Humboldt Has Monoclonal Antibody Infusions For Some COVID-19 Infected, but Inoculation and Prevention Are Better, Says Dr. Hoffman

Monoclonal Antibody Therapy for COVID-19

[Image from LA County Department of Health and Human Services]

In response to reader curiosity and our own inquisitiveness, we have learned that Humboldt County does indeed have access to the highly-sought after and still experimental COVID-19 therapeutic treatment known as monoclonal antibodies.  Yes, it is true.  Here, we explain what it is, what it is not, who can get them, why someone might want them, and how they are administered.  

We asked Providence St. Joseph Hospital’s Press Communications Director Christian Hill about the availability of this potentially game-changing treatment.  In the midst of vaccine mandates and burgeoning emergency rooms across the region and the state, a therapy that could lessen the impact of hospital capacity is a welcome tool in the arsenal. The hype around the experimental treatment has been building for months, beginning with former President Donald Trump receiving the treatment after falling ill with COVID-19 last year. 

We are informed by Hill that at St. Joes, “Regeneron, a monoclonal antibody is being provided to select patients.”  Indicating there is not a great deal of the antibodies to go around, Hill assured us that more will be coming soon. “There is an international shortage of Tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody that may have a role in therapy.”  

He confirmed for us that St. Joseph Hospital has been using this locally, saying, “We have given this to some patients, more has been ordered, however there is limited availability.”  Hill assured us, “[T]he manufacturer is working on increasing supply.” 

According to St Joseph Hospital, the plan would be to offer the therapy to more people soon. “In order to expand access, we are setting up an Outpatient Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Program for people diagnosed with COVID-19 who are at risk of progression.” We are told the hospital anticipates this new infusion program to open as soon as this week.

Well before any vaccine was made available, Chief Scientific Officer, George Yoncopoulos was vying for emergency use of the monoclonal antibody made by Regeneron and Biontech.  In September of 2020 he explained, “[Y]es people’s immune systems most of the time can do a great job fighting the virus, by making antibodies against the virus- but then we showed that with most people it’s a race against the virus and their immune system most people win this race by rapidly making more antibodies, however, some people make antibodies more slowly, and this delayed response can put them at risk of losing this race to the virus.”  

The Regeneron Scientific Officer spoke with unmitigated confidence about the treatment before it had received the FDA’s go-ahead and Emergency Use Authorization during the pandemic.  He added, “[W]e can turn losers into winners by giving them their own immune system in a vial.” 

Humboldt County’s Health Officer also expressed hope that this treatment could be helpful locally.  Hoffman told our reporter during a virtual Press conference Thursday morning, he was hopeful that it would be more widely available soon, but was cautious in placing a bet on this as therapy as the winning game changer, preferring the vaccine in the long run. Hoffman explained that while monoclonal antibodies are a handy tool in the battle against COVID-19, they may not be for everyone.  

“When we talk about cost-benefit ratio here, this is a very labor intensive treatment and it is not something that is going to easily, be widely available,” he said. “So one of the reasons it’s been difficult to implement is because this requires dedicated space where a person can sit for several hours while getting this infusion of the antibody. It requires nursing staff – which we just already talked about was extraordinarily short on in our county and everywhere  [and] it requires oversight by physician staff…”  

Screengrab from August 26th virtual COVID-19 press Conference, Dr. Hoffman discusses the cost-benefit considerations of the monoclonal antibody infusion treatment locally. 

Screengrab from August 26th virtual COVID-19 press Conference, Dr. Hoffman discusses the cost-benefit considerations of the monoclonal antibody infusion treatment locally.

Currently the Federal Drug Administration has approved the Regeneron Monoclonal Antibodies for Emergency Use Authorization.  “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for REGEN-COV™ (casirivimab and imdevimab) for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with positive results SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.”  

The treatment is described by the FDA as ”Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful antigens such as viruses. Sotrovimab is a monoclonal antibody that is specifically directed against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and is designed to block the virus’ attachment and entry into human cells.” 

Patrizia Cavazzoni MD, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research is quoted in the FDA’s press release of May 26, 2021 saying, “With the authorization of this monoclonal antibody treatment, we are providing another option to help keep high-risk patients with COVID-19 out of the hospital.” 

According to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, it is reaching fewer than 30 percent of eligible patients, up from fewer than 5 percent a month ago. In a May 2021 interview, Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc, George Yoncopoulos discussed the antibody treatment and why it may be an important new tool in the arsonal as doctors and health officers across the nation grapple with surging COVID cases.  

“Obviously we’re all hoping that vaccines are being broadly enough used to generate what’s called ‘herd immunity’.  What is that?  The vaccine makes individuals make their own antibodies against the virus – antibodies that will bind to and kill the virus and provide protection against them,” said Yoncopoulos.  

