Well, that's a useless contribution to answering his valid questions

You do know that the body can only cope with small doses of Vitamin C at one time, right. Anything over 200 mg in a single dose is just too much for your kidneys to cope with (renal reabsorption), so the excess is removed in your urine. All these people taking high dose vitamin c supplements, are literally flushing their money down the toilet. If you want to increase your Vitamin C intake, you are far better off taking a low dose tablet (200mg) every couple of hours, but not exceeding a total of 2000mg in any 24 hr period.. Even better, eat foods with a high vitamin c content.

Also, don't forget the known side effects of Vitamin C, that start to creep in once you exceed the 2000 mg/day threshold

Finally, someone who writes a logical & fair post.

No vaccine is 100% effective. Probably the most effective of all modern vaccines is the Measles vaccine. Two doses are predicted to protect 99.99% of people, for life. However, there are still occasional outbreaks but they can be controlled because of the high percentage of vaccinated population.
The Mumps vaccine is probably only 80% effective, but again because of the high percentage of vaccinated people, it can be controlled.

Oh Boy.
Based on the definition of a vaccine that you provided in your post, I think you should research how the covid vaccines work - they do stimulate the production of antibodies.

First point - Ever had chicken pox or measles etc? If you have, then you are probably still carrying the virus. Have a look at why older people are susceptible to Shingles. The majority of the world's population are vaccinated against measles, Chicken & Small Pox, so viruses struggle to get a foothold, but there are still occasional outbreaks.

Second Point - Wrong, wrong wrong!! Remsedivir, Ivermectin, Chlorquinone etc. treat the symptoms. It's a vaccine for crying out loud.

Third Point - Most of the world's population have been vaccinated against Measles & Chicken Pox. There are occasional outbreaks of Measles (there was a large outbreak in southern california as recent as 2019), including in those already vaccinated. If you want to eliminate uncontrolled outbreaks (like we are seeing with Covid), a very high proportion of people have to be immunized.

Fourth point. - That data is only minimally available at the moment, so I would like to know where you got this info (besides Facebook and Youtube).

All in all, you really need to spend a bunch of time learning how vaccines are developed, how they work, and their scientific pro's & cons. The info is readily available out there without having to turn to cnn, msnbc, fox, oan, NewsMax, Facebook, Youtube etc. Journals such as Nature, Scientific American or even National Geographic will give you a bunch of information in relatively easy to understand formats, and most importantly without a political spin.

Believe it or not, most of that information (except for your 1st point as it's actually 4-6 weeks, and 5th point as that data isn't yet available) is right there on the package insert and the manufacturers website.

The few side effects are generally not serious. Shingles is caused by the Varicella virus and has nothing to do with Covid. Any Shingles flare ups cannot be attributed to the vaccine since they occur on a daily basis to someone, somewhere and can be caused by a whole host of things.

The only noted side effects are the blood clots, myocarditis (especially in young males), and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. All of which are treatable.

Remember, correlation does not necessarily mean causation, unless you think that the rooster crowing at dawn everyday is responsible for the sun coming up.

Bobsyeruncle says...

Cardiovascular disease is not transmissible to other people if you come in close contact with them.

Bobsyeruncle says...

And your argument reflects your complete ignorance of the limited amount of hospital beds, ventilators and healthcare workers.

Also, earlier this week the US Surgeon General stated that 99.5% of Covid deaths were in unvaccinated people. Disclaimer: He didn't say what the actual number of deaths were.

Birdies antithesis?

Bobsyeruncle says...

There is so much wrong with that clinical study. Let me just highlight a couple:

1. It's looking at Carrageenan & Ivermectin. Since it's a combo of products, how do you deduce whether Ivermectin or Carrageenan or both are responsible for results.

2. Any study that requires patients to self administer 5 times a day in their own time, is asking for trouble. They are not in the same location/environment and therefore exposed to a whole spectrum of different factors that could protect them from the virus or expose them to it.

3. The study was observational !!!!! This is taken from the website you provided. *This study was observational, hence carries less weight of evidence as does the randomized controlled study*
