Covid Vaccine

fedderone said:
This seems topical.............
Just saw my PCP.
He said my blood pressure and cholesterol are more elevated than they should be, and that he has a consistent 5 years of data where he's now concerned and thinks action needs to be taken and no longer monitored.
He said, "Neither one of us like prescriptions if the problem can be solved naturally. So I'm giving you a 6 month reprieve."
Then he laid out lifestyle and nutrition changes I needed to make to lower both of these and keep them within normal range.
He did advise the cholesterol should be rather easy if I stick to the plan, but, my blood pressure may be hereditary and only medication will help.
And this is why I found and chose this particular doctor. He doesn't just get out the script pad first chance he gets.
All of my appointments with him are like being interrogated under the police lights. They're intense and he leaves no stone unturned. He wants as much input/data as possible to make the best recommendations for my healthcare.
I'm not a number and I'm not another means of additional income. He's brutally honest and doesn't sugarcoat anything.
Since I work for a healthcare system, and see/hear lots of things with our doctors, as well as having to deal with the "Company Line".
I ask him all the time about, "I heard this recently. Do you agree or disagree and why?"
And he will have an actual discussion with me and tell me where they're right or wrong and why.
And the best part about this doctor is that he gives me choices and options, and NEVER feels like he's demanding I do something or pressuring me to do something.
I asked him about the Shingles Vaccine since I'm plus 50 and had chickenpox as a child.
He broke down the possibilities for both getting the 2 doses or foregoing altogether.
Asked if I wanted it after our discussion or wanted to talk again at our 6 month appt.
Said I wanted to read some more about and then make a decision.
He gave me a list of things to read about it that would break everything down and give me both points of view.
Said I could ask any additional questions at the next appt. and go from there.

See if your insurance will cover a nutritionist, and even if it doesn't it may be worth the cost. I can give numerous examples of the benefits of following a prescribed diet, but this is the one that comes to mind. A patient of mine was a crash inspector for the FAA, great guy and always had stories to tell. He was your typical type II diabetic, overweigh, but not excessively and an LDL through the roof. Close to being max out on the biguanide, metformin, statins and long-acting basal insulin, Lantus. Nothing was really working for him and if he didn't do something, he was looking at a life cut short, so he hired a nutritionist and followed their instructions to the letter. In 6 months, I didn't recognize him and wondered why I hadn't seen him in a while. He was off every med, his HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, blood glucose levels all in the normal range, and dropped 20 pounds to boot.

I agree that if your issues are hereditary rather than environmental, prescribed medications may be your only alternative, but even so, lifestyle changes will still make a difference.
Good luck.

Thanks, Zona.
Means the world to me.
Appreciate the support and anecdotes.
I will look into the available benefits through my insurance carrier to see if there any for a nutritionist.

Don't you find more than a little sad that this diet/nutrition is not part of the MDs part of health care ahead of the list of drugs that come with side effects?

I think some ancient medicine guy once said " let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food", but it seems like modern docs, even the good ones like feeder one's, don't start with causal factors.

Vets do when it comes to my dog, but MDs don't when it comes to me.

Moarrrr

Former Fauci aide charged with conspiring to evade Covid-related records requests​

Ex-NIH official David Morens is accused of concealing emails about potentially risky virus research.

A former senior official at the National Institutes of Health has been indicted on obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges for allegedly concealing federal records about research into viruses like the one that caused the Covid pandemic.

David Morens, 78, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Greenbelt, Maryland, earlier this month on three felony counts for allegedly using a Gmail account to hide official communications about controversial federally funded projects studying coronaviruses in bats. The indictment was unsealed Monday, when Morens made a brief appearance in court and was released on his own recognizance, according to court records.

According to the indictment, Morens sent and received emails on his private account in order to thwart Freedom of Information Act requesters seeking information about so-called gain-of-function research, which can make pathogens deadlier or more transmissible in order to study them.


After the outbreak of the Covid pandemic, at least eight FOIA requests were submitted for such records by organizations including Science Magazine, Judicial Watch and the Heritage Foundation, the indictment says.

