I keep being surprised by the people who rely on published science as if the claims therein somehow represent quality information. How many lies does it take? How many exposes of the fraud and incompetence does it take? How often do people need to be reminded that peer review is NOT a quality measure? It isn’t intended to ensure accuracy and never has been.

Folks, science is broken. Our doctors are being censored and intimidated. Big Brother is here. Why would anyone trust the claims of our public health establishment now?

Somewhere along the line I saw a break down from some country or state of the chance of death if you were in a nursing home/assisted living setting vs. if you lived at a single residence or at least not in congregate care and it was a huge difference. Being in poor health is a bigger risk than age alone.

Right from the start I’ve written about how although the risks are sobering they have not justified the extreme reaction. Perhaps the “2 weeks to slow the curve” part was justified, and maybe a few weeks after that, but not a lot of other things that have happened.

I for one do not think the vaccines are dangerous but they may be counterproductive for a lot of healthy people under 60 though.

The one thing that is so sad to me is that even for relatively healthy people over 65 the recovery rate is very high even without the vaccine but the way some people act you would think it is a certain death sentence and with the vax for those at risk groups it probably is even less likely that one would have a severe reaction. At this point the risk is probably less to some at risk groups from COVID now than it was the flu in the Before Times and people never lived in such constant fear.

But this boost every six months thing is not good for the individual or the society.

I assume nothing of the sort.

I have researched the question. People here regularly post links to articles that purport to prove how dangerous the vaccines are. None of them have passed my smell test.

There are certain risks to certain segments of the population – I’m not going to take the time to go into the details here. But even to those populations, the risks are very small.

My DPC costs $67 a month. I can go in for a visit, call her, email her, whatever. If I was really sick, she would probably come to my home. There is no insurance involved. The doctor has a small pharmacy which she charges basically at her cost. She has agreements with local labs and radiology centers for them to see her patients and then she passes along the costs, not inflated prices.

There is also a new service of mobile doctors and PAs, for those days you don’t want to wait in the ER or doc in the box place. I think they run the charges through insurance, but it is easier if you are bed-ridden.

I still have insurance, but, I have better physician care at overall less cost. The insurance is for potential hospital or specialty care.

Bahaha!
