Those Searching for Treasure….

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Coronavirus, Cuomo, Deceit, Elections, Fauci, FOC, Kamala, Medical/Dental by

Every now and then, you hear in the news of someone finding sunken treasures or hunting for a buried chest. Some have even gone so far as to open big safes owned by previous gangsters or union bosses. I think they are looking in the wrong place. When and if they find the gold, there isn’t much and it takes a lot of work get it.

Where I realize I should have been looking are those who developed the vaccine for the China virus. To be sure, they spent a lot of money for development but not nearly what they stood to gain.

I have been wanting to write this post for a long time, but I simply don’t have the real info I want. It would appear no one is talking about it. No one is bragging. It would appear they have closed the big door on this one, and for obvious reasons. There is a lot of money involved.

I would really like to know how much money is involved. What, maybe a few billion from the government and even more from the insurance companies. The drug companies weren’t happy with what they got vaccinating the old, those that would have needed it, if it worked. They wanted even the youth to get the vaccine. Do you realize the monies that the developers could get from all those vials, work or not.

Fact is, no treasure chest, no ship wreck could provide the fortunes. Moreover, there was no need doing any risky deep sea diving or digging. And, by the way, diving for treasure doesn’t always yield so much as one gold coin. For sure, selling vaccine is the way to go. It has a for sure return.

Does anyone have any idea how many pockets have been lined by the hopes of stopping the virus with a magic elixir. However, if you stop to think about it, that wasn’t really the big winning hand. If they really stopped the virus, they’d have no more reason to make it. They, so to speak would have killed the golden goose. The billions coming in, would stop coming in.

Would these big Pharma outfits do things like that. Would they sink so low, really. I would say, in a heartbeat. Let’s face it, big pharma were not the only ones winning. I can’t prove it. I would never make the charge without at least a thread of evidence. However, do you notice that big government was more than willing to distribute the vaccine, even after it proved to be useless, especially for the youth. They were determined that those in the military who were in good health should also take it.

The final straw is this. Any time that someone discovered something that actually worked, they, the government, did all they could to squelch the possibilities, even though some likely died from it.

The fact of the matter is, Old Joe and his crew are going to have a lot to answer for when they face God in Heaven. However, the real problem is… the damage has been done. It won’t be reversed. He and his cohorts have their treasure, and they will most surely pay.

Moreover, the new media, the health department officials, the physicians, and certainly, big pharma will all have their punishment as well.

Then, what good will their treasure be to them. What good will the world be to them when they lose their souls.

How Does That Work?

Posted in Drive-throughs, Medical/Dental by

Just saw something new today; or at least I think it is. A sign was on a new medical building, something to the affect, Drive Through Medical.

I guess the above question applies in 2 ways. That is to say, how successful, and how is it managed?

I wonder if they take appointments or if you just get in line. I really am afraid to speculate too much. Conceivably, it is actually practical and convenient.

However, for the time being, I’m going to stay with my internist. I don’t mind a short walk into his office. It’s the wait I’d prefer to avoid.

I wonder what the wait time is at the drive through.

Humacite

I am adding the above word ( the name of a cooperation) to my spelling dictionary. It is very likely to be seen a lot. I just happened to see a segment on FOX News Sunday that spoke briefly on it. I thought I might have misunderstood it. They are still doing studies on it in the US. In Ukraine, the doctors are already using it to replace arteries damaged by war. And guess what. It’s working and working well.

This is a big step in medicine. When these things are approved, vessels will no longer need to be harvested in other parts of the body for heart bypasses. If it all works out, that is good and it is good. Not only can they leave the vessels in the leg but the arteries they put in will be effectively new. They will likely hold up better and the blood will flow through them better.

In addition, it will allow the replacement of bad arteries in the legs. I don’t know. Maybe the veins too. Just a guess, but they just might be able to replace bad vessels in the neck going to and from the brain. That might help the thinking process.

They have been working on these things for a while now. Where have I been that I never heard about it before.

There is another aspect of it, though I suspect it is a long way away. Just maybe they can make parts of organs using the same methods. Those to first benefit would likely be diabetics, especially type I. If I’m not missing my guess though, they might already be experimenting on it.

