I don't want to blame the victims here, but people: STOP GETTING TESTED. I don't care where you live. Just stop it. And contact tracing? Just say no.

Stop getting tested! Then covid goes away. No cases = no fear = no urgency for anything stupid anymore. And if you must get tested for work - just stick the PCR swab in your EAR instead. Or in your water bottle 😉. Let’s give these malicious lying government scoundrels a dose of their own medicine.

I opted my kids out of testing here in CA. Actually 1/3 opted out. Abs that’s in the Bay Area! No testing for us.

Except when you have to do a monitored test. My company is requiring us to use the Abbot BinaxNow test which is a "telemedicine" test - have to use a video camera and be monitored taking the test. < Insert sounds of fury and rage here! >

STOP complying on all levels. Had no one worn an effing mask in the first place last year, this would have stopped in its tracks. Frog - meet water.

Aussie men need to grow backbones and stand up for their families and friends. Only cowards give up their guns to gov.

So, I (shamefully) watch Love Island Australia. (I know. Judge me if you must…*I* would.). The most current season features the most collective, emotional, vain young people I’ve ever seen. The men are pussified and the women are…superwomen? I keep waiting for one of the guys (all super-buff/physically fit) to drop dead of heart attack or stroke from the vax they all must’ve taken (though I don’t wish it on any of them).

In any case, I think it’s pretty clear what’s happening: western kids have been slowly conditioned into collectivist simps through programming. The US isn’t far behind.

Thank you Ki. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see this masking cult as a HUGE part of this whole thing. It breeds fear, suspicion, distrust of one's neighbors and even family. It MUST stop. By the same token, if someone wants to wear their security blanky *voluntarily* than go for it. Just don't advocate for others to do the same. I truly don't care what someone does *for themselves*. Just leave me out of it!

More worryingly it breeds compliance and outgroup othering.

A-freaking-men. Just a little pushback is all it would've taken. As cynical as I was when this started, I never imagined there would be such overwhelming compliance to such obvious bullshit.

Prior to a test…

1. Spray your nose with nasal spray.

2. Brush your teeth

3. Use mouthwash

My son who gets tested every two weeks at college was told not to do any of these prior to taking a test.

BTW, use Xlear for the nasal spray. It obliterates the virus. You're welcome.

Expand full comment

I bought 3 boxes of xlear. Took awhile to find. As a first line of treatment it is supposed to work since covid starts in the nasal passages first. According to xlear website they claim it is very effective.

Expand full comment

I might be crazy, but I use a nebulizer with a peroxide/iodine/saline solution (really low concentration - must read extensively to be safe with this approach - 3% food grade only). I do it for 20 min on days I feel exposure exists. No ill effects.

Expand full comment

Dr Levy's protocol. I wonder how much of the benefit he's seen is due to thinning out the herds in the nasal passages? He recommends inhaling through the nose a lot.

The flccc.net group suggest a 1% povidone-iodine for gargle & nasal rinse. I find using the 0.1% H2O2+saline solution as a nasl rinse much easier to take although both are disgusting LOL. There is a good number of studies showing the povidone-iodine works post exposure.

I've tried my nebulizer out a couple times but prefer just gargle and snort.

Expand full comment

Not crazy at all. Bought a nebulizer. Have yet to use it. Have friends who have with great results.

Expand full comment

LOL, it's nice when they spell out for you how to pass the test!

Expand full comment

Been a daily neti pot user (saline) for years. I use Xlear as needed for sniffles/sinusitis. Recently I started a dilute (1%) hydrogen peroxide + a drop of iodine snort just for the heck of it. This last is "off label" but I note that both those products are routinely used for minor cuts and (in H2O2 case) routinely as a gargle/rinse. So how toxic can they possibly be, and at much lower dilutions and quantities than those "approved" uses?

Expand full comment

Also nebulizer hydrogen peroxide (food grade) iodine and a saline solution keeps your lungs clear.

mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride👍

Expand full comment

Does the Xlear dry your nasal passages out at all? Coz that would be really bad.

Expand full comment

I've used it twice now when I felt a cold coming on (sore soft palate that starts to creep down your throat). Both times Xlear knocked it out over night. I'm not claiming it will cure covid, but it's a good first response.

I have the nasal wash and the nasal spray. Neither dries out the nasal passages...quite the opposite. That being said, when you have an infection brewing, your nasal passages and sinuses are going to be more tender.

Appreciate the response.

It's good stuff. I have a stock pile. Try iHerb.com.

Australia is pretty isolated. I'll look locally first.

Some of the shelves in the states are looking like the Soviet Union. We found it locally, but had better luck through Amazon (I know, I know).

Good to know re: Amazon. Thanks.

iherb is excellent for Aussies - shipping is reasonable cost & time, & they have a huge range of products!

