Whatever helps the simple minded feel better I guess.
Promoting a drug that was made originally for cancer treatment... I’m sure that’s going to be very cheap to produce and probably going to be donated, right? Right?!
Just look at Remdesivir. Gilead is selling it for a 50,000% markup, and it doesn't even work.
Well to be fair, a box of kleenex could get you through a bout of covid unless you are really old with comorbidities.
You mean its not toilet paper? People were going Mad Max with toilet paper for nothing SMH.
Ps. At least that incident had some use, my wife finally admitted that if people are that crazy for toilet paper imagine how crazy they'll be for food. Now she has no more qualms that we own guns.
You're telling me, a few weeks ago I told her I'm going to head over to J&J arms just to brows and maybe pick up ammo, she told me she was going to come along with me that "she might also have shopping to do in the area". Yep, those crazy hoarders fighting over toilet paper and filling pickup trucks full of it really red pilled the hell out of her.
I read something interesting that toilet paper was psychologically an attractive thing for people to hoard because of its physical size, it being large made them feel like they were doing more or more prepared.
Toilet paper should be the least of your priorities in an apocalypse, you can wipe with a leaf but you can't eat the tree.
Lol, I just made that up, it actually sounds like a real quote.
Oh %100 it makes no sense, I imagine in the apocalypse I’d trade a case of toilet paper for a pop tart.
That was so weird, all the folks with a butt hose were laughing!
Oh yeah, I’m in that group, $25 bidet from amazon has kept my ass sparkly for 2 years and still running fine.
I had previously used the phrase "pussy phone," but I like butt hose too.
Plus the color :)
(The anti-white racism and prejudice are having a backlash effect)
People will be quoting you during the next scamdemic 100 years from now.
They mindlessly hoarded the wrong paper this whole time!
Guns don't stop fire.
Prepare for everything.
I worked at a hospital that charged kleenex as "mucus removal" and charged a ridiculous markup for them.
I don't remember the tp, but people would come in and steal it a lot. I do remember the $1000 screws used for hip and knee replacements.
Some of those don’t even work right. My brother broke his arm last year and had a rod with screws put in. He just had to have another surgery because the screws failed and his arm started swelling up again.
His surgeon says the new screws he put in should be good for anything up to being hit by a truck.
Fauci AZT Playbook really hasn't changed has it.
HCQ historical tidbit:
1997 and 1999 AIDS studies of Chloroquine found it reduced AIDS viral load >90%.
Fauci really is the Grim Reaper of the Gates depopulation crowd.
Remember Hydroxychloroquine is bad like the Orange Man!
True statement
Meaning "not at all" bad
The judge in PA rules Gov. Wolf’s shutdown to be unconstitutional and some of the local news articles have majority comments saying “omg I’m scared for my family”, “they are just trying to save us all!!!” and “we’re all going to die”. These people are truly brainwashed into thinking this is the worst plague to beset mankind. These are the people that frighten me because they are the ones that will turn and vote for firing squads for people who don’t tow the line for “the greater good”.
Dude, I know a guy in PA and he was a normal, decent guy. Has a wife and a few kids. Now he's convinced that Chyna Virus is going to kill him and everyone he knows and he's willing to sell everyone's rights along with his own.
Same. I know a decent amount of people who I had always assumed were rational people just based on my interactions with them. Turns out - all of the media hype, fear-mongering, and brainwashing has permanently ruined them. They really believe that if we don't have a vaccine for this soon that we will all succumb to the CVirus and mankind will end.
I stopped at a Dollar General a few weeks back (in rural Western PA) and there was a young lady who came into the store and did not have a mask on. A man, probably in his mid-to-late 60s came up to her screaming about how she was going to "KILL US ALL!!!". He was literally shrieking at this lady in the middle of the store and started to threaten her. The entire time she was crying and pleading over and over again that she had asthma and anxiety and couldn't wear a mask.
This has to end.
The real virus is the one that attacks the mind.
Maybe the should listen to their progressive idol FDR: "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself."
