More on the ivermectin controversy...

The Media Shouldn’t Make Ivermectin a Culture-War Football 

Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner says that media critics of Rogan present no evidence he took horse-formulated ivermectin: “They seem to be deliberately misleading their readers in order to get good guffaws at the Neanderthals. It would be natural to conclude that most ivermectin taken these days is horse paste. But it isn’t. The CDC reports that ivermectin prescriptions (human prescriptions) have risen 24-fold since before COVID-19, from 3,600 a week to 88,000 a week.”

Yeah, it's a real drug!

We don’t know whether ivermectin is helping people with COVID, but one of the largest health-insurance companies, UnitedHealthcare, and researchers at the medical schools of UCLA, Northwestern, and the University of Minnesota believe that the data that are now available look promising. They are conducting a nationwide outpatient study, COVID-Out, to determine whether ivermectin and two other common drugs could help keep people out of hospitals and intensive-care units.

So if you look at the medical science, it would appear that there are plenty of actual doctors willing to prescribe ivermectin to their patients and that well respected Medical organizations (including high profile medical schools UCLA and the U of M) are seeing potential in this drug and other common drugs that might be used? 

Why is it that the left has to lie? Is the desire to show that Covid is a far right problem and that somehow this is exasperated by conservatives taking dangerous animal medications so overwhelming that they cannot help themselves? Do they believe (as they did by lying about January 6th) that people will continue to believe them, even after they are exposed as liars to most? 

More to the point, why do they not want to find a treatment that works? 80-90 percent of the world is treating Covid at the beginning. We are barbarically waiting for the virus to put us into a condition that needs emergency hospitalization before we do anything. Why is that? Why are liberals willing to even lie to prevent any sort of treatment from being used?

They can't help it. It's hard-coded in their DNA.

Find me one narrative promoted by the left that is not a FALSE narrative.

Just one.

If it flows from the left/MSM it should ALWAYS be considered a lie by default until proven otherwise.

MIAMI — On a recent show on Actualidad, a Miami AM radio station, the host was promoting a false cure for Covid-19: the use of ivermectin, a drug used to deworm animals. The Food and Drug Administration has been warning against its use and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has cautioned that poison centers are reporting an increase in severe illnesses caused by people taking the drug.

C.H. Truth said...

What is even more funny is that the drug won a nobel prize for effectiveness in 2015!

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/new-jersey-based-william-campbell-shares-nobel-prize-medicine-n438511

Three scientists who discovered natural-based remedies against parasites that cause malaria and river blindness won the Nobel Prize of Medicine on Monday

The compounds – called artemisinin and ivermectin – are used by millions of people around the world and have saved countless lives. Ivermectin –which now is used to fight pests from bed bugs and lice to serious diseases such as lymphatic filariasis – was derived from naturally occurring bacteria in soil.



But liberal science says it is a dangerous drug only used to deworm horses. You should be proud of yourself!

C.H. Truth said...

Centers for Disease Control

I posted the CDC write up on the drug. And the official CDC word was that they were not recommending either for or against the drug.

So you can cite your second hand sources.

I will go with what the CDC actually states on their website!

C.H. Truth said...

And yes Denny...

Everyone has and should warn people against taking a form of the drug that is used for deworming farm animals.

The fact that you shouldn't take the livestock version doesn't mean that the version specific for humans is dangerous. The CDC website states that it is a very safe drug and as this last article has stated, the use of the drug is up 2400% as being PRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS!!!!

Idiot!

But then again... I expect you to fall for every hoax.

It's all that liberals have left. Not like you can defend slow Joe anymore?

Hey Lil Schitty....do you know what "in vitro evidence is?????????

Seems to me that Lil Schitty has a problem with what was written by a cite of his.....U oF Minn....study recommendations


11/21).

Recommendation
Although it may prove to have a role in therapy, there is insufficient data at this time to recommend its use in COVID-19. There are studies demonstrating its role in prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19, however the majority of these studies are not yet peer reviewed. These studies have limitations including small sample sizes, various concomitant medications used, and various doses and schedules of ivermectin used. Ivermectin 0.2mg/kg orally once daily for 1-2 days (rounded to the nearest 3mg tablet size) is recommended for patients with COVID-19 who are receiving dexamethasone and who have lived or travelled in a strongyloides endemic area. Contraindications for this use are pregnancy, Loa Loa infection, and weight <15kg.

