    That's not logical.  

     

    CNN has a money incentive to promote and spin a story one way due to Pfizer being a very important financial backer for them and the issue at hand being drug related.  

    What slant/spin/incentive would Spotify provide?  They don't have a horse in the race (pun intended) when it comes to this discussion. 

    Why would Pfizer have anything to do with it? They don't manufacture ivermectin, Merck does, and even they said not to take it for covid. If a peer reviewed medical study comes out saying it works then great. It's another viable treatment for covid. Until then it's a crap shoot at best. In the meantime it's an unproven and unapproved treatment being touted by the right wing media as some gotcha moment to own the libs, nothing more.

    I think you are just repeating all the talking points from CNN. 

     

    Why would I know what ivermectin is? 

    I couldn't care less about medicine, my point is how much twisting of the words there was with CNN and the way they covered that story. 

    I haven't even seen anything on CNN about it. Why wouldn't you know what ivermectin is? It's only been brought up in this thread and on the news for the last 6 months ad nauseam. Usually when I form opinions I make sure I have at least some knowledge about what I am arguing, but you do you.

    I don't anything about the treatment other then the fact that CNN framed it intentionally as an animal product to slander Joe Rogan when it was in fact an anti-viral drug prescribed to humans. 

     

    Imagine someone saying that you're feeding your children horse food when you give them oatmeal. 

     

    Pfizer is one of the main financial backers of CNN though, so it's really not that surprising.  

     

    I'd also like to thank Pfizer for their money spent on indirect advertising over the years in bolstering their public confidence as I felt good when I was getting my shots. I was prepared to run away from the clinic if I saw AstroZeneca or Moderna :lol:

    Wasn't Joe Rogan the one who said he didn't need to be vaccinated because his immune system works? The same guy who mocked masks? Then he gets covid and takes every medication under the sun to prevent himself from dying? Medications that are not available to the majority of peons that hang on his every word? Perhaps if he apologizes for spreading misinformation first then you'd have a leg to stand on.

     

    We all know what ivermectin is for. If you don't you've been living under a rock. People call it horse dewormer to mock the idiots who are using it to treat covid as there is no verified proof that it works. Oh, and as far as I know, it is an anti-parasitic, not an antiviral medication.

    uh... Comorbidity is the presence of two or more conditions occurring in a person, either at the same time, or successively. not sure what point you are attempting?

    oops sorry I changed my wording, I meant to say underlying health conditions or developing additional comorbidity. ie pneumonia my bad I edited without double checking what I wrote.

    but yes please show me the facts stating otherwise kind sir?

     

    Great, now tell us what "underlying" means?

    Disagree. His latest special, which closes the Netflix narrative he created and delivered throughout his specials, is a gdamn masterpiece in comedy and social commentary. Maybe you're not fully aware of what he's critiquing and it doesn't interest you, but for those who are, his message is not only hilarious but also, and more importantly, critical in helping swing the pendulum back towards the centre. 

     

    His message is about how divisive our society is at the moment, and that we need to somehow get to the point where we can make fun of each other and all laugh together, all while lifting each other up in society rather than hypocritically focusing on our own plights at the expense at others. His specials are profound and important, and no one else is able to do what he does, so if he doesn't do it, who will?

    As a massive Dave Chappelle fan I can state fairly confidently that this is your narrative, not his.

    The state of possible future President DeathSantos.  That country is effed.

    "The school is not opining as to whether unexplained phenomena have a basis in fact, however we prefer to err on the side of caution when making decisions that impact the health of the school community," 

     

    So...like wearing a mask?

    they are if you read the BC health issue for care homes.  full time employees do not have to be jabbed.  only outside third party caregivers.  How many are in fact unjabbed - who knows, but again read the health act on care homes.  they must under go regular testing if not jabbed.  

    Do you have a link for this?

    Questioning is very important, especially when there are jurisdictions with different strategies and different results.  

    If outcome is uniform or predictable, there wouldn't be much to question.  

    As it currently is, there are way more questions that needs to be asked and questions that needs to be answered.  

    That's what medical professionals do. Let's try listening to them first, then we can analyze the results.

    Well.. that is what everyone in this thread is doing.  If it was only medical professionals allowed to post here, this thread would probably be like 2 pages max, lol.  

    Some of us just listen to them and reiterate what they tell us. Others question and obfuscate.

    Yep, just throwing ideas out.  I'm no health expert, I don't know if the vaccine is really the right course or not, but perhaps I'm just instinctually a skeptic.  I see Japan doing it better, we as a society should be replicating their model more.  We should be expecting our government to really figure things out, rather than just rolling out restrictions and setting up nearly irreversible situation that is dividing people.  

     

    I'm not a huge fan of vitamin pills, but they do play a role in those who are unable to get their full nutrients via their regular diet.  Great for kids who hates their fruits and veggies, lol.  Plus vitamins has been around for decades, there's way less hesitancy as the "long-term impact" is well established.  

    Having healthy food that's affordable would really help going forward.  Like when Whole Foods is selling 1 organic apple for $1.... that is creating a barrier to many. 

     

    There are way too many unknowns out there or stuff that needs further research.  I'm not expert here, but the delta strain (I'm assuming also future strains) can still be caught and spread by those vaccinated, while their symptoms are more muted, but wouldn't only the strongest viral mutations survive and thus spread again?  Kind of like how doctors say to follow the exact instructions when taking anti-biotics as the bacteria keep getting stronger each generation... is it similar with viruses?  

    Then there's some early studies about how natural immunity and especially if you caught covid previously is vastly superior to vaccine immunity.  Perhaps that's why Japan is doing better?  Their infection rates were extremely high (by their standards), but death rates really low... thus maybe they have achieved better herd immunity than here?

    Seems more prudence to wait for the more facts rather than using incomplete data sets and implementing rules and regulations that's undeniably intrusive.  

    You said it brother!!!

    The lineups are apparently pretty long, but you can get them printed out at Service BC. Then you can get them laminated at a printer, or maybe even a library, depending on where you live.

    Or, you can call this number and they will mail it to you.