Nah I forgot they hate him now cause he was a white male.
But he was crippled by polio so he gets back some points and massively expanded the feds so lots of points there.
I thought you were going to say "he's convinced that Chyna Virus is going to kill him and everyone he knows and he's willing to proactively kill his family and himself in order to prevent it."
He's gone insane but not that insane. At least I hope not.
Fucking insane.
I think we know the same guy!
I feel like we all know someone like this. I mean, it's like watching the Weimar Republic and seeing everyone around you joining the party and you're the one guy thinking "This shit ain't right."
One coworker, my parents, siblings and my wife seem to be the only ones who haven't bought into the madness.
One other coworker I know hasn't left her house for months.
Wait wait.... Is this Covid neutralization, or all coronavirus.... Did Trump just move us forward into neutralizing the common cold?
Holy fucking shit
Trump brings and end to global war and human trafficking, creates Middle East peace, cures cancer via Right to Try, cures the common cold via COVID-1984, heals the country's racial divide via prison reform and urban renewal, sends men to Mars, and creates the strongest economy of any nation in world history....while being illegally investigated and wrongfully impeached by the side who actually DID the shit he was investigated and impeached for.
We could have lived a thousand lifetimes and never witnessed a man like this
He's singlehandedly redefining what it means to be an effective, successful human being in service of others in a way no other human has done in the past 2,000 years.
Corona colds, Parvo for dogs maybe too. But we’ve still got the good ol’ rhinovirus to expect yearly.
If they've found it for one, they can find it for others. If it's a narrowly focused treatment, though, they may have to wait until a "common cold" coronavirus outbreak to look for what would work. And note that only about 40% of "colds" are caused by coronaviruses.
A bigger issue is whether it would be worth it. Medical research isn't cheap. How much are you willing to pay each year to avoid a few days of sniffles?
A lot. As a father and husband, sniffles cost me a ton.
Of course it’s a good thing. Yes, COVID is blown out of proportion, but it is still not something you should just ignore completely.
It'll be discredited by big pharm that has too much money to lose. They'll push for a mandatory vaccine, then when everybody is asking when the masks can come off, they'll say you need a booster.
I can't believe people are still wearing masks.
You make it sound like a few idiots still are. Here, it's basically everyone but my wife and me.
Don't need legislation if you shame businesses to comply.
I managed to find a donut shop in my area that was owned and operated by old timers who weren't wearing masks. My wife and I went in without ours, but all of the other customers had theirs on. People have already been trained like monkeys to wear them without being told.
I've told my wife, I will only wear it if they have signage forcing me to. And even then, I'll probably take it off once inside.
The only places near me that don't force the masks on you are the auto repair shops. Most of the small ones are based in my experience.
That’s one of two places where a dudes actually asked me to put one on...
More like threaten.
In MN we have a mandatory mask policy. Still. My son has to wear one to school. To his part-time job. He is getting a face rash and struggles to breath after several hours masked up. It is not healthy. It makes no sense masking up healthy teens.
Look into "mask mouth."
I feel like if i type that in ddg it will give me some intresting results. Can you give a quick run down
Dentists are reporting that people's teeth are rotting at an accelerated rate now due to the moisture and bacteria conditions within a constantly masked mouth. It's named after meth mouth.
Meth mouth is from dehydration mostly, right?
Some people have a tendency to breath through their mouth while wearing a mask. Mouth breathing reduces saliva, which is particularly bad if you have periodontal disease. If you have to wear a mask for an extended period of time, breath through your nose and remember to stay hydrated. If breathing through your nose causes your breath to go into your eyes, your mask is not fitted properly.
If that's the case, just pull it down under your nose. No one will give you any crap about it. Since this whole panic is made up anyway, there's no "right way" to wear the stupid thing.
Thanks
I saw that! Gross. I guess dental health is not a priority for Governor Walz.
So sad. We are in NC with a fascist governor as well. No kids yet though.
I am sorry NC has so many liberals moving in and ruining the state. I hate to see beautiful NC turn into Minnesota.
