Coronavirus

A Georgia police officer who frequently posted anti-vaxx messages on Facebook and took an anti-parasitic drug instead of a vaccine has died of COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said the drug does not help prevent or treat coronavirus, and this week issued a health advisory detailing an increase in severe illness caused by taking ivermectin.

Calls to US poison control centers about ivermectin exposures increased five-fold from the pre-pandemic baseline, with an especially sharp rise in July 2021, a CDC report said.

The Food and Drug Administration asked people to stop taking the drug, stating "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."

The good thing is this: not everyone who doesn’t want a shot instead takes things like this. I would wager that most who don’t want the jab simply want their own immunity vs. any drug.

It does show the power of how social media contains a wealth of poor advice across the spectrum. I’ve seen posts saying you should dump your life savings into Bitcoin, GameStop, MyPillow (not even a publically traded company) which is pretty unsound financial advice.
 
this is the company people trust to inject that crap in their arm?

These companies kill more people than the virus. These companies inflate life saving drugs 1000's of percent and people sheepishly inject experimental drugs. Sadly Trump pushed to end this, or at least expose this by forcing these companies to let their cost be known but anti Trump psychotics and politicians in bed with these companies said no. Simply because Trump wanted it.
 
My sister in law is a nurse in one of the largest hospitals in Utah county. She said it’s bad. Really bad. Morale has never been lower. She’s even thought about quitting.
Doctors are tired of it. You can imagine what they are saying about unvaccinated patients when they are venting with each other. Our hospital saw the first covid patient in the country off that cruise ship, and they have been busy throughout, but they currently have more covid patients than ever, and it is so frustrating thst we have something thst can largely prevent serious illness/hospitalization/death.

Reassuring to know he had a gun and a badge in case he had to make a judgement call…
 
Yes, but do you understand it?

The study isn't a comparison between vaccinated versus unvaccinated. It is a comparison between variants.

From the study:


Even your alarmist site has added an addendum to clarify:


Those infected with the Delta variant do carry a higher viral load than those who were infected by a different variant. In the case of vaccinated people, the viral load is 251 times higher. In the case of unvaccinated people, the viral load is 1,260 times higher.


Delta is a nasty piece of work but scientific studies have shown that those infected by Delta who were vaccinated carry a fraction of the viral load of those who were not vaccinated when they were infected by Delta.

Agree with most except the last assertion, studies from Oxford amongst others are showing those vaccinated people who do get infected with delta seem to carry as much viral load as those unvaccinated. Not sure where you’ve got the fraction of the viral load from ?

The viral load from Delta among the unvaccinated was in the Nature study linked in the post. This particular aspect is new so I wouldn't be surprised if there are new studies with better information and the Oxford study could very well be better information.

Weird. Why would an anti vaxxer take a horse dewormer? Did he know what was in it? Was he aware of any of the long-term studies for it? Did he know that it’s ineffective against a virus since worms and viruses aren’t the same thing?

I mean, I’ve been told for so long that anti vaxxers aren’t merely concerned about the effectiveness of vaccines and aren’t just consuming garbage information online/stickin it to liberals because they want to show tribal loyalty to the GQP.

That’s the thing. I really feel for our doctors and nurses. They shouldn’t have to continue to treat losers who are too stupid/politically motivated to get a vaccine. Doctors and nurses have lives, mental health, and families too. They shouldn’t constantly be exposed to covid and all the crap situations that covid creates. My sister in law literally began therapy this year to deal with this stuff. Therapy has helped so that’s good. But you know what would probably help more? If this pandemic ended. But we need a much higher vaccination rate in order to accomplish that. I just… feel for fellow educators and for those involved in health care. This sucks.

We’ve got things backwards in our state. It should be, “Get the damn vaccine or stay at home. If you get sick and you didn’t get vaccinated, don’t expect a doctor to bail you out.” I say those vaccinated should be admitted before the unvaccinated. Let Trump bail out his people. I’m sure flashlights up the butt and dewormer will work miracles.

This is horrific. Something out of a horror movie.

Is this freedom???
"These are typically held in case of a mass casualty event for example, when a large number of bodies appear at one time. This is actually a situation that is happening in Alabama hospitals now," Harris said.

"We have enough people dying ... that there is no room to put these bodies," he added. "We are really in a crisis situation. ... I don't know how much longer we're going to be able to do this."
 
His wife, Jessica Wallace, wrote Wednesday on Facebook that she had a “heartbreaking update” about her husband, Caleb.

“He’s not doing good. It’s not looking in our favor,” she said. “His lungs are stiff due to the fibrosis. They called and said they’ve run out of options for him and asked if I would consent to a do not resuscitate. And it would be up to us when to stop treatments.”

“My heart just can’t. I can’t imagine my life without him.”

Caleb Wallace, a 30-year-old father of three, has been unconscious, ventilated and heavily sedated in the ICU at Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo since Aug. 8, the Standard-Times reported.