Evidence demonstrates decreased incidence of COVID-19 infection when ivermectin is used as prophylaxis. There is evidence that ivermectin treatment for inpatients and outpatients with COVID-19 improves outcomes including mortality and duration of hospital

Yep.....funny how so many would not take the vax because it wash't approved....Lil Schitty is all in on something that MAY have a role if efficacy is confirmed in studies....IOW's ESAD Lil Schitty!!!!!

Which is exactly what I argued and exactly what you said was wrong.

You are claiming that the drug is dangerous and that the CDC is demanding it not be used... when in fact tens of thousands of doctors are currently prescribing it for their patients here in America...

And it is being used by millions globally.

If you read far enough, the CDC will also tell you that it is a "safe drug" with limited side effects.

C.H. Truth said...

But this is the classic liberal argument?


Liberal - This drug will KILL YOU and people are dying. The CDC warns everyone from taking it and demands that it is dangerous.

Fact - The drug is safe and studies show that it helps with Covid, thousands of Americans and millions worldwide are safely using it... but the CDC does not have enough information to recommend it at this point. Oh, but they do say not to take the version of the drug created for farm animals (duh).

Liberal - See I told you so! The CDC doesn't recommend it yet. You are so wrong to argue with me!

So much for the obstinate and dumb Lil Schitty's opinion that Ivermectin has merits treating Covid!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!



While a few studies have suggested ivermectin could help treat COVID-19, more rigorous research has found limited impact, if any.

"The reason for the interest in ivermectin is that studies in the lab have shown it can block viruses from multiplying in experimental settings – i.e.
in a petri dish – and so people hoped this would mean it could help treat COVID-19 in people too," Dr. Denise McCulloch, an infectious disease specialist with the University of Washington's School of Medicine, previously told USA TODAY. "Unfortunately, the few high-quality studies that have been done to date do not demonstrate a beneficial effect of ivermectin when it is used in people with COVID-19."

Fact check: Ivermectin is not a proven treatment for COVID-19

There are ongoing clinical trials studying whether ivermectin could be used to treat COVID-19. But until their results are known, the stance of experts and relevant agencies, including both the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is to refrain from using ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

Lindsey Graham stuns host with claim the US will invade Afghanistan again: 'Are you serious?'

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina speaking at the Iowa Republican Party's 2015 Lincoln Dinner at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa, Gage Skidmore

September 06, 2021

     

When MAGA Republicans appear on the BBC's "HARDtalk," they should never expect the type of softball questions they typically get from Sean Hannity at Fox News. "HARDtalk" is known for tough questions, whether the interviewee is a Republican or Democrat in the United States or a Labour or Conservative politician in the U.K. — and Sen. Lindsey Graham got such an interview when he spoke to "HARDtalk" host Stephen Sackur in early September and predicted that the U.S. will be invading Afghanistan again.

Graham told Sackur, "Whether you like Trump or not, whether you believe it's Trump's fault or Biden's fault, here's where we're at as a world. The Taliban are not reformed, they're not new. They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times. But most importantly, they're going to give safe haven to Al Qaeda, who has ambitions to drive us out of the Middle East writ large and attack us because of our way of life. We will be going back into Afghanistan as we went back into Iraq and Syria."

Ivermectin: What we know

Ivermectin in a pill form is used to treat parasitic worms in humans. A topical form of the drug is used to treat head lice and skin conditions such as rosacea, the FDA says.

Other forms of ivermectin are used to treat parasites in horses and cows and as a  heartworm medicine for dogs.

An ivermectin overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure, an allergic reaction such as itching or hives, seizures, dizziness, problems with balance, coma and potentially death, according to the FDA, which has warned consumers about the potential harm for months,

">

Durvet, which produces ivermectin oral paste for horses and external medicine for cattle and sheep, has a COVID-19 alert on its website – as do some resellers – warning that the products are not safe or approved for human use or for treating COVID-19 and "could cause severe personal injury or death."

