\nCoffee & Covid<\/p>\n

Good morning C&C! I\u2019m writing you from sunny \u2014 but cool \u2014 Pensacola this morning, and have a nice little roundup for you today: Florida fines Leon County a whopping $3.75 MILLION DOLLARS for firing employees subject to an injection mandate; the Department of Health issues a \u201cbad boy\u201d list of folks being \u201cinvestigated\u201d for more fines; Orlando Mayor Demings says he\u2019s been diminished, or something; a buried NIH table comes to light and I can\u2019t wait till you see what it says; GWU discovers and amazing but controversial new Covid treatment; and Southwest\u2019s CEO finally notices the injection-mandate elephant standing on his foot.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"🗞\" *THE C&C ARMY POST* \"🗞\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"🔥\" As I mentioned, I spoke last night at an open-air medical-freedom event in the Wahoo seaside baseball stadium Pensacola, Florida. I was gratified to be included with some other very smart and well-known medical professionals in this space, like Dr. Peter McCulloch, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Bryan Ardis, and Dr. Ben Marble (myfreedoctor.com<\/a>). There was a lot of good information shared, and I\u2019ll post the Rumble link once it\u2019s available. It was incredibly humbling to be allowed to sit alongside these REAL medical heroes who are literally saving grandma. In contrast to reprehensible doctors who just parrot CDC talking points to local school boards to give them cover to break the law, for example.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite part of my talk was when I asked the large group of attendees how many were C&C readers. I was prepared for a few. It was a BUNCH. And they were loud and proud. We\u2019re growing.<\/p>\n

Thank you Pensacola!<\/p>\n

\"🗞\"*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY* \"🗞\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"🦩\" Ka-boom. The State of Florida fined Leon County $3.57 MILLION DOLLARS yesterday, for firing 14 employees under its odious vaccine mandate. The county has until November 5 to pay up. The letter helpfully suggested either checks or money orders could be used.<\/p>\n

Local politicians squealed in protest. \u201cWe don\u2019t need the State bullying our communities or private businesses who are simply trying to serve the people and get on the other side of this pandemic,\u201d said State Sen. Loranne Ausley. Ms. Ausley appears completely clueless to the fact that firing first responders for not taking injections is a lot more like \u201cbullying\u201d than fining the bully who fired the first responders. Just saying. I blame public education.<\/p>\n

Of course, if Ms. Ausley really DOES have a permanent cognitive impairment, then I apologize for being disrespectful of her intellectual handicap, and applaud her for doing so well in spite of her mental limitations.<\/p>\n

Leon County Attorney Chasity O\u2019Steen said the County\u2019s mandate is in accordance with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the county\u2019s legal ability to require vaccinations. So, I guess that settles it. Everybody else is wrong.<\/p>\n

Now, what would really be fun would be to represent the \u201cfired fourteen\u201d in a \u00a7 1983 damages civil rights lawsuit for damages. Under Green v. Alachua County, which controls in Leon County, the County would have to meet the very high strict scrutiny standard. What a great case that would be.<\/p>\n

\"🦩\" But the Sunshine State wasn\u2019t content with a huge fine on Leon County. On Monday, the Florida Department of Health also released a list of individuals and businesses who are \u201cunder investigation\u201d for mandating injections or asking for injection documents in violation of the state\u2019s SB2006 \u201cvaccine passport ban.\u201d<\/p>\n

The list includes notable companies like the House of Blues, Raytheon Corporation, Norwegian, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, the Walt Disney Theater, Starbucks, and Jerry Demings, the Mayor of Orlando. Individually.<\/p>\n

Demings was HOT. He said \u201cThe state was clearly out of line with commonly accepted practices for crisis management. And any time that someone diminishes our ability to protect our citizens, I am going to stand up against that.\u201d Well, something \u2014 or someone \u2014 is diminished, that\u2019s for sure. Demings vowed to sue, because he feels like the state is imposing something on him that he doesn\u2019t want. And he thinks that\u2019s not fair. It reminds me of something, but I can\u2019t quite put my finger on it.<\/p>\n

The Governor\u2019s office responded: \u201c\u2019Commonly accepted practices for crisis management\u2019 do not include forced-masking and coercing people into getting medical procedures under threat of termination. These policies do not protect citizens; they violate citizens\u2019 rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of local interest, the parties named on the DOH\u2019s \u201cbad boy\u201d list included: the Alachua County Public Library, Gainesville Mayor Lauren Poe, and the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners.<\/p>\n

\"🔥\" Apparently the NIH wants people to take horse deworming medicine. Back in the summer, the NIH published a table, titled \u201cTable: Characteristics of Potential Antiviral Agents | COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines.\u201d At the top of the official government web page there is a headline that says \u201cTable 2e. Characteristics of Antiviral Agents That Are Approved or Under Evaluation for the Treatment of COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

It says it was last updated on July 2021. A couple months ago.<\/p>\n

When you look below the headline, you see the table. It\u2019s a table of only three Covid drugs, along with their dosing regimens, adverse events, interactions, and so forth. Just three.<\/p>\n