A Word About Social Media

Posted in Abuse of Power, Adam Schiff, Being woke, Biden, Cancel Culture, Climate Change, Communist Takover, Coronavirus, Deceit, Dummycrats, Face Masks, Fauci, gun control, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Medical/Dental, Memories, Uncategorized by

It is why I will never get on Ticktock or Facebook or anything similar. Perhaps I could be more well known if I did, but those folks have a serious problem. They publish lies without hesitation. The truth they disallow, while calling it a lie. That which aids and abets our enemy is welcome while that which encourages patriotism is verboten. They have permitted the rewriting of history, especially American history.

Well, let’s see what I mean. What about the virus. Much of what they would not permit from good ethical doctors could not be published. That damaging, which the dems wanted, was published and encouraged. Perhaps millions died because of that. It kept at least three effective meds from being used while allowing meds that had no effect. It caused two-year-olds to have to wear masks when they knew they had no effect. It obliterated the restaurant industry, especially in NY, NY and It just almost brought the American economy to an absolute halt. And then, as if that was not enough, they caused the US to go into a debt that we might never crawl out of, at least for another 100 years. Finally, they helped the dems outright steal an election right in front of our eyes. (Don’t tell me different. I saw what I saw. Others did too, but it is inconvenient for them to remember.)

People ask me why I won’t get on a social media. Now, you know why. I would appreciate it very much if you would let others know.

Incidentally, has anyone noticed the big increase in crime these last few years, especially shootings? Most of us don’t like it. The dems love it. It gives them a reason… well it just gives them reasons. That’s what they want.

Where Are the Apologies?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, CDC, Collusion, Communism, Controllers, Deceit, Face Masks, Fauci, FOC, Lawyers and Representation, Lobbyists, Medical/Dental, New York Mayor, News media, Pelosi, Politally Correct, Psaki, Reporters by

They now admit the China virus started in the the labs. They now admit that masks provide little to no protection. It’s been established that schools that stayed open were better than schools that were closed. I am sure that they will eventually have to admit that hydroxychloroquine actually works as a preventive to the China virus. While I sit here coughing, I wish I could have acquired a few thousand tabs of it before it struck here in Mississippi. Maybe there are a few who lost loved ones who wish they could have gotten there share too.

Yet, where are the apologies. Where are the apologies to these who were shamed, even though everyone knows they were right. Where are the apologies to those who suffered. Where are the apologies to those who lost friends and relatives.

The dems will not apologize. They dare not admit to their wrong doings. They know it would mean election losses. To the dems, nothing is more important than the elections. Ultimately, it is about control.

That is why you will never hear any kind of an apology, that is unless mandated by a court. Now that is something I would like to see. I would really like to live long enough to see. Unfortunately, I don’t think the Lord will let me live that long.

By the way, time to put Fauci in prison. He helped develop the virus. Don’t expect any apology from him either.

Ridding the World of AIDS

Posted in Being woke, Biden, Build the Wall!, Cancel Culture, CDC, FOC, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Lobbyists, Medical/Dental, News media, Politally Correct by

Since the early seventies, millions of dollars have been spent on the effort to rid the world of AIDS. I find this very odd. They did nothing to isolate people who infected with AIDS. I have heard arguments, infinitum against said isolation. Yet, had the original people with aids had been isolated, it would have drastically reduced the spread of the virus. The cost would have been minimal compared to the billions spent.

It would have also been advantageous to those infected. It is the nature of disease to reduce immunity. Is it not part of the name. Hence the person with AIDS is more likely to die from secondary infections when exposed to them. An isolated person might have lived years longer than someone exposed to such things as TB, flu, hepatitis and such.

As an aside, ignoring (CDC, the same folks that gave us the China virus.) the spread of the disease has caused some spreading of those secondary infections. TB was virtually eradicated until AIDS. There just might be a reason to the spread of hepatitis among homosexuals.

The so-called experts said that the disease could not be transmitted through the blood. Then they found out that they were wrong only after thousands of victims were infected. This was totally the fault of the experts.

Even though it was general knowledge that the disease was primarily transmitted from homosexual to homosexual, no attempt was made to keep homosexuals from contributing to blood national blood supply, especially in San Francisco. Actually, just the opposite. Blood banks purposely sought out homosexuals. As a result, the disease spread from heterosexuals, overnight, into the general population.

It would seem the homosexuals wanted the disease to spread so that more money would be put into the research. Researchers frantically looked for something, anything. Even so, the disease spread, especially in Africa. It lended credence to the conspiracy theory that the CIA was trying to kill all black people.

