living our lives and ignoring CNN. sounds like a plan


Hey, anyone check on how the Amish are doing lately?


Yeah. We have a pretty large Amish community around here. I frequent the local Amish-owned hardware, and other stores owned by them, and have never, ever seen an Amish, and very few English wear a mask. I haven't heard of any of them getting covid, but I'm sure some have.

In addition, there are alot of people around here who haul Amish & their goods to the farmers markets, etc. Nobody wears masks. And nobody's died of covid that I'm aware of.

We're pretty rural here, and hardly anybody ever took the mask mandates seriously in the first place. Compliance was maybe 50% at best, and went downhill very quickly.
Sharyl Attkisson did a story on the Amish that tells how they faired. Spoiler alert. They've done pretty darn good over the past couple years by ignoring all the 'noise'.

Hmmm, so somehow, without getting the "information they need" from CNN, they've gotten through this thing pretty well.

I will. The problem is… I’ve been trying to get her to take quercetin zinc and D3 for months and she won’t listen. She will only do what her doctor tells her.
I’m also trying to get her to request monoclonal antibodies.

China has been treating with Ivermectin at pennies a dose. Covid is way down there now.
As it also is in India, which specifically cited Pfizer's demand for no liability as the reason.

******



The link says they're rushing to approve mRNA and not Ivermectin.

Did the article change since you posted it?

Very commendable of you.

They are lying.

quote:
In March 2020, BioNTech and a Chinese drug company called Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical announced a deal for Fosun to sell BioNTech’s Covid vaccines in China: “The two companies will work jointly on the development of BNT162 in China.” Fosun even said it would invest $50 million in BioNTech stock.

Again - this was March 2020, not 2021, roughly the same time BioNTech made a similar deal with Pfizer.

The two companies moved forward quickly.

In November 2020, just after Pfizer and BioNTech announced the topline results from their worldwide pivotal clinical trial (95% percent protection against infection! Covid is DONE, y’all!) they said they had moved the BioNTech vaccine into Phase 2 trials in China.

In late April 2021, BioNTech’s chief executive predicted that the vaccine would win approval and be available in China by July “at the latest.”

Barely two weeks later, in May 2021, Fosun and BioNTech had decided 100 million doses was not enough. They announced a deal to build a Chinese plant with the capacity to make 1 billion vaccine doses annually.

By mid-July, Chinese media outlets were reporting that the Chinese government was reviewing the BioNTech vaccine, with trial production expected to begin in August.

By mid-July, Chinese media outlets were reporting that the Chinese government was reviewing the BioNTech vaccine, with trial production expected to begin in August.

Since then, crickets.

More than a year after Fosun said it would import mRNA vaccines to China, and six months after Chinese regulators supposedly reviewed the clinical trial results, the vaccine remains unavailable.

Instead, in November, the Chinese announced that they had supposedly begun trials on their own mRNA vaccine. No one seems to have any idea when those trials will be finished, but they have the effect of resetting the clock and giving the bluecheck geniuses at places like the FT a way to pretend that the Chinese are moving aggressively ahead with mRNA.


They keep pushing it out into the future. Meanwhile, people on the ground in China say they are using ivermectin.

Damn. If only the United pilots out on indefinite unpaid leave for choosing religious freedom and medical autonomy had a UNION that thought the way you did, Skins! I applaud you as well. ALPA isn't lifting one f---ing finger to help or support us. This is the FIRST TIME in my entire career (and it only spans 17 years...30+ for others) that the "union" hasn't acted like a firewall between management and the pilot. Management attacked all 350+ of us AT WILL, unabated.
