BREAKING: According to D.C. @MayorBowser, unvaccinated students will not be allowed in school, nor will there be virtual learning. They will be denied an education.

Doing that in my state would violate our constitution. I wonder whether DC has any similar provision.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It pains me to admit this, but I tested positive for Covid.  I've been sick for a few days, but none of the symptoms I have match the symptoms I had back in December.

All this time, I have been railing about having immunity, comparing it to diseases like measles, chicken pox, etc.  But now it appears that Covid isn't similar to those diseases at all, but instead is more similar to the common cold with the human body adjusting its defense to fight off subsequent strain infections.

Anyway, just wanted to provide full disclosure as I feast on a heaping plate of crow.  But I have zero regrets for refusing the jab.
Not sad about not having the jab. Somehow I came down with the 'rona while working on the well. Makes no sense to me, considering maskless years, 4500 food deliveries, and I get sick where I hardly interact directly with anyone, work mostly in a lab by myself, but I got two lungs full of crud and a fever and tested positive when I got to the quack (well, the results came in five days later). I figured I'd got bronchitis, doing it's usual trip on the way to pneumonia, but I had my tube of horse paste with me, and my Zinc  and did daily doses of both along with Vitamin C. The doctor, as much as I don't like him, did prescribe doxycycline for me, and that completed the regimen...By the time I got the test results (weekend in there, naturally), I had been on the IVM/Zinc for five days already. Today was day seven, and I am feeling better, but my sides are sore from coughing up all that crud.

While I never said it was 'just another cold', yeah, it's a nasty bug.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Who knows if you actually have COVID-19 again. The common tests aren't very accurate.

All those tests do is tell you that you have a virus of some kind. Could be anything from a cold to Spanish flu. But its ALL Rona now.

That's a valid point.  This test came up positive the second the swab touched the strip, even though the instructions say to wait 15 min.   Gonna get a nose rape test this afternoon.

Judge Nixes Vaccine Mandate For DC Government Employees
Daily Caller, Aug 26, 2022

A D.C. Superior Court judge Thursday struck down D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s order that all District employees be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Bowser instituted the mandate last August requiring vaccination or weekly COVID-19 testing for D.C. government workers in offices reporting directly to her, and proof of vaccination was later required by Feb. 15, 2022, according to Judge Maurice Ross’ decision. Ross found Bowser was not authorized to unilaterally require vaccination and ordered that all Fraternal Order of Police members be fully reimbursed for pay and benefits lost as a result.

“Had the Mayor just engaged the Union in good faith bargaining we could have reached a reasonable compromise that protected everyone’s interests,” D.C. Police Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton stated, reacting to the decision. “Now, all of our members can go back to doing the necessary work of trying to protect our communities from crime and violence without unlawful threats of discipline and termination.”

"Good faith bargaining to protect everyone's interests."

Between a professional politician and the professional thieves that run unions.

Uh,huh. Pull my finger.

Clearly, the union chair has a misunderstanding on how fascists operate.

Gonna be a fascinating few years as all the people who abused you, lied to you, and took your freedom because of COVID try for the soft landing.

They can’t come out and say they were wrong. There would be too much pushback. They’ll slow roll this thing.

They mocked people and let others die, calling IVM “horse paste.”

They knew it worked safely. They lied about everything to push their poison.

Fauci and the rest should die in prison.

Meta-Analyses Confirm Vitamin D Defends Against Covid

Dr. Joseph Mercola  |  September 5, 2022


  • Since December 2021, four large systematic meta-analyses have been published, looking at either vitamin D levels, supplementation or both. In all cases, the data consistently show that low vitamin D levels raise your risk of COVID while higher baseline levels and/or supplementation lowers all risks by 1.5 to three times

  • In the first of these four meta-analyses, the odds of developing COVID-19 among those with deficient or insufficient vitamin D levels were 1.46 times higher than those with sufficient vitamin D. Their risk of severe disease was also 1.9 times higher, and their risk of death 2.07 times higher

  • In the second study, the odds of ICU admission based on vitamin D status were 2.63 times higher among those with severe vitamin D deficiency, 2.16 times higher among those with deficiency, and 2.83 times higher among those with insufficient levels. Mortality was also much higher in all patients with low levels

  • In the third analysis, only 12.19% of COVID patients who received vitamin D required ICU admission, compared to 26.27% of those who did not get vitamin D

  • The fourth and most recent analysis found “significant associations of vitamin D supplementation with COVID-19, encompassing risks of disease worsening and mortality,” especially in seasons characterized by vitamin D deficiency and in patients with mild to moderate infection

At this point, there is simply no question that vitamin D optimization is a crucial component of COVID-19 prevention and treatment. In addition to the many studies published during 2020 and 2021, since December 2021, four large systematic meta-analyses1,2 have been published, looking at either vitamin D levels, supplementation or both.  .  .  .

I know I am a sample size of "1", but I have taken 5000IU of D3 daily for 10 years, and (knock on wood) did not contract COVID during the Pandemic.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