Doing the right thing might have a political problem but.


n the early days of Joe Biden’s term, clever observers had a piece of advice for the new president and his party that was repeated often: Do popular things. It was a bit tongue in cheek for being so obvious, but that was the point. Rather than turn his political strategy into a Rube Goldberg machine with a hundred moving parts, he should simply pursue his most widely supported objectives. That, it was said, is the only way to win, especially to prevent one’s presidency being hamstrung by a midterm election loss that gives the opposition control of Congress.
But what if doing popular things doesn’t do a president much good? What if he gets plenty of blame for everything that doesn’t go well, whether it was his fault or not, but little or no credit for what he actually accomplishes?
Over the past month, Biden’s approval rating has fallen by about six points — hardly a dramatic plunge, but enough to push him into negative territory. While it’s easy to make too much of that kind of momentary change, there’s no question that presidents with approval under 50 percent don’t pull off midterm miracles.
What has Biden done that caused this turn against him? The public is certainly unhappy with the withdrawal from Afghanistan — not the withdrawal itself, which was overwhelmingly supported, but the difficulties in accomplishing it. We could argue about whether it actually went any worse than anyone should have expected, but there’s no question that weeks of screaming headlines about what a disaster it supposedly was had their effect.
You can lay that one at Biden’s feet. But in other areas — where his actions have had far more of an impact on Americans’ lives — he’d be forgiven if he lamented that he gets little or no credit for the things he does right.
For instance, before Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan in March — with zero Republican votes in either house of Congress — polls showed it to be almost absurdly popular, with approval reaching into the 70s. Not only that, it gave direct, visible benefits to people, in the form of stimulus checks and the expanded child tax credit.
How much did the public reward Biden for it? Not at all. There was no surge of good will and appreciation; his approval rating before it passed was around 53 percent, and his approval rating after it passed was about 53 percent.
We’ll almost certainly wind up telling a similar story about the infrastructure bill and the Democrats’ reconciliation bill if and when those are signed into law: The public will like the spending, but it won’t convince them that the president who forced it through is doing a good job.
The same will probably be true of his entire agenda. Democrats are often advised that because their policy agenda is widely popular with the public — majorities of whom would like to see a higher minimum wage, action on climate change, higher taxes on the wealthy, legalized marijuana, universal background checks and so on — they should move aggressively forward on all those issues without fear.
Which they should. But the seemingly logical conclusion — that if they do those popular things, the public will reward them for it — has little if any evidence to support it.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

I still think that he did the right things. But politics are very volatile.


Foxnews

As Labor Day marks the traditional close to summer, President Biden's poll numbers are taking a hit.

Facing a barrage of bipartisan criticism for weeks over his handling of the turbulent U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from Afghanistan, and with a surge in new COVID cases due to the spread across the country this summer of the highly infectious delta variant, the president’s approval ratings are slipping.

Biden’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s since taking office in late January. But his numbers started sliding last month, as the crisis in Afghanistan dominated media coverage and mask mandates started returning in certain spots across the country as coronavirus cases rose.

The president stands at 45%-49% approval/disapproval in an average of the last surveys compiled by RealClearPolitics, and at 46%-48% in a compilation by the polling and analysis website FiveThirtyEight.

Forty-four percent of Americans questioned in an ABC News/Washington Post poll released this weekend said they approved of the job Biden’s doing in the White House, down six points from June. Just over half of those polled (51%) gave the president a thumbs-down on how he’s handling his duties, a jump of nine points from June.

Gary Langer, the longtime director of polling at ABC News, highlighted that in data dating back to the Harry Truman administration, "only two presidents have had a lower approval rating at this point in their terms: Donald Trump, at 37% in August 2017, and Gerald Ford, also 37%, in March 1975."

The ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted Aug. 29-Sept 1, is among the latest national surveys to indicate that the rocky exit from Afghanistan, ending a two-decade U.S. military presence in the war-torn Central Asian country, is taking a toll on the president's political standing.

The poll’s release followed by a day an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist national survey that indicated Biden at 43%-51%, the president’s lowest approval in Marist polling since taking office. The president stood at 46%-48% in an Ipsos national survey conducted Sept. 1-2.

Marist Poll director Lee Miringoff highlighted last week that "the end of this chapter of American involvement in Afghanistan has taken a significant toll on Biden’s standing with Americans."


The Congress is back in session soon, so we will see..

Democrats Move to Expand Social Safety Net
September 6, 2021 at 5:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 3 Comments

“When congressional committees meet this week to begin formally drafting Democrats’ ambitious social policy plan, they will be undertaking the most significant expansion of the nation’s safety net since the war on poverty in the 1960s, devising legislation that would touch virtually every American’s life, from conception to aged infirmity,” the New York Times reports.

