He lost me when he was worried about Covid.

is that because you don't feel covid was a worrisome virus? At the time -- early July, 2020, it was hard to know what was worrisome and what wasn't.

Sorry about the delay, but I caught the creeping crud from one of my gkids….

When Covid hit in 2020, I was 69 and awaiting a kidney transplant. I read and watched everything available. By late March/early April, I was an advocate of getting out and getting the virus…..(exceptions for compromised, elderly…(decide for self how elderly u r…).

I read that the clinical trials lasted less than a year…..not sufficient in anyone’s opinion.

I also followed the different protocols in different countries.

I saw/heard the total rejection of ivermectin, etc. & I watched many doctors supporting it & other protocols)

I watched Fauci lie like a rug about masks.

I watched & read about how testing for Covid was almost nil or guaranteed depending on the testing device was calibrate)

I watched the FDA withhold their decision about vaccine approval in late September/early October……so as NOT to influence the election .

I pretty much didn’t believ anything that was being spouted.

I could go on and on and on…..

BTW….I got my kidney in late January, 2021. It was in Florida, a state that didn’t close done hospital operations that were not essential. Mine wasn’t by any means.

It just struck me that the guy posting his views hadn’t done his homework about viruses, much less watching and paying attention to the new.

I'm with you Stephen, I was a nurse and called BS on how they were handling their rubbish "pandemic" I said to my fellow nurses I believe this is a scheme to push another vaxx. I'm so over this rubbish. I've lost faith in the 'health' system, the government, law enforcement and humans! All my faith is in God alone.

I in no way have written anything against the vaccines. This original post isn’t remotely about vaccines. But, for some reason, it has inspired a lot of conspiracists to respond.

That is absolutely bs! Read the data from the vaers sites! Explain all the excess deaths since the rollout! You live in a bubble and talk absolute ignorance. So many people injured or killed from those shots. I worked in a hospital, I've seen more people die from the flu! Old and young! Yes this affected people who had damaged immune systems already. The only people who should have been quarantined were sick people! What sort of lunatics tell healthy people to quarantine????

I’m right there with you. I’m an RN, was working in a hospital through it all. Reading John Ioannides and knew early on it was far less harmful than their fear porn was pushing. I’m just trying to be forgiving. I will say…that I keep thinking about how those who continue to live as if that dominant narrative are incapable of navigating reality going forward. I pray their egos allow them to reconsider. Be well. Happy you got your kidney!

Who funded it? And what was the purpose?

Expand full comment
Gabrielle's avatar

Well we funded it via our taxes. Gain of function, NIH etc. it’s a massive web. The Twitter files revealed a portion of the information control. Too deep and wide for a comment. Purpose? Global control. Check out the work of Dr David Martin. But be warned, you have to be willing to realize you’ve been conned. Some other perspectives to explore…John Campbell. I don’t ask to be rude but what do you think that was all about? Do you still believe it was an authentic, organic happening?

Stephen P. Williams's avatar

I don't know if the virus was manufactured or "organic," of course. But I don't see any evidence that it was used for global control -- i mean, look at the world. Do you see anyone in "control." I also know that the virus was "real," in that it existed and caused a lot of deaths. It affected me. I was in NYC in the beginning of it, and thousands of people died. I know that many mistakes were made, but I've never seen evidence of a global conspiracy. How could such a consipiracy work? It's hard to keep a secret with only 3 people, let alone millions of people, in on it.

Ok…don’t look it up…tell me honestly what you think the infection fatality rate was for Covid.

Do you know about the emails between fauci and Francis Collins re silencing “fringe” scientists?

Where did “6 feet apart” come from?

What do you know about the medication remdesivir?

Why was ivermectin use mocked by the FDA?

How long is a vaccine usually tested?

Why did they want to hide the vaccine data for 75 years?

Have you read the vaccine inserts?

That’s a start. Messaging control has been around since the beginning of time. There have always been dominant groups controlling the masses very effectively.

I’m thinking, since I was basically home bound…due to my kidney & not Florida dictates….that I may have had more time to see reporting & interviews on the TV and such. My dad was a country doctor, I have a doctor sister, a doctor daughter, a Nurse practitioner….(as you can see, the women have the brains in the family).

It has come to light in the last 3-4 years that, via congressional hearings, analysis of the money trail and who was involved in trying to stamp out dissent to the Covid protocols, etc. I came to my conclusions

Not to mention,….when all was aid and done…the vaccines didn’t work (NOTE: IOU’s mutate like mad….there is no way to keep up with the viral mutatation, just by making a new vaccine and all the experts say to take it.

No clue why this occurred, but usually money has something to do with lies and deceit by government experts

Patris's avatar

I don’t disagree that viruses mutate. It’s the reason they are studied in laboratories- both government and in university settings particularly. And adapted to new strains.

My youngest came home from work, unable to take a breath without violently coughing. She stopped at a clinic and was tested for pneumonia. The doctor there told her it was pneumonia but she matched every symptom for Covid. Wasn’t permitted to go to the ER because they told her they feared it was Covid and they had no treatment.

