So we were up at the in-law's for Christmas. I don't watch MSM (with the exception of Tucker), and sure as hell don't watch ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC. My FIL is 96 and a WWII Infantry vet, while MIL is 87. SIL was there too and while relaxing after dinner and sipping a little bourbon the national news came on (I think it was CBS).

I kept count: four of the first five stories were either directly about COVID or had them as the "lead" or cause of the story's issue. I had to keep my mouth shut as I love my in-laws dearly (SIL is okay) and they didn't like Trump and voted Biden. They usually do vote "D" anyway. Way I look at it my FIL has, if anyone has, earned a right to vote however the hell he wants, but I don't have to agree with it. The repeated repeated repeated (am I repeating myself like CBS?) COVID theme was overwhelming to me. Although it hastened a re-fill of my bourbon, I'm sure my blood pressure spiked a bit!

While I knew it existed, the depth of the dousing with hyperbole shocked and angered me. I stepped onto the "other side of the line" and was appalled.

We're fvcked........

What’s going on in Europe will be here in 3-6 months.

And none of it has anything to do with public health.

This is the calm before the storm…

I/we/us could NOT be more unaffected by this tripe if we tried. Its like Covid doesnt even exist here. And whilst Im all for people doing what THEY want, doesnt mean you aint gonna be made fun of.
We had an wonderful, intimate gathering at my Pastors home at 0600 this morning. A dozen of us sat closely together having fellowship. NOBODY CARES about this mess here. I cannot imagine letting the gov. or media dictate how people celebrate ANYTHING, especially Christmas.
I already know theyll do or say anything to hinder, hamper & eventually try to stop Christmas any way they can..but theyll never succeed. I took my gf out to eat in a semi-fancy place in Huntsville AL yesterday. Right behind her were two older black women wearing masks, taking them down each time to take a bite. How foolish & stupid they looked. But Id never force them to stop, just like Ill never be forced to do as they were.
As to OP's comment what happeing in Europe will be here in 3-6 months, its already here in parts of America...the same parts that yes, will be WORSE in 3-6 months.
But here, we will be the same no matter what....we,ve ignored it over a year now...nothigs going to change. Our church stayed open, we still went anywhere we wanted, DONT wear a mask anywhere, except at work, and its under my chin like all night, have yet to wear one correctly. We will defy & resist at all costs, period.
And thats just how its gonna be.

Folks here in N Alabama wear masks at work when required - out and about 90% of mask wearers are virtue signaling or MSM addicts. It strikes me as ironic that the people I see voluntarily wearing masks wear them under their noses or take them off to talk on the phone.

My wife went to Oregon a few months ago and was required to wear a mask outside on the beach and whale watching. Crazytown.

The democratic party is a modern death cult. Total mind control that stresses fear and death- or at the pinnacle, the fear that they won't be able to kill their babies.

The problem are facts that everyone can see. While they are at their fall-back position of measuring cases after falling back from the number of deaths, to the second line of hospital resources- what happens when March comes, this goes away and the deaths and hospitalizations just aren't there? Maybe I'm foolishly optimistic, but the head-trash these people are carrying with them can only last so long. When they come out with the line that we all need to vax and mask for the people with compromised immunity- the argument used in some schools now- people are just going to shrug.

Look at Polis in CO. Colorado is goofy with a good amount of 'libertarianism', but Gov. Pole-smoker threw gun rights under the bus here in CO to keep his national chances alive. He is coming down to - get your shots, and live your life. Don't get your shots, don't wear a mask - take your chances; the govt isn't your mom. He sees that this Dem strategy isn't viable in the long term.

I'll have to dig up the post where I called omicrom. It came a bit earlier than I thought, but it is less dangerous and more catchy than I thought they'd press us with.

Normal people, and a lot of vax'd people, are looking at the new variants and how the vaccines just don't 'work' and are turning down the booster. Hell, omicrom IS pretty much a vaccine.

The vaccines were lasers- bright and shortlived. You need a shotgun. And keeping the gun analogy going, where are our 'reloads'? These vaccines are like shooting M193 when I want the MK262 at least.

The problem seems to be getting the correct information out there.
Omnicron is appearing like a common cold or a light flu. This was made very clear by the Doctor who discovered it and put the word out.
Now, if omnicron is such a light case of Covid and you get the immunities, well there goes the entire vaccine industry.

I have seen more mask wearers and I just shake my head.. I know folks that are vaxxed and boosted who got covid twice....maybe the cures are worse than then disease. Not sure and yes I did get the vax.... I am done with the fear mongering

People said omnicron isn't that bad and you are seeing folks feed into the fear like it is the black plague

All along, I've said "It's your choice" and to tell you the truth, right up until the election, I would have done it. However, it became a political football and Kamala and Joe both came out and said "This is Trump's vaccine and I dont trust it/him." I just turned off from the whole thing.
That being said, it didn't stop me from not wearing a mask and going about my daily life as if this never Covid event never occured.
As far as I know, I havent gotten Covid, but time went on. Now it's 2 years on and I don't see how I havent come in contact with it.
Thats an experiance from one guy, well, one guy and his Son. You see my Son is in College and going through all of this.

So as time goes on, taking the vaccine might reduce the chances that some folks will get this, but it might only be good for 90-150 days. After 150, you're on your own and you don't have the antibodies to prevent further infections. So your seeing people get multiple vaccinations, yet still get the virus, sometimes multiple times.
The big BUT in all of this is that this is an experimentle vaccine, we don't know the long term effects.

