President Biden was diagnosed with COVID yesterday. He is vaccinated and double boosted, and his symptoms are said to be mild. Per CDC guidelines, he has begun taking Paxlovid, the anti-viral medication that reduces the risk of progression to severe disease. This seems a simple decision, but it isn’t for a number of reasons.
I remember early on with the Covid epidemic that some of the first fatalities that we saw at a hospital where I worked was with patients who had atrial fibrillation or severe coronary artery disease.
Covid also has a hyper-coagulation effect. It does seem very risky to stop coagulation of a geriatric patient with A-fib, especially with an infection that has severe hyper-coagulation effects.
I knew someone who was successfully treating patients with Covid hypoxia using hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an alternative to mechanical ventilation. One of his few unfortunate outcomes was a patient who had a pulmonary embolism despite HBOT having an anti-coagulation effect and the patient being on a heparin drip.
In late 2021 here in SW Sydney, Australia, a street vendor in his late 60s had THREE modernas when people only had two at the most. He got an achy heart after the second one, so his QUACK got him a third! I could not believe my ears. It is like someone was feeling tipsy after the second bottle, so he was given the third! It was beyond common sense. Either he learned his med by rote; or he had a superstitious belief in what he was told.
Where are the irrefutable proofs that he:
1. Has been vaccinated; and
2. Has c19?
How come people don't "cross-examine" any claim made before they react anymore?
