    Moderna vaxxers won't need frequent booster shots like Pfizer.

    Hey politicians, can you approve Moderna for 12 and up? Pfizer on its way to be approved for infants now.

    This is hilarious. Truly funny.

    Why do the overwhelming majority of doctors not prescribe horse meds for covid? That’s the question.

    According to the general thade here … it’s because thousands of doctors and hospitals are in cahoots with big pharma to profiteer on other meds that keep you ill, semi ill, or nearly dead, so that they can fill up the hospitals, run up more bills, pillage insurance companies, who then Jack up your rates because they’re in on the scheme too, which then allows the Dems to push for socialized medicine and greater regulation, because they’re also in on it, and they want power and cheat in elections. (General, did I get that right?)

    Or, it is because doctors are trained medical professionals who were among the brightest of their peers, who devoted the first 30+ years of their lives to education and medical training, who took the Hippocratic oath, who read and review peer reviewed materials, who understand science, who don’t want their medial malpractice insurance to skyrocket when hospitals are filled with dumbasses who took horse meds, who don’t want to burn the value of the medical degrees that they spent 30+ years obtaining, or the reputations that they spent their professional lives building.

    Maybe we need a private Clutchfans poll for the general to answer this really difficult question.

    Unhealthy People > Go to Doc > Doc writes Rx > Doc schedules follow up in 3 months > Go to Doc > Doc re-writes Rx > Doc schedules a follow up in 3 months > new illness > Doc writes new Rx > Doc schedules a follow up.... get where i'm going?

    Why don't more "trained medical professionals" push for healthy lifestyles - no smoking, no drinking, not eating processed junk, exercising, proper sleeping habits, proper supplementation (Vitamins C, D3, Zinc)?

    Answer: Medical professionals and pharma cant profit off healthy people. PERIOD.

    Our "medical trained professionals" are taught based on Pharma and trained to treat symptoms.. not the underlying causes of the symptoms.

    My Source - helped my cousin 10 years ago practice for his boards - guess what every one of his treatment included - "here's an Rx for...... i want to schedule a follow up to re-assess in 3 months".

    My Minnesota doctor was an exception to that. He would not prescribe a Statin drug to combat my genetic high cholesterol. He wanted me to diet and exercise. Even when I was running 30+ miles per week, had my weight down to 180 and seldom drinking, my cholesterol was still high.

    My Florida doctor prescribed the statin drug the first time she got my blood work. The cost is negligible.

    TV commercials too!!!

    The world would rejoice if lay people did not have to sit through another drug commercial. "AstraZeneca may pay for your meds if your name is Bob and work in accounting".

    I don’t think there are 0 flu cases nor do I think any accurate citation would reflect that

    Someone insert the “why not both” meme. You know, doctors can prescribe meds AND push for healthy lifestyles. Everyone that I know with high cholesterol get advised to eat better and exercise.

    I get that you are speaking to the theme that doctors and pharma profit off people. It’s one thing to say or think that.

    It is entirely something else to say that profiteering is why millions of doctors across the country are intentionally not prescribing horse meds for covid and instead favor vaccines. If you are in agreement with the General @Gioan Baotixita Vietnamese John the Baptist, you’re are just as nuts as he is.

    And I would note that he hasn’t bothered to respond to my post because it’s kinda hard to confront his own lunacy directly.

    Yep... they administered 41,000 or so flu tests in Alberta during their last flu season ( September 2020 - March 2021) and none came back positive.

    Not sure what they'd have to gain by lying about that.

    Not all doctors are like that. They do tell you to live a healthier lifestyle and would prescribe things like physical therapy for the insurance if you asked.

    The thing though is that people are adults and we all trend towards the easier answer. People also feel entitled to drugs if they haul ass to ask for a doctor's advice

    I mean, people got on Michelle Obama for trying to encourage kids and adults into healthier lifestyles.

    The gall, right??

    remember, whatever Fauci says, you can be sure it will be null and void within 6 months (as we learn more information and follow the science, of course)

    oops
