Bill Phillips seems pretty sick with Covid

[nerdoldnerdith]

Odd are that it would have kept him out of the hospital or at least out of the ICU

The odds are even greater that the immunity he developed from his previous infection would have kept him from getting sick at all, but it seems those antibodies were weaponized against him despite those odds. It's not clear what the antibodies from a vaccine would do for him.

[deadz]

yeah, that makes a lot of sense 

If he had some other disease he was trying to "hide" then why even go public in the first place

It's not like someone was going to out him from having some unnamed "other" disease

”why” sympathy, some people are pathetic that way.

[Straw Man]

Just one of those nes that get hit very hard by this. Some barely get it, some die, some are in the middle.
No one knows if the Juice-Jab would have helped him much.

Not even Howard or Straw.

It may have, it may not have. The jab has killed some, like the Gal I know who was pressured becasue of her job (HS Teacher).
Some people can have a bad reaction to any med.

Too bad its a man-made virus that the medical companies are cashing in on, lives are ruined by the WUHAN lab and Fraudci.

We actually have plenty of evidence that vaccinated people are not likely to wind up in the hospital with a severe case on Covid

When it does happen it's usually someone with multiple underlying conditions

I'm not sure why people want to keep denying this fact

Phil Valentine said he thought his odds of dying from Covid were less than one percent and he's taking a dirt nap right now.

Muscle Media 2000 was great, it was one of the few pre-internet resources for drug info. I remember they stopped getting the mag at the newsstand I bought it from here in Sweden due to the pro-drug stance, pictures of needles on the cover etc. A short while after it went to shit anyway by going "all natural" like Muscular Development did as well. It was absolutely pathetic, not like they featured true naturals anyway, it was all lies 

Wasn't Bill Phillips a PED dealer at one point? Just like every drug expert, Duchaine, Danta etc

The odds of Phil Valentine or any other random right-winger you want to use as an example of dying from Covid are way less than one percent, but you have the privilege of being able to point after the fact to the one guy who got unlucky. Basically every other one us who doesn't care is still alive and doing just fine.

People who get struck by lightning thought their odds of getting struck by lightning were pretty low, but they aren't idiots for going outside.

There is also PLENTY of evidence showing that people under the age of 60 that are healthy and have no comorbidities do just fine with covid.

I also haven't seen MSM show one thin person in the hospital with covid

A packet of strawberry myoplex blended with a banana in ice water was one of my favorites.

Oh man it was the best! I wonder did it actually taste good or did it just taste good for it's time? I really remember it being good lol

17k + people are hospitalized with COVID in Florida

Any guess on how many people in Florida are hospitalized right now due to lightening strikes (hint - on average lightening kills ~ 49 people each year in the US)

Or i suspect since the average age of posters on this board is prob like 60 that a lot of people are vaccinated and are playing a role online much like they all seem to do about their personal wealth, body fat% and height

Kinda like when  you try to play the role of an educated guy, lol

Did anyone notice that his wife comment that if Bill knew the trauma and pain that SHE was going to have to go through he would have gotten shot

The good news is he can get vaccinated now.

My 62 year old Aunt has gotten Covid twice in the last 10 months.

She's perfectly fine.

His book was a BIG hit when published about 15 years ago:

I remember reading that book when it came out.

Not too bad.

yep, some people can smoke all their lives and live to be in their 90's

I guess that means smoking won't kill anyone

This is a good point.

I dont think anyone wants covid, especially the version Bill was exposed to. 
But it's insane how different the results can be from individual to individual.

that is by far the craziest part about this virus.
someday maybe we'll figure out why some people are fine and others get extremely sick and/or die

I've heard two different versions -

The first is that he did some dealing during the early through mid 80's. Depending on who was telling it, he was either a few steps above a high school dealer or some unseen giant in Colorado.

The second version is that he was more of a steerer. He had a newsletter and book called "The Anabolic Reference Guide" and "Anabolic Reference Update". You'd pay him a fee, and he'd hype your products or he'd sell you his mailing lists so you could send them price lists of your wares.

------------------------

Also, his dad was a bigtime lawyer, and supposedly helped him set up the magazines, etc..... over the years.

Very true.

My grandparents smoked, drank and ate fried food 7 days a week.

Lived until 95.

Sounds like it’s time to up the HMB dose

Same here.  I always had one after training.  Good question.  I'd love to find a box and give it a try now and see if it stood the test of time.

No ones trying to take a way peoples rights, government are only mandating vaccination as covid cases clog up the health system they are responsible for, and unnecessarily when theres a vaccine to reduce that number thats the only issue, its no conspiracy, just common sense when managing a pandemic on a population basis.

I probably ran through a couple 1000's of packets of it in 5-8 years, everybody in my family loved the stuff.

It was great for its time, and would probably be still pretty decent now. Taste wise, I think "Muscle Milk" is probably a good compare. For a few years, there was also Myoplex Mass, which was even a little better taste wise.

On the flipside, before EAS had Myoplex, they had Phosposgain. That was the worst protein powder / MRP I ever had. It came in an old school tin mashed potato sized can, and was only available in a salty vanilla favor. They tried to reinvent it as nicer bulking powder years after as Phosphagain 2, but it wasn't a big seller.

Hard to find a pic of the old version, but this old EAS commercial has it -