“Passage of the bill, which could spend as much as $3.5 trillion over the next decade, is anything but certain. President Biden, who has staked much of his domestic legacy on the measure’s enactment, will need the vote of every single Democrat in the Senate, and virtually every one in the House, to secure it. And with two Democratic senators, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, saying they would not accept such a costly plan, it will challenge Democratic unity like nothing has since the Affordable Care Act.

“That is largely because the proposed legislation would be so transformative
— a cradle-to-grave reweaving of a social safety net
frayed by decades of expanding income inequality,
stagnating wealth
and depleted governmental resources,
capped by the worst public health crisis in a century.”

“America’s labor movement isn’t quite resurgent, but it is showing signs of life after decades of decline.

The federal government isn't going to let bounty hunters to attack their families or even worse their friends and Lyft drivers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Monday that it will not tolerate violence against anyone who is trying to obtain an abortion in Texas as federal officials explore options to challenge a new state law that bans most abortions.

Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department would “protect those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services” under a federal law known as the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

Garland said in a statement that federal prosecutors are still urgently exploring options to challenge the Texas law. He said the Justice Department would enforce the federal law “in order to protect the constitutional rights of women and other persons, including access to an abortion.”

Truck driver in ICU wishes he'd been vaccinated — but he listened to conservative talk radio

Bob Brigham

September 06, 2021

AFP photo of a coronavirus patient.

Nashville Public Radio on Saturday released a story titled, "Tennessee ICUs Full Of Vaccine Regret."

The station interviewed Joe Gammon from his ICU bed.

Report Advertisement

"Gammon is a truck driver from Lascassas who says he listens to a lot of conservative talk radio. And the daily diatribes downplaying the pandemic and promoting personal freedom were enough dissuade him from vaccination," the network explained. "Tennessee hospitals are setting new records each day, caring for more COVID patients than ever, and the most critical are almost all unvaccinated, meaning ICUs are filled with regretful patients hoping for a second chance."

Gammon, 45, is the father of six.

"If I would have known six months ago that this could be possible, this would have been a no-brainer," he explained. "But I honestly didn't think I was at any risk. That is the naive portion on my end."

"Just to say 'no' is irresponsible. Because it might not necessarily affect you. What if it affected your spouse? Or your child? You wouldn't want that. And you sure wouldn't want that on your heart," he explained.

The question of what will happen over the long term to refugees who arrive in the United States is a moving target.

Some have arrived with completed visa applications in recognition of their service alongside the U.S. military. Those people, and their families, will become permanent residents and could earn citizenship.

But the vast majority of the refugees are being granted what is known as “humanitarian parole,” which allows them to live in the United States for a fixed period, in most cases two years. They may be required to apply for asylum and will get help to find a home in the United States while they wait for their cases to be processed.

Officials said they were considering asking Congress to pass legislation that would provide all of the refugees with legal status, much the way lawmakers did for Cubans in the 1960s and Vietnamese refugees in 1975.

As of Thursday, more than 26,100 Afghans fresh off planes had been shuttled to a cavernous room near Dulles, including 3,800 on Wednesday alone.


Getting 26,000 out of an airport surrounded by the Taliban is great news.

Where are the apologies for spreading 'harmful misinformation' about fake ivermectin overdoses in Oklahoma hospital?

By Thomas Lifson

Rachel Maddow still has her blue checkmark on Twitter.  The ultra-rich (reportedly earning $30 million a year in her new MSNBC contract) news commentator gleefully spread a false story that rural hospitals and ambulances in Oklahoma were backed up because so many ignorant rubes were overdosing on ivermectin horse medicine.  Some were even losing their vision.

It is all part of a campaign to demonize ivermectin, and totally false.  The original story appearing in Rolling Stone was as fake as that magazine's University of Virginia rape hoax.

So where's the accountability?  There is no tag from Twitter calling this misinformation.  No sign on Maddow's Twitter feed that she takes responsibility for spreading a false story that could lead to people not taking an effective medicine.  Why, people could miss a life-saving treatment.  This is the sort of thing where the left cries, "Blood on your hands!" when there is an opportunity to criticize a conservative.

