Americans Face Long Lines for Covid Tests as 1 Million Infected Daily

I will be one of them starting in February. The email from corporate came today. Unvaccinated must submit a weekly test as per OSHA mandate.

At home vaccinations now available, please see your science teacher.

You can’t even schedule a test around here at CVS, Walgreen’s, Quest. EVERY SITE I go to says “no appointments available” for WEEKS.

There’s no way this mandated testing is going to fly when there’s NO TESTS and not enough testing personnel.

Triamcinalone, at least the 0.5% (pink tube) is good stuff, but the 0.1% (blue tube) is worthless, at least for poison oak. Betamethasone Dipropionate cream (0.05%) seems to work even better, but your mileage may vary.

Just another way to funnel people into the corral of getting the vaccination. You need to get the vaccination in order to continue making a living. Or you need to test weekly. Oh, no tests available for weeks or months? Well then you are on unpaid leave until you can come back with a negative test. I guess I haven't read or heard much on what the experts are speculating how the Supreme Court will rule but it's hard to put much faith in them given recent rulings.

Part of the shortage issue is everyone constantly getting tested when they think they may be sick or they have a runny nose. Most of those already vaccinated. They are obsessed with it.

test kits are the problem. the media induced psychosis has people getting tests that don't need them. The last three times I got tested (two due to close proximity with a suspected positive case, once for a medical procedure), it was self-administered.

Taking 10min for someone at the drive-thru at CVS to stick a test kit in the drawer and talk you through the procedure which is 100% DIY including packaging the sample and dropping in the box....yeah, that's wasteful.

The reasons the pharmacies insist is that the tests are HUGE cash cows. A good friend of mine...his friends own a private pharmacy in Northern Virginia and are pulling in $300K a day IN PROFIT due to the pandemic and associated testing and vaccine administration. $300K a day in profit for a single day...let that sink in.

cliff notes; omicron appears to be a separate branch, possible second lab leak. Or, could be an (intentional) antidote of sorts to Delta (i.e. conferring natural immunity).

quote:

First, look at the phylogenetic tree (it’s basically a family tree for viruses). This image comes from an article in Science, which in turn got it from nextstrain.org:



The x-axis shows time, with earlier times on the left of the graph, later times on the right. The y-axis shows how mutated the viruses are, compared to the original SARS-CoV-2 and to each other. Notice how over time, with natural mutations occurring, the original SARS-CoV-2 has gradually gotten more diverse. You can see delta variants there (in green) nested in what looks like a naturally expanding variety of viruses over time. That’s the main “wedge shape” you see, and it’s what you’d expect to see.

But then look at omicron. It’s the red cluster in the upper right. It’s very, very different. It’s way off the “natural” family tree of descendants of the original SARS-CoV-2. What’s more, if you trace its “stalk” back (i.e., if you look where it branched off from the “family tree”), you see it sprang from an “ancestor” from sometime in Spring 2020.

So, how did that happen? How did it suddenly appear in November 2021, when its “forefather” was a version of the virus that was common in mid-2020?

And where is all the natural variation in between? Why is it not like the other variants, nested in that natural-looking spreading set of gradually mutating descendants?

One parsimonious hypothesis is that some engineering has been done to it, in order to make its evolution look so unnatural. I have not heard another parsimonious hypothesis.

Putting this at the top of the page....nobody has read this but me? Look at the red in the graphic. WTAF?

Leftist Who Keeps Taking COVID Tests Says He Can Quit Anytime




The Babylon Bee/Health
January 3, 2022

ARLINGTON, VA—A local family held an impromptu intervention for their son, Eric Chag, 35, who has been taking up to 24 COVID tests a day.

“I can quit anytime I want!” screeched Eric. “I’m not out of control! You’re all out of control! I’m going to cancel you from my room!”

The family first became concerned after Eric’s nose fell off.

“He said it was just a drug problem,” informed his mother, Olivia Chag. “But then I started to notice Q-Tips piling up in the trash. [My husband] never cleans his ears so I was immediately suspicious.”

“I just don’t understand it,” admitted Eric’s father, George Chag. “I’m a proud Democrat. I sat him down to explain ‘the Covid and the bees,’ but I just wanted him to wear a mask when he drives—not go insane!”

Though the initial intervention proved unsuccessful, his loving family isn’t giving up on him.

“We’re trying to explain to him that this is an incredibly deadly virus and his life is never going to be the same again,” said his mother, Olivia Chag. “But then—I don’t know where I was going with this. Mask up, I guess.”

