The UK just announced their Autumn/Winter plan, the big change it that they'll be rolling out a Pfizer booster for "over-50s, younger adults with health conditions and frontline health and care workers" starting next week

So, boosters will be offered to some people, kids 12-15 will be added to the vaxx rollout, no vaxx mandate, no lockdowns, masks not currently required but they might be reinstated in some places if things get bad, vaccine passports will be optional for businesses and if things get bad they might be used for mass events. I don't think that'll be satisfying to anyone, the open-'er-uppers will think it's too much and the shut'em'downers will think it's too little.

Guess i'm in with a chance of a third shot then (over 50), my first two were AZ.... lets see what happens. :cthulhu:

Here's the study that set it all off: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8142857/

A Goon doctor has already reported seeing a whole bunch of young covid patients who have turned up to the ER absolutely slathered in coconut oil

How much is 45ml, like a teaspoon?

I've been around nature hippies and for a while I tried using coconut oil as a supplement, a lil' teaspoon every day or every other day, I can't say I felt any better or worse. It didn't seem to hurt. Oh yeah, it made me poo poo my pants once, boy that oil runs through you.

So if it's just drinking some coconut oil, it seems pretty harmless compared to the horse paste, and if it actually helps against viruses (they mention HIV in the study), boy that would be great!

I don't feel like reading the whole study so if anyone else can say whether it's a good study or not, I'm listening.

One thing I've learned during the pandemic is that ANYONE can publish any kind of study, and particularly preprints should be considered trash until thoroughly reviewed.

Note that even if the study is 100% bulletproof, it involved people eating the coconut oil, not lubing themselves up with it.

I mean, there's no reason you can't do both, but still.

I don't know about harmless, doing a shot of coconut oil is about the same thing as eating half a stick of butter, not really something the average American needs to add to their diet

if someone's planning to get fat and die of COVID in a few months anyway, I guess heart congestion isn't really worth worrying about

You could also eat/drink a cup of coconut oil to replace your daily caloric intake and cure covid at the same time.

it's good that they're doing this through proper channels, I used to make a drug that still isn't approved for kids but had off-label use in them specifically because there were case studies of administering it in thousands of mg doses daily to prevent kids whose bone marrow transplants were failing due to fungal infections, and it brought them back from the brink and as far as I know they are still alive; however, they still really don't know how safe it is in children just because they saved some people's lives (it is not safe for anyone, and the novel part of it only makes it a bit safer for everyone in re: hepatotoxicity and renal toxicity, it's an antifungal) because they still aren't really doing child studies. That's not who it is for.

They used to have drive-through testing centers all over the place. Don't know if any exist in your area.

Where I live, you pick up your self-test in an outdoors area next to my local primary care clinic, then return after swabbing yourself to drop the sample in their testing inbox.