No one will be held accountable if all of this goes bad; really, your on your own.
Looking at the pro's and con's, no thanks.

I've asked myself that more than a couple of times in all of this, but in the middle of it, when we all still knew better, we were allowing Governors to stow active Covid Pateints in Nursing homes with the most vulnerable.
I mean just how stupid is that? Everything about that was totally against "The Science" and yet no one is held accountable. All of that comes to you via the Democratic Party. No one and I mean no one will be held accountable for that.
Oh by the Way, Trump Stationed to Navy Nursing Ships off the coast of New York and several Mobile Hospitals. I'm really not sure if any of those assets were ever used and the only excuse is the Guy who made them available was a Republican who "Mean Tweets".

Having said all of that, you're expendable and if your life or death could move the political footbal a single millimeter for them, they're all for it.

With how mild omicron is, you’d think people who haven’t had Covid would want to get some natural immunities from this one.

If this charade was about health and safety we wouldn’t be seeing the massive fear lien response to omicron- it’s a cold.

It’s crazy to see how many people comply with blanket PHO’s/mask
Mandates. It’s nice to see those who do not comply.

The leftist mob continues to go even more retarded, I didn’t this that was possible, but here we are, they just keep getting more and more retarded.

The elephant in the room is the mental health of millions of children and young adults that is worse than it has been in decades.

Not to mention elderly folks in assisted living being taken away from their families and isolated. They’re deteriorating quicker than ever.

The children have been used as political pawns in this game of fear and control and it is taking a toll on them mentally.

This whole thing has been great at tearing families apart and weakening independent thought.

I have a sister who won’t allow her or her family to be around my family because we aren’t “vaccinated” and she is so scared we will hurt them. They continue to contract Covid even though they’ve been “vaccinated” and wear masks everywhere and barely leave the home- but my family is the danger zone because we didn’t want to take a gene therapy.

It’s totally bonkers.

It’s disgusting. People need to turn off the TV, put the screens down and live their lives already.

What we’re experiencing is the most massive Psyop ever.

To anyone still afraid to live their lives or allow others to live their lives in response to this plandemic- Do like the bitch from frozen did- let it go.

It is interesting to run into folks freaking out over Covid still. In KS, 90% of the time, it doesn't factor into your life. Occasionally though you'll run into some Liberals who need to virtue signal by wearing masks or requiring masks in their business. As someone who had the big, bad, super-scary Delta variant... it's an annoying week, and then back to work. Omicron, by all accounts, is even less severe, and not worth the time it took to make this post.

If the "vaccine" worked they should have nothing to fear.

I hesitate to post this as it will open up a can of worms.

I now have a vaccinated 86 year old mother in a memory care unit after being vaccinated and my 95 year old mother in law has deteriorated in mental capacity greatly this year and has had both jabs as well as the booster.

Granted, she is 95, but she was sharp as a tack forever. She is now slurring her words and can't remember anything.

I am deeply concerned about the future of everyone who took this shot, including some in my immediate family who caved to employment mandates.

I continue not to wear a mask and live my life as I did prior to the start of the brainwashing.

You have to acknowledge that there are folks sitting in the County Jail right now for not obeying these "rules" handed down by Fauci and his ilk, while a guy drives through a Christmas Parade after being on bail or bond three times.

Yeah well.....they aren't liberals by any stretch of the imagination. They vote like it was the 1940's or 1950's though. Daddy's Democrap Party (or even the one you voted for 60 years ago) is gone. We don't discuss politics and it's better that way. For instance they voted for Dole, 'cause he was a WWII vet like my FIL is. They also despised Obama and either didn't vote or hit "R" at least once. Having said all that, yes, by their voting habits they chose the antithesis of what I did the last two POTUS election cycles.

As Grandpa said "If I wanted shit out of you, I'd squeeze your head..".

That warmed the cockles of my heart. I'd have just given her that warning and let it go, and get a brazilion free miles from Delta for not protecting me. The whole mask theater on airplane is hilarious. Put you phone on the TSA scanner that everyone else has done the same, as you touch your mask to show your face. Same with the scanners at the boarding gate. Then, with this deadly pathogen in at least one passenger, we have to mask, unless we are drinking, or eating. Pure craziness, as we saw here.

There has to be a little more to this, or was this twat patrolling the aisles? Did one of the guys intervening call himself 'security'?

We've had an REI in my home town that's been here maybe as long as the 'rona has been around. They're the last retail store that I know of in my AO that has a mask requirement, and the couple of times I've tried to go in without one they've asked me to leave. It's fine, they're free to do that, but at this point it's nothing more than virtue signalling. I'm dead certain every employee in that place has at least a Black Lives Matter or hammer n' sickle button on their uniform, and among all the other reasons there's lots of other places to get my outdoor gear fix.

According to the article, she said she wasn't putting her mask on until he did. She actually thinks that is a threat. I am glad I don't travel for work any more - between stupid mask mandates, being herded like cattle, the b@t sh!t crazy public, and the cancellations/delays.

" 'COVID-19 vaccination reduces anxiety and depression symptoms by nearly 30%' researchers say"

For people that were in deep fear of covid, I could definitely see that. That the vaxination, the first booster and the second booster don't protect you from infection or transmission I guess is something that you have to rationalize somehow.

