It Was Never About A Virus

I think we know that now:

Recently, The Lancet published a study on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and the waning of immunity with time. The study showed that immune function among vaccinated individuals 8 months after the administration of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was lower than that among the unvaccinated individuals. According to European Medicines Agency recommendations, frequent COVID-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. The decrease in immunity can be caused by several factors such as N1-methylpseudouridine, the spike protein, lipid nanoparticles, antibody-dependent enhancement, and the original antigenic stimulus. These clinical alterations may explain the association reported between COVID-19 vaccination and shingles. As a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued. In addition, the date of vaccination should be recorded in the medical record of patients. Several practical measures to prevent a decrease in immunity have been reported. These include limiting the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including acetaminophen to maintain deep body temperature, appropriate use of antibiotics, smoking cessation, stress control, and limiting the use of lipid emulsions, including propofol, which may cause perioperative immunosuppression. In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccination is a major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients.



Tow the line or else:

A family doctor from Manitoba has been censured for prescribing Ivermectin to a patient, not wearing a mask during a clinical encounter, and conveying information about COVID-19 pandemics and vaccines that run counter to public health recommendations, says the province’s regulatory body for medical physicians.


I'll just leave these here:

On July 25, the Indonesian government started to distribute free ivermectin and vitamins to self-isolating COVID patients in high-risk areas just as the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus tore through the country. Each package from the government contained seven days' worth of ivermectin and vitamins and was given to patients who were asymptomatic and who had mild to moderate symptoms, such as fever and dry cough, the Strait Times reported.

Because of the surge in COVID cases, health facilities were packed and those who self-medicated at home caused a spike in the cost of medicines. The health ministry quickly moved to control the prices of COVID related drugs such as favipiravir, remdesivir and ivermectin.

But the dramatic drop in new COVID cases has also been seen in other countries where ivermectin was accepted as a treatment for the coronavirus, such as India and Namibia. This is in contrast to countries with high vaccination rates such as Singapore, Ireland, the U.K., and Israel that have high vaccination rates but major COVID outbreaks.

NOQ Report revealed that Ireland, which has 90.11% of their population over the age of 12 vaccinated at least once for the COVID shot, is seeing a major spike in COVID cases. Ireland, which has 88.63% of its population fully vaccinated, now has "highest number of patients in hospital with Covid-19 since March, despite over 91% of the population over-12 being vaccinated - the highest jab rate in the EU," Gript.ie reported.

Japanese trading and pharmaceutical company Kowa Co Ltd (7807.T) said on Monday anti-parasite drug ivermectin has been found effective for treating the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in a Phase III trial.

The trial found ivermectin has "an antiviral effect" against the variant, Kowa said without providing further details.

Results: Ivermectin prophylaxis was taken by 76 controls and 41 cases. Two-dose ivermectin prophylaxis (AOR 0.27, 95% CI, 0.15-0.51) was associated with a 73% reduction of SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers for the following month. Those involved in physical activity (AOR 3.06 95% CI, 1.18-7.93) for more than an hour/day were more likely to contract SARS-CoV-2 infection. Type of household, COVID duty, single-dose ivermectin prophylaxis, vitamin-C prophylaxis and hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis were not associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Conclusion: Two-dose ivermectin prophylaxis at a dose of 300 μg/kg with a gap of 72 hours was associated with a 73% reduction of SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers for the following month. Chemoprophylaxis has relevance in the containment of pandemic.




She said the quiet part loud:



With some propaganda, this will change:

According to a new Angus Reid survey, just 25% of Canadians want vaccine passports to continue.

To get a sense of the shift, 70% supported them in September of 2021.

Support for mask mandates has also dropped dramatically.

From a height of 86% support in November 2020, to 72% in February 2022, just over half (51%), support mask mandates now.
