Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

(Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security)

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

You certainly are tenacious Steve. I had an epiphany in 1990, with regard to health, when I was hosting a television show and exposed to an enormous amount of information on natural health. It was necessary for me to read between 100 and 200 books each year, for the show. I became a health warrior, talking to anyone and everyone who would listen. I went to politicians, to try and get them to run education programs on the maintenance of health, to try and avoid senseless degenerative disease and…

Do vaccines work or don't they? Risk vs Reward - is the Juice worth the squeeze? No, and no.

Before the vaccines were available, a small number of brave, hero, doctors proved that with Ivermectin protocols, a C19 vaccine wasn't needed much to the dismay of Herr Fauci who was positioned to getting stinking rich from Big Pharma.

Here are two such heros: zerohedge.com/covid-19/…

Vaccines don't work, and ivermectin also doesn't work. If you are saying it helped with symptoms - then maybe. But it doesn't kill covid.

Gary's avatar

Saying Ivermectin doesn't work for covid is like saying aspirin doesn't work for headaches or certain treatments don't work against the common cold. Most doctors and people who wanted Ivermectin was for treatment purposes as KTonCapeCod details below.

Those things you listed - don't work.

Gary's avatar

Like hell they don't. You have lost credibility for anyone who those treatments helped.

Show me one study where they tagged and tracked the molecule, from exogenous entity to wherever u think it ended up and did what you think it did. I don't want to hear about clinical trials and or RCTs or patient/doctor testimonies - I WANT actual visual proof that a molecule, of any kind, went into the body, and one, remained intact, two, bypassed digestive enzymes and immune defenses (to remain intact), 3, when to wherever they claim it went, 4, breached a cell and started doing X. Show us that study. I'll wait...

Well, there are in the literature papers demonstrating the direct nuking of destructive covid related mechanisms by ivermectin. There was a threshold of minimum effectiveness, and once hit and surpassed, it was game over for the bad guys.

That's one, for starters.

Every study you sent me was 2020 or 2021 - here is a more recent study provided by the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA);

jamanetwork.com/journal…

First article, first reference therein contains meta-study with restrictive criteria and proper registration (much data out the window) and has this neat little caveat:

"No trial investigated ivermectin for prevention of infection or compared ivermectin to an intervention with proven efficacy."

Pierre Kory is probably the world's #1 proponent of ivermectin, and he admits that the efficacy of the substance is squared directly over prevention and immediate onset.

Alpha strain showed highest response to ivermectin, subsequent strains showed more resistance. As virulence increased, the window to allow ivermectin a chance to be effective required either prophylactic dosing or immediately upon first symptoms.

Any trial which observes mild to severe covid is missing the window almost entirely, and much of the trials were excluded, so there was no broad net to find even "arguable" efficacy with such a trial setup.

Regardless, it was not about proving efficacy. The authorities loved to present it that way, because they believe they had a silver tool in a vaccine, but that never materialized, as all vaccinated got covid as well. So, a vaccine it was not, but for so long it was argued that selection of a "placebo" was "harmful" because it allowed vaccine avoidance--a now known falsehood.