Because we don't have credible numbers about actual infections and natural immunity we don't know what is really going on. If you look at reported cases and deaths, you could statitically make the argument that the vaccine is a placebo. There was a drop in cases and deaths last spring, but you'd expect that with any similar disease. Deaths and cases seemed to be unlinked- a sign that the vaccine was working, but since delta, that has been recoupled. Omicrom seems to be less deadly, though still linked with cases. Considering that there are huge number of cases of vaccinated people, something is wrong.

Also, if you look at trend data from overseas like India and SAfrica, you see normal spiked of infections that you'd expect. We don't have that here, even when you look at state or county data. Denver County has had a slow rise through delta- a mound, not a spike like you'd expect.

The data is all over the place and doesn't make sense. That is why we only get snapshot data from the legacy media. If you try to work cases, hospitalizations, deaths, natural immunity and vaccine breakthrough infections- it doesn't make sense.

I will defend it only as far as decreasing severity of symptoms and average length of stay in hospital. Those data have been consistent. But that's it. Otherwise it's been a boondoggle, a failure of expectations, a colossal waste of money.

I have not got it (and can't for 3 months if I wanted it anyway).

For people that were in deep fear of covid, I could definitely see that. That the vaxination, the first booster and the second booster don't protect you from infection or transmission I guess is something that you have to rationalize somehow.

Because we don't have credible numbers about actual infections and natural immunity we don't know what is really going on. If you look at reported cases and deaths, you could statitically make the argument that the vaccine is a placebo. There was a drop in cases and deaths last spring, but you'd expect that with any similar disease. Deaths and cases seemed to be unlinked- a sign that the vaccine was working, but since delta, that has been recoupled. Omicrom seems to be less deadly, though still linked with cases. Considering that there are huge number of cases of vaccinated people, something is wrong.

Also, if you look at trend data from overseas like India and SAfrica, you see normal spiked of infections that you'd expect. We don't have that here, even when you look at state or county data. Denver County has had a slow rise through delta- a mound, not a spike like you'd expect.

The data is all over the place and doesn't make sense. That is why we only get snapshot data from the legacy media. If you try to work cases, hospitalizations, deaths, natural immunity and vaccine breakthrough infections- it doesn't make sense.

All of the highlighted stuff is a major concern; but here's the thing.
If you want to be "The Leader of the Free World" you had better be handing out the truth, ugly or not because your going to be found out eventually.
Omnicron has essentially exposed Frauci for the fraud he is and he's being exposed to some rather harsh critics now. I would imagine being in public now makes him rather uncomfortable as daily, he's being exposed. This is a good thing, because he's a liar and a profiteer in all of this.
This became a political football to be moved up and down the political field now, rather than a virus, or a vaccine we have a political event to keep people in their houses and away from normal daily life.
Eventually the yoke of this lie will be exposed and currently it is, God help those pushing this lie when people throw off their yokes.
They are now actively keeping the truth away from you, check and see the first responce to Omnicron coming out of South Africa. I believe the quote was almost like a common cold.

I think the powers that be are hyping the omicron variant because it allows them to set themselves up as appearing competent and successful. If they sell everyone doom and gloom with a virus that is slowly but surely evolving into a common cold, they can tout all their actions as successful.

We had one very rouge scientist who financed this viral development in the WuHan lab, and it got out or was released. So lets not call this the "Flu", it was a weaponized virus a Biological Agent if you will.
No one wants to look at that, no one is threatening to hang Fauci at the nearest street lamp and I'm not sure why?
In the meantime we have seen a historic level of money being thrown in to the Big Pharma pockets. In return for that money what have we got, what has it achieved?
Vaccinated People are still getting Covid and in some cases more vaccinated than unvaccinated are showing up with Covid.
We've still got the same Political Clowns in charge, nothing is getting better as a matter of fact they have made it worse with historically bad decisions like "Lets put Covid Patients in Nursing Homes." We're being told the Hospitals are so over run that they are bursting at the seams and heart attack patients are left waiting because of the "Unvaccinated".

No, it doesn't. We should not be talking about vaccine efficacy but rather patient outcomes. If the average length to stay in the hospital is 3 days difference between vaccinated versus not vaccinated, and within the margin of error, and what's the point clinically a vaccination?

Now if vaccinations assured 100% prevention of contracting and/or spreading the disease, that's an entirely different argument. But right now it does neither.

In general, my direct reports all report the booster sucks. One just got the Moderna booster and had more effects than when she got Moderna vaxxed in May. Sore arm, flu symptoms. She had a sore arm only in May.

The ones that had effects after the vaccine had effects after the booster, no suprise.

I know for sure 4 of "my" 19 employees have had Covid, two after being vaccinated. One just tested positive today.

I am not at all concerned about the octomom strain, its pretty mild, but regular Covid and D are apparently still going strong.

I have been out in the world and working from the office for over a year, so I think I am pretty safe anyway (and yeah I am vaxxed). The folks who have cowered at home for almost 2 years now are in for a rude suprise when they rejoin society. Cold, Flu, various unspecified bacteria and viruses they have not been around...

