I have been living my life through all of this and have avoided covid, but somehow think I have it now. I’m not going to get tested though, because I do not consent. Husband sick with fever and body aches. 10 year old woke up with low grade fever, body aches and headache today. I’m better after a day and a half nebulizing hydrogen peroxide and saline. (We live in a pretty vaccinated county in central IL) I wish we would just stop testing and start staying home when they don’t feel well.

hope you all are better soon! it's not that COVID doesn't exist. it's that the shots DO NOT WORK and probably hurt. so sad.

I feel almost back to normal. :) have been prepared for a long time for what we would do so was an easy battle to win

"I wish we would just stop testing and start staying home when they don’t feel well.". Like we used to do! We don't test here either. The tests are not reliable anyway, so what does a person do after getting a so-called"positive" test? Go home and be scared to death for a few weeks? We never used to do any of this madness and somehow, humans continued to survive for thousands of years. Totally agree with you Som.

Yes!! I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been hit hard with something. I’m not one to run to the doctor, but I got shingles 2 weeks ago (a bad case apparently), then I got mastitis (breastfeeding an infant), then I got maybe covid? I’ve had a fever for 11 of the past 15 days. I was getting concerned, I have 5 kids and didn’t want my lack of medical care to leave my kids momless. (I have been doing lots of course - herbals, acupuncture, vitamins, etc - I’m not ignoring) I considered going to urgent care just to make sure I’m ok, but knew all they would do is want to covid test me and send me home. Well what’s the point? Our “health care” system is in shambles, which is why I just call it sick care. They aren’t interested in us being healthy. And I don’t necessarily mean the doctors - I think they do what they are trained to do. I mean the people that have trained them.

Suggest you take 10 days of levofloxacin 750 followed by 5 days of 4mg prednisone. Fluvoxomine too. Check out the FLCCC protocol..you need to see a literate doctor. Some will do zoom calls.

Expand full comment

Yes, I agree. If you go to urgent care, tell them of your history the past three weeks. I am certain they will pump you up with some antibiotics and prednisone. You need it.

If they do not offer it to you, please ask. Tell them you need treatment. You have 5 kiddos and a house hold to keep afloat

I had a similar experience. Was asked if I wanted a test. Nope. Explained my symptoms. Said I have lupus and generally needed a round of pred to clear things up. I received antibiotics and pred. Continued my regular zinc, D3, etc and H2O2. It cleared up in a couple of days. I did not use my stash of ivermectin. I have now replenished that.

That fever for 11 days doesn’t sound right. Maybe mastitis didn’t clear? I’d get some help.,

I had a fever for 5 days with shingles, fever cleared for 4 days, then the past 6 days had a fever with mastitis then covid. I’m on antibiotics (day 3) for mastitis. Temp is under 99 now. I think I’m getting better. I have been concerned and watching it; I appreciate your concern as well :)

Are you in touch with a knowledgeable doc who understands covid? Some just prescribe but others have telemedicine appointments or email conversations and could help you make sense of your symptoms ... Wishing you healing!

Many run straight to the hospital since thanks to mainstream media, they see it as an automatic death sentence. They missed the part about 99.99+% recovery rate and variants like a cold now. They truly believe they have a better than 50% chance of dying upon diagnosis. The “people” are ironically our biggest hurdle.

Expand full comment

Sounds like covid. We avoided the drs when we became ill but decided to home test. All positive and we had varied symptoms - which made it confusing except we did fall ill one after the other. It was actually good to know we survived the “winter of death” and our loved ones who were concerned about our vax status/age were relieved. Most friends and family are no longer avoiding us and also saw first hand that covid is not a death sentence. It’s definitely perplexing to them how we got away with flu like/cold symptoms. Making them think. Some still think we are carriers/unsafe/to be avoided but we avoid them to, moved on. So home testing isn’t such a bad idea.

I’ve read the home tests have some not so great ingredients I would rather avoid. Just assuming it’s covid & treating as such.

Expand full comment

Yes. People being harmed by a toxic ingredient used to mix. That is crazy. Nobody should be doing these tests. Calls to CDC for health issued concerning these tests. They are as useless as PCR. Can you imagine Young Adults having ' Covid Parties'and drinking while using these things?Not folliwing instructions. I'm serious too.

Expand full comment

Yep, the docs say assume covid and treat. But there are also saliva tests, although not as readily available. If any of this covid response was done with respect for human dignity, there would have been saliva tests all along. But of course, it's done with the opposite of respect for human dignity ..

Not a doctor, but my experience with Vit I (horse paste, b/c otherwise not available in my area) has been great. I wouldn't risk "long COVID" or any of the other potential issues it and its nasty little spike can subject us to, if we aren't proactive.

