Lol they were doing flyovers to honor the hero doctors and nurses that were killing people with vents and denying treatment to ppl that had a lick of sense and didn't get the jab.

This is such an awesome post. And let's not forget, F16 was all over this. This forum was touting MANY doctors who were preaching against the machinations of Fauci and his "science" minions. We were called crazy, anti-science, anti-vax, horse-dewormers - all because we were listening to incredibly accomplished doctors like Pierre Kory and Peter McCullough.
So much information was there and ignored by most of the medical community, so there's no ****ing excuse. The right thing could have been done by all doctors. Most chose the path of least resistance and millions died. Wishing it didn't happen doesn't change a ****ing thing.

We agree it was patently obvious from the beginning children's immune sustained had zero issues beating the virus with no significant risks - yet education was cancelled, socialization was eliminated and the medical community pushed unnecessary vaccines on them. Ok. I think that's a really big damn deal.

We completely disagree on masks. Hospitals have from 12 to 20 different types of N95 masks on hand for infectious disease units, and I think you know that. They are also required to "fit test" every clinical personnel that works in those areas annually, to know which as effective for their faces. They also have to train annually on things like dawning and doffing correctly. I consider that knowledge very basic in the medical science world - and the fact that we know that means we also always knew the cloth masks and surgical masks (most often worn below the damn chin) were worthless, yet the medical community insisted we continue for 2 ridiculous years

We also disagree that Covid-19 mutated any differently or quicker than almost every other crown shaped respiratory virus

I don't have a problem being shown I was wrong with data, even by someone who never was involved in caring for these patients.
What I have no tolerance for is people who don't even know how to assess data beyond what media article tells them, and who never put themselves in any position of risk or role to help these patients in any capacity, lecturing me on how I'm a terrible human because OAN told them "ventilators killed millions of people".

You're probably talking about me and that's fine. I'm not a medical professional, but I would have better served covid patients than you. Not because of OAN, but because of doctors who were literally screaming the solution as loud as they could, just to be ignored by doctors like you.
Dr. Kory and Dr.McCulluogh testified in front of Congress about the successful treatments for Covid in 2020. You want to guess how many Democrats even showed up for their testimony? ZERO!! The idealogues on the left didn't want to hear possible solutions, they had an agenda other than saving lives, and you and Fauci and the majority of medical professionals fell right in line with all of it.
No, I'm not a doctor, but I was here every day parroting those solutions given by Kory and McCullough and you fought me tooth and nail on all of it. And now you say "we just didn't know and we wish it could've been different... we wish we could change it".
You and so many like you could have. You just didn't listen. And you're still not listening
Here's just 2 links about ventilators and Remdesivir.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7907730/#:~:text=Our%20findings%2C%20based%20on%20postmarketing,with%20findings%20from%20another%20group.
Our findings, based on postmarketing real-life data from >5000 COVID-19 patients, support that kidney disorders, almost exclusively AKI, represent a serious, early, and potentially fatal adverse drug reaction of remdesivir. These results are consistent with findings from another group.4 Physicians should be aware of this potential risk and perform close kidney monitoring when prescribing remdesivir.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencealert.com/most-covid-19-deaths-may-be-the-result-of-a-completely-different-infection/amp
new analysis suggests that a high percentage of people who required help from a ventilator due to a COVID-19 infection also developed secondary bacterial pneumonia. This pneumonia was responsible for a higher mortality rate than the COVID-19 infection.
So while COVID-19 may have put these patients in the hospital, it was actually an infection brought on by the use of a mechanical ventilator that was more likely to be the cause of death when this infection didn't respond to treatment.
For the record, I will tell my covid story again.
I started taking ivermectin in mid-2020 to prevent covid. By November or so, I still hadn't gotten it and thought I was out of the woods and stopped taking it.
In January of 2022, I finally got covid and felt horrible, as sick as I've been in many years. I immediately took ivermectin and acetaminophen. In 12 hours, I was 90% better. Back to work in 5 days.
My story is VERY common, and yet I still talk to people who have never heard of ivermectin. It's a disgrace and a huge tumor on the body of the medical profession.

Yeah. Small minded people, some of whom I know very well, would tell everyone "I just got my first shot on April 3rd and get my next one on such and such date." I would ask do they post when they put ointment on a hemorrhoid. Time and time again I was told they were going to trust their doctor and I'd say why, they don't know much more about it than you do, and you don't know much at all. And that they were "going to trust the experts" and I'd say like Dr. Fauci? And that I bet you don't know much about his past. Or that he worships Hillary Clinton. And that is who you are going to trust?BudFox7 said:

I mean, they WERE effective. They were also sold as something they weren't, in many cases by well intentioned individuals. But as a means of decreasing morbidity/mortality for the highest risk groups they very much did that.
I think it would be better if they keep the medical tag and add a Teacher tag. Medical professionals and Teachers were the two most righteous and vindictive groups during the scamdemic.

One early concern was that the coronaviruses that caused colds would generally only give immunity for a year or so and that any covid vaccine might easily have that short a period for it to give immunity, wasn't it?Infection_Ag11 said:
Now, I will say I had some fairly intense debates with colleagues in public health early on that we need to prepare for the reality that this probably wouldn't stop transmission.
Coronavirus mutation was a publicly discussed certainty in the early mRNA talk. Those espousing "but for mutation we did the right thing!" are not serious people & shouldn't be treated as such.eric76 said:One early concern was that the coronaviruses that caused colds would generally only give immunity for a year or so and that any covid vaccine might easily have that short a period for it to give immunity, wasn't it?Infection_Ag11 said:

This is just completely untrue. Nobody had ANY knowledge of this virus when it first hit the western hemisphere, because the only place we had data from flagrantly lied about literally everything. And the fact that covid, particularly the initial strain, diverged WILDLY in pathogenicity and transmissibility from the most comparable prior viruses we have experience with.

The evolution of the covid variants, particularly the manner in which they mutated, was both unique and on a rate/scale virology is just not very familiar with. And again, probably the most ignored scientifically indisputable fact on this board is that the vaccines in their first year of use demonstrably decreased the rates of severe disease and death in adults over the age of 50 and the benefit was greater the older you were. With respect to the active strain at the time the vaccine was rolled out, it took the mortality of an 85 year old with 2+ chronic medical conditions down to that of a healthy young adult in their 30s.
Did the claims of decreased transmission turn out to be largely incorrect? Yes. Did the benefits decrease with time and mutations? Absolutely. Was there ever a good reason to vaccinate 12 year olds? No (and if you check I was clearly stating this from the start when these were rolled out). Was the adverse event rate understated in certain populations, particularly in very young men? Yes.

With all due respect, I disagree.
The problem is younger docs lack confidence and are going to do whatever the medical establishment says.
I have encountered a handful of doctors over the years that had a God complex. Most times when I visit the doctor I don't need God; I just need some antibiotics. Fortunately, the God Complex Doctors are more an exception than typical so I don't agree with OSP.
That said I don't think young doctors are the sole reason either. I work in engineering, specifically public works projects, where there is a certain degree of licensure and certification and where public safety is priority one. In some ways it is like being a doctor where someone comes to you with a problem, and you have to diagnose it and offer a solution. It is suppose to involve a lot of critical thinking, but the economic pressures mean there are limits on time and budget, so the response is often derived from "how did we address the last problem?" or "what is everyone else doing?" Critical thinking can often fall in priority to expediency. That is not an insult to you personally. I find your posts to be highly enlightened, but I think the medical profession is not immune to those economic pressures. There is a lot of groupthink and monkey-see monkey do in the medical industry, IMO, and I think the national COVID response was a prime example.