I can likely retire in a little over 4 years if I play it right, so if they make the booster mandatory I will take another J&J, not that mRNA crap (just my opinion, don't fire me up). They also only give boosters to employees on Fridays......wonder why that is? No, fvck that. I'll take it on a Monday or even better yet, a Thursday (where I work you get a paid day off the day after you get a vaccine if you have issues with it). As far as the J&J goes, 54 really bad reactions out of 14 million given? If I have to get a booster that is what I will get. Didn't have ANY problems with the first one.

In keeping with my OP, notice how the narrative is slowly morphing to being vaccinated as meaning "vaccine plus a booster"? I think many of us predicted this back when it became apparent these "vaccines" weren't quite the end-all-be-all they originally sold it as. Once the mention of boosters began I knew damn well where it was leading.

Here's my rapid take: we weren't being lied to, but we are being lied to. I think in the beginning they (Pfizer, et al.) were trying to come up with the right product based on extremely limited information. Not the first time we've seen a medication/vaccine rushed to market like this, won't be the last. BUT...instead of saying along the way "we're doing the best we can based on info we have," they all...ALL...have doubled down on lies that have gotten us to this point.

Yep, and they "miraculously" down-graded quarantine to 5 days for healthcare workers ('cause they're short-staffed and all). It is soooo friggin' obvious.

Was sitting in the in-law's living room when that tidbit about the new quarantine guidelines came on and could not help myself. I stated (loud enough for everyone to hear) "Well ain't that something, healthcare workers only have to isolate for five days now, what a miracle". Just got some shrugs and "Well, yeah, I guess, maybe" kinda looks.

They are starting to give credit to Trump for the vax. Biden did it the other day in a speech. That will slowly ramp up in frequency over the next couple of months, especially with SLO Joe saying there’s no Federal answer to the Coof. Guarantee by summer, they’ll flip the narrative to blame Trump for the vax failures just in time for midterms.

Listening to the news the other morning about the CDC change to 5 day isolation, the interviewee stated the CDC is contemplating changing the phrasing from “fully vaccinated” to “up to date” and stating shots will be continual.

The lack of data, comprehensive and correlatable during this whole thing is absolutely crazy. By the way, you know people like Google and Apple know what is actually going on. This is the kind of thing that Big Data can chew through and make findings. That we only get piecemeal data and anecdotal stories means that they don’t really want the truth out there.

NY Health Commissioner Openly Admits Exaggerating Covid Epidemic to Scare Parents Into Vaxxing Children | The Paradise News
https://theparadise.ng/ny-health-commissioner-openly-admits-exaggerating-covid-epidemic-to-scare-parents-into-vaxxing-children/

"“The numbers that we gave on pediatric admissions weren’t intended to make it seem children were having a – you know, having an epidemic of infection,” Dr. Bassett said. “These were small numbers that we reported in our health alert. That was based on 50 hospitalizations. And I’ve now given you some larger numbers, but they’re still small numbers.”

“It really is to motivate pediatricians and families to seek the protection of vaccination,” she admitted."

Making you healthy is the antithesis of healthcare policy.

The policy is structured around profit.

Instead of promoting health and cures they manage diseases with maintenance drugs that have a shit ton of side affects that require further management.

The same is true for aches and pains. The process one must go through is very inefficient and most often ineffective and uneccesary for the consumer.

Primary goal is extortion.

Healthcare policy. Man, talk about a different thread. In the US, HC policy flat out sucks: there is none. Policy is meant to be comprehensive and built with continuity. In the US we have government, accreditation agencies, insurance agencies, healthcare entities, and the legal industry. One hand frequently doesn't know what the other is doing, or one hand will make 'policy' without regard to how it would impact the other interested parties.

Profit rarely goes where it should, and the rich just get richer.

'Extortion' is a good word, you have to have healthcare. It's not like you can 'not' need healthcare, and they know who is in the driver's seat.

I have tested twice, once before cancer surgery and admission (negative, and I was fine), and when I developed symptoms in December (positive, definitely sicker than hell), because I was starting radiation. I know I had it back in the summer--same symptoms as a billion other people we know--but didn't get tested.

If it wasn't for cancer and radiation I would not have tested, because it would not have changed any way I treated it at home.

There is zero reason to get tested for 99% of the people. I can see to differentiate between flu and covid (for tamiflu, etc), but little other reason if you are just staying home and waiting it out.

I also saw people get the paid vacay with minimal symptoms and coworkers picking up extra work because of it.

No because that’s a real disease and you know it if you have it. My R&D manager is a great guy to put the kibosh on looking for data. Whenever somebody asked for a piece of data he asked them if you have that piece of information what are you going to do differently? With this variant, it doesn’t matter. It’s so prevalent it doesn’t matter if you have it or not. Outside of special cases.

They should call it the Covid and moron test kit. And always pops positive for moron.

It looks like the doubly vaccinated get it 50% less often than the unvacinated.
18 to 35 are getting it more often, 50 to 75 are getting it much less often and kids are minimal.
Symptoms mirror the common cold. 75% of people with cold symptoms are Covid-Omnicron.
It really doesn't look like there are preventative measures that work sucessfully, isolation does not ensure that you wont get it. Vaccination doesn't mean you wont get it.
It would appear that the infection is in the upper lungs, brochial tubes, throat area.

Wife had to get the booster for work. Knocked her on her ass with in about 12 hours. Hardly slept last night due to the chills. Gorked out on the couch now. These three shots have made her sicker than I have ever seen her in our 25 years together. She's done. No more shots. She's not going to go down for two days a year to get a shot for something that might not even be symptomatic.