The scientist explained the method behind the production, explaining, “[W]hat we were able to do was essentially clone out the very antibody – the best of the antibodies that bind and block to the coronavirus – we grow them up in these big bioreactors and then we highly purify them and we concentrate them, and we can give it back to individuals as an injection.” 

“The cocktail is still retaining its effectiveness against all the variants of concern that have been identified to date… if you’re already infected… This can decrease your risk of progressing to severe disease, hospitalization or death.  It can also shut down your production of the virus, so making you less infectious, so if it was used widely enough, it would actually decrease the spread.” 

The antibody infusion is an intravenous therapy that needs to be done in an outpatient or hospital.  The process is not simple, and is likely to be followed by a short time of observation by the staff on duty.  It is recommended that a patient get the treatment as soon as possible following a positive COVID-19 test result, and within 10 days of symptoms.   

Dr. Hoffman placed his proverbial bet on the inoculation, as the “winner” in the fight against the virus.  He said, “[Y]ou know, the highest, really bang for our buck, it’s vaccination.  Those folks who are highest risk for for needing monoclonal antibodies would also reduce their risk just as much if not more actually by getting vaccinated, and so those same people who are unvaccinated, if they would go out and get vaccinated right now would actually have a better impact on on this pandemic.  It’s safer.  I would say, you know, vaccination is much safer than the monoclonal antibody treatment and it lasts much longer.  We know that the monoclonal antibodies probably only give protection for maybe a few months – possibly only a few weeks – it’s really geared to preventing the disease right in that moment, whereas vaccination is a long-term, much longer term solution.” 

In regard to possibly having this treatment administered in other ways, Regeneron’s Yoncopoulos noted, “Our most recent phase three study was actually done testing a subcutaneous – that’s a simple injection right under the skin – that can be done at home or in a doctor’s office or anywhere, does not require an infusion center. It appeared that when given that way, the cocktail was very effective, and so we are talking with the FDA about having them authorize subcutaneous administration for both treatment of already infected people as well as for prevention, and we will see what the FDA thinks about that data.” 

The therapy is not authorized for use in patients “who are hospitalized due to COVID-19, who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 in those on chronic oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19 related comorbidity.” 

Breaking down the difference between the monoclonal antibody treatment and the effects of getting vaccinated, Humboldt’s Public Health Officer Dr, Hoffman had this to say.  “Monoclonal antibodies are really designed to kind of go in quickly for someone who’s either been infected, or at super high risk for infection based on a high risk exposure, to prevent them from getting really sick in that couple week time period that they would get sick in, but it doesn’t last long. It doesn’t stimulate the body’s response to prevent disease in the future, whereas a vaccine stimulates your own body to produce those antibodies for a long time, and you know, the real difference is that long-lasting immunity versus that just, short time period.”  

Doubling down on his professional opinion that the vaccine won in both unofficial categories of efficiency and longevity when up against the antibody infusion, Hoffman said, “[A]gain, we’re talking about a very labor intensive, high cost, high barrier treatment, that will help people stay out of the hospital – but it’s not going to last for very long, versus a very easy to administer, we can do it in 15 minutes, we can do a lot of people in a day, and it’s going to last for a really long time, the cost is way less…” 

People who do want to receive anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies are advised to put off vaccination at least 90 days, according to the FDA, as a precautionary measure,because the treatment may “interfere with vaccine-induced immune responses”.  The FDA also noted, “people who develop COVID-19 after receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, prior vaccination should not affect treatment decisions, including the use of and timing of treatment with monoclonal antibodies.

Anyone with intuitive sense knew that from the beginning!

Avoid the jab!

Fortify yourself. It’s literally that simple.

Remember, unless you’re an insulin dependent diabetic your health is not found in a syringe.

Everyone, jabbed or not, has already, or will eventually have a run in with the Covid 19.

Focus your rage on fucking fauci and his nefarious lab scam, not on your pro-choice neighbor. They can’t make you sick. Your body is half the fucking equation when it comes to ANY viral exposure. Worry about yourself.

The shots don’t do shit. So you all can STFU about “do it to protect others.” That’s a lie. And lies being sold as gospel deserve no respect.

Fauci ADMITS “antibodies” from COVID-19 vaccines actually make the virus stronger
08/26/2021
By Arsenio Toledo

Chief Medical Advisor to the President Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines could actually make the coronavirus worse.

During a press conference at the White House, Fauci talked about antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE.

ADE is a phenomenon that happens when the antibodies generated by the body during an immune response bind themselves to the pathogen but do not properly wipe it out. Instead, these antibodies act as a Trojan horse, giving the pathogen a way to get further into the body and spread. This, in turn, requires an even greater immune response from the body, which might actually make the situation worse.

“Mexico City authorities created a home-treatment-kit, including Ivermectin, for its 22 million-strong population in December 2020 and cut hospitalizations by over 70%.

