Paxlovid

[illuminati]

", I Googled it. LOL! Turns out it is recommended people at high risk should get a prescription for Paxlovid as quickly as possible to help avoid it becoming a serious case. I emailed my doctor's office on Monday and picked it up and started taking the prescription yesterday. For a total of 5 days, I am taking 3 pills at a time, twice a day. Paxlovid is nasty with side effects."

I gave people leeway for the vax.... I don't fault people who made an independent decision to get vaccinated... especially prior to all the information becoming available.

But at some point you have to reevaluate as more data becomes available.

My mother in law has been boosted a dozen times, maybe a little less, but still. And she was a complete covidiot, refusing to listen to reason, violently arguing with anyone who had a differing opinion about it...

I was telling her that I watched the Portland riots unfold night after night, 180 days straight dozens of cops shoulder to shoulder,1000's of protestors breathing and sweating on each other... and the crowds weren't thinning out. Day after day same people, no one was getting sick... none of the riot cops got sick. Further none of the homeless camps thinned out..... after explaining this to her, I was met with blind rage! Yelling screaming,  telling me I didn't see any of that. That All those people were getting sick and dying but just being replaced by more cops and more protestors etc.... at the time my job occasionally took me to area hospitals,  none of them were overcrowded with dying patients. It was all media bullshit. At some point she just started yelling at me to shut up! LOL....

Last year she got really sick and she says "you know, Im beging to think these boosters aren't doing anything.  They may be whats causing me to be sick all the time"

LOL! WTF!!!!

This is an educated woman, who lived through riots of 60s,  civil rights, family tragedies etc..

Amazing how this thing brainwashed people.

YEP Prime Fool swallowed it all & still does - God Dammit its real to him. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Thanks for the suggestions and good advice. Before asking my doctor for the Paxlovid prescription, I read as much as I could on the internet about this medication and weighed the pros and cons involved, including the rebound effect.

My sore throat has cleared up. But another easy treatment is simply gargling with warm salt water, which is something everyone has available. I take a vitamin D supplement and have for many years.

Hope you're recovering- Get well soon.

Have Faith - The Face Nappy works god damn it. 😂🤣😂 👍🏻

Paxlovid is a staple for legacy media watching boomers

Covid

Covid

I know - These still brain washed sheep 🐑 are Farcical  😂🤣😂🤣😂

It’s too bad the elixir of youth and health isn’t at the business end of a gloryhole hog. You would be the modern day immortal. You’ve had your nose pressed up against drywall enough to never need another booster.

Covid

The silent killer

Did he died yet?

I think you made the right call to take paxlovid and skip the booster. But lol you just discovered it's made by Pfizer. Cutting edge research, sir.

In addition to the Vitamin D deficiency hypothesis regarding poor covid outcomes in particular groups (which you seemed to not grasp and thought I was calling you fat and black) I also favorably judge the immunoglobulin G4 hypothesis for why multivaxed people have a worse time than 0, 1, or 2 vaxed. It's in line with my own observations of disease severity so I give it some weight.

While there's nothing generally wrong with traditionalist remedies, mRNA med tech isn't inherently bad either. It'll be quite useful once they learn to tissue target, which will cure cancer for example, instead of it running willynilly throughout a body causing all sorts of autoimmune issues, but it was woefully misapplied with Covid. A strong net negative and far worse than useless. Imo it was the biggest medical fuck up of all time, but Hell will freeze over before people who pushed it admit that.

The experiment is not over. It is fascinating, from a social psychology perspective, that to this very day hardly anyone is admitting to being the slightest bit aggrieved that they were sold a complete lemon. It is a spectacular supernova of cope to sit back and behold.

Most still don't know they were sold a lemon.

[Tapeworm]

Sure they do. Ain't nobody taking boosters. "Just been real busy, you understand." Riiight.

My vitamin D level "looked great" according to my GP, I think it was in the middle of the "good range." I'm lazy and forgetful so often have been forgetting it, so I have a question, how about taking 50,0000iu or even 100,000 units in one go the immediately get on top of it? Drawbacks? I have seen some experts say you can take all your Vitamin D once a month but theres probably some drawbacks.

