Here's what I believe is another possible misinterpretation from the popular Clayton Morris. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzeQJVlFGoc - first minute is rough and not essential

I love eggs, but for basic nutritional value, not anything to do with the spike protein.

Here's an interesting article I found on the pH of eggs - https://homekitchentalk.com/are-eggs-acidic-or-alkaline/

I saw that egg study that was supposedly giving protection from covid- I actually thought it was probably even written solely for the purpose of having “anti-vaxxers” cite it and then they can turn around and say see- the study doesn’t say what people think it does- these people are dolts. When something is too obvious and was funded by big pharma, you have to inspect it carefully.

Just for more on eggs : don't forget that many people after having covid can't stand eggs. That includes my husband, my self and our daughter. After two years I am just starting to eat some eggs. My husband started sooner. Our daughter who had covid 1yr after us, still won't eat eggs.

It was nice to read about eggs without hearing about cholesterol. Thank you.

I read the "IgY antibody" research paper earlier this week, and it sounded quite detached from reality. There are plenty of good things we can get from eating good eggs. What exactly, I dunno, but it's been working for people for thousands of years. Rather than hoping for antibodies from eggs, I think people would be wise to consider the quality of the eggs they buy. CAFO is not the way to go.

I have been wondering about the egg supply, however. I am on my third supplier of organic pastured eggs in the past few months, a different supply chain from the usual, and relatively local, but still impacted. The price went up a bit and then came back down again with changing suppliers, and is currently at $10/dozen. Something's going on, I know not what.

Thank you for taking the time to address these EXTRAordinary articles that have been popping up recently. I have seen so many inflammatory Substack articles from supposed skeptics and I used to subscribe so I could comment on errors/alternate opinions ... but most people don’t seem to care (a few people did concur with me) and rarely did the author address my concerns. Sadly most comments on these sites are the basic lickspittle you’ve come to expect (another great piece Dr. So & So) 🤦‍♀️

So thanks for actually reading the paper! It’s sad that those who fan the flames don’t actually seem to be reading said articles, but are nonetheless raking in the big money.

Eat real food, lots of variety, none produced in a feed lot factory, which is most eggs, milk and meat in this country. Real eggs, when chickens are carnivores, eating bugs and grubs, actually have flavor and color to the yolk. Same for the meat. Just sayin

I have had some looks at Newspunch months ago, they seem to be deliberate disinfo, aka "chaos agents", mixing some truths with made-up nonsense to contaminate counter-govt-narrative movements. It looks rather deliberate.

There are two issues not being addressed in the "IgY paper is bogus" argument.

1. Animals act as virus reservoirs.

2. Animals share DNA with us.

If an animal is a viral reservoir and is not infected itself, it has either developed resistance or does not have the required proteins to be infected itself. If it is the latter, how is the animal acting as a reservoir in the first place with no hooks for the virus to survive?

Now, since we share DNA with other animals, it is likely that we share parts of protein structures.

Also, if you are a virus, your best chance of success lies in being able to infect as many living creatures as possible. So a virus that binds to commonly available proteins across species has the best chance of success.

So an egg will likely have IgY that infects most animals including us.

Is Covid in this list of viruses? Well, I don't know but those experts who forced animals in the zoo to be vaccinated are surely hinting that this is the case. I remember the word 'reservoir' and children and animals used together in that context to justify vaccines.

Based on these arguments, I will conjecture that eggs already have IgY for Covid.

It is this conjecture that people are implicitly using to believe that eggs may be a good way to fight Covid. They may not go all the way in making these arguments and then some, but the logic coincides at least part of, if not all, the way.

The problem with the articles that clarify misinformation is that they go solely with what's black and white. They don't address the reasoning behind any of these beliefs. Because the pieces (from USA Today and ilk) are very pedantic, they are constantly revising their stance. Consider association of myocarditis and vaccines. USA Today and cabal went from claiming that this is a bogus statement to complete silence as CDC changed its stance. The crowd that suspected vaccines cause myocarditis has been shown to correct because they had a conjecture (driven by sixth sense in some cases) that turned out to be correct in spite of these people having no PhDs.