Don't worry, we are taking it back!
My neighbor gave me a couple of masks made out of this thin, stretchy material that is opaque but feels like I'm not wearing anything. It changed my life.
If they don't end this mask policy soon (and Walz won't) I will have to look for something like this for him.
Thanks!
Same here. Although I am starting to see a few more brave souls at the grocery store without a mask now. But 2 weeks ago it was really just me and my wife in every store.
One agency head, and an astroturfing media with all you need these days!!
Yep. I feel like I'm the last person holding out where I live. I tried a new church on Sunday and was kicked out of church for not wearing a mask (I left my last two churches this year for promoting BLM). I've been deeply disappointed with my country and the church this year. I cannot find a church that won't promote BLM or require a mask. Apparently that's too much to ask.
Online services maybe?
Yes, but I believe we are commanded to not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing. To me personally, online services don't do that command justice. I was always prepared for persecution, but I was not prepared for the church to so fully become a part of the problem so quickly.
That’s true
I like how you worded that. I think this is a indicator of the health of the Church itself (generally speaking). Better to find out how unhealthy it is now then later when it really counts. As long as we actually motivate ourselves to fix it.
Turns out that you can be a dictator in this county if you can make people believe that there’s a disease to be afraid of.
Online services maybe?
I feel like the lone wolf everywhere I go. I’m the only one not wearing a mask. It pisses me off so much. I’m in a red state! I know that the men I see in masks must be Trump supporters. I thought conservative men were Alpha. Take off your masks! I’m a woman. I shouldn’t have to do the fighting on this issue, but it looks like it will have to be me.
I don't get it either. I'm in SC. I feel like I was seeing more people not wearing them a couple months ago. It feels good NOT wearing one. I had a guy who I can only assume was a Republican start talking to me about the NFL yesterday. As in, it was clear he watched some or all of the games.
I heard somebody say, 'kids are gonna think this is normal" referring to the masks and government control. So I don't wear it not only for myself but so a kid can see publicly somebody not complying with government overreach. Maybe that's silly, but maybe not.
I’m in SC, too. Just before Best Buy went Level 10 stupid, I had to go in. The table was set up for masks, but I didn’t get one. A man came in with his son behind me and said “Trump better win so we don’t have to do this anymore”. I told him just don’t wear it. He said he was doing it for his son to be a good example. I don’t tell people how to raise their kids, but he really fucked up. He should explain to his kids how individual liberty works and how to be above the influence blah, blah, blah... On a similar note, Joe Wilson, US representative, was shaking hands at our polling station years ago and I had my son, would have been 8ish, with me. My son was excited to meet him and said “I hope I made a good impression on him.” I told him of course he did, but it’s Joe Wilson’s job to make a good impression on us because we are his boss and it’s Joe who has to answer to us not us to him. That’s a long winded way of me saying that it’s not silly to think of children. The masks are creepy.
I like Joe Wilson. I've sat in on a couple of his town hall phone calls. Good guy.
I'm in SC, too, but my city has mandated them in any business. I never wore one until the mandate, and don't want to wear one, bit if I don't, all I'm really doing is forcing some poor employee to argue with me, because they have no choice, otherwise the government might start messing with the business. They might not agree, I know I don't agree, but I'm not going to make their day worse because of some stupid mandate that neither of us created or wanted.
I just hope that we can push through legislation to prevent any of this rights destroying bullshit from ever happening again. The lockdowns, the mask mandates... All of it.
No one argues with me about it. And the whole point is that you can not wear a mask for any reason. Health, religious. My religion is not bowing down to government.
I like that religion. Do you have a pamphlet?
I'm forced to by my job. And there's an unconstitutional 500 dollar fine for not wearing one, but I can't fight it because I don't have the money for a Komatsu dozer and an AR500 steel shell.
Job is a different thing. I’m talking more about personal time.
Killdozer reference?
Of course. The man's a hero.
