a doctor telling you to take two ibuprofen and call them in the morning. Most Covid-19 patients are told by their doctors to go home and head to a hospital if things get worse. Why not at least offer some possible low-risk help in the interim? I can't guarantee it will work, but who wouldn't take some aspirin each day if it might help? Even if you are a doctor that doesn't believe it works, isn't it enough that critical care doctors at hospitals all over the United States use it to treat Covid patients every single day, and they swear by it? ( FLCCC Alliance ) If there is little to no risk, and your patient is suffering, doesn't your Hippocratic Oath at least motivate you to try something that other doctors use to successfully treat their patients? What's the worst that can happen? Maybe it doesn't work, but by day 15 shouldn't you have tried it? Patients all over the country have sued their hospitals to get access, and have won the right to take Ivermectin. Then they get better, and post their stories in videos that are censored as "misinformation". But even more frustrating is that the hospitals rarely acknowledge they were wrong, turn a blind eye to the patients getting better, and keep denying patients the right to be treated with this simple and safe medicine. To me, this dereliction of medical duty almost borders on abuse! You don't have to believe that something works in order to try it, especially when you have no other options to offer your patients and the health risk is near zero. Sometimes I have to remember that the medical establishment ridiculed Australian doctors J. Robin Warren and Barry Marshall for decades before admitting that Helicobacter pylori was the bacterial cause of peptic ulcer disease and began prescribing antibiotics. Unfortunately, IMHO the media is needlessly helping to inflict suffering upon Covid-19 patients by actively censoring the patient successes of Ivermectin treatment. It's not hard to find successes - if the media would seek, they would find. Then they could present a more balanced view to the public.

Well, according to scripture polygamy just might be necessary one day as men become scarce .., Isaiah 13 9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

On a more serious note, I think this is highly likely in the future as the legal reasons to keep it unlawful seem to be on ever more shaky ground.

Then those who wanted to polygamize would polygamize and the rest of us would listen to our wife

Kinda like re-creating a bunch of modern-day hedges around the law??

There continues to be a modern day debate as the whether it is even ethical to search for a medical cause of homosexuality or other related conditions. The concern is that if a "cause" is discovered, then potential "cures" could become available and present several ethical quandaries for parents, teens, and adults. It's not entirely clear that even if a "pill" or "cure" to change homosexual desire to heterosexual desire existed whether people would use it. In the meantime, we can show love and respect for everyone we interact with.

Oh, one last bummer related to this discovery - for months now the messaging has been "we need to get everyone vaccinated quickly to reduce the opportunity for the virus to further mutate!" Unfortunately, with this new data showing that vaccinated and unvaccinated people are both virus reservoirs, vaccinations will not reduce the opportunities for mutation. We are all living petri dishes now 😬.

Makes one wonder if the Swedish had it right when they took the "everyone will get it anyway" path? By the way, did you ever see the movie Contagion? That movie parallels this pandemic so closely it's scary!