She recovered - her family including the little ones went through it. When she could be tested it was confirmed. Long Covid has affected her heart. But she’s alive.

Perhaps where you live the contagion wasn’t as widespread as here. It took friends of my son’s in NYC, my cousin on Long Island, a neighbor in Brooklyn.

This was no illusion. Or scam.

I’m an ex-New Mexico resident and I’ve traveled by bicycle there – through Santa Fe national forest, black mountain area, lots of places – I’m currently in Oregon and I am still pedaling – the peace that I find this way is deep and sustaining. While out and about these days, I converse with people all the time, many that are living one day to the next without an address and I make trades for stuff in their shopping carts and such like a lighter for an old t-shirt, or a stocking cap for half bottle of coke, and yes, even a can of beer for a quarter.

What I absolutely hate is that people are living in constant fear of even touching someone for fear of getting CoVid - not that I am angry or upset with them for the fear, but that they have lost freedom and peace because of that fear.

Well, covid is contagious. And some people get pretty sick. So that seems like a good reason for trying to avoid it. Perhaps they feel they gain freedom by avoiding illness.

I know it sounds really strange. Dr. Ardis, who I find to be kind of arrogant, is the one who brought this to the fore. However, I have found it works. I'll be honest, CoVid and the attempt, initially, at forcing the vaccines, combined with the effects of the vaccines which I saw in people I knew personally, have made an anti-vaxxer out of me. And I saw what Remdesivir and ventillators were doing to people in hospitals. They were leaving in body bags. I even knew a gal who had gone to my church who did not survive the vent and other hospital procedures. When I, not knowing I had Type 2 Diabetes, got a life-threatening case of Covid, 103 degree temp and a blood oxygen of 77%, I was turned around in less than 24 hours, by going to a doctor who prescribed Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, and "The Zellenko Protocol. (I'm getting to the point here, I assure you). However, (my belief is Covid is a lab concocted biowarfare agent), as Covid morphed (as it was further manipulated in labs and released), the Hydroxychloroquine seemed less effective. I got CoVid again and despite going through a whole bottle of HCQ, could not shake a terrible lung irritation. I started chewing Nicotine gum and the irritation was gone in less than a day. I have continued to chew it and have not been sick even once. I do know that if you run yourself down, overstress yourself, and eat garbage, you can still get a break through case of CoVid. My conclusion, at least anecdotally, is that Nicotine will work for prevention of Covid, but I would not use cigarettes as a delivery system. I do, however, know a heavy smoker who has never had CoVid even once. I believe there are others who will say that Nicotine has a positive effect in fighting CoVid. Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, when combined with Zinc, do also have both curative and preventative effects on CoVid, in my opinion and personal experience, despite what the offical liars would have you believe.

I'm not convinced that nicotine works as you say, but glad it seemed to help you. There's a famous artist who also believes in the preventive power of nicotine: https://nypost.com/2020/04/15/artist-david-hockney-says-smokers-are-immune-to-the-coronavirus/

Expand full comment
Atticus Faticus's avatar

Well, the one thing you have to say is the artist is still alive. I did read the article by the way. Thank you very much. As someone who at one time smoked 2 1/2 to 3 packs of cigarettes per day as a chain-smoking truck driver, I have to tell you that I cannot recommend that someone smoke cigarettes as a delivery system for nicotine. And there is much more within cigarette smoke that is addictive than nicotine. The cigarette companies wanted it that way and they did so deliberately. I use nicotine gum as the delivery system for nicotine, and I have truly come to believe that it has a positive effect on both the prevention and the cure of Covid. Now I am not saying that I would use nicotine exclusively to cure Covid, especially a severe case. I would use the Zelenko protocol, including either hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin and zinc. However, I think that it does make a good preventative, and a good adjunct to trying to cure a bad case of Covid. With that said, nicotine has to be used with care. It is a vasoconstrictor and probably not a good idea for someone who has narrowing of the arteries or blockages. I think it is possible to have a little bit of addiction to nicotine through chewing the gum, but it is nowhere near as severe as addiction to cigarettes. There is a dosage maximum it’s probably not a good idea to chew more than 10 or 12 pieces of 2 mg nicotine per day, although some people will have a greater toleration than others. By the way, this is for informational purposes only, I am not a doctor and I am not offering medical advice. Just information. Just an opinion.

Well I know smokers aren't as my daughter caught it and she smokes. She does have graves disease though so was probably more susceptible. My husband got it bad. I didn't get it, I also didn't get vaxxed. And after seeing my son become septic after the booster and his wife develop arrhythmia, glad I didn't get it!

You are a good man, and you clearly have a big heart, but each and everyone of us, entertains delusions and insane fantasies. How are you any different with your beliefs about the virus? God bless you, God bless me, and God bless that man on the road! It’s easy to see the maladies that other people have, so very hard for us to look within and really see our own!