Lol which means if anybody gives you shit for not wearing a mask you'll trigger every simp in a 10 mile radius to defend you. Men don't get that privilege
Thank goodness for Urban Dictionary. I had to look up "simp". I promise, I'm a simp for anyone getting shit for not wearing a mask. If they give you a hard time, Ill be right there for you and anyone else. (did I use the word in the correct context?)
My wife said that she instantly loses respect for any man she see's wearing a mask, especially around our age. It reminds me of soy face, a sign of submission
....
Because masks work?
The only way the virus transfers that we know atm is on droplets in the air, and the mask prevents that.
You're a real dumb ass, aren't you? If you get it, you probably won't notice. If you do notice, you'll probably live. If it gets uncomfortable, I suggest hydroxychloriquine. If none of this appeals to you, stay home. It's not my responsibility to keep you healthy.
You are spreading disinformation. More so, even if what you are saying was true it is fictional to suggest the population is largely wearing medical grade masks - they are not.

This is, of course, assuming the virus is an actual danger we need to care about. That’s the part that’s not true.
Unless we’re caretakers for the elderly and sick, the risk is functionally zero.
No one's suggesting you shouldn't be allowed to wear one if you want. Just don't tell the rest of us what we have to do. The symbol of the mask has become a tool of psychological oppression, a constant, pervasive reminder that we need to live in fear of the boogey man.
Cloth masks are functional for longer than brief contact, but shorter than long contact.
Short contact (a few minutes), the viral load is too low.
Long contact, the reduction in droplets is too low, so it doesn't matter.
So, for that time in between, the amount of time we rarely deal with people in stores, walking past people, that kinda stuff, they're mostly useless. Being next to someone all day, also useless.
Add in the fact that they cause people to touch their faces more, and that negates more of the benefit.
They protect you in the least common type of contact. If you're in that situation, sure wear one. Otherwise, they're not really helping.
Yesterday I got commented on by a mother for going into the indoor atm (small room about 3-5 people capacity) without a mask. It was nice out, if you’re so scared of rona wait in line outside.
You would think people would wait outside anyone when someone is using the ATM, just to be respectful.
Most have no choice, the institutions mandate it.
Or believe in "covid-19".
It's real but it's not that bad.
No, it's not.

Is there a way to get greed out of healthcare? Ive been pondering banning health insurance. It seems to me to be the root of our healthcare issues. Other insurances make sense because you may or may not need them. Health insurance at some point will be used. It turns it more into a ponzi scheme but this one everyone involved has their hands in everyone's elses pockets. A new top of the line MRI can cost close to 2mil but theres not 2mil worth of metal,plastic, electronics in these. They companies know the hospital will charge health insurance 7k a use and it goes on from there.
Privatize it. Health care is not a human right.
I’m done w masks
Fuck them I’ll fight this in court
It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not because discovering gold didn’t mean we could produce enough to give everyone.
Never trust the wild claims of a scientist. I would know, I am one.
Especially in the biological sciences, where the truth is stretched longer than a DNA molecule.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I will not be getting any vaccine or injection of "antibodies."
At the end of the day we are all 'scientists' driven by the same thing all humans respond to.
I wonder how many already have this 'antibody' through other responses.
'The Herd'
Truth over qualifications.
Caution over optimism.
Nothing over "something."
The above counters O'Biden's 'truth over facts' all day.
COME ON, MAN!
"Science is skepticism" is I what I heard a scientist say in a documentary a long time ago...
Obviously, Science is consensus, because consensus brings in the grant money
If you are truly a skeptic and have kept your job as a scientist, you are doing quite well. This doesn't apply as much to astrophysics because the field is not human-centered like biology.
But there is a lot of gate-keeping and circle-jerking in astrophysics. I have colleagues (not friends) that have worked on a single system their entire career, mainly because it's their safe space. If they had to produce clever and original ideas to keep their jobs, half would be gone the first week.
I've taken the long road of learning new things in order to remain relevant across a multitude of fields. Probably it has cost me a bit more time, but that's okay.
