Very sorry for your loss!

I spent about 8 to 9 years of my Marine Career in 3rd Marines (of course I was probably only physically there for half of that), K-Bay, Kaneohe HI. 3/3 and 1/3. I LOVE Hawaii, but it is a liberal/socialist cesspool. Always has been. Some of the best times of my life was spent there...just beautiful. Too bad.

More of those damn masks for the landfills. I walk through my neighborhood every day for exercise. Everyday I see these masks laying around on the ground. Maybe they make it to the landfills or maybe they make it to the streams and lakes choking wildlife.
I counted 5 masks on my morning walk today.

I walk at the local county park just about every day. In the past, there might have been a stray bottle or fishing bobber on the ground. Now there are more masks than I'd care to count. I'd pick up that stray bottle or bobber and toss it into the nearest trash can. I won't touch those masks. Forget the China Flu, who knows what diseases the wearers may have...

I don't believe this has been posted.

4th vaccine shows limited results with omicron, Israel study finds

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli hospital on Monday said preliminary research indicates a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine provides only limited defense against the omicron variant that is raging around the world.

Sheba Hospital last month began administering a fourth vaccine to more than 270 medical workers — 154 who received a Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine and 120 others who received Moderna’s. All had previously been vaccinated three times with the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine.

The clinical trial found that both groups showed increases in antibodies “slightly higher” than following the third vaccine last year. But it said the increased antibodies did not prevent the spread of omicron.

“Despite increased antibody levels, the fourth vaccine only offers a partial defense against the virus
,” said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the hospital’s infection disease unit. “The vaccines, which were more effective against previous variants, offer less protection versus omicron.”

It's funny that they did a study on a vaccine with very limited efficacy on a variant of that same virus to find out if it was (less) effective. To me it's kind of like hitting your finger twice with a hammer to see if it actually hurts the second time.

I saw a cartoon where in Texas they use them to clean their guns. Found it.

OK, now it's hitting close to home, actually AT home. The wife complained of a scratchy throat for a couple of days, a sore throat this morning and then she said while in the kitchen she felt woozy, sat down in a chair and woke up on the floor with a bump on her head. Luckily we had bought one of those home test kits a few weeks ago, we tried it and she tested positive. Also, we have been using our smartphones to check spo2 levels for a few weeks, her tested 93% today. So we immediately started the protocol recommended by FLCCC, thank God I had ordered Ivermectin a couple of months ago. I'm gonna order more because those 6mg I ordered will go pretty fast. Anyway I can post updates for informational purposes if it helps anyone who might benefit from other people's experience.

I would also look for a local clinic that handles monoclonal antibody IVs and considerer her getting one. 12mg of the Ivermectin per day is what I have seen. Maybe a little more.

just an opinion/observation, not medical advice:

X2 on monoclonal antibodies. Sooner the better.
EDIT: FLCCC IVM dosage is based on weight. For me at 182 lbs about 25 32 mg per day for 5 days.(20 25 of the 6mg pills alltogether)
