Nasal hygiene and vit d effective.

But the CDC would not promote anything that might help.

Nasal hygiene as in nasal sprays, or of the more powdery variety...

But seriously, I find it funny that many of the articles on a tripledemic only make mention of masking, vaccines, and isolation. No mention of diet, no mention of sleep, no mention of anything that we should already be doing. It's almost like we've been bred out of thinking that the most basic of principles aren't things we should be engaging in.

Salt water washes combined with leave in xylitol gse xclear or povidone iodine sprays for longer term inhibition of viral replication. And yes diet sleep herbs phytochemicals all protect. I feel it was also criminal not to recommend vitamin d as public service announcements.

I actually may consider a post on SAD (seasonal affective disorder, not sudden acute death) given that we are in winter now. I think it would be good to consider because of the malaise people are in.

The more I look at treatments the more I'm left curious, to be honest, because I wonder what the long term effects are for some treatments even if proven useful as well.

It certainly should have been criminal. "The science" is emphatic on the point. Vitamin D is the closest thing to a "magic bullet" we have against COVID.

"And i fear it will be long time until it is rooted out"

At this point in time I don't know that it ever will as there are SO many who are complicit and it is a worldwide effort to rid the earth of us; the general citizenry. How do we thwart that?

I'll be honest and say that I don't inherently ascribe to the depopulation notion, but that's mostly because I find it to be too pessimistic of a viewpoint. Ironic coming from me, but I think if the idea of depopulation itself leaves people scared then we should consider the harms in this mentality as well.

Also, I think you meant to comment on Stevanovitch's response but it ended up as a separate comment, just a heads up if that was the intent.

A conclusion of an immediately impending tornado from a reliable weather service is also, one could say, pessimistic. But hiding ones head under sand due to a dislike of the facts does not diminish their validity nor serve to help anyone deal with the stark realization. I am not alone in concluding, as was billgatesfromhell’s stated intention, that depopulation is the goal of elites.

Correct on my reply; my miscue. Regards the depopulation I believe it is perfectly acceptable to be too pessimistic as that is how large an evil this is; unlike any witnessed by humanity to this point because this is on a global scale. I think that it can greatly overwhelm a great many who would like to think that their political leaders aren't that evil but the truth is that they are. I need only know that Bill Gates is a player in this and that tells me all I need to know in this regard. That his father was tied to Planned Parenthood and he, himself has made comments to that effect. Thank you, again.

Walensky has lost any shred of credibility she may have ever had. The corruption runs deep. The evil ones have won, so far. And i fear it will be long time until it is rooted out. Rope will be in short supply.

Interestingly, one of the reasons we got into this mess was looking at the credibility of the speaker rather than what the speaker said. I think it's a serious issue in that many people may look at someone's title and infer that this has provided them some sense of credibility. If what they say is preposterous it doesn't matter what the title is because it doesn't change the inherent ridiculousness of the statements.

What has WHO said about masks? From WHO 2019 pub.

Non-pharmaceutical public health measures for mitigating the risk and impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza

section 4.3.

Face masks

Summary of evidence

“Ten relevant RCTs were identified for this review and meta-analysis to quantify the efficacy of community-based use of face masks”

“the evidence was insufficient to exclude chance as an explanation for the reduced risk of transmission.”

Real people speak: Face Masks have no measurable effect on stopping transmission of the Flu.

Interestingly, I think this is one place where the US has deviated from other countries and even the WHO. I think there's been some actions taken in the US that have not been recommended by the WHO or other places and yet the US continues to enforce these ideas being the single one out.

Thank you! I saw your post and unfortunately I came in an hour and a half late so I will I'm trying to re-watch the beginning.

The concept of the "tripledemic" is the epitome of Faucist fake science propaganda. There quite simply is no such thing.

SARS-COV-2, Influenza A and B, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus are all infectious respiratory pathogens which cause Influenza Like Illness. More than two thirds of seasonal "flu" cases are not influenza virus, but one of the several hundred other infectious respiratory pathogens which produce nearly identical flu like symptoms.

The "experts" are supposed to know better than this.

I never took it as a legitimate thing that will happen. There's a ton in the ways of viral dynamics that is rather nuanced that requires a lot of investigation.