Expand full comment

In my mind the benefit of testing if I become sick is so I know to start ivermectin asap which work on RNA viruses (Covid) and not necessarily on a cold or flu.

(Plus, my work has a separate "covid pay" specifically if you have an infection.)

I did the same with HP and saline. Works like a charm.

Expand full comment

Can you describe what you did with HP and saline? I see nebulizing listed above but what if you don’t have a nebulizer? Any alternatives?

Expand full comment

Nebulizers are relatively inexpensive, significantly less than urgent care visit. I have asthma so repurposed. Mercola has a protocol. Many different opinions. I used 1.5% in plain old filtered water.

Expand full comment

I use a nebulizer. About 75$ on Amazon. ( I know, hate giving my money to them but it's cheaper). You can get a baby bulb ( snot sucker). FLCCC recommends saline( I use 2 to 3 packets) and about a 1/4 teaspoon Povidone Iodine mixed. Snort up your nose til it hits thtoat and spit out. FLCCC had vids on rumble and Odyssey.

This^. Also mix up a little extra and gargle with it after the nasal flush. This is mostly a preventative therapy, though.

Expand full comment

? buy at home tests from Walmart, Walgreens, CVS etc? Only if you really wanna know. If you lose your smell/taste for 4-5 days you'll know for sure. I'm very healthy, 50s, had omicron in January. The body aches were more than moderate, low fever, bad headache, sore throat 3 days then the taste/smell was GONE. (It's not like when you have a stuffy nose and can't smell. It's completely different. It's sooooo weird.)

1 week to get thru the cold/flu symptoms, then 1 week to get over the fatigue, which was not too severe. I just needed a 15min nap every afternoon.

We really wanted to know. We are older and had off label medications to start ASAP. Probably didn’t need them but the variant was new and our teledoc didn’t want to take chances with us. We used Abbott BinaxNow.

Yes I don’t believe this is ‘just a cold’ for many. Someone close to my family-who is double jabbed but I’m unsure if they have been boosted- has had fever of 102 for several days. I advised nasal irritation and mouthwash but was reluctant to give too much advice since I don’t know how they feel about alternatives. Their unvax child symptom free.

Expand full comment

So, they count people who died WITH but not FROM covid as a covid death, but now count only those treated with certain medications as covid hospitalizations, regardless of the fact you are in the hospital for covid symptoms.

Fudge the data to scare everyone into getting the shots, then fudge the data to hide the fact the shots don't work...

I bet a regression analysis of the county-level data would show that population density and vaccination rate together account for almost all of the variance, with vaccination rate being the dominant factor. Since vaxx rate is itself partly a function of population density (urban tends to be liberal tends to vaxx at a higher rate) it might well be that the population density effect disappears almost entirely once vaxx rate is controlled for.

As Geert Vanden Bossche has explained it, these highly vaxxed people are producing antibodies that can bind, but not neutralize their infections, hence, these antibodies actually promote infection by leaving the spike in an open confirmation position, allowing it to more easily bind with ACE2 receptors. The same antibodies that are causing mild-ish disease in the upper respiratory tract are also currently not permitting cell to cell fusion (“trans- fusion”) in the lower respiratory tract. Meanwhile, infection rates are very, very high and the virus is having ample opportunity to select mutations that will help it overcome the suppression of cell to cell fusion in the lower respiratory tract. Once the virus crosses this “valley of fitness” and is able to form syncytia and infect very well cell to cell in deep lung, folks, the fat lady will be about to sing and all of us unvaccinated folks will be blamed mightily and better run for the hills. Even though it won’t be one iota our fault, but rather the fault of the mass vaccination promoters! Ugh. Get yourselves ready to be scapegoated once again. I wish I could see that NOT happening, but seeing how we have been treated up to now… (abominably), it doesn’t look promising.

You're right about that. A second wave of scapegoating is on the way. Look at what they're doing in Canada: https://viralimmunologist.substack.com/p/fiction-disguised-as-science-to-promote?utm_source=%2Fprofile%2F60901543-dr-byram-w-bridle&utm_medium=reader2&s=r

Kind of stunned to learn New Hampshire changed its definition of covid hospitalization. So in the category of major definitional changes to suit the public health/political narrative we now have: 1) Changed def of pandemic by WHO (ok, it happened a few years ago; 2) Changed def of vaccine by CDC; 3) Changed def of what it means to be sick (positive reading from a dubious test; 4) Changed def of cause of death (of vs with covid); Changed def of hospitalization to no longer mean simply being hospitalized. I’m sure I’m missing something but this is gettIng pretty crazy.