Those Indian states that adopted Ivermectin policies saw their cases fall far more than 80%; Uttar Pradesh – down 98% [37,944 to 596], Uttarakhand – down 97% [9642 to 287] and Goa – down 90% [4195 to 423]. Delhi saw a 99% drop [28,395 to 238].”

Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co., which developed ivermectin and makes the drug, said in February that based on available and emerging studies of the drug to treat COVID-19, company scientists found “no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect.” The company also said it found “a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.”

“A group of 10 doctors who call themselves the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance have said”… Not a single thing these people have said has ever turned out to be correct. They have a history of pushing bullshit, well before covid. If they turn out to be right about ivermectin, it’s like a stopped clock. Both of your links are press releases put out by them, not reporting or science.

No well-done study has found ivermectin to be particularly effective. Also, of note, even the worst-done studies have not found it to be anywhere near as useful as getting vaccinated.

Ivermectin, to me, falls under the category of things that need further research. A well-designed large-scale study to give a solid answer to just how effective it is. No study to date has provided evidence of sufficient quality to recommend it as a treatment.

Utter folly. ADE is a function of the virus, not the vaccine. Reinfection from the virus itself would cause ADE if was going to happen. In other words, if you had a “light” case of covid, the second time you were infected, ADE would take place and you would be worse if ADE was an issue. If you had the same antibodies from a vaccine, ADE could similarly occur IF SARS-COV-2 infected areas vulnerable tissues. But sars-cov-2 has shown no signs of doing this. Neither in cases of reinfection nor in breakthrough infections.

In fact the reason mRNA vaccines are so much less likely to do this than inactivated virus vaccines is because it turned out that the adjunct or the inactivation process was what triggered the the ADE in that type vaccine. mRNA vaccines are safer from ADE than older methods of vaccination. They do not have adjuncts nor inactivated virus. Not the other way around.

If ADE was an issue, it would be an issue already clear. And it would not be just with the vaccinated. And it would likely effect those given monoconal antibodies, which can be chosen to reduce but not eliminate ADE. And if the virus mutates to chance into ADE problem virus, we are all up a shit creek. And it has nothing to do with the vaccine.

Anti vaxxers are idiots from start to end.

Which has nothing to do with ADE. Japanese medicine has a philosophical problem with telling patients unpleasant news because they think it harms the patient’s well being. And their doctors bow to family pressure. If someone wants to take ivermectin and the doctor thinks it won’t harm them, they will prescribe it even if they think it does no good. So if this drug has a demand, it will be given. It does not mean they believe it works.

We aren’t talking about traditional childhood vaccines that proffered actual immunity AND were used sparingly, easily exempted or given in a delayed schedule, with most boomers having gotten only 6 -10 injections whereas the current schedule is in excess of 70. (Many of which are dangerous and unnecessary)

We ARE discussing an entirely different “vaccine.” Which in fact merriam Webster actually redefined the word vaccine
to include these nasty mRNA injections at the bidding of the PTB. That alone a red flag.

All you have to do is recover from the disease to enjoy it. Good lord, do anti vaxxers have one brain cell between all of them? First it was all a fake. Then it was all a plot. Then it was no one who has a healthy body gets sick. Now it’s run an IV into me for an hour because the “no one gets sick from the disease” now has done exactly what authorities said it would and scared me. And still not one of them will review their thinking to check for errors.

“The process underpinning this is known to psychologists as discounting the future. Both animals and humans typically prefer a small reward now to a larger reward later, unless the future reward is very large. The ability to resist this temptation is dependent on the frontal pole (the bit of the brain right just above your eyes), one of whose functions is to allow us to inhibit the temptation to act without thinking of the consequences. It is this small brain region that allows (most of) us to politely leave the last slice of cake on the plate rather than wolf it down. In primates, the bigger this brain region is, the better they are at these kinds of decisions.”

FDA “full authorization” of Pfizer covid vaccine BROKE THE LAW in numerous ways, agency now complicit in CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
08/26/2021 / By Lance D Johnson

The vaccine industry’s stranglehold over the US government has never been more blatant and unashamed. With the “full authorization” and licensure of Pfizer’s experimental series of mRNA inoculations, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just subverted their own federal regulations and gold standards, while ignoring the vast amount of injuries reported after inoculation.

The FDA is violating multiple principles of medical ethics and is complicit in crimes against humanity after approving Pfizer and BioNTech’s new drug, Comirnaty. For eight months, this so-called vaccine has ravaged the health of the nation, with 3,033 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, of which 1,335 came directly from the Pfizer shot. A shocking 8,396 blood clotting disorders were reported, of which 3,586 reports were attributed to Pfizer.

This drug company is also responsible for 44 percent of the 126,905 reports of anaphylaxis and over 200 cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Pfizer is also responsible for 1,300 cases of Bell’s palsy. Tens of thousands of people have been sent to the emergency room because of these injections, with over 17,000 permanently disabled and over 13,000 pronounced dead after taking the shots. This holocaust is happening in the young and old, as the spike proteins congregate in vital organs and cause inflammation in the cardiovascular system.