Disclaimer: I am not a physician and do not offer any medical advice.  But like Scott Johnson MD you should follow my advice.

And the fact is that, despite the AMA calling for an end to use of ivermectin for COVID — because people self-administering the drug have overdosed (as happens with aspirin all too frequently in suicide attempts) — it has been endorsed by medical authorities overseas and can demonstrate remarkable effectiveness.

Drew Holden has collected a number of media figures and outlets that uncritically spread harmful misinformation.  Note that all the examples below (and there are more) sport blue checkmarks, Twitter's guarantee.  One of them may be exposed to libel. The Texas vigilante group will get your money!

The letter also points out how military leadership’s focus on “wokeness” is hurting the viability of U.S. troops and the military as an institution.

“In interviews, congressional testimony, and public statements it has become clear that top leaders in our military are placing mandatory emphasis on PC ‘wokeness’ related training which is extremely divisive and harmful to unit cohesion, readiness, and war fighting capability,” the letter says. “Our military exists to fight and win our Nation’s wars and that must be the sole focus of our top military leaders.”

“For these reasons we call on the SECDEF Austin and the CJCS General Milley to resign,” it concludes. “A fundamental principle in the military is holding those in charge responsible and accountable for their actions or inactions. There must be accountability at all levels for this tragic and avoidable debacle.”

“Simply stated, the letter is all about accountability. One of the things that makes our great military unique as an institution is the fundamental principle of holding each other accountable for our actions, or inactions. Regarding the tragic and avoidable situation in Afghanistan, accountability begins at the top of the chain,” Retired Maj. Gen. Joe Arbuckle told The Federalist in a statement.

Over the last week, multiple GOP lawmakers called on President Joe Biden to resign for “dereliction of duty that has left Americans dead at the hands of terrorists.”

Jordan Davidson is a staff writer at The Federalist. She graduated from Trump University where she majored in political science and minored in journalism.

Defense Rests

We cannot survive without the defense of our sovereignty and independence.

by Donald Trump



Though the strength and preservation of the United States have always depended upon the spirit and guidance of its founding principles, these are now astoundingly subject to widespread and hateful repudiation from Americans themselves. Seldom has so obvious a national suicide advanced with such geometric speed against so little resistance. True to form, the rot comes from within.

Nevertheless, just as a dead tree can stand for decades until toppled by the wind, a coup de fond would likely come from without, even if via a quisling or legions of them, as history has shown. America is blind. Protected by oceans, repulsed from the beginning by the Byzantine chess of European diplomacy and war, and shielded by a long period of economic and military pre-eminence, we are uninterested in, and ignorant of, the international system, the consequentiality of military power, and the means by which nations maneuver short of war and by war itself to dominate or destroy rivals and enemies.

Of 56 categories in the last seven Gallup Polls, national security is ranked by less than half a percent of respondents as the most important problem facing the U.S., and yet its effect on whether we stand or fall is equal to that of all other problems combined. Even should we descend into nightmarish shambles as in the Civil War, with the defense of our sovereignty and independence, just as then, we can survive. Without it, we cannot.

The FDA

COVID-19. We’ve been living with it for what sometimes seems like forever. Given the number of deaths that have occurred from the disease, it’s perhaps not surprising that some consumers are turning to drugs not approved or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

One of the FDA’s jobs is to carefully evaluate the scientific data on a drug to be sure that it is both safe and effective for a particular use. In some instances, it can be highly dangerous to use a medicine for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 that has not been approved or has not received emergency use authorization by the FDA. 

There seems to be a growing interest in a drug called ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in humans. Certain animal formulations of ivermectin such as pour-on, injectable, paste, and "drench," are approved in the U.S. to treat or prevent parasites in animals. For humans, ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses to treat some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea.

However, the FDA has received multiple reports of patients who have required medical attention, including hospitalization, after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for livestock.

Here’s What You Need to Know about IvermectinThe FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals. Ivermectin is approved for human use to treat infections caused by some parasitic worms and head lice and skin conditions like rosacea.Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19. Clinical trials assessing ivermectin tablets for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in people are ongoing.Taking large doses of ivermectin is dangerous.If your health care provider writes you an ivermectin prescription, fill it through a legitimate source such as a pharmacy, and take it exactly as prescribed. Never use medications intended for animals on yourself or other people. Animal ivermectin products are very different from those approved for humans. Use of animal ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in humans is dangerous. What is Ivermectin and How is it Used?