Letter in JAMA that just came about natural immunity and vax shots effect on antibody levels. That they say they data shows that nat immunity followed by shot is the best is a step in the right direction.

Now maybe we are at a historic inflection point in the right-left divide that makes this even more damaging- but it hard to think of a more balanced way to attack our system.

We do know that it can be bad, but for some reason, two years in, we haven’t parsed that out yet. I have a buddy outside of Milan, his town was in the hottest of hot zones early on. He recently went to his local city hall, and the no longer had posted lists of people that had moved-in/out, born and died. He asked why, and they said it just got too grim. In early 2020, before anyone really was clued in, they had as many deaths by the end of February than they usually had in a whole year. So it is something. It isn’t the end of the world, it isn’t nothing.

I can tell you, that by watching people drive around, COVID didn’t take out the dumb ones. If it applied any evolutionary pressure on our population, it wasn’t for any trait that I find useful.

The other thing is that when there is the next pandemic, we’l treat it like this one- and that could be bad.

While it does give some value to the vaccine, those numbers you state also tell me it is the Delta, not the Omicron. Omicron, being less serious, is more easily spread and that includes those vaxxed as much as unvaxxed (or so it seems at this point). Those numbers also correlate with the lag time (1-2 weeks) between exposure and serious illness. The CDC had to walk back it's "Omicron makes up 75%" claim a couple of days ago (was like really only 25% in late December?). That means your data shows that it is the more dangerous Delta variant that is currently plaguing hospitals, given the lag time, as the vaxxed don't seem to take it as hard.

this is the problem we have become a junk eating obese nation that for the most part is lazy and buys whatever they are told is healthy and is not !

most like their snacks more than their health and they think either I do not need the jab and they do need it cause they are NOT in shape they are sugar coated obese out of shape problems and refuse to admit it

IMHO being in top metabolic shape is the key to not getting sick or making it a non issue by a huge % and better than being out of shape with a jab

Can someone point me to the Vit D link in? The Brit guy mentions Vhitahmin D, which maybe works better ;) But he said it in an offhand comment way of like 'of course Vit D is playing some role'. CO is really sunny, I wonder if that is why we haven't been as hit as hard. Less African descent too, which the Brit doc ties to Vit D, perhaps.

THe Brit Doc on the origins of Omicrom. Maybe in mice. The idea that these COVID can travel and evolve in other animals kind of blows the idea of national lock downs, or really 'islanding' areas from travel, aren't going to work.

It came from the original strain, not from any of the other variants. Interesting to think, that if if has appeared and spread sooner, we could have been done with this already.

not sure if the other vid mentions but look into Magnesium with Vitamin D helps absorption etc.. google that and you will find quite a bit about the two working together !
also fat intake as in quality fats Butter/ghee animal fats etc.. help with Vitamin D some are saying but the Magnesium is most important

Magnesium Oxide that is a laxative and not absorbed (maybe %5) !
Magnesium Citrate most common including powder drink form etc. some folks get a mild laxative effect but not always and in smaller usually not again most common I get the powder drink from Costco and its quite good no issues
Magnesium Glycinate not as common but works super well ! we have this in pill form my daughter takes (also women have Dif amounts and so on) I take her pills sometimes (they are not a scrip just OTC)

google the types of magnesium maybe a combo of the two

but for sure look into the Magnesium with the Vitamin D thing :)

the Sun thing even if sunny its kinda the intensity winter sun won't do much maybe lower Arizona and down in Mexico or Hawaii and FL
(makes ya think how FL has done so well ? hhhmmmm)

the YouTuber High Intensity Health had a good vid on the sun and issues he has a bit of push his supplements to ignore :) hahaha but good info

the thing about the sun to is you need skin exposure ! no sunscreens no shirts and in shorts kinda thing to get enough ! but its a good idea IMHO to get out in sun and work etc..

SCOTUS libs are ignorant of the law, rights, disease, medicine. Breyer is giving a stump speech.

You need the vaccine because it is like washing your hands?
The vaccine stops transmission… uhm, no.

I think the MO or NE(?) lawyer missed out on some basic facts, like the vaccine doesn’t stop the spread.

The Louisiana solicitor lawyer was pretty good. I still don’t know why they didn’t pound that unlike other infection prevention measures, you can’t take off a vaccine. THe question back should have been, what currently mandated is a life time obligation. Yes, you have to wash your hands a certain way at the hospital, but can they make you do that at home? For the rest of your life?

Plus the vaccine doesn’t even stop infections or spreading…

Teacher Fearing COVID-19 Exposure Is Arrested After Doing Horrible Thing to Her Son (https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/01/07/teacher-fearing-covid-19-exposure-is-arrested-after-doing-horrible-thing-to-her-son-n503306)


While many will dismiss the left’s COVID-19 fear-mongering as overprotectiveness, I’ve long seen it as something more sinister. Not only do they find the hysteria politically beneficial, but they see it as a way to push people deeper into a collective psychosis, whereby all rights may be abused in response to the coronavirus.

This latest story falls squarely under that rubric. A Houston-area teacher has been arrested and charged after locking her son in the trunk of a car. Why did she do that? Because she was controlled by fear of COVID-19 that she felt she needed to quarantine him on the way to the testing site in order to avoid exposing herself to the virus.