It was more to the point that if a tripledemic were to occur as proposed by health officials, and it was offset by masking, then there would be some inherent concerns that masking would just prevent the inevitable that is childhood respiratory infections. So do we rip the bandage off and deal with the issue now (if it does manifest), or do we keep pushing it down the road and act as if that won't have any long term damage on the children.

To that point, apparently some doctors are suggesting the RSV wave may be ending soon, so I would like to see some data on if that happens as well.

Expand full comment

When the RSV "wave" was first reported, one of the theories expressed was that because of lockdowns and social distancing, children's immune systems were immunologically naive, not having dealt with the routine pathogen exposures that help bolster the immune system.

In other words, the "mitigations" made children demonstrably more vulnerable.

Which will make China's relaxing of Zero COVID a fascinating experiment to watch unfold.

Walensky must say what she is told to say by her masters -- those above her.

That, or Walensky is not informed and is acting in a manner that she thinks will assuage the fears of the public. Ironically, the messaging from the CDC and the mainstream press are the same messages that likely instilled those fears in the first place. I think there's a bit of agency with Walensky, but that her actions have caused a whole slew of problems.

She IS a licensed medical doctor, right? It simply astonishes me that she doesn’t feel embarrassed stating something like that, given she MUST (I hope, at least) know the truth.

I would love to see some data on the dangers of masking. In all discussions I’ve see that is left out. I personally after a couple of months of mask wearing at work became sensitive to paper products and no longer tolerate using toilet paper. I’m concerned about breathing in fibers from the masks, and recirculating bacteria that remain trapped in the masks instead of being breathed out (there have she been commercials based on masks smelling bad). There are probably numerous other potential hazards, but most people continue to view them as innocuous and the net potential benefit as positive.

There was a study from Japan that I covered a few months back that looked at the bacteria and fungi that grown on masks:

https://moderndiscontent.substack.com/p/masking-bacteria-and-fungus

The short of it is that bacteria that accumulated on the inside were ones found as part of our oral microbiome and skin. However, a few of their levels increased through masking, and some of these bacteria are opportunistic bacteria. It may be one of the reasons so many people were having "maskne" as some of these bacteria may have caused skin issues. Fortunately, the study does suggest that the level of bacteria didn't necessarily increase with each successive day of wearing the mask, and they assume that may be due to bacteria not surviving after being left to sit, possibly in the sun.

Now, there were a few strains of fungi found on the outside of the masks, and these accumulated over the several days of mask wearing. Although a bit concerning, fungal spores are far larger than bacteria and so it's assumed that the fungal spores were large enough to not penetrate the mask.

Ironically, I had some issues when wearing the masks during 2020. I noticed I had serious pins in my throat and I was unsure where that was coming from. It persisted for many months even after I stopped wearing masks, and it was only within the past few months that it's gone away, so you're not alone in experiencing something from the masks.

if she buys me a $2000 PAPR with all the filters i'll consider it.

or maybe SCBA with all the tanks and high pressure compressor.

anything less such as n-95s don't seem to work.

You should try proposing it in the next annual federal budgeting debate! I'm sure the US has several billion dollars lying around to provide for us. 😉

But yes, it appears that most masks will not work, and Walensky is still using wishy washy words when referring to the types of masks. What are "high quality" masks? I think she just doesn't want to outright say that people should wear N-95 or higher because of how expensive they are, which ironically should indicate many of the problems with enforcing or "encouraging" rampant masking.

Masks DO work, as they're used as a way to DRIVE fear and anxiety! Just the other day it occurred to me that they do make for a great horror movie aesthetic. Thanks Faucis of this world!

Plus upon hearing my double jabbed, double boostered mum shouting how she'd religiously worn her mask for 2 years and now she'd been diagnosed with a bacterial infection worthy of antibiotic treatment, I realized they probably also mean those mask believers are all breeding a lovely cocktail of bacteria in their warm humid masks and dead space behind them.

Needless to say I didn't wear one for a single day throughout this "pandemic"

The research reality is that there have been FIFTEEN Random Controlled Trials testing the efficacy of universal masking policies and mask mandates. NONE of them show any discernible benefit to mask mandates.