“Right, mask up,” agreed his father, George Chag. “With at least three masks.”

At publishing time, Eric Chag was rejected by a local rehab center due to a fever.

More bad news on Covid vaccines and myocarditis in men under 40 - even as more colleges require booster shots for students
Alex Berenson

A huge new study has found the risk of serious heart problems called myocarditis in men under 40 soars with each dose of a Covid mRNA vaccine - and is sharply higher than the risk from a coronavirus infection itself.

The findings call into sharp question the efforts by American colleges and universities to make their students receive booster shots before returning to school this January - especially since other studies have shown that the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is concentrated not merely in men under 40 but in those aged 16-25.

The study, which British researchers released in late December, showed that the risk of myocarditis almost doubled after the first Pfizer shot in men under 40. Then it doubled again after the second and doubled again after the third - to almost eight times the baseline risk.

SOURCE: https://www.medrxiv.org/conten....21268276v1.full.pdf

For the Moderna vaccine, the risks were even higher, reaching 16-fold after the second shot. (The risk of a third Moderna shot could not be calculated because too few people received it.)

Because each Moderna shot contains 100 micrograms of mRNA, while each Pfizer shot contains 30, the findings suggest strongly that the heart risks are dose-related and likely to continue to rise with each additional shot.

The study also contained some evidence that post-vaccine myocarditis might be more dangerous than other forms of myocarditis. It showed a trend towards higher death rates in people hospitalized for myocarditis after vaccination compared to other myocarditis cases.

Both myocarditis and pericarditis are forms of heart inflammation that can be very serious, even deadly. In an appendix, the researchers reported that 263 Britons were hospitalized for myocarditis within four weeks of receiving a Pfizer shot; of those, 38, or 14 percent, died. Only about 9 percent of people hospitalized for myocarditis that did not follow an mRNA vaccination died.

The researchers did not look at other potential cardiovascular risks, such as heart attacks or irregular heartbeats, although American and European databases of post-vaccine side effects contain many reports of those as well.

The findings come even as many colleges and universities - including public schools like the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, large private schools such as Syracuse University, and Ivy League institutions such as Princeton University - demand that their students receive a booster Covid shot before returning to campus.

That’s good information, thanks.

Nice of you to basically tell me my team is a bunch of dishonest scumbags...

And how am I getting a test when there are NO TESTS TO BE FOUND AROUND HERE and all the urgent cares and other places are jammed up with panicky sheep with sniffles?

lighten up Francis!

Seriously don't get your panties all bunched up, it wasn't directed at you or your team, its about how the situation is being handled by companies, and employees who use it to get WAH options whenever they don't want to work in the office that week and the HR rules that allow it, happens every week at the wifes company, 12,000 total employees, nationwide, and is a discussion topic at management meetings and dinner...

Hmmmm, Mrs. Mike bought 500 tests last week, we just had to go pick them up (in town) and she just bought 50k tests yesterday for her company. They will be here next week. They are shipping them out to their food distribution centers for when the center population hits 10% or higher for C19. Then everyone will get a test and cleared to work or sent home for quarantine.

10-20 years from now all we are going to see on TV are ads like the ones now for asbestos exposure:

Men, if you were vaccinated with an MRNA injection in your 20’s and have ongoing heart problems, call 1-800-XXX-XXXX or visit the link below for more information! We may be able to get YOU a large cash settlement!”


It’s coming.

Nope... Unfortunately, Big Pharma has been granted 100% immunity from liability.
The only way anyone is collecting anything is from government (which would be very limited) or from an employer who mandated the shot.

Actually, there is one other possibility:
If (big IF) it could be proven that Big Pharma is lying about the trial results and aware that they are killing people, they could be found criminally liable (think Nuremberg trials) and people could go to jail or be executed for crimes against humanity.

I know he's been given Cetirizine and methylprednisolone; he didn't mention triamcinolone. I'll get in touch with him tonight and suggest it, though.

It’s taken me several days, the podcast is 3 hours long, but I hope I can influence many of you to watch/listen to, the Joe Rogan interview with Dr. Robert Malone. It’s been mentioned a time or two in this thread, but hasn’t generated much heat, and I think it should. Spotify carries the “Joe Rogan Experience,” and access to his show is free. This is important stuff.

I’ll add, if you search his name, you’ll see many articles from MSM outlets and political commentators discrediting Dr. Malone. Watch and judge for yourself.

Not much to judge in this 20 minute snippet posted above, you really need to go to Spotify and start from the beginning. Hopefully, it will catch your interest, because there’s a lot packed into the 3 hours.