A mother has been charged after her 13-year-old son was found in the trunk of her car at a Cy-Fair ISD drive-thru COVID testing site, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office confirmed.

Sarah Beam has been charged with endangering a child. Cy-Fair ISD Police Department said a warrant has been issued for her arrest.

According to court documents, on Jan. 3, Beam pulled into the drive-thru testing site located at 11355 Falcon Road in northwest Harris County, when a witness reported hearing something in the trunk. The witness said when Beam unlatched the trunk, the boy was found lying down inside.

There’s a lot of absurdity to unpack, but can we start with the fact that she originally tested her son at home? That’s where the positive test came from that prompted her to then lock him in the trunk, so she could go get him tested again. In other words, she was already exposed to the virus. Yet, she was so hysterical that she still threw him in the trunk anyway.

Let’s also note that anyone willing to do something so egregious to avoid contracting COVID-19 is almost certainly vaccinated and boosted. In fact, while I can’t say for certain what her status is, I’d bet my house she is. This mother sounds like the type of person who wears an N95 as well. Given the high probability that she had taken every precaution, what exactly is she so scared of? Do the vaccines work or not? Do N95s prevent the spread of the virus or not?

Then there’s the issue of Omicron being the dominant variant now. Omicron, even to the unvaccinated, is largely harmless and far less severe than the Delta variant. So, this likely triple -vaxxed and masked woman is so irrational that she’s terrified of catching a virus that would essentially be a cold, at worst, for her.

What we are witnessing here is exactly what I described in my prior piece on the left’s collective psychosis regarding COVID-19. These people are detached from reality, unable to judge actual risk, to the point where they will abuse their children in order to “stay safe” from the coronavirus. And they didn’t become that way by mere chance. This push into mental illness has been driven by leftwing fear-mongering, and it starts at the top with Joe Biden, who has routinely refused to tell the truth about risk profiles and natural immunity.

I’m starting to worry that the large portion of the population that is currently under this spell will never snap out of it. Where’s the line where they admit it’s time to go back to normal? I’m having trouble distinguishing one because the goalposts always just move again. A society cannot exist like that.

I mean there are certain jobs that are so hard to get you have to be in awe of someone's abilities simply because they got the title. Doesn't necessarily say anything about the individual, of course, just that they've proven themselves to be a professional in their job.

Being a teacher is NOT one of those jobs. All that proves is that you can color inside the lines, and that's about all the given credibility any of them have. Granted there are good ones who have earned respect, and of course we all had one or two in school. But for every one of those there are ten who quite frankly would be extremely dangerous if given any real responsibility.

Thinking back to grades 4-12, I recall having ONE teacher (algebra 7th grade) who actually cared about teaching and provided extra time before and after school to tutor those who wanted it. The rest were the equivalent of .gov robots. College, two philosophy professors, two chemistry and one physics professor who were outstanding, the rest "ok" to mediocre at best. Medical school, basic sciences one anatomy and one biochemistry professor; clinical years one psychiatry and one pathology instructor, rest were adequate. So, teachers are far from heroes, most just do the bare minimum at best, and I'd venture to guess almost all go into teaching for the hours and vacation time, six hour days 9-3, summers off, spring break, winter breaks, multiple holidays, hmmm, maybe I made a wrong career choice.

I'm adjunct faculty at a national top-3 program at a national top-10 University. They've asked me to come on full time. Nope, never, nada, nyet. I love teaching...but the mandatory email signature tag of preferred pronouns, the meetings, the work groups, the committees, the politics, all of this worked around mandatory research to keep your job. Oh, then you have to teach.

Falling O2 levels will be the first sign it is getting worse.Most of the people I know who have died from covid thought they were able to beat it and the first indication they weren't was O2 sats dropping below 90%. They continue to ignore it and ended up dying.

Another friend let it go slightly too far with OG covid, ended up in the ER, and they told him if it drops below 90% you need to immediately see the doctor. My doctor has said the same, as has my niece who has spent the last year on the covid ward.

I put my oxygen meter next to their coffee machine and for a while checked it every day. Going to start doing that again.

The one correlating factor I see from people who died or came close to it that I know was letting it go too far. This includes some with no comorbidities, they thought they were just fighting a bad chest cold and because they were fit there was no issue.

I know many others who were very fit who had covid, beat it back after a bad flu-like experience, and now are having significant long covid issues including some that appear to be autoimmune in nature.

So independent of vaccine status or effectiveness, or whether you think it's real or imagined, if you ever get like headed or have difficulty catching your breath you need to start watching O2 sats

Once upon a time and really not that long ago we didn't have SpO2 monitors. They are not old tech. We used the advice 'if you normally walk from here to there OK, but now start getting out of breath, go to the doctor.' ABNAK can chime in, but after we did get SpO2 monitors, saw a correlation between drop in sats and increased shortness of breath with ambulation.

We all know that the Dems are overreaching with the whole 16 thing. I posted above a link to an article where the theory that not allowing the official process of questioning the votes actually helps the Democrats. But let’s take a longer look at this at how it potentially, and could actually lay out.