Pfizer and BioNTech are damaging human immunity and inflicting widespread pain and suffering, and the FDA is complicit.

Condolences to the mother and family. In my opinion, it can be anyone who can catch this terrible virus. It’s a new strain, it’s spread from human to human. (Obviously) Some people can fight it with success and others cannot. Maybe the vaccine helps but it appears it can wear off and there seems to be other variables as well. (Some facts that seem established appear to be changing) I felt relief when a vaccine came out, yes, I was hesitant to take it and I am definitely not socializing… at all .. I am choosing to stay isolated and wait and see. Bare minimum errands. 2nd year homeschooling, inconvenient? Yes. Life changes, Yes. Not ideal, but so far so good. Today, this county is experiencing a large amount of infections. I had a feeling many people were going to get out and enjoy their summer and we would end up here. I don’t think it’s going to be easy to stop this virus. I have read articles that state it is the unvaccinated who are being hospitalized. (I can understand the frustration on both sides) I also read that a fully vaccinated was recorded as deceased from Covid, locally. We can read, post, argue, but the bottom line is this virus is treacherous and can be deadly. I have heard many say it is like the flu sadly it is much worse for many people. Yes, there are scientific facts, there are also gut feelings. These are stressful times, please everyone, vaccinated or not, let’s all be safe and beat this.

Here’s some free advice: When you encounter any source that claims the number of deaths in VAERS is the number of deaths from covid vaccines, that source is unreliable and you should not waste time reading any further content from that source.

Don’t look around for someone to save you when the disease hits you or someone you care about…

Fact is, there may be a Monoclonal Antibody Treatment, but it will be a tough road to recovery…

If you are vaccinated, you will have a great chance of not being at all affected by COVID-19.

Fact.

Get your damn vaccine. Quit pretending that “natural immunity” or “horse wormer” are going to help you, down at St Joseph’s busted-flush Hospital…

Don’t be a fool. The vaccine is free and it’s so easy to do…

The hyper-focus of some on shoving this potentially dangerous garbage into the bloodstream of others is so embarrassing for our community.

No one knows the future!

And the claims about the “efficacy and safety” of these vaccines are backed up by only few short seasons of observation. The sacrosanct polio vax was in clinical animal and human studies for well over two decades!

I don’t think they’ve proven shit about these mRNA covid-19 “vaccines” yet . And if anything the results are
turning out to be quite contrary to their initial claims.

Imagine the nature of thinking that sees an infusion of antibodies created in a lab to save a person from a disease that wouldn’t have likely been a problem if they had the foresight to get vaccinated in the first place. And then rejoice over that stupidity because they see it as making vaccines useless.

I know. Anti vaxxers insist a vaccine is not a vaccine because it’s rushed and there are no long term studies. But swallow whole the idea that antibodies are antibodies even if they never existed any earlier than the start of vaccine development either and have even less scrutiny.

Oh well. I suppose I would be glad to have an effective treatment to should I get sick. And nothing fixes stupid anyway.

For you, GL, get the shot if you want to…

Fact is, the costs of being “saved” by a broken hospital should be a concern too…

I know that people on Part A and Part B Medicare will have some coverage, and folks on Medi-Cal will get some treatment, but dealing with a hospital, can get expensive.

One thing Dr Hoffman never discusses is: How much does this cost?

When you can get a vaccine for free, why would you want to risk high bills and possible death?

Believe me: Paying medical bills is not for the faint of heart!

So, get the damn vaccine, if you want to, but get real! IF you recover from serious COVID, you might not ever be the same…

Hundreds of millions of people have been immunized. No matter how smart you think you are, this isn’t experimental, and, people who think (sort of like) you, are very foolish indeed…

I’m with Dave Kirby, above! I don’t want to get sick, at all, if I can avoid it, and, as an Ancillary Healthcare Professional, I think YOU should do whatever you can do, to not get put into a poorly staffed provincial hospital, which is currently crowded with some extremely sick patients!

Dr Hoffman is right! The best bet, today, is to get vaccinated. The fact that you and folks who are being deliberately willfully and continuingly ignorant and stubborn, for whatever reason, is insulting, obtuse and very foolish.

Get your FREE vaccine. God knows how much it will cost you for an extended and intensive hospital stay…

GL… Don’t be a fool, get vaccinated today!

Look carefully at the Covid dashboard for Humboldt.

Death rate is PEGGED at the bottom.

And the vast majority of serious illness hospitalizations are people over 70.

So, for the majority of the population, especially young adults and children the risk is minimal, and in the view of many that risk is best managed by a hygienic lifestyle and natural aggressive early treatment if faced with infection.

My momma raised me to watch my BMI, Dave K.

The bottom line is that medical system has taken a uni-dimensional way of treating patients— relying on pharmaceutical companies, whose sole endeavour is to sell shares and satisfy shareholders.