Expand full comment

You've bought from them?

Expand full comment

In Australia, I mean? Our ports are backed up a bit like other countries, and deliveries are slow af at the moment, or have been.

Expand full comment

Yes, I live in Brisbane, buy from iHerb regularly. Just recently placed 3 orders about a week apart each - each took about 8 days to get here. AusPost tends to be very slow, but the iHerb stuff was shipped via DHL.

Looks like Xlear is just xylitol in a saline solution - you could make it yourself very cheaply!

Expand full comment

The ingredients are...Purified Water, Xylitol, Saline, Grapefruit Seed Extract.

Grapefruit Seed Extract is the antiviral ingredient.

Xylitol has antibacterial properties.

Expand full comment

The product pages state that the grapefruit seed extract is just there as a preservative. Presumably it does have some anti-bacterial/anti-viral properties, as a preservative, though the significance would depend on the amount (it is the last listed ingredient, which suggests a tiny amount - but hard to guess how significant this might be for the product efficacy).

Expand full comment

I don't find that to be the case. The dry northeast winters do a good enough job on their own. I apply coconut oil (on a q-tip) as needed.

Expand full comment

Are you using it as a preventative. I was planning to use it if I start to ever develop symptoms.

Expand full comment

I do use it after I'm around groups of people or when I have to travel as a preventative measure. Two sprays each side in the am and before bed. It's generally a good practice even against colds and flu, but I take care of myself, so just simple saline solution is good for everyday.

That sounds like good advice. Thank-you. Much appreciated.

My entire family just got very sick with (presumed) COVID. We didn't test. I agree with this comment. We can't play their game.

You can always check yourself at home with an antigen test.

Check the water.

I told my family and friends to stay out of the system unless it was an emergency. What is the benefit. Test later for antibodies if you must know.

Wish I could double heart that. :)

Expand full comment

Absolutely. The testing, "locking down", contact tracing, face diapers and permission slips ("exemptions") are ALL part of this. I say NO to it all. Please people, just go back to what you were doing before March of 2020. Can no one remember? We didn't do ANY of this. And back to the "testing"... first "virus" in history that you had to get tested for to see if you had it so you could go home and be terrified you were going to die for 2 weeks. Come on people. Please wise up. NO NO NO. You don't have to argue, you don't have to fight, you just have to be willing to be inconvenienced and maybe do without some things as you walk away saying NO. I can assure everyone that the inconvenience and dirty looks we may get now will pale in comparison to what is coming if we don't stop this. NO!!

Expand full comment

Whole family got it....had rapid antigen tests to confirm so we could be smart about our contacts and timing, but never took a test that would have put us officially on the radar. Took an antibody test after the fact just to have proof that might help my future exemption case with my employer. Binax Now test are $14 for 2 at Walmart.com

Expand full comment

interestingly enough...not available in canada. it's almost impossible to get an antibody test here as a dr. need sign off on the requisition (test costs $75), and dr's are actively discouraged from doing so by cdc. hm. odd, that.

Not surprised by that. The other day I googled where to get a vitamin D test to check the level of D and up came Health Canada website saying those tests are not necessary lol.

From the same people who say cycle threshold 45 on a PCR test is valid, there are no early treatments and natural immunity doesn't count. Riiiggght.

Expand full comment

How do those home tests work? What if you do stick the swab in your ear or a water bottle instead of your nose and then conduct the test? Is it going to give you a "negative" or does the test somehow detect nasal mucous to know that you did it correctly?

Asking for a friend. I would never try to trick my employer. :)

Expand full comment

Home tests are very simple.....swab. They aren't accepted generally for work/travel if self administered even though I believe they are identical to the rapid antigen tests used in testing centers. They're more for your own information so you know whether it's Covid or something else, and adjust your blast radius accordingly. They have negligible false positives, more false negatives as they are less sensitive than PCR, so if you test positive you can be pretty sure you've got it. The nice thing is you can know if you have Covid without putting yourself on the local health authority radar and having all the contact tracing BS. To be honest I've had colds and other viruses that were worse than my bout of Covid so the test was useful to confirm.....I was expecting to be a lot sicker. I did lose taste and smell so that was really the only marker other than the antigen test that it was something more sinister than a cold. Full disclosure, we did have a self treatment protocol that included supplements and and anti-parasitic that we aren't allowed to talk about so that may have helped bend the curve of severity in our favor.

I use Binax test to avoid wasting my supply of Ivm (took me 3+ weeks to arrive from Singapore!). ;-)

And again... having to show proof of health to work is tyrannical as hell. I guess I can see it if a business really thinks that's in their best interest and they decide that *without* government "mandates". I'm totally free market. As for me though.... I'd rather go shovel someone's sidewalk for 10$ and eat a top ramen.