Fucking chicoms have people inserted everywhere and we act surprised every single time they turn out to be spies
Cantonese and Taiwanese are usually cool
Remember the days of reddit when /r/futurology would have a front page post nearly every day claiming that “scientists have discovered X drug or plant that completely cures cancer”? It’s all bullshit.
I did not visit reddit very much, and never visit now, but I have seen some extraordinarily stupid posts from that sub.
wE cAn bE gOdS reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Very low energy.
Are you still in academia? I didn't get tenure ten years ago and count it as a blessing every day. How much worse is it nowadays?
Yes, working my way through the sewer pipes still.
I could probably get a job in data science for a private company and make at least twice as much as I am right now, but I have the 'tism and some of my autistic foci are black holes, gravitational waves, gamma-ray bursts, etc. so I am probably going to remain in academia. It's a blessed curse. I would be bored to tears in a "normal" job and it seems all the good data science jobs are held in dictatorial technocratic companies that are playing no small role in the destruction of humanity.
The communists are slowly infiltrating and causing irreparable damage to astrophysics. It's sad. When a large fraction of scientists became godless heathens, the field began its slow descent into degenerate nonsense. I must stay in and fight them with all of my being. That said, if they ever found out I have this account I am certain I would be cancelled immediately.
I view my job as an attempt to unveil a nano-fraction of the beauty of God's creation. Sadly, many have fallen from this ideal and view it as some sort of game or ultimately meaningless exercise in human ego stroking. They could not be further from the truth.
You were right to get out of academia. I try never to feel jealousy, but I must admit I feel it when I hear stories like yours. I think I can navigate my academic career and God-willing, I will be successful. But it's a lonely road. I know three other based astrophysicists, but most are insufferable lefty goons. I try to forgive them, but it is difficult.
To be clear, academia left ME and I don't think I'd have had the guts to have given up tenure ever. That's scary to me. On the other hand, I also had a bit of a problem keeping my mouth shut, especially in faculty meetings, so i don't know if tenure would have protected me these days. Good for you for keeping up the fight, best wishes, and thank you for the detailed reply!
Thank you! I am worried that one of these days I will say something totally normal (but terribly offensive to them) and be fired, but it hasn't happened yet. It's like working with a bunch of tattle-tale children though.
I do enjoy my job and I am happy to continue working to reveal more of the "secrets" of the universe.
I wish you well in your endeavors as well! Hopefully you are in a place that is not toxic like academia.
Ah....an (astro)physicist...
Can you describe more of your "leftist" experience in academia? there are other accounts of leftism.
This is one I saved

Male/Female Differences Science Cover-Up Controversy!
In astrophysics, I'd say the demographics are probably 85% lefty, 15% correcty, with a higher percentage of lefties if you slice out all the older folks. The current generation of astronomers is quite lefty.
I don't necessarily have any links to share, but if you spend enough time looking at the websites of different astronomy departments, journals, professional groups, etc. you will find all the Marxist intersectionalism you would never want and more. As a whole, the field is quite white (not that anybody should care, I don't) so the commies love to have meetings and events about "_____ in astronomy" where _____ is your favorite intersectional bullshit (queers, women, people who were previously referred to as black but now must be referred to as POC to avoid the PC police, etc).
Since when does something so shallow like skin color or other factors that you cannot change, like sex, determine how you can solve complex technical problems?
Hint for all the degenerate lefties: those things cannot determine your quality as a scientist.
As a summary, I'd say the field is moving along nicely but the commies are encroaching and soon it'll be impossible to get away from them, much like in the social "sciences."
I believe Stefan Molyneux has pointed out that around 90% of scientists are liberal.
I saved an old article from a post that said 85% were liberal based on it

Yup. The problem becomes worse when the based scientists are unable to speak up because they will be cancelled. Some have done it, and basically every one that has was fired.
Not a good feeling. I have to bite my tongue and walk on eggshells around any university. It's absurd.
