They already have it, I see it firsthand every time I'm in a hospital as of late. I don't know how some of them are pretending to be cheerful and enthusiastic when I'm there. Imagine working an essential life saving job and treating people who are convinced you don't know what you're doing. Or treating patients who are wondering why you won't approve using Ivermectin to treat covid. It makes me curious to wonder how many have left the field because they can't take it anymore.

I’m certainly not advocating Ivermectin, but we got here because around the world in 3rd world countries with terrible healthcare systems used it out of desperation and their cases plummeted. Case in point is India. I work with several teams in India daily…it was terrible there. There hasn’t been substantially research to say Ivermectin worked or any significant data, but this is how we got there. Ivermectin is actually prescribed for human use as well.

When it comes to treatment , the guy who got it right was Ronny D and his push for monoclonal antibodies. Extremely effective. Now we are seeing other states pushing for these sites to open and get in operation. This is a policy/operation strategy which should be adapted all over the country.

Two of the FDA's top vaccine regulators, Marion Gruber and Phil Krause, are leaving the agency

The Biden administration left a bad taste within the science community last month after officials said booster doses of the mRNA vaccines would be available for Americans starting Sept. 20, pending FDA evaluation of data.

But many vaccine researchers thought the Biden administration neutered the FDA by saying boosters were going to happen on a specific date, even though the FDA's review had barely begun.

Welp

Just funny when people pick and choose to believe in science. FDA approved vaccine? Fuck no. Horse dewormer? I'm all in. FFS.

Totally, I wouldn’t use something unless my doctor advised me. Period

Then I read today Joe Rogan…Apparently the biggest podcaster in the country…got covid…was apprehensive about the vaccine,but unknown if he got vaxxed. Announced he took a cocktail of different treatments including ivermectin and is better. Completely irresponsible IMO.

So this is how we got here…and continue to get there.

Folks listen to your doctor…always.

Pretty sure Rogan got the vax, but yeah the drug cocktail he said he got including a z pack? WTF is he doing?

I think a major blind spot in the covid strategy is development/access to home testing for covid. I can’t believe looking at all the money that states are literally sitting on unspent that no one has moved for comprehensive at home testing. We could work in coordination with pharmacy to disperse test and allocate medical facilities to handle results.

Also, with the delta variant affecting those under 18, I’d like to know what the schools and teachers union did with the billions in funding they received from the spring bill to get their schools ready over the summer for this years school year. So as you prepare your children to go back, you should be asking a school administrators that directly.

Focusing in getting the vaccine created was a win, bigly win. We need to operation warp speed a home testing strategy.

Reddit has, what I think, is a poor taste thread called the "Herman Cain Award" and it features people's social media posts mocking Covid then social media posts showing theyve died from Covid.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

What I find scary is the people on here dying arent 80 or 90 year olds. Theyre dads. Theyre 40 to 60 years old.

I just started taking an auto immune injection that changes the way my auto immune system responds.

Im 70/30 on masks. Most times I wear them in stores but Ill walk down a halfway or be at work without one. Im certainly exposing my self at times. I have various kn 95s. I think the cloth masks are useless.

I dont know man ... Im going to be more vigilant going forward. Daughter wanted to do laser tag but I had to say no. Be smarter.

r/HCA is in poor taste but I don't pity any of the people featured there that spread misinformation and then stand their convictions and ignore doctor's advice until they die. At least some people can use it as a learning lesson - unless you have a serious medical condition that makes the vaccine risky you are otherwise betting on yourself against the virus. The subreddit does have positive outcomes where holdouts who are holding out due to politics might be swayed.

Pretty disappointing that the government didn't help to make N95 masks available to everyone. Figure with all the money we spend in general and how bad COVID has fucked everything up, that this would have been a priority.

Instead we had people wearing shitty ass masks or things like bandanas.

There was a plan to send masks to every American early on .. until you-know-who quashed it

--------

I've had COVID and I got vaccinated.

I'd rather get COVID again then live my life in fear of variants. I've done everything asked of me. I want to live my fucking life again. I'm done wearing masks. If a business makes it mandatory, that's their choice, but they won't get my money.

Leave me the fuck alone.

^^ that you?

Yes, and that is still the case now. But there was a long time between the arrival of COVID and when the vaccine was available to all Americans. I didn't like wearing a mask, but I did all the way thru like June 18th of this year.

Understood SD, glad youre doing well.

I thought I was done with masks after my vax .. but i guess not. sucks for me. Im certain my 9 yer old will catch it at school. Just waiting and hoping shes one of the many asymptomatic.

r/HCA is not all bad - I think stories from inside the ER like this one can have a positive impact on the remaining misinformed holdouts.
