COVID OMICRON Thread

[Ingomike]

Personally, I think having a "Big Pharma" is a lot better than not having one,

Agree to disagree. The consolidation of the industry was/is not in the best interests of the people. When one looks at all the fines and corruption even our corrupt government finds in big pharma it is an industry in need major reform…

Um....Trump got Big Pharma bazllions....so there's that. Personally, I think having a "Big Pharma" is a lot better than not having one, pandemic or not.

I disagree. Having more competition would be better. The more a industry consolidates, the worse it tends to be for consumers.

Not to mention the bigger they are, the further into their pockets the politicians are and the more they can get away with.

What is the government barrier to entry?

I've been saying it since I saw those idiots on TV talking about the "evil economy" and how you want grandma to die so you can make some $$$
As soon as supply shortages hit hospitals, they'll start screaming then.
Hospitals need drugs, electricity, finely calibrated sensitive electronics, and a MILLION other things, only supplied by an ECONOMY.

All the regulations put in place that big pharma can live with and pass the costs on to you and I but kill small businesses. These type of questions are asked creating an assumption there is a single simple answer.

I do believe the jabs are helping but unfortunately they are not foolproof such as advertised when they came out. I also don't consider them a one size fits all and the mandates are complete BS. A good friend of mine had a buddy just pass away because of covid, early 50's, vax'd(maybe even boosted), and no underlying conditions. Unfortunately it was his time. I think if there was some more honestly from TPTB from the get go we'd have less vax hesitancy. But apparently they thought they could scare everyone into taking the shots and are now upset that some people don't scare easily.

I think the term is "fool proof".

you'd be correct... fool

Hi Doc. Are you hearing anything about shortages on the monoclonal antibodies? Sean Hannity was just accusing the feds of manipulating the supply.

Definitely shortages. Desantis has alleged supply manipulation for months.

But... It's an antibody against spike protein, that Omicron has 20+ mutations on. They are not recommending Regeneron or BAM for Omicron. There is one MAB that works better but it is in very limited supply. We don't have it to my knowledge

NO! You need to take a Lysol can into a very small room, like a walkin closet or bathroom. Empty the entire can into the air (2 cans if you have them) just like a bug fogger. Then stand in the room and inhale deeply at least 10 time while standing. Then again while sitting, and one more time...

Point out that "no working economy" means "no food".
And if they don't live on a farm, they might start to get hungry.
Also, hospitals use MANY things that won't be available soon.

Huh... :

Study: More Than Half Of Omicron Hospitalizations Weren’t Actually For COVID-19

A majority of COVID-19 hospitalizations during the South African Omicron variant wave weren't actually for the virus, a new study has found.

Um....Trump got Big Pharma bazllions....so there's that.

Yes.
I voted for Trump in both general elections, but "Operation Warp Speed" really pissed me off. IMO, it got the ball rolling on the rushed and premature approval process of the mRNA shots.

Florida hospital system says 50% of its COVID patients are mainly there for other reasons

The nationwide picture is unclear, but many of those in COVID-19 hospitalization statistics are not there primarily because of the coronavirus.

If AOC gets her way and there are no more petroleum products, yeah. Medicine makes heavy use of virgin plastics in almost every aspect of treatment from syringes and IV tubes to dialysis machines.