I find it incredibly hilarious that the so called party of science refuses to acknowledge natural selection when it’s staring at them in the face. You got bad immunity/comorbidities? You’re SOL. You got good immunity? Congrats you’re selected. And this is the way it should be

Fauci tomorrow: “Restrictions will continue even if coronavirus eradicated from planet.”
yep. It was never about the virus. It was always about Democrat's quest for power and control.
Rockefeller foundation, operation Lockstep
Coronavirus is angry because we are not taking care of mother earth. The virus will continue until Congress passes the green new deal and repent from our capitalist ways. If that doesn't work, we will sacrifice virgins.
Democrats already kill virgins in the womb.
"For at least X years."
Is this what they killed that researcher over?
That researcher was too research-ey. Can't have that.
This made me laugh quite hard. I love it. I am going to screenshot this, print it out, and look at it for inspiration.

Your local based astrophysicist/researcher
A few days after they announced a cure.
The Human immune system also neutralizes the virus in more than 99% of cases..
I would hereby like to nominate the human immune system as our single most trusted ally against all pathogens.
Yep, anybody with a functioning immune system is also producing "100% neutralizing antibodies" when infected by SARS-CoV-2. That is literally what the antibody "test" is for, it is detecting the antibodies a person made in response to the virus!
Coronavirus isn't usually deadly to those who don't have a compromised immune system and aren't elderly, it still can cause complications even in young people though.
THAT'S why people are supposed to wear masks, to protect the vulnerable.
The masks that normies are wearing don't do shit to stop the spread.
How can you be on this site and still spew this misinformed garbage?
Whether its for real or not, whatever it is will certainly kill you with 100 percent lethality according to CNN.
Shutdowns kill people too. Why don't we talk about that
And great depressions
Won’t matter, it’ll get dragged out back and shot cause we can’t have anything other than $3000 Remdesivir or Bill Gates vaccine.
Just tell me the fruit or vegetable I need to eat more of. That is all.
lol eat your damn veggies. Don't use veggies for protein though.
Serious question: How do you shit?
The last two times I tried this advice, I got constipated. I hated it.
No, I'm serious. What meat are you eating that keeps you from getting constipated?
Then what the hell happened with me?
I eat veggies, and this doesn't happen.
There are plenty of foods that have vitamin D and vitamin C. Meats and root vegetables.
Amazing that this discovery came out on the same day that the state it was discovered in was forced to reopen by the judicial system.
Exactly.
Dems are panicked because if the shutdown gets,, well, shutdown and no one dies, then the whole world knows they were full of shit.
On the other hand, if they can immediately pivot to a cure, then the average idiot will just believe that's why people stopped dying.
We can't let them keep getting away with this shit.
Vit C & D
And Zinc 😎
And egcg or quercetin 500mg if you're more vulnerable
You read my mind.
K2 and magnesium are in my regimen too. Not familiar with egcg
Paraphrasing Dr. Zelenko.. Zinc is the gun, and quercetin is the bullet. 🤙
Means nothing really. They don't call it a plandemic for nothing.
COVID-1984 gives them to much power and it ain't going anywhere for large sections of the world's population anytime soon.
By tomorrow the MSM will say it kills people or some stupid shit. People really have to stop thinking the virus is something the people actually in control of the world want to cure.
Spoiler alert they don't want to cure it and they don't care if you die from it. Just have to pray if you or a loved one gets it you don't get put in a socialist death hospital.
Nice, now we need something that cures communism.
The stocks...
That's been around for a while, it's just fucking expensive right now. Still, worth the price. Comes in many different varieties, I prefer the .45 and 5.7 versions myself.
Everyone seems to be ignoring this part. Isn't this how we got into this mess?
CHINAMAN! ABORT ABORT
Is it HCQ?
...and Zinc.
Vitamin C, Quercetin.
Flinstone chewable?
An antibody fragment (1/10 of an antibody) that “completely and specifically neutralizes” a virus -- calling it now, this is too good to be true. Also, everything works in mice. If they are only in mice and hamsters, how can they possibly have enough information to back up that claim for specificity?
I hope I'm wrong.
There has never been a successful RNA based vaccine. If this some how pans out, GEOTUS's Warp Speed initiative will be a scientific achievement on the level of discovering Penicillin.