A few logical steps would have drastically reduced the death from dreaded disease. It was as those in power wanted the disease to spread. To be sure, there have been billions of dollars that have gone into the drug research in hopes of finding a cure a cure or vaccine. Bottom line, they have slowed the spread, elongated how long people with the disease and they have managed to make a protected class out of homosexuals…all at the cost of billions of dollars and millions of lives.

With all this, the disease could be virtually eradicated in one decade with two simple changes in society. First and foremost, stop sharing needles. Better, stop abusing drugs. Second, stop sex out of marriage.

I know. it sounds like a crazy idea. It is radical. However, it cannot be denied. It will work. After two decades, most of those who are infected will decrease to a very small number. After three decades, the numbers would be reduced to a handful.

The problem is, of course, that would mean enforcing some archaic laws, some that most don’t like.

At the least, three things should have been done. First, identify those who have the disease. That way, we would know who to avoid. Second, crack down on illegal drug distribution, hard. Stop treating it as a victimless crime. The victims are dying every day. It would seem they are just being ignored.

Finally, anyone who knows they are HIV positive and intentionally infects others should be tossed in prison. In some cases, some remained free to roam after committing mass murder, though it was legal. Among the worst, rock hudson. (Note I don’t capitalize his name on purpose) He killed dozens of young boys knowing he was transmitting the disease. Turning my stomach, the news media treated him as a hero. Personally, I believe all his work should be destroyed. He is a worshiped mass killer, and he knew it. Some may not like the way I throw around my terms, but I won’t apologize. It just is I hate those who purposely cause mass death, politically correct or not. Murderers out not be idolized.

[Football] & Helmets

Posted in Compromise, Fear, Medical/Dental, Respect by

A comedian once said that helmets will be required by law in all automobiles when they can be worn without messing up a woman’s hairdo. It is only humorous because there is an element of truth in it.

Some say it is because safety first that we have an overabundance of safety regs. That is simply not true. If it were truly safety first, we would drive autos that weighed 3 or 4 times as much at 20 mph. And, of course, we would all wear helmets.

The fact of the matter is that we are always compromising with safety. I rode my bicycle many miles, many hours. At that time, they didn’t even sell bicycle helmets. Fortunately for me, I survived all my accidents. Then again, unless I was going downhill, I couldn’t pedal much over 20 mph. With the 15 speeds these days, 50 and 60 mph is manageable. Certainly, at such speeds, it is certainly a good idea to wear helmets as well as other safety equipment. Rubbing a knee or elbow on asphalt at 60 mph could cause some serious abrasions.

After some time in football of no brain injuries, I noticed in the news that there was one recently. If I heard the news correctly, a quarterback had his head slammed against ground. He had pads and a helmet but but the injury apparently was still severe.

So, just how much more do we armor the players? How much more do we alter the rules of the game to protect the players?

The station I was watching suggested foam pads on the outside of the helmets. Certainly, one pad on the back of this helmet would have decreased the injury, might have even prevented it.

The station’s reporter said they use the pads in practice already and suggested maybe they use them during games.

The immediate question that comes to mind is, why not? Some of it might be pride. There is certainly some valid concern about weighing down the head with equipment rarely needed. Personally, I don’t know the proper compromise.

Of course, every time there’s an injury, we are reminded of the dangers. Every time there is a missed play, we are reminded that every piece of armor slows us…ever-so-slightly. In games of inches and seconds, the extra padding might be making a difference.

Personally, I would think, at the least, the players should have a choice. Perhaps, they should even be encouraged. It is not just a matter of cost. It is more important than the entertainment of sports.

To be sure sure, one very light piece of foam could have saved the loss of a quarterback, perhaps thousands of dollars for medical expenses and, perhaps, just maybe a man’s life.

On the other hand, let’s not make the players play from within big plastic bubbles. Remember, safety really is a compromise.

Unmasking Masks

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Deceit, Fauci, FOC, Kamala Harris, Lawyers and Representation, Medical/Dental, Politally Correct, Psaki, Vaccine by

It would seem that, with exceptions, masks have become optional. Maybe, soon, they will be history.

It does not surprise me. If there was a reason to wear masks, they have had two years to prove it. No one did. On the contrary, I have heard reports of studies disproving their effectiveness.

I guess that was the reason for the judge’s ruling. I guess that is the reason the decision was not contested. I would suspect it won’t be long most of us will be maskless henceforth.

