It's now been 54 hours since my second Pfizer shot. Still nothing. No fever, no nausea, no headaches, no chills, none of the bad side effects everyone said that they get. My arm is starting to recover as well. Happy days.

I can't wait for a vaccine passport system to be implemented so I can go on about my life like normal, I'm sick of being stuck in lockdown. I need a haircut asap

I only got a sore arm and felt mildly fatigue.

Dude what kind of funky website is that????

What the fukk is wrong with you nikkas? People aren't going to get that shyt because you nikkas want them to. It is what it is. Move on. Nagging ass bytches on here.

part of me agrees with you. Idgaf if any antivaxxers die tbh. Horse to water, etc.


but as we see in many states, hospital resources are being stretched thin because of the unvaxxed. It poses a risk to people who need ICUs for random shyt like car accidents.

It’s a tough one.

Florida’s COVID deaths climb as children lead state in positivity rate

Media might be on that propaganda because we had to take my grandma to emergency 3 weeks ago and there was no issues getting her in. Stood there for several hours and didn’t see much action going in.

I’m in LA county, FYI, and it’s calming down a bit.

Knew this shyt was gonna turn the majority of the world into paranoid weirdos. If people actually kept themselves clean and be mindful of others there wouldn’t be much of an issue. But mu fukkas are nasty and don’t give a fukk about shyt, so here we are.

Dont know Trumps take on Covid so thats mute to me and did you see the man get vaccinated or you heard it. I don't have access to elite medical services but Pro Athletes do and they seem to not want to take the vaccine and even their teams aren't forcing them so theres that

They think any differing opinion ties you to Trump.

 

[RareHunter]

10,464 out of 640k+ covid deaths in the US are people under 40 years old

How many of these people died solely to covid or just with covid?

It is propaganda.

shyt is scary now, especially how these places are treating those who don’t have the vac. I hope it ain’t too bad when flu season rolls around.

Eventually, 90% of the world would have caught it, vac or not.

 

[Smokin Rider]

They're experimenting on inmates in Arkansas.

‘Like Tuskegee’: Southern Jail Treats COVID With Dangerous, Unproven Drug Ivermectin

The head doctor at an Arkansas jail has been treating inmates suffering from COVID-19 with ivermectin, a drug commonly used to treat parasites in animals. A version of the same drug has been approved by the FDA for topical diseases in humans, but warned against by the agency as completely unproven—and downright dangerous—in treating the coronavirus.

Still, the drug has been prematurely and widely hyped by conservatives and far-right types—some of whom oppose vaccines—as a sort of latter-day pandemic miracle drug. As The Daily Beast reported, this recently set off a wave of disturbing prescriptions and even calls to poison-control centers, in some cases over people who apparently took the “horse paste” version of the drug intended for animals.

Eva Madison, a Justice of the Peace in Washington County, told The Daily Beast she found out about the treatments of the inmates on Tuesday, which were first reported by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

According to Madison, a county employee had been sent to the jail to get a COVID test, which turned out to be negative. Nonetheless, Robert Karas, a doctor who has overseen treatment and testing of inmates throughout the pandemic, allegedly prescribed the employee with 50 tablets of ivermectin, with a recommended dosage of 10 tablets per day. The pharmacy where the prescription was sent, Live + Well Pharmacy, confirmed to The Daily Beast that Karas has been filling out prescriptions there for ivermectin for both inmates and other patients.

Karas did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.

According to Madison, the county employee instead told his primary care physician about the prescription and his doctor told him to “throw it in the trash.”

Madison said she is concerned that the more than 600 inmates rotating in and out of the Washington County Detention Center don’t have the same ability to get a second opinion or question the treatment they’re given. “Our inmates do not have that choice,” she said.

Madison said she brought the issue up to Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder on Tuesday, who she said she’d always had a good relationship with. She expected Helder to handle the situation or at least express concern. But instead, she said, he defended Karas.

“I was shocked,” Madison told The Daily Beast.

A spokeswoman for Helder initially declined to answer questions about the treatment or when it began to be used on inmates. “Dr. Karas with Karas Correctional Health is the medical provider contracted to care for the needs of the detainees, so I will have to refer you to him,” she told The Daily Beast.

Later, the spokeswoman told The Daily Beast that Helder only learned about Karas treating inmates who had tested positive for COVID with ivermectin on Tuesday afternoon. The Democrat Gazette reported Helder was informed about the use of ivermectin on inmates in July by Karas, but the spokeswoman said that was incorrect.

Madison said she spoke to Karas directly about the treatment on Tuesday, but that the doctor seemed unmoved and told her that he and members of his family have been taking the treatment to prevent against COVID. When questioned about the fact that the FDA has been adamant in warning against the use of the drug for COVID treatment, she said Karas cited a National Institutes of Health study to make his case.

But when Madison said she pointed out that the NIH concluded in a February report that there was “insufficient evidence” to recommend for or against the use of the drug for COVID treatment, Karas cited a web page published by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance that purports to contain the “scientific rationale that justifies the use of ivermectin in COVID-19.”

According to The Scientist, the FLCCC wrote a paper arguing the benefits of ivermectin as a treatment that had been provisionally accepted and posted by the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology in January. However, by March, the paper was rejected and removed because editors found that it contained unsubstantiated claims. Nonetheless, the outlet reported, the paper had been widely viewed and shared by that point.

ACLU of Arkansas Statement on use of Ivermectin at Washington County Jail

LITTLE ROCK -- On Tuesday, August 24, at a Quorum Court Finance & Budget Committee meeting, it was revealed that a medical provider for a Washington County jail treated individuals for COVID-19 with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug commonly used for livestock. The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against using the drug to treat COVID-19, stating: "FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses)."

Holly dikkson, Executive Director of the ACLU of Arkansas issued the following statement on the use of the unapproved treatment:

“No one - including incarcerated individuals - should be subject to medical experimentation. Sheriff Helder has a responsibility to provide food, shelter and safe, appropriate care to incarcerated people. The FDA has said that misuse of ivermectin for COVID-19 can cause serious harm including seizures, comas, and even death. The detention center's failure to use safe and appropriate treatments for COVID-19, in conjunction with Sheriff Hedler’s request to use COVID-19 relief money to expand the jail, illustrates the larger systemic problem of mistreatment of detainees and over incarceration in Arkansas that has persisted--even in the midst of a pandemic.”

These southern states need to be stopped.

[Absolut]

Nah, you absolutely can when they’re busy telling us that doctors, scientists, and professors can’t be trusted and you have to do your own research.

And then turn around and eat up anything Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, racist people on FB, and Twitter morons throw out there.

It’s absolutely the fault of the random person, 98% of the time. They just want to be contrarian.

Those are the idiots. There’s lots of people who just read the misleading headlines and flawed studies purported by thought to be reputable sources