They cannot patent any naturally occurring substances, which means we have given these companies complete control over our healthcare solutions.

Anti vaxxer sites are rife with all sorts of natural remedies, of dubious quality and effectiveness, that are sold at a huge profit. Unresearched, untested and unquestioned by users.

“We learned today that Mercola has begun complying with the FDA’s instructions to remove materials from his website making claims that certain supplements Mercola sells mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19.

Mercola’s announcement of the changes took the form of a disjointed blog post that variously blames CSPI, Bill Gates and other unspecified billionaires, Baylor University’s Dr. Peter Hotez, “pharma-funded legislators,” and others for his legal problems. Even in retreating from the long arm of the law, Mercola obfuscates the reason that he had to remove these materials. That reason is that his materials made unlawful claims, thereby making the supplements either unapproved new drugs or misbranded drugs.”

A DISPROPORTIONATE vast majority. Over twice the rate in fact.

Age 65+ is just 18% of Humboldt county population (135,000)

So rounding for simplicity sake. , 100 hospitalization came from 20% of the population . Which is a rate of 400 per 100,000 . Which is 004%, or 1 out of every 250 people.

And conversely 200 hospitalizations came from 80% of the population. Which is about 200 per 100,000 or .0018% or only 1/540 were hospitalized.

People don’t seem to understand that acquired immunity isn’t some magic thing you can get because you want it – it’s the result of being sick, and you only get it after recovering from being sick. You don’t have it initially. People say “natural immunity is more effective than the vaccine, so the vaccine doesn’t do anything!” like that’s somehow a logical construction. Or they act like somehow getting the vaccine will prevent them from acquiring immunity if they get infected anyway.

Even a 1% effective vaccine will reduce cases, deaths, etc compared to “natural immunity”, which is doing nothing at all and waiting to get sick.

Given that you think only 18 people have died from the vax and 35 cycles on a PCR test is reliable (even Fausti denies that), nothing you say is credible.

Fauci isn’t saying what you are claiming he said. For one, he’s not blasting PCR tests in any way. Two, he’s saying that a cycle count over 35 likely means the person isn’t infectious to others, not that they aren’t or weren’t infected. Where do you think the dead nucleotides he’s talking about come from? Being infected! The accuracy of PCR tests has been exceptionally well proven at this point, and any theorizing to the contrary had better have a very well conducted study attached to it, or such arguments can be immediately dismissed.

Without vaccination, you are highly likely to be infected with covid if exposed to it. For example, on the first cruise ship with a big outbreak, more than 20% of people on board got infected, even though it was quickly recognized there was a problem and passengers isolated – and that was before delta came along. If you get vaccinated, your chances of being infected drop by about 80% for delta, 95% for earlier strains. If you don’t get vaccinated, your chances of being infected drop by 0%, because you didn’t do anything, just decided to wait until you get sick.

2. I’d really like to see you find studies “conducted by highly respected medical institutes” that support your views *in context*.

There’s a little bit of crappy research out there. Such as anti-viral properties of Urushiol, the chemical found in poison oak. I did find one study on that which I won’t link to here because it’s stupid. Although, if anyone really really feels the need to roll around naked in poison oak for a half hour in the belief it will prevent covid I’m not going to be the one to stop them.

Ivermectin is less toxic and safer than that. It may or may not not do any good, probably not, but at least it probably won’t kill you or make you wish you were dead. But the jab definitely helps before you do get covid. Definitely.

That’s not a study, it’s a biased article about a study, but I do agree with it. Natural immunity is probably better than immunity you get from the shot.

However, I can attest to the experience of getting it before getting a shot for it. I’m pretty sure I got it in Jan 2020 before it was on the radar. Lost sense of smell and extremely exhausted for at least 1 1/2 months. I thought I would die. The side effects of getting the virus for the first time can be horrible. I still get winded very easily and can’t do much. I also got it again 6 months after that- tested pos and it was very mild. I got the shot later, when it was available and I think still got the virus again 6 months later. It was VERY mild then. I did not get tested.

Unless you know for sure that you have already gotten the virus then it is a lot safer to just get the jab. And even if you have had it before then getting the vaccine is well worth considering. I had no problems with it- just felt a little under the weather the second day- no big deal.

The first one is reasonable science, I believe – it shows waning vaccine immunity against delta, which seems to be confirmed, and also finds that against delta, acquired immunity seems to fairly rapidly wane too. It concludes that being vaccinated offers benefits even for people previously infected, which has been shown elsewhere.

The second one, though… LOL. It’s pure bullshit formatted to look like a scientific study.

Reading a history of science would be enlightening for you. Ancient Greeks and subsequently Romans were debating whether the Earth moved around the Sun or visa versa. They just had no way of demonstrating it. This left those who didn’t bother with details choosing to believe only what their eyes saw. It wasn’t scientists who were unaware of the issue but non scientists who were unaware the issue existed at all. In other words, science learns and changes as it learns. It’s the unaware who consider that a fault and stick to what they “know.” Like anti vaxxers.