Next, hopefully, the mandatory vaccines will fade into obscurity. Then, maybe they will start allowing effective treatments. Seems to me that there are a few we already know of that work. There are even a couple inexpensive ones.

The Doctor Will See You Now?

Posted in Communism, experience, Fauci, FOC, Lawyers and Representation, Medical/Dental, Pelosi, Politcal Opinion by

While I was in the Marines, I did not need to concern myself with the cost of medicine. Uncle Sam paid for it. That meant, if I could see a doctor, I was treated well. It also meant that if I had the flu, I worked sick.

The alternative was to wait three hours to be seen. Most of time, I would see a corpsman, not a doctor. He would give me a bottle of aspirins and give me light duty for 24 hours, which meant I went back to work. I learned the pattern early and didn’t bother trying to see a doctor anymore.

The hitch was that without the light duty authorization, they could make me do some heavy work. Actually, they did that anyway.

It is, sort of, a picture of communism. Everyone gets paid the same and everyone has to do the same amount of work. Unless I was falling down sick, I did as much as everyone else. Also, they had someone with a few stripes making sure I did it.

Once I became a civilian, if was sick, I called in. I was able to do that eight times a year. Mostly, I only used two or three sick days a year. When I worked for a bank, I worked 3 1/2 years straight. Didn’t miss a day. Still, if I got sick, I could take a few days off without getting an excuse from the doctor.

More important, If I felt bad enough, I could actually see a doctor, usually in an hour or two. Nowadays, I do have to wait some, but I still see a real doctor. When I was having chest pains, there was no wait at all.

The real problems with the military medical system started after I got married. I had a four year old that was having problems breathing at night. I did get him in to see a doctor twice. Both times he was diagnosed with tonsillitis. He prescribed some meds and sent him home both times.

The worst part was that the symptoms always got worse at night. If getting into see a doctor was difficult during the day, it was ten times worse at night. Actually, to some degree that is true with civilian doctors too. There seems to be an unwritten law somewhere that if you’re going to get sick, do it between 8 am and 5 pm, Mon through Fri. Fridays are frowned on too.

It was only after taking my son to a private doctor I found out that he nearly died from lack of air. He removed the tonsils and he hardly had another sick day in his life. Bear in mind that I was a Sgt at the time (E5). I cannot imagine what privates and PFCs go through. They can’t afford to go to a private doctor. On the other hand, I cannot imagine a general ever having to wait a minute for a doctor. Indeed, sometimes, I suspect the doctor goes to him.

It is sort of the way it is with social medicine. Most cannot go to private doctors. There are none. Under socialism, the state pays for the doctors. If you want to see a private doctor, you would have to go to another country. It is exactly what the Canadians have been doing for years. When their socialistic system is inadequate, they just visited doctors in the US. Going to a private doctor in Canada is not allowed.

However, if you happen to be one of the members of the Canadian government, your chances of having to wait for bypass surgery are inversely proportional to your position.

I am not saying that private medicine is perfect. It is far from it. But it is better than free medical. Take it from one who has seen it first hand. By the way, when we went on Obama care, it was far worse than private medical for me. I was paying a grand a year for my wife for five years and she only used it once. That is even worse than what I had in the Marines. It was not only bad medical but I had to pay for it too.

By the way, they only thing they can do to make Obama care worse is to put Fauci in charge of it.

To Take or Not to Take… the Vaccine. That is the Question.

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Kamala Harris, Medical/Dental, Pelosi, Politally Correct, Truth, Twitter, Vaccine by

I’m going to make this short, which will make at least some of you happy.

Fact, the vaccine is classified experimental. I cannot imagine forcing anyone to take an experimental drug of any kind, especially someone under 18. It has already been established that it does have side effects, especially on younger people. Moreover, the youth stand to be effected over a greater time.

My conclusion, it should be taken only and completely by free will. No one should be forced to take it for any reason, though I can see people in the health industry suggesting it.

Personally, I would feel horrible if I forced someone to take any drug and then that person had a severe reaction. Then again, I’m not most people. The dems don’t care if people have complications. They don’t even care when they die. And they paint themselves as the ones who care. Need I remind you of all those that died in the nursing homes because of the “caring” act of a few democrat governess.

By the way, my wife and I have both been vaccinated. By the way, I do find it appalling that people who share my opinion get censored by big tech. They have no business censoring anyone, certainly on this subject. They likely know little more than me, maybe less. Nonetheless, they should not take away a truly informed consent.