Morens served as a senior adviser to Anthony Fauci, the former longtime director of National Institutes for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is part of the NIH. Fauci became the face of the Covid-19 pandemic response, gaining fans but also numerous detractors, including many Republicans and the now-Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


Someone gonna jump in here and scream "Nuh-uhh!!! He didn't do nuffin!"

It really depends, and why choosing a primary care physician is so important. Even though I was a drug pusher my entire career, my first course of duty was to help the patient help themselves, and that meant drug therapy wasn't the initial treatment I would recommend. There are many physicians out there with the same philosophy, and is why it's paramount to ask questions, rather than blindly following the narrative presented to you.

Preventative medicine should always be step 1.

Leaked FDA memo on child deaths: regulators confess their actions “we have harmed more children than we saved.”

now where's that dancing duck?
 
but wait... there is quite possibly... yes, there is... there is moar

 
Leaked FDA memo on child deaths: regulators confess their actions “we have harmed more children than we saved.”

This point can no longer be argued, rationally at least. The mRNA product was beneficial in only one segment of the population, the elderly WITH comorbidities, that's it.

Well, my PCP is a DO.
But no. HELL NO.
It would be liking saying all priests rape and molest kids and/or all Arabs kill homosexuals.
It's crazy, but some actually think for themselves rather than parroting the preferred narrative.

The whole text should be shared, in case people like Flog get the "I Can Now Read" infection.

READ THIS TWICE.

Fauci called RFK Jr. a liar for saying the childhood vaccine schedule was never properly safety tested.

So RFK sued.

Then, after more than a year of delays, Fauci’s own legal team reportedly admitted the part nobody wanted to say out loud: RFK had a point.

No downstream liability.

No front-end safety testing.

No marketing costs.

And why?

Because the federal government mandates these products for tens of millions of schoolchildren every year.

Think about that setup.

Guaranteed customers. Zero liability. No need to advertise.

RFK summed it up perfectly: “What better product could you possibly have?”

That’s why he argues there was a massive rush to get more and more vaccines added to the childhood schedule. Get your product on the list, and suddenly you’re looking at billion-dollar annual revenue.

Then came the numbers people still don’t want to touch. 72 shots. 16 vaccines.

And around the same era, chronic illness in children began exploding.
ADHD.
Sleep disorders.
Language delays.
Autism spectrum disorders.
Tourette’s.
Tics.
Narcolepsy.

Then RFK drops the statistic that stops everyone cold: Autism went from roughly 1 in 10,000 in his generation to about 1 in 34 children today.

You don’t have to accept every claim blindly. But you also can’t pretend these questions are crazy anymore. For years, people were told to shut up and move on. Now the questions are finally being asked out loud.

One: Look at your posts for the past 60 pages. 80% are social media.

Two: You take nothing seriously. We aren't expecting you to change now.

You mean the same Judges letting violent criminals walk and go murder more people? Those judges? Color me shocked that you and activist judges don't support justice.

  • Millorz J. Canales — released without bail by Judge Mariya Galvan on Dec. 2, 2024, then allegedly took part in the killing and mutilation of a 14-year-old later that month.
  • Jason Ayala — after being allowed out on supervised release in January 2025, he was cited in reporting as a repeat violent-offender example tied to later violent charges.
  • Eric Taylor — Judge Valentina Morales let him walk free on a bail-eligible assault case; reporting described him as a convicted felon accused of smashing a woman in the face with a heavy bag.
  • Amira Hunter — Judge Marva Brown released her in a case involving an alleged assault on a subway cellist, cited in reporting about violent offenders released without bail.
  • Two accused cop-beaters in Bronx court — Judge Eugene Bowen released them despite prosecutors seeking $10,000 bail, according to the same report on violent-perpetrator release patterns.
  • Decarlos Brown Jr. — a congressional release says Magistrate Teresa Stokes released him without bail before he was later accused in a fatal stabbing.
  • Bryan Cherry — Baltimore reporting said he was on pretrial release during a violent crime spree that included murder charges.
  • A Harris County repeat violent offender — reporting described a judge lowering bonds and the defendant later allegedly assaulting the same woman again.
  • An accused murder suspect in California — reporting said a judge released a second murder suspect despite a violent past, illustrating another release-and-reoffend case.