“The coroner would certainly know more than the rumor mill you were repeating.”

I have repeated nothing. I have simply stated that the possibility of hypertension, due to the shot, which ultimately leads to a heart attack, is possible. It may be indistinguishable to a coroner. An enlarged heart IS, afterall, one of the potential side effects of the vaccine.

The mechanism that causes blot clotting (with severely hypertensive people especially) is the same with the vaccine as it is with Covid. HOWEVER it is much milder and FAR less common with the vaccine.

The dude would be just as dead if he had caught covid. (RIP dude, no offense)

AND in fact he probably did catch covid. The shot isn’t effective till 2 weeks after getting it (JJ) or after getting both (M or P). Who knows? He could have felt sick and decided to go get the shot last minute in the hopes it would help. It does not help at all right when one is sick..

We have been lied to from the get go from point of origin to simple rapid testing to distribution of N95 respirators to effective treatments. These so called vaccines ( I promote REAL vaccines not experimental gene therapy which are not sterilizing vaccines ) besides having dangerous side effects will have their efficacy constantly diminish and new variants over time will learn to evade and perhaps become more deadly in vaccinated humans because of limited resistance. Think of anti bacterial resistance. There are many treatments available today to keep you out of the hospital. And once you have had Covid, YES you have many times more immune protection than these so called vaccines. You are being conned

Kym,

As they relate to Covid19…

What is Covid19 related CVT?

What is Post Vaccination CVT?, and

What is VITT? ( Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia)

How do they compare?

What is the incidence of each? (4perM doses is a number you’ve mentioned for Vaccine related CVT), (39perM, per confirmed case, you’ve mentioned for Covid19).

What are their respective mortality and morbidity rates. (Death or Dependency for Activities of Daily Living).

(Post Vaccination CVT, 16% mortality and morbidity)

(VITT, 47% mortality and morbidity)

How many Americans does that represent? (1,079)

Is the likely number of Vaccine Related CVT, (Cerebral Venous Thrombosis),
greater than, or less than,
the likely number of Covid19 related CVT?

Hints:

10.25 times the “likelihood” of CVT from Covid19 “PER CASE”,
compared to the likelihood of CVT from Moderna, or Pfizer Vaccination,
7.8 times for (J&J), “PER DOSE”.
However,
Currently there are 11.16 times as many doses administered as positive Covid19 cases.

This statistically results in 14.4% more
CVT events attributable to vaccination,
than CVT events attributable to Covid19, by the statistics you have
linked to and referenced as evidence from your trusted sources.

I am not questioning your sources.
I am hoping you might see that by combining your information from them, with vaccine related CVT mortality and morbidity figures confirmed by other reputable sources, that it would be proper to evaluate that more than 3 have succumbed to the vaccines.

Or, you’re kind of contradicting yourself by referencing a CVT incidence of 4perM doses administered, but not taking into account the established mortality of Vaccine Related CVT.

Actually, not kind of, you are definitely contradicting yourself.

Even if the confirmed CVT mortality rate was 2%, there would have been 34 deaths by now, 11 times more than you
adhere to.

You can post a link again for the 3 number, I’ve seen it. Not necessary.
It just doesn’t pair well with the link you provided and also referenced for the 4perM CVT events from vaccination. Considering established mortality figures, they can’t possibly both be true. Or do you think they can both be true?

That would be my debate.

Here are my reasons….

CVT incidence with Covid19,
39 Per M. (38.4 M positive cases).
=(1,498 total CVT)

CVT incidence with Vaccine,
4 per M (Moderna & Pfizer).
5 per M (J&J).

(428.5M doses delivered.)
=(1,714 total CVT)

So, How many Americans, Dead or Seriously Disabled, from CVT associated with Vaccination, so far?

From Post Vaccination CVT?,
1,714 times 16% = 274

From Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia?,
1,714 times 47% = 805

I believe it would be appropriate to
combine these numbers

805+274 = 1,079 Americans Dead or Seriously Disabled.

Now, I’m not sure how many of these would actually be deaths,

But the smart gambler should bet it’s more than the 3 you claim.

That would represent a Vaccine related CVT mortality rate of a mere 0.17%.

Considering that the American College of Cardiology, (August 23,2021), determined that the mortality and morbidity percentages for Post Vaccination CVT and Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, (also CVT), are respectively, 16%, and, 47%,
the combined morbidity and mortality would be 63%, or 1,079.

Considering this, after assertion of 4 CVT events per million vaccinations, are you still going to put your entire pile of chips on “3”?

3 ???
0.28%???
Of the 1,079 statistical Vaccine Related CVT’s representative of the mortality and morbidity percentages, only 3 have perished?

That’s highly unlikely.
And that is an understatement.

