four times.....I'm glad he's mentioning a vaccine because the crazy anti-vaxxers have aligned with the right-wing white supremacy movement and they've also co-oped some of the new-agers (it's very troubling because I'm into new-thought)...

I've been very saddened by their paranoid political comments that it's a hoax or conspiratorial obedience trial and/or social media platform censorships of what the platforms are calling "quackery" and misinformation yet fail to stop Russian trolls doing worse. To be sure there are political issues in shaping public health, but how these "gurus" could go headlong into such paranoia is unsettling.

Furthermore, I view my nutritional choices as personal, and I advocate for those approaches I think have merit. Alas, my practice doesn't match my preaching, and the SAD keeps winning out too often, lol! Most allopathic doctors are indoctrinated on the merits of a drug for every symptom but have not received much training in what is being suggested by advanced research into biochemical pathways of the human body. I also read newsletters from labroots.com regularly; they are freely available and cite published journals. New information is being learned and/or validated every single day!

That said, I'm not sure a minimally tested vaccine is a good thing; haste makes waste. In the meantime, I don't much appreciate platforms that censor alternative suggested ways to lessen the severity of illness of CoVid-19 before or after infection or mangle the common sense old ways to avoid the tiny bugger (like filtered masks?) in public, and increased hygiene at home. Being in the risk category, I prefer just to stay home, but it doesn't help my car is too sick to drive either.

There was little therapy at the beginning of the spread of this novel virus's spread including the rush to ventilators for the strange pneumonia that didn't seem to work very well to alleviate the suffering and death let alone being available in adequate numbers just like the PPEs. OK, so our docs and wonderful nurses went by a previous standard of care without the old common sense methods worthy of a CD4 facility holding Ebola on the loose as best they could. Without sufficient gear nor accommodations for the sick of a pandemic, and it certainly appears a lot was caused maliciously and purposely for whatever Dimwit Donnie needed for his sadistic, narcissistic supply and ambitions. He's been unfit for that office from the start and will leave a horrendous mess! Thanks GOP for all the cortisol in my veins and arteries that now needs neutralized; it kills same as bears. Opting for "new thought" meditation because it's better than wine, ice cream, or Cheetos, or fresh broccoli! LOL!
