While I'm venting...
Since going through what I did with the WuFlu, a lot of people I actually know as well as many Facebook friends I've never met in person have reached out to me because either they had COVID or a loved one did, some of them hospitalized. Most were just looking for advice or just support while they were battling it. Though it brings back painful memories, I feel I have a responsibility to help them if I can.
One thing I have learned is that most doctors still have no idea how to treat this thing! Very few of them seem to have done their own research, instead just parroting the CDC line and whatever politics is driving at the time.
Example...most of my Welstar doctors have strongly urged me to get the vaccine, sticking to the CDC BS that natural antibodies only last 3 months. That's been proven wrong time and again, but when I mention that to my doctors they don't know anything about it. Some admitted that they just go by what the CDC tells them.
Another example is treatments. My first doctor while in the ICU didn't know what to do, his treatment failed and that's when I got worse and nearly died. Thankfully, the second doc was more up on it. My friend Amy was in a hospital in Bremen, and they admitted to her that they still didn't know much about how to treat COVID. They took her off the steroids after just a week of them, and like me, she got much worse and they had to put her on massive O2 just to keep her alive. I asked her why they took her off and she said her doc didn't want to keep her on them because of the side effects. To which I answered..."If they don't get that crap out of your lungs, side effects won't matter because you'll be dead!". So she demanded that her doc meet with her in person and asked him to put her back on the steroids. And guess what...she got better and came home.
EVERY person who contacted me that was in the hospital said they started early on wanting to put them on a ventilator. They did with me too, and I refused. Amy and some others refused too, and they all came home. A friend of mine's son who was put on a ventilator died. To be fair, he might have already been too far gone to not put on a vent. But point being...they are defaulting to the ventilator instead of trying to fight the pneumonia. My pulmonologist told me flat out after I told him I refused the vent that I made a good decision and probably would not have come home had I went on one.
I realize this thing kinda blindsided us, but after a year and a half, why are doctors not better educated about treating this? It's unacceptable!
Lastly...the politics involved in COVID is causing people to die. The chain pharmacies and hospitals are ONLY using the politically approved meds and procedures. They won't allow HCQ, Ivermectin, or any of the other treatments that seem to have some merit. ALl they will give for COVID is Remdeziver (I had it too) which is terribly expensive, and a lot of friends of mine in the medical industry tell me it doesn't do crap. And I didn't know at the time, but it's not FDA approved either, just covered under the EUA. I was mostly over the COVID by the time I went to the hospital, I just couldn't breath. Yet I was given $16,000 of Remdeziver. We're treating people with politics, not medicine. And people have died because of it! And we don't dare speak of such on big social media or we're either censored or "fact checked". I don't even know my country anymore!
OK, rant over. For now...