I am not trying to be troublesome,

it’s just that… that…

I hope you understand…

That it must be a considerably lot more than 3.

Or, well, conversely, that the 4perM vaccine related CVT incidence you refer to and quoted could actually only be 0.007perM, and has been exaggerated by over 571 times, assuming hypothetically,100% CVT mortality in your 3 cited deaths, and that they were the only cases

Maybe you could provide your opinion on the mortality rate of Vaccine related
CVT, then compare it to the incidence you stated of 4perM injections, and then compare and contrast that result with the number of deaths you also allege to be only “3”.

We could compare notes.

Something ain’t jibing.

Do you see it?

It’s a little nuanced, but it’s fairly clear.

Thank you for your consideration into this matter of conflicting information.

Kym,
I guess it wasn’t worth consideration.

I was really hoping you would consider it.

That’s a lot of casualties to simply brush aside after calling attention to them.
Is there 4 CVT events per million vaccine injections like you said, or not?

That equals 1,712 CVT events, right?

And the vaccine CVT mortality rate is what % ? There’s a mortality rate, right?

So, how many that got CVT died? None?

How many serious disabilities?

My estimate, using confirmed Information for deaths and serious disabilities combined, for vaccine related CVT mortality and morbidity of 63% is 1,079 as of 8/23/2021.

Or did the 1,712 CVT sufferers simply all live happily ever after, except for the 3 ?

Too meandering?

Unsubstantiated?

“I guess it wasn’t worth consideration.”

Very compelling. And that’s just CVT you’re talking about. There may be other serious problems associated with this vaccine and I do not see a vigorous effort to find out. Sadly, it’s not surprising you got ZERO response from anyone. That’s usually indicitive of something unnasailable.

Thank you Rollin,

It took a bit of effort. The acknowledgement is encouraging. I appreciate it.

It was Kym’s statement on the incidence of CVT, Covid19 versus
vaccination, that got me thinking about it in the first place, and how even her preferred links and assertions can sometimes neutralize each other.

If the contradiction comes to light, it is ignored.

I was really hoping she would understand, and not be so dead set onto that to which she holds so firmly, yet unreasonably.

She’s a tough sell.

But she is totally entitled to that,
as are we all.

And yes, this was just about CVT.
Only one potential side effect of many.
Yet if one side effect that is so serious and so obvious, even admitted too, still gets ignored so completely, the likelihood any other side effect being given proper consideration is nil.

I tried. My entreaty has fallen upon deaf ears it seems. I am relieved someone found it compelling, rollin.

I edited out my final word in my comment above, after “Unsubstantiated?”, I had concluded with, “Undisputable?”,
but deleted it, as I felt it may have been too strong.

You conclude with, “Unassailable”.

Yes, that is what I meant also.

I had hoped for a response, but I did not expect one would be forthcoming.

No response says it all, actually.

Thank you for your consideration and understanding in this matter of conflicting information, rollin.

I guess my takeaway from it all is that at least I will continue to hope that one conflicting link, or the other, will no longer be referenced.

They cannot both be true.

It’s impossible.

How much of the rest of it all can be believed if both are adhered to?

It’s ironic that an attempt to correct, led to an error being brought to the light.

The question is, can the teacher also learn?

Or is the teacher, like the customer, always right?

Both can’t be true.

So, I have to ask… Why do you prefer a drug treatment, a synthetic compound developed by big pharma, to a vaccine, a synthetic compound developed by big pharma? If you don’t like big pharma and don’t trust them or the government, why are you picking one treatment as good and another as bad? If there’s something nefarious being put into treatments by big pharma, the government, bill gates, jews, or reptilians, why wouldn’t they put it in your preferred treatment too? And why would you want a treatment that might treat you once you’re sick over one that keeps you from getting sick in the first place? Or, if you think it’ll prevent you from getting sick, that you’ll have to take constantly, rather than once or twice a year at worst?

I went through 12 (twelve pages) of Google, with all weird sites (like JewWorldOrder) all parroting each other. On the 12th page I found something similar, but dated August 16th from an anti-Covid remediation site.

I checked for Japanese online news sources (in English) and can’t find any. Well not on the 12 pages I waded through.

It is “interesting” that this hit all of a sudden all over the psuedosphere today. When as I said, there was an article from 11 days ago saying such.

edit: I do have to correct that. A few of the suspect websites (12 pages worth) did mention it over a week ago, on August 19.

Can you direct me to an actual Japanese news site that announces this?

Well apparently he did say it would be reasonable to let people take it. “Regarding the antiparasitic drug “ivermectin”, it shows the number of infections and deaths of the new corona in a country that is prophylactically administered for another disease in Africa. It is necessary to thoroughly study the clinical trial, but it seems that we are at the stage where it is okay to have the patient give an informed outlet and get permission to use it. ”
https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/123988

That was not an endorsement but he did say that people should be given prescriptions. At this point, if people are going to use it anyway, it is probably better to let people take at least the human form rather than livestock drugs.