Let’s put three things out there as fact pattern elements. The first is that the election was stolen, the other is that the feds drove the riot through in action and direct action, and there was a massive plan inside the federal government starting in 2016 as a soft coup against Trump. It’s pretty clear that the last two are true and they are going to pull out evidence that make it objectively verifiable. Of course the Dems will deny it. Most people have a feeling that the election was stolen, but it’s hard to find actual evidence of it, and actually hard to find evidence that it didn’t happen.

The problem for the dams is if enough people especially in the middle start to realize that the last two things are true, while the Dems deny them actually happening, then them denying the The election fraud rings hollow, and in a lot of peoples minds will reinforce the idea that it was stolen.

1/6 may end up being a rallying cry for the Republicans as evidence of an over arching and conspiratorial attack on Trump and our way of life.

They can easily vary 1% between devices.

But even the prograde fingertip ones seem to do that.

For they are useful is in relative changes as measured by the same device on the same person in the same location.

All that said and done, the rule of thumb you mentioned seems to correlate pretty well with that 90% figure.

.02 on pulse ox: Handy device. Tends to be overused and overvalued.

I have several in kits that were all ~$30 or less. Based on unscientific testing, they are accurate enough for most uses. Differences between the cheap and expensive seem to be speed of update, reliability and accuracy in high or low temps, durability of the plastics, and with harder to read patients. You hit a point where if you're worried about the accuracy of the ox, you probably ought to be headed for a monitor.

Once upon a time and really not that long ago we didn't have SpO2 monitors. They are not old tech. We used the advice 'if you normally walk from here to there OK, but now start getting out of breath, go to the doctor.' ABNAK can chime in, but after we did get SpO2 monitors, saw a correlation between drop in sats and increased shortness of breath with ambulation.

Usually yes, but not always. I run the home oxygen thing at my facility so part of my job is to qualify patients (and re-qualify annually) and there have been a number of times where a patient ambulated and looked like Death eating a cracker, and I would have sworn the sats would be low. But lo and behold they maybe only dropped to the low 90's or such. I'll usually have them do it again if they bitch about the results, and then have to explain that breathing is comprised of two different parts, the "Oxygen in, CO2 out" thing, yada yada. If they no longer meet the criteria (i.e. sats 88% or lower, although I'll usually let 89% slide) most get really pissy, because in their non-medical (simpleton?) minds if they get short of breath they crank their oxygen up 'cause that can be the only cause! Forget that they're probably hypercapnic out the wazoo and either low O2 or high CO2 sends the brain the same message: I can't breathe! It would be cool if they developed a CO2 reader like a pulse oximeter.

But yeah, more often than not when they exhibit significant SOB the sats correlate as shitty. I use a desktop model pulse ox as it has a nice pleth tracing (to verify accuracy of the numbers) and I don't entirely trust the little ones, although they can be good for trending (kind of like using the same scale to weigh yourself). I also never take a pulse ox reading while they are moving, as artifact with movement can screw up the accuracy of the oxygen reading; I pop it on their finger immediately once they sit down. That gives a minimum of 30+ seconds to get a reading before they start to naturally recover.

Current crop of cheap consumer SPO2 monitors don't seem to be that accurate in terms of absolute. They can easily vary 1% between devices.

But even the prograde fingertip ones seem to do that.

For they are useful is in relative changes as measured by the same device on the same person in the same location.

All that said and done, the rule of thumb you mentioned seems to correlate pretty well with that 90% figure.

Yes, that is the "trending" I mentioned.

.02 on pulse ox: Handy device. Tends to be overused and overvalued.

I have several in kits that were all ~$30 or less. Based on unscientific testing, they are accurate enough for most uses. Differences between the cheap and expensive seem to be speed of update, reliability and accuracy in high or low temps, durability of the plastics, and with harder to read patients. You hit a point where if you're worried about the accuracy of the ox, you probably ought to be headed for a monitor.

Oh absolutely, the old "treat the PATIENT, not the numbers" thing. That said, while one wouldn't be surprised to see a 75yo guy who smoked for 50+ years running low sats, what you wouldn't expect to see (and why it's pretty helpful with a quick point in the right direction with COVID patients) is a 45yo otherwise healthy man or woman satting 86% and complaining of typical COVID symptoms. In that case sending them home shouldn't be a option....."Uh, you're going upstairs Mr. Jones".

Most of the people I know who have died from covid thought they were able to beat it and the first indication they weren't was O2 sats dropping below 90%. They continue to ignore it and ended up dying.

Another friend let it go slightly too far with OG covid, ended up in the ER, and they told him if it drops below 90% you need to immediately see the doctor. My doctor has said the same, as has my niece who has spent the last year on the covid ward.

I put my oxygen meter next to their coffee machine and for a while checked it every day. Going to start doing that again.

The one correlating factor I see from people who died or came close to it that I know was letting it go too far. This includes some with no comorbidities, they thought they were just fighting a bad chest cold and because they were fit there was no issue.

I know many others who were very fit who had covid, beat it back after a bad flu-like experience, and now are having significant long covid issues including some that appear to be autoimmune in nature.

So independent of vaccine status or effectiveness, or whether you think it's real or imagined, if you ever get like headed or have difficulty catching your breath you need to start watching O2 sats

I know a few who have developed skin disorders after getting vaccinated so yet again one that seems to swing both ways.

My point on the spo2 meters is that it's a very cheap and easy way to keep an eye on things such that if you do feel bad you can get a data point. But it's important to have a baseline.