It'd be difficult to find a term that HASN'T been changed, or a traditional rule (e.g. ethical suggestions for informed voluntary consent) or standard (e.g. traditional testing methodologies and studies that don't look to be ethically compromised even to layman observers!) that was NOT violated, sidestepped or ignored, often with the plea that it was an "emergency." We now live in a world where official public health sites openly use terms like "pregnant people" or "birthing person." Is it really a surprise, then, that old standards are out the window? New normal? Not for me.

regarding a map of booster rates, I pulled data from covidactnow which has a column for additional doses of covid (doesn't show 3rd, 4th, 5th booster, just an additional dose). When I ran an x/y chart - it's something on the order of slope of .5 with high R^2. Places that got the vaxxed in the first place got boosted, places that didn't didn't.

Expand full comment

Which logically follows - you can't get boosted without the original shots...

I live in the Upper Left, out in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, where masking in public indoor spaces, in one’s car while alone, and even masking up while hiking on the beach is still the reality for the majority of people. Our county has the highest infection rate in the state, perfectly aligning with our very high compliance rate for the poke. Kids are no longer required to wear masks to school but must still be tested before sporting events and even last night’s prom. It seems that every time someone sneezes they test, test, test. Having Covid now is a badge of honor, like you’re finally taking one for the team… businesses run gofund me campaigns when one of their staff tests positive so that they can close for ten days and not lose revenue… restaurants still want proof of the poke in order to eat inside… the social pressure to wear a mask is worse now than ever before… I swear, we’re living in The Twilight Zone. Thanks for keeping us unvaxxed Gen Xers who still live here a little bit sane.

el gato malo, I can't seem to get the link to be exact or to post a screen shot.

The booster map you are looking for is on the same page as the vaccinated map you show above. They have 3 options tabs: Fully vaccinated; Fully vaccinated, 65+; Boosted.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine-doses.html

There is also a percentage table further down the page on the NYTimes interactive.

Also this percentage table:

https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/pharmacy/states-ranked-by-booster-rates.html

Hope this helps. No surprise, the highest fully vaccinated areas are also the highest boosted. Where I am in Boulder, CO the boosted rate is 50%, 87% for age 65+!!!

My anecdote tangentially related - after getting the initial two-shot regimen last spring (ugh) I suddenly became VERY susceptible to severe reactions to poison oak and poison ivy, which had never happened before and I've gardened here my whole life. I could barely work in my garden last year even it was just relentless. I ended up having to get on prednisone and still it took weeks to clear. This year I just went for it, I don't know, I couldn't help myself - I've been gardening and clearing brush like normal. No problems at all. And I AM seeing ivy and pulling it up! So ... interesting?

Expand full comment

Something cheap and simple to try: I used to get horrible poison oak reactions. In fact I live in one of the few areas of the country without such plants because I could never go out in the woods again if I didn't.

I used to keep raw, plain kombucha around because I was making it. I found (after doing the prednisone thing a couple of times) that applied topically it would soothe the itch and dry the rash up in a day or so. I think the key though is having access to the real stuff, my last bout with poison ivy (made worse by enforced mask wearing on a plane on the way home did not respond to commercial kombuchas, which are diluted. Perhaps a health food store, or a visit to the Happy Herbalist? https://www.happyherbalist.com/kombucha/

Good luck! Those rashes are horrible and keep getting worse as you continue to get sensitized.

Very curious that an allergic reaction would vanish. Totally unrelated to COVID decades ago my first rash from poison ivy in my 40's with many prior exposures. Since the first time it has been seemingly effortless to get a rash just by looking at the leaves. Very odd indeed.

Expand full comment

I had a very bad exposure, even swelling around my eyes, as a result of getting at a ball while under a barbed wire fence. It seemed to take over and at the time (1949, I was 9) only alkaline baths helped. It seemed to return every summer if I just looked at the weed. Finally went away but sometimes even plain or salt water can create short term hives. I think the allergic reaction can persist although I'm told it can't. Hope my two vaccine shots haven't changed anything too much.

Expand full comment

it is strange right? btw I didn't mention this is with wearing gloves of course like a normal person! I'm never sticking my bare hands in the ivy. but last spring/summer I got it anyway - and bad. this time around (thank GOD) no problems at all, and of course it's worse here b/c I let it go last year (necessarily).

Something that occurs to me: with all the vaxxed ppl with weakened immune systems does it make it more likely that "rare" diseases like monkey pox become more prevalent?

And

Shingles is a related pox (but not in the same genus or something) and there are piles of ppl getting shingles after vaxxing - each time they vax even though the have been inoculated with shingrix. So their weakened immune system lets those dormant and suppressed things come to life.

Final and

I wonder how many ppl getting monkey pox have been jabbed for COVID.

Check out the BC CDC dashboard, you may get very similar data. 91% of deaths in the last month are jabbed. This was predicted by GVB, and ignored by all health authorities, media, government, and brainwashed KARENs.