Ivermectin tablets are approved by the FDA to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms. In addition, some topical forms of ivermectin are approved to treat external parasites like head lice and for skin conditions such as rosacea. 

Some forms of animal ivermectin are approved to prevent heartworm disease and treat certain internal and external parasites. It’s important to note that these products are different from the ones for people, and safe only when used in animals as prescribed.

When Can Taking Ivermectin Be Unsafe? 

The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 in people or animals. Ivermectin has not been shown to be safe or effective for these indications.

There’s a lot of misinformation around, and you may have heard that it’s okay to take large doses of ivermectin. It is not okay. 

Even the levels of ivermectin for approved human uses can interact with other medications, like blood-thinners. You can also overdose on ivermectin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death.

Pelosi’s Archbishop: You Cannot Be a ‘Good Catholic’ and Support Abortion

San Francisco archbishop Salvatore Cordileone on Sunday shared a message to Catholics like President Joe Biden and House speaker Nancy Pelosi who have condemned Texas’s new abortion law: “You cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings.”

Cordileone’s comment came in an essay for the Washington Post days after a new law that prohibits abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected went into effect in Texas. After the Supreme Court issued a 5–4 decision refusing to take up a challenge to the law last week, Biden and Pelosi both issued statements criticizing the ruling and the law.

Miami Herald Shreds Ron DeSantis Over Latest Vaccine Claim: 'Profile In Selfishness'
Lee Moran
Tue, September 7, 2021, 2:58 AM

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) latest comments about the COVID-19 vaccine earned a stern rebuke from the Miami Herald editorial board in a scathing essay.

DeSantis claimed last week — as his state continued to experience a surge in the
highly contagious delta variant ― that receiving the shot is “about your health and whether you want that protection or not” and “doesn’t impact me or anyone else.”

The newspaper’s board called out DeSantis — a prominent Donald Trump apologist and possible 2024 contender — for “dismissing the role of vaccines in reducing community spread.”

“Doesn’t impact anyone else? Talk about a profile in selfishness,” it wrote.

The role of the shots are actually “the opposite of what he says” because the spread of COVID-19 “is a community problem, and solving it starts with vaccines,” it continued.

Proud Boys Leader Turns Himself In
September 7, 2021 at 7:26 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Henry ‘Enrique’ Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, turned himself in to police Monday evening,” WUSA reports

“Tarrio, chairman of the Proud Boys, an all-male organization known for pushing a far-right-wing agenda, and known for violence and neo-nazi ties, arrived at the D.C. Central Detention Facility about 9 p.m. Monday, with just hours left until the deadline a D.C. Judge gave him to self-surrender and begin serving his jail term.”

F'n weeps.

Gee Reverend....
Ever heard of treatment and a vaccine together?
Last time I checked, there is no need to choose one way or the other?


The Reverend is a hopeless hack. Florida has outpatient COVID treatment centers. People are encourage to go to the center and be treated.on the first sign of the disease. Even people who are already been vaccinated are treated. While it doesn't prevent infection, it does mitigate the symptoms and shortens the course of the disease.

It's hard to estimate how much hospitalizations these centers prevented but the guess is "quite a lot".

It's too bad such centers are not setup in Northern States but I guess they and the news media know more than medical experts

Millions treated in India for Covid Delta variant

Used on president Trump

Used on millions in India who as a country has had much better results than us.

Recently used on Rogan who recovered in days

Not recommended by Fauci nor Big Pharma for a cheap generic to be used instead of expensive proprietary drugs

that should be a clue

Billionaires hate it

and democrats, especially the VERY lo iq

ROFLMFAO !!!

And no a gold standard clinical trial has not been done. The real question should be why not?

So no one attended Biden campaign events. No one watches his YouTube channel. No one watches the news channels that support him. His policies get 30% approval.

BUT he got 81 million votes.

Sure.



might be a clue why they don't want any forensic audits

but boy has China been doing great

Almost like their "big guy" is in office and doing their bidding

Testing in a pandemic is not medicine - It is public health

Testing to keep your neighbors safe should never require prescriptions

Regulating rapid tests as medical tests instead of crucial Public Health tools is THE reason we have no supply in US.

US is a major outlier



Why ???

thanks Fauci and friends