What I try to do is take one of these 200mg Zink products at first onset of symptoms. A toxic dose if used continuously. But I read Zink is  one of only a few remedies shown to reduce severity or duruation of a flu. Maybe stacked with one of the zink ionophores?

I use Astragalus and Cordyceps for other reasons but they say many of these adaptogens aand mushrooms are good for improving your immune systen.

do you make a rattling noise when you walk?

[ProudVirgin69]

I took paxlovid when I had Covid recently and it seemed to work pretty well.  I had a terrible lingering taste in my mouth from it though, like when you put sunscreen on your face and a little bit gets on your lips.  Five days of that.

Better than getting real sick though.

[Van_Bilderass]

I'm not immediately getting the reference 

[joswift]

I'm not immediately getting the reference 

all the tablets...

[Van_Bilderass]

Ah ok

They have these extremely high dose D3 tabs available. I'm talking 50K to 100K units (RDI is about 600iu) so my question I guess is if it's worth it to take a tab like that as soon as you get sick or if you really should have built up your levels over months for it to offer protection against Covid.

The zink is a no brainer I think, preferably you have good levels before hand but I'd take the equivalent of those 220mg Zink tabs immediately and maybe Quercetin would further help to get it in cells.

There are a bunch of other substances that might be good, at least in theory, like high dose melatonin (maybe like 50mg?), N-Acetyl-Cysteine, the classic Vitamin C, a few grams a day. Etc. I think I might make a few emergeny ziplock bags with some of these lol. Might be good if someone is for example dieting for a show and feels he is coming down with something 2-3 weeks out

I only discovered Paxlovid existed after I tested positive for COVID, spoke with my doctor and weighed my options. I don't make a habit of anticipating getting ill and checking in advance which ‘big pharma’ is developing drugs for conditions I don't yet and may never have. I will leave that responsibility to hypochondriacs.

Whether it was Paxlovid or the fact that I am generally in excellent health, I do not know, but today I tested negative for COVID. Since it has only been a few days since I had COVID symptoms, it could also very well be a false negative test. I will do a recheck again before concluding I am home free.   

[Mothballs]

Still waiting for DJ to interrupt this thread by mentioning how he can get paxlovid OTC in Moscow and how his perfect proportions have kept him from getting covid.

I can only comment from personal experience when it comes to supplements, but I believe them to be beneficial to my health. I take a long list of supplements daily (currently 17) and have for many years. Some are those you mention such as zinc, D-3, C, and melatonin. When I provide doctors with a list of prescriptions, I include a list of supplements, although I have no idea whether they check it or not.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Prime. Back to your usual testy self.

Anyone who has heard of Paxlovid is a hypochondriac?

[IroNat]

I think you have to build up Vit D in your system.

Don't exceed 5,000 iu per day from what I've read.

[Tapeworm]

That's what I heard. Metabolic restrictions apply so it creeps up over a month.

Probably more for heavier people since D sequesters in fat, so Getbiggers ought to come good around 2026.

LOL! Why do some folks have a habit of twisting what others post? I believe what I wrote referenced people checking on medications they never heard about and have not yet been prescribed. My question was who does that, besides medical professionals or people obsessed with the side effects of never needed and unprescribed to them medications? By all means before asking for a prescription for any medication you have no experience with, read everything you can about it and any possible side effects, effectiveness, and interactions with meds you are currently on.

The sequence of my first experience with Paxlovid was this. I tested positive for COVID, I looked up possible treatments and read about Paxlovid, its use, benefits, and any possible negative side effects. Then I asked my doctor about it, and they prescribed it with an exception, which was for me to discontinue Simvastatin while on Paxlovid.

Your comment seemed to suggest I should have already known about Paxlovid. My answer was, in effect, why would I? My reference to hypochondria was in jest.   

Am I testy? Guess I need to work on this, huh? The funny thing is that since the age of 14 when I had mumps, I have only had one functioning testicle (true)... so just how 'testy' can I possibly be? BTW, had Booty fixed me some homemade chicken noodle soup with bone broth when I caught the mumps, it might have saved my right testicle. LOL! Where was Booty when I needed her?

[Tapeworm]

Oh. People are checking on things they've never heard about.

Lets not worry about them right now. Can you tell me what year it is and who's the president right now?