👆
Almost undoubtedly too good to be true at this point in time, but it's still progress worth a pat on the back.
It's worth a pat on the back, but is wildly overstated.
Scientists love patting themselves on the back.
All scientific accomplishments are overstated to get more funding. It's just the way the field works.
100% agree.
It is like the saying that every college kid can cure cancer in a petri dish.
There it is, boys and girls. I’ve seen this fucking movie before. The miracle cure that stomps out the virus! Incoming zombie apocalypse.
Still an upgrade over the idiotic lockdowns.
I'm sure they would love to lock us down, permanently. The Rockefeller Lockstep.
Ok, so this is the real cure for Coronavirus that the Chinese killed that University of Pittsburgh Researcher for in the "Love" triangle suicide, yea right.
So this is what will go into the vaccine along with some other Trojan Horse that will debilitate the US Population more and make them susceptible to hypnotic suggestion.
Better stop watching TV and drinking all that water spiked with Halogens, such as Fluorine, and Chlorine. Those American test scores keep going down.

“Ab8 not only has potential as therapy for COVID-19, but it also could be used to keep people from getting SARS-CoV-2 infections,” said co-author John Mellors, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Pitt and UPMC. “Antibodies of larger size have worked against other infectious diseases and have been well tolerated, giving us hope that it could be an effective treatment for patients with COVID-19 and for protection of those who have never had the infection and are not immune.”
Xianglei Liu of Pitt is also co-lead author of the study.
I would expect this needs to be employed prior to a cytokine storm, otherwise the cat is out of the bag, and its too late
This is great for people with immune systems that are weak enough to need an antibody but are not able to produce it themselves.
For most people the body doesn’t even bother with an antibody because it’s not even much of a threat. The body just rejects it. Done deal.
Didn’t some kid at U of Pitt die somewhat recently after finding a breakthrough medical treatment? Suicide IIRC.
That's a big relief, that 98.4% chance of survival from covid always scared me. Cardiovascular diseases, or diseases of the heart and blood vessels, are the leading cause of death. However, their prominence is not reflected in our perceptions of death nor in the media.
While the death toll for HIV/AIDS peaked in 2004, it still affects many people today. The disease causes over 2,600 daily deaths on average.
Terrorism and natural disasters cause relatively very few deaths. That said, these numbers can vary from day to day—and year to year—depending on the severity of each individual instance.
Can we find the silver bullet for death, can a computer nerd muster up enough patents to obtain the billions in profits that he lust after?
More like 99.9% survival chance.
no idea what that means
Treatment to be banned until Biden is inaugurated in 3... 2... 1...
Can't have that though. It doesn't come in the form of Bill Gate's vaccine.
Do not give a fuck. You know what else "neutralizes" this common flu? Literally fucking everything.
I'm done wearing a fucking muzzle so the elites can keep us scared an compliant.
I wear a mesh ventilator mask that basically does nothing (all guts removed) just so businesses I frequent don't have to have their employees bother me and get in trouble with the stupid blue state I'm in. The mask basically does nothing. I respect business owners. Otherwise, no mask for me! My girlfriend just wears a vale. It's legal and totally useless. Fun though.
Globalist commie fascists Marxists suck.
Zinc and sunshine. How about that libtards. Smarter than these brainwashed "scientists"
But, but, splutter sunshine's free!
Reeeeeeeeee!
Better make it illegal. Unless its retardedly expensive, that is.
Wasn’t there a strange and sketchy suicide murder at Pitt U earlier this year centered around CV and a cure?
This is suggesting that the coronavirus is real.
I live in Pitt... This is great. But there isn't money in the Cure!
Whelp, time to move the re-opening goal posts again.
Wow, top comment takes the good news and makes it a negative. How fucked up are we?
We have been gaslighted, invalidated, devalued, discounted, discarded, disappointed, disillusioned, disenchanted, disenfranchised, and quite possibly, demoralised, for so long that the red pill soured to black for many.