Those tests are not acceptable for work or in lieu of a PCR.

My workplace accepts them. (I haven't tried one out yet because 99% of the time I'm allowed to work from home. But still I'm still curious how they work for that 1% of the time that I may need one.)

simple: swab both nostrils - NOT DEEP - then place inside a card where you put 6 drops of some fluid prior. Then close card. Wait 15-30 mins. If a second line appears, you're positive. All at home. NO ONE but you will know the results.

Expand full comment

positive for a

fragment of RNA

which may or may not be remnant of SCoV2

no symptoms no replication no illness no transmission

inhaled virions or fragments stick to your mucosa

trying to enter cells

only when they enter replicate and kill the cell to escape

are they numerous enough and free to be transmitted

Expand full comment

For your employer...do a nasal rinse before and after. Those nasty swabs are saturated with a toxic chemical. For just your own knowledge, just do the nasal rinse after to clean the crud on the swab out of your nostril. ;)

So here in north Texas my children’s HS no longer cares about co Vid cases. They say if you are sick, stay home. That being said my Sheeple neighbors son feels sick. Nothing big. But what do they do? They have him tested to which he was positive. They kept him out of school for two weeks. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m telling you these people would be the first to board the train if fauci told them to.

My friend is the same. Her son got the sniffles, and suddenly this requires a trip to the doctor, and another trip to a testing facility. She largely acknowledges it's a fraud, but she considers her youngest a weakling because he was premature (a now 17 year old, 220lb weakling). 2 years ago, all his symptoms would've entailed is a bowl of chicken soup. I didn't bother asking her how a positive test result would've changed anything.

Did you ask if he could come over and cough on your children?

So much this. WTF are people thinking getting tested. Nothing changes other than your incarceration.

The fact is Worldwide true virus pandemics were stopped in the twentieth century when we started building cities with running water, sewage systems, and garbage pickup. It had little do do with vaccines and more to do with cleanliness.

Expand full comment

The counter to this is that we also reduced our exposure to pathogens, meaning our immune system becomes pathogen naive, which actually weakens it.

Which is fine until a pathogen comes along that gets past the running water, sewage systems and garbage pickup, then we need to deal with it using an immune system that is not necessarily any longer evolving with the evolving pathogen landscape.

All this is moot, of course, when Fauci starts funding GoF research but uh... fck that guy.

Expand full comment

That might be true for waterborne diseases. But I'll have to call bullshit on you for one major pandemic: the Spanish Flu of ~1918. Millions dead. Unless I'm horribly mistaken, most of the civilized world's towns and cities had modern infrastructure well before then.

“Initially, the American medical community minimized the scale and scope of the influenza pandemic to create a false sense of security in the country’s largest cities, including Philadelphia [11]. Yet, this was an issue beyond the medical community; this was a public health crisis that brought to light urban environment deficiencies, namely the proliferation of municipal waste and unsanitary living conditions [51]. While not always well understood, the presence and threat of infectious diseases has shaped urban planning in the United States. During this early 20th century pandemic, urban environments in New York City, Chicago and other American cities were densely populated and characterized by crowded tenement housing in proximity to factories, animal yards, and slaughterhouses with little airflow or light [4,52]. Even before the 1918 influenza outbreak, cities were plagued with cholera, tuberculosis and typhoid epidemics [4]. Medical models, specifically the miasma theory, an idea that diseases were caused by a noxious form of “bad air”, prevailed, but there was also a sense that the congestion, pollution, lack of sunshine and poor airflow contributed to illness [4,52]. In response, urban planning efforts introduced zoning to spatially segregate residential, commercial and industrial uses and housing regulations to require light and airflow in order to improve overcrowding and unsanitary urban living conditions “

I got a few Binax home tests and have Ivermectin in stock, in case of positive tests.

Same here, but I took one dose of ivermectin today to get a jump on family gathering. Cautious with 40+ people. Second dose on Friday just to be safe.

I lived in Texas (Houston Metro area) for 5 months while my son attended school (in Oregon all schools were closed; online was the only option). After March 2021, I stopped wearing masks. We drove through 5 states, stopping at gas stations, convenience stores, rest stops, dining at restaurants, etc (2,500 miles) to get back home. No issues (only a mild cold at the end of our trip). During the summer, I attended about 5 rallies (against medical mandates) sans masks. I only shop in stores were masks are NOT mandatory. I'm 57 y.o. with past history of asthma. Able to control my health and minimize risks by taking my vit D3/K2 and vit. C daily. I also take other supplements (zinc, magnesium, etc.) every other day or so. I believe that breathing fresh air is absolutely essential to keeping a strong immune system. Make sure to check your vit D levels and keep them at optimal functional levels (50-80). Happy Thanksgiving!