IE: if you consistently run 95% on a given meter on the same finger in the same situation, then one day you've got chest stuff going on, a 91% reading might be significant enough that you want to keep an eye on things. And a 90% reading time to call the doc.

It certainly can be. Like I said, in the majority of cases the sats correlate with the SOB. Every now and then you see the guy I mentioned above, and the [apparently] obvious reaction would be to crank your oxygen flow up, right? A pulse oximeter would be a good tool to discern whether it's your O2 that's low or not. If it is low then a little O2 will help, but if it isn't it's time to take your Albuterol treatment. I try to counsel my patients to take their bronchodilators (usually Albuterol or Combivent) at least 15+ minutes before planned "exertion", like grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Can't hit your inhaler as you pull into the parking lot.....take it when you leave the house! Reminds me of the old cowboy movies where they'd give the wounded guy a big swig of whiskey and then proceed to dig the bullet out. Damn, can't you let the whiskey soak in first!

copy / paste from a retired le buddy of mine on the hunting forum...

I just went to the gym and there was a car in the parking lot with a flat tire. I feel
so sorry for some folks. Lady in her 40s crying with her mask on and a shield and gloves. I went to help and she wouldnt even talk saying she was forced to leave the house to pick up a new medication and now she was going to get “exposed”. I told her I was a dirty unvaccinated person but would help her- she declined - she was on hold and I heard her saying she didn’t want a wrecker driver that was unvaccinated and the phone obviously went dead. I just shrugged my shoulders and left. She may be there tomorrow morning

Real conspiracy theorists Believe:

The govt cares about them, the media would never mislead or lie to them & big pharm who makes billions off sickness wants to cure them.


Go to the 30min mark...it was refreshing to see the suppression of early treatment with available cheap therapeutics reported on. Maria Bartiromomo today.

Too many people place too much importance on technology instead of good hands on assessments. Touching and talking to your patient makes all the difference.

Yes. Add in environmental variables like cold air or cold rooms, sweat, etc., and they can perform outside the accepted parameters. Some are better than others, but like so many things, the cheaper the crappier.

Definitely need to look at the numbers in context of what the patient looks like.

In defense of regulatory mandates during oral arguments, the following words were spoken by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor: “Why is a human being not like a machine if it’s spewing a virus?”

Uhm, because humans aren’t machines, and when a guy last tried to put serial numbers on people, we almost blew up the world to stop him and he’s the standard for the definition of ‘evil’. You f-ing witch.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProFeels like we've missed the context and slipped into medical diagnosis and treatment of others.

My very simple point is that an SPO2 meter is a useful self-assessment tool when used consistently against a baseline.

Not as a diagnosis, but maybe more of a screening or early warning.

And of particular relevance with covid due to its widely varying symptoms severity.

Consistent feedback from medical professionals first and second hand is that people are waiting too long before heading to the ER with covid because they beat it once or think they can beat it as it's just a flu.

I personally know people who died from doing that.

But I'm starting to think that either I have more friends and acquaintances or maybe live in an area where covid is more prevalent because based on general tone from many here no one dies from covid, it's all a scam perpetuated by big pharma and the government in some perfect conspiracy.

Hopefully omicron is the last hurrah and by fall it's just back to flu levels. Which still kills people, but we can drop the craziness.

And everyone can go back to arguing about gas key staking.

To me, that is going to be the real interesting thing- if if it ever really comes out objectively- why some people, or cluster of people were struck so hard by this and in other situations- nothing.

My family, including extended family/in-laws, etc, got it, sometimes more than once, and we all recovered. None of us died. But I do know a handful of people who did. Most of them had comorbidities (age, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes), but a couple people I knew were young (under 50) and healthy and just...died.

Sotayayor was either quoting very old talking points or outright lied with regards to children and similar.

On the virus and death, it is really weird. I know 92-year-olds with multiple comorbidities that survived a solid case of Delta. My 88-year-old dad had significant exposure to him while he was contagious, yet never came down with anything despite comorbidities. He is doubly Pfizer vaxed, and now Pfizer boosted.

And also I know people in their 40-50s who were seemingly healthy who died from it. I know someone's going to come out and say they had comorbidities and maybe they did.

But I while I believe comorbidities can be a major factor, it's pretty clear to me it's not the only factor. Fit people clearly die from it, and obese people sometimes do not. And a bunch in between, it's hit or miss.

There's also an aspect that I have not heard discussed: I know people who died of other things while having covid. Initially Covid was not the stated cause of death. But because families can get some money if it's covid, at the families request the cause of death can be amended to include covid. I know as fact this happened to with a friend of mine's mother wish they used to cover funeral and final medical expense.

This was done not via the hospital but I believe via the coroner's office.

It puts to lie the idea that anyone with covid is automatically listed by hospitals as a covid cause of death. But also somewhat supports claims that covid death figures are somewhat overstated.

Niece nurse who is normally on a cardiac floor that becomes a covid floor when cases increase she sees everyday. They generally try to get the cause of death right. If someone who was otherwise not sick comes down with covid, and it progresses to respiratory and then they die, they list that as covid induced pneumonia or whatever.

Late stage cancer, congestive heart failure, etc that had long-term diagnosis who happened to die while having covid is probably 50/50. Depending on whether covid accelerated things or they just happen to die with covid.

I suspect there is subjective judgment involved, but it does appear to me that the doctors are generally trying to get it right.
