A couple people expressed a bit of a siege mentality. One going off on a Costco sample vendor and posting about it in a weirdly romanticized way, another suggesting in reply that they were going to conceal carry because of anti-maskers. Then in spite of them being dealt with by mods we had so many pages of litigating if the thread should even exist and people threadshitting.

And the thread was old anyway and they're apparently doing it to other megathreads. :shrug:

imo the "reduce waste" solution is to give your staff elastomerics, and its cheaper in the long run too

San Antonio hospital could have an answer to the PPE crisis-- elastomeric masks

It's disappointing that people are so hard on elastomerics, because they work really well and they don't break the bank over several years the way disposable masks do

we can reduce waste even more by not doing that either

A bit ago someone said something to the effect of "we've known for the vast majority of this pandemic that covid is airborne." This is a clear indicator that even covid-cautious people still believe it is primarily spread by droplets. At least, I can't think of any other explanation.

it is still not accepted that COVID is airborne and will probably never be accepted. We have known for a long time that COVID is airborne but the entire discourse over the past 3 years has been to obscure and attempt to discredit this

5 Lies of the Pandemic


quote:



In an interview that Tony Fauci did with the New York Times in April of this year (2023), he seem bewildered by why the pandemic response, led by him, faltered, and failed. In the interview, he suggests that the failure was due to lack of compliance. Thus, he implies that if more people had just quietly complied to government mandates, the pandemic response would have had great success. We know the truth.[1]‍ The pandemic response failed because it was built on a tower of lies. Here are the most egregious.



LIE No. 1: THE VIRUS WAS NOT ENGINEERED

Early in the “pandemic,” scientists pretty much knew—as almost any molecular biologist would know—that this virus could not have “jumped” naturally from bats to humans. Viruses typically only “jump” between animals that are either very closely related or in continual proximity. Bats and humans are not closely related or in constant contact. More importantly, Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill have published research for decades which show that they have been developing chimeric coronaviruses.[2]‍ In their latest research, they claim, “we have developed a bat coronavirus, and we have engineered it to preferentially infect human lung cells.”

However, the government and media ignored the published science in favor of the narrative that a “spontaneous mutation” made a virus leap from bats to humans in one fell swoop. That doesn’t happen! Still, when scientists countered the unscientific narrative, public health officials and the media gaslit them and told us they were all crazy.

LIE No. 2: MASKS ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE

The government pushed masking and claimed it prevented viral transmission. Viruses are too small to be stopped by masks. If anything, mask-wearing increases the viral load in people because the mask causes people to constantly rebreathe the virus once they are exposed to it.[3]‍ In those that are ill, increasing amounts of virus accumulates on the outside of the mask, which the mask-wearer then touches and spreads. Further, mask-wearers are compromising their cardiovascular and respiratory health, as well as depressing the function of their immune system.[4]‍ Thus, mask-wearing in the general public would be expected to make things worse, not better.

Incredibly, the villainous idea was promoted that chronic mask-wearing is safe and does not cause harm. Long-term mask usage is a cardiorespiratory nightmare, putting undue stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems which can lead to serious cardiorespiratory events, such as stroke or heart attack.[5]‍ Mask-wearing depresses immune function, compromises oxygen delivery, and causes acidosis of the body. This combination passively facilitates the growth of cancer while rebreathing pathogens in the mask.[6]‍ Chronic mask-wearing has likely caused some level of brain damage due to chronic oxygen deprivation in children who have been wearing them for 6-8 hours per day for a couple of years.

LIE No. 3: THE “VACCINE” PREVENTS TRANSMISSION

The pharmaceutical companies and government public health officials knew from the very beginning that COVID-19 “vaccines” were never designed to prevent transmission of this virus. This is, of course, criminal because they mandated these pharma products for people to retain their jobs.