He is not the Japanese Health Ministry and cannot approve ivermectin for use against COVID-19. … As of 27 August 2021, Japan still does NOT allow Ivermectin to be used to treat or prevent COVID-19.
In their July 2021 edition of COVID-19 treatment guidelines, Ivermectin is still listed in the category of drugs whose “efficacy and safety have not been established“.” https://www.techarp.com/science/japan-ivermectin-covid-19/

As I mentioned somewhere else, the Japanese medical field has a philosophy of giving way to patient’s requests because they feel that opposing them makes the patient stressed and negatively effect their health. Japanese doctors routinely prescribe useless drugs if they feel the patient believes in them. . So, especial since ivermectin was a Japanese discovery, if a patient really wants it, the doctor will prescribe it to avoid conflict. However that does not mean that medical professionals believe it is efficacious. They just prescribe it for accepted uses, not covid.

Besides no amount of reason slows down the anti vaxxer misinformation campaign. If real news is wanted, you have to leave Google or Bing and use a search engine that will not have the first hundred hits being all the inbred anti vaxxer/ conspiracy sites echoing the exact same trash. Why Google hasn’t a better algorithm is really strange but you’ll have wade through pages of the same crap and try various phrasing to get away from it.

Hilarious how the same people who ragged on the Pfizer vaccine for not having standard FDA approval are the same ones who tout Ivermectin, which is much further from having FDA approval as an antiviral treatment.

If anyone thinks use of a livestock drug works out well for humans, they should remember when the horse tranquilizer PCP was used by humans.

Ivermectin studies and statistics

Twenty countries are using Ivermectin to treat Covid-19. They include Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Nigeria, and Egypt. In South Africa doctors are allowed to prescribe Ivermectin, but it is not being rolled out everywhere and in hospitals and clinics.

According to Jackie Stone, a doctor in Zimbabwe, since January – when Ivermectin began to be used – it has cut COVID hospital admissions and deaths over 70%.

“The death rate rose sharply in January and peaked on the 25th at 70 deaths per day. Official authorisation for the use of Ivermectin was granted on 26th January. Just one month later, on 26th February, the COVID death rate had fallen to zero”.

A meta-analysis gold standard review of 24 randomised trials conducted in 15 countries among more than 3400 people worldwide of clinical trials – just released by the BIRD group in the UK – showed that deaths are dramatically reduced when Ivermectin is administered. Published in the American Journal of Therapeutics the most rigorous statistical standards were applied by world-leading biostatistician, Mr Andrew Bryant, and medical doctor and researcher Dr Tess Lawrie. The results concluded that Ivermectin has an over 70% success in preventing deaths in hospitalised patients.

Mexico City authorities created a home-treatment-kit, including Ivermectin, for its 22 million-strong population in December 2020 and cut hospitalisations by over 70%.

Those Indian states that adopted Ivermectin policies saw their cases fall far more than 80%; Uttar Pradesh – down 98% [37,944 to 596], Uttarakhand – down 97% [9642 to 287] and Goa – down 90% [4195 to 423]. Delhi saw a 99% drop [28,395 to 238].

The bottom line is that Ivermectin works, and it works extraordinarily well. You do not need to be a scientist to understand these numbers, as they are self-evident.

If South Africa had a policy of testing and treating – as does Mexico City, which has emptied its hospitals since they implemented it, does – and of using Ivermectin for prevention for health workers and those not vaccinated – we could end the effects of the pandemic here.

Besides cutting hospitalisations and deaths Ivermectin can also be used as a preventative. In Argentina, 788 health workers took Ivermectin weekly and 407 did not. After ten weeks, 58% of those not taking Ivermectin had become sick – but not one of those who took it became sick.

The use of Ivermectin has been restricted because the WHO says that further clinical trials are needed before they can recommend it. When asked about this, Dr Stone replied, “I find it very hard to understand how they can say that there is not sufficient evidence. There are three thousand patients plus in, I think, twenty-four trials where they demonstrate an over 75% reduction in mortality. Those figures fit exactly with what we have seen.”

Dr Tess Lawrie, one of the meta-analysis authors, in an interview with Dr. Mobeen speculated that the WHO and other regulatory agencies – which up to recently have had good reputations – may have been influenced by the lobbying of the pharmaceutical industry which is one of their chief sources of funding and which offers employment opportunities to the personnel who work in these agencies. The Emergency Use Authorisation of vaccines in the US and EU required that there was no alternative treatment available. If Ivermectin had been approved it would have been a problem to authorise the vaccines without proper trials.

It probably won’t hurt you. But you should know ivermectin is in the same insecticidal family as abermectin, the main ingredient of the pesticide AVID for spider mites. Both are avermectins.

And no, I do NOT recommend anyone spraying themselves all over with AVID. Very Bad Idea. You probably are not personally infested with spider mites and so the harm far far outweighs the benefits.