The first is Remdesivir, which is manufactured by Gilead and heavily promoted by Fauci. Listed side effects include \u201crenal [(kidney)] and liver toxicity.\u201d Remdesivir costs thousands of dollars per dose. In November of last year, CMS began paying hospitals a +20% incentive (they call it an \u201cadd on payment\u201d) when they treat patients with Remdesivir. So.<\/p>\n

The second drug on the NIH\u2019s list is IVERMECTIN. Yep, that right. Surprisingly, the horse dewormer is the second drug on the NIH\u2019s official table, updated as of a couple months ago, of ANTIVIRAL AGENTS for Covid-19 treatment. Ivermectin\u2019s list of adverse events \u2014 much-shorter than Remdesivir\u2019s \u2014 begins with the statement, \u201cgenerally well-tolerated.\u201d That statement is NOT anywhere in Remdesivir columns. Ivermectin costs about $3 bucks per dose, which, granted, doesn\u2019t put Benjamins in ANYBODY\u2019s pocket.<\/p>\n

So anyway, if you\u2019re arguing with a doctor about treatment protocols, hand them this NIH table. See, doc? It\u2019s RIGHT THERE. Now, remember, your doc is probably being told from the other side that if he prescribes Ivermectin, he\u2019ll lose his license, so there\u2019s THAT.<\/p>\n

Back to the table. The third entry is worth a mention. It is \u201cNitazoxanide,\u201d which is an anti-parasitic drug like Ivermectin. I hadn\u2019t heard of it before. A search of the literature seems to show a bunch of interest in the drug popping up around April 2020, where various controlled studies concluded it significantly reduces viral load if used in early treatment for Covid. But after April, it seems to vanish from the literature. Granted, I\u2019m no expert in searching the online journals. Maybe somebody else can find something.<\/p>\n

Link to the NIH table: https:\/\/www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov\/tables\/table-2e\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"💊\" A new study out of George Washington University has identifies an amazing new drug that cuts the risk of ventilation for Covid-19 patients by ALMOST HALF (44%). And it reduces in-hospital mortality by NEARLY HALF (47%). It keeps 43% of patients out of the ICU altogether. The problem is, this drug is highly controversial. Soon, the federal government will be probably be monitoring pharmacies who prescribe it.<\/p>\n

Oh wait, never mind. It\u2019s ASPIRIN. You can just buy it over the counter. And guess what? The low-dose kind works just fine.<\/p>\n

The mechanism isn\u2019t complicated. Late-stage Covid causes small-vessel blood clotting, which is what then causes the trouble in your lungs. Low-dose aspirin is a commonly-used treatment for folks who suffer from blood clotting issues or who are in danger of a stroke, including most people who\u2019ve had a heart attack or a myocardial infarction. So. ASPIRIN.<\/p>\n

And check this out. In a March study out of Israel, researchers came to similar conclusions about aspirin as the GWU team, but also found that folks on an aspirin regimen were 30% less likely to catch Covid in the first place. Gosh. If only we\u2019d known about this like, a year ago. What\u2019s up, experts?<\/p>\n

Aspirin might also be a good safe and effective medicine to consider putting yourself on if you happen to, say, take some kind of injection whose side effects include blood clotting issues or myocarditis or anything like that. Just saying.<\/p>\n

\"🔥\" Texas-based American and Southwest Airlines said they are going to keep on with their vaccine mandates, defying Governor Abbott\u2019s new executive order banning mandatory vaccination policies. They\u2019ve argued that Joe Biden\u2019s invisible Covid mandate supersedes any contradictory state laws. Your move, Texas. Maybe send in the Rangers?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m starting to think there may be a LOT of contradictory state and federal laws soon.<\/p>\n

Southwest Airlines\u2019 CEO Gary Kelly has finally shut up about imaginary bad weather and is talking about his company\u2019s reprehensible vaccine mandate. In an interview on CNBC yesterday, he said he thinks businesses should NOT impose Covid vaccine mandates on their employees. He said his company is only doing it to comply with the Biden administration\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate. I\u2019m not in favor of that. Never have been,\u201d Kelly said in the interview. Oh, okay. \u201cBut the executive order from President Biden mandates that all federal employees and then all federal contractors, which covers all the major airlines, have to have a [vaccine] mandate \u2026 in place by Dec. 8, so we\u2019re working through that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s BIDEN\u2019S fault.<\/p>\n

Kelly is referring to Biden\u2019s executive order requiring federal employees and contractors to get injected. Biden\u2019s executive order doesn\u2019t have a date in it. But Kelly blames the whole thing on Biden. In a memo to employees last month, Kelly said \u201dI do not believe it is up to me, as CEO of a company, to mandate to people that they get vaccinated. That\u2019s my personal philosophy and my personal belief.\u201d Gee, what terrific leadership. I bet that was a great comfort to all the Southwest employees.<\/p>\n

Is it just me, or is this a really strange way for Kelly to show how much he thinks that companies shouldn\u2019t mandate vaccines?<\/p>\n

Anyway, have a wonderful Wednesday, and I\u2019ll see you back here tomorrow for more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