Employers were then lied to, being told that universal vaccination was necessary to reach herd immunity or to prevent transmission. However, you can’t reach herd immunity with a “vaccine” that does not prevent transmission. There are scientific studies that show that COVID vaccination did not even reduce the viral load. In fact, the vaccinated were found to have a higher viral load in their nose and throat than the unvaccinated. Thus, the vaccinated were more likely to spread COVID.[7]‍

LIE No. 4: THE COVID-19 POISONOUS JAB IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE

Studies show that protection from the COVID-19 jabs wanes, even in the lungs, after a matter of months. Further, the “vaccines” mis-train the immune system so that people become more susceptible to new variants in a way that makes them more likely to get ill—not from the variant that they were “vaccinated” against, but from all new variants that develop over time.[8]‍ Many of the people that were injected with the COVID-19 jab already had natural immunity from previous infection.[9]‍

These “vaccines” are not effective. They are dangerous. The increasing rates of stroke, embolism and heart attacks from vaccine-induced clots are alarming. In fact, the number of adverse events, including death, has been higher for COVID-19 “vaccines” than for all other vaccines combined over the totality of their collective history.[10]‍ Current VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) reports document over 35,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations due to vaccine injury. These gene transfer “vaccines” force the cells of the body to make a toxic, foreign, viral protein. This causes the immune system of the body to attack the tissues that are expressing the spike protein.[11]‍ The work of Dr. Ryan Cole demonstrates that this phenomenon is happening in the bodies of the vaccinated.[12]‍ The immune system then tries to destroy the foreign protein and the cells producing it, causing tissue damage and massive inflammation.

The CDC now admits that myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) is an adverse event caused by COVID-19 “vaccination.”[13]‍ The vaccine-induced myocarditis rates are now estimated to be between 1 in 43, and 1 in 100 for young men. That’s an astronomical rate for a complication! The heart damage is likely progressive. When the heart tissue makes the viral toxic spike protein, it will cause the immune system to attack the heart. Thus, this damage may be progressive and much of the damage done to the hearts of young males may not be obvious yet.[14]‍ This is because an 18-year-old heart or a 25-year-old heart can take a lot of damage.[15]‍ Many young people may be living with heart damage that will not manifest until their system is very stressed, such as when we see athletes suddenly falling out on the field.

We are also seeing a massive rate of menstrual problems and infertility. Fertility rates are down 25 percent in some countries. This during a time when people were locked down in their homes and working from home, when one would think this would result in more babies.

We are also seeing a fetal demise rate that’s absolutely astronomical! According to the work of Dr. James Thorp, the fetal demise (stillbirth) rate is generally very stable, at around 6 children per 10,000 live births. In the U.S, this rate spiked to around 20-30 stillbirths per 10,000 live births following the inception of the “vaccine” campaign.[16]‍ In Canada, where they had “vaccine” mandates, stillbirth rates as high as 160 fetal deaths per 10,000 live births are being seen.

LIE No. 5: CHILDREN NEED TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19

It appears that the promotion of these “vaccines” to children was to get them on the CDC’s Childhood Vaccination Schedule so that the pharmaceutical companies could maintain immunity from liability once the EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) expired. It was a complete lie that kids needed to be “vaccinated.” Even though the COVID death rate in children is essentially zero, some places are mandating it for school.

Not only were the “vaccines” NOT tested for their impact on infertility and cancer, but adverse events reports are also showing that both of these conditions may be associated with the COVID-19 “vaccination”.[17]‍ Yet, many are giving this to children that have the rest of their lives ahead of them. It is dangerous to give the COVID-19 “vaccine” to children. If they get cancer or myocarditis or infertility, it is going to destroy their lives.

No serious physician is going to be recommending Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. You should of course find a different doctor if your current ones say that. You should also report them to their board as no competent doctor should be prescribing those as a current course of care. Prescribing those is absolutely not the current guidance of any of the large medical associations. But if a doctor tells you Paxlovid is unnecessary for you then that is not wrong advice!

You and everyone else in this thread are NOT health care professionals. To use this idea that some tiny percentage of doctors have told you to do the wrong thing and thus take that as a talking point for "all physicians are bad and you should second guess every one" like you are saying here, is completely ignorant and dangerous. These "jokes" are the poo poo that needs to change culture wise in this thread.
