It’s actually not the THC, but still, weed has proven to be a miracle plant for many things.

Never heard of a chiropractor making that claim, but damn if it doesn’t feel great when one of them cracks my back or turns me into a pretzel. And my CBD weed balm works great on my knee and back. Free your mind, gramps.

Yeah but if you take one hit of a “marijuana” cigarette it could turn your brain into mush and even kill you

Go away. You're pre-harshing my buzz.

Didn't stop me from getting covid but I would like to think it helped save me. After all, I've been pretty diligent with my doses for the better part of a half century.

Heroin is great if you use clean needles and only do it on occasion.

PSA ...

tNYT wrote:“A large chunk of deaths are preventable right now with Paxlovid alone,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator, told me. He predicted that if every American 50 and above with Covid received a course of either Paxlovid or a treatment known as monoclonal antibodies, daily deaths might fall to about 50 per day, from about 400 per day in recent months.

So, if you get covid hi-tail it on down to your doctor or local clinic and get you some Paxlivid, ya'all hear.

Unless the rules have changed, you have to be considered high risk to get Paxlovid. But it’s worth attempting.

Good point ... here are the rules as of August 2022 (they may be changed, soon)

FDA Fact Sheet wrote:Who is eligible for Paxlovid?

• Paxlovid is for adults and children 12 and older who are at higher risk for developing serious COVID-19 disease that may lead to
hospitalization and/or death. Paxlovid should be considered for patients who meet the following criteria:

o Test positive for SARS-CoV-2 (with PCR or antigen test, including at-home tests), AND

o Have symptoms consistent with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 & onset no more than 5 days, AND
o Have one or more risk factorsfor severe COVID

• The FDA’s Paxlovid Patient Eligibility Screening Checklist Tool for Prescribersis a useful tool for assessing eligibility. See the
FDA’s Fact Sheet for HealthcareProvidersfor detailed information about Paxlovid.

Who is considered to have a risk factor for severe COVID-19?

• Per the current CDC’s Interim Clinical Considerations for COVID-19 Treatment in Outpatient guidelines, risk factors include:

o Age over 50 years, with risk increasing substantially at age ≥ 65 years
o Being unvaccinated or not being up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations
o Specific medical conditions and behaviors

FWIW, I am 59 wife is 51. I have posted this before, but we have an 8 year old daughter. We are all triple-vaxxed.

Daughter goes to school gets COVID but is asymptomatic. I am feeling a bit off, test positive (that is when we tested the daughter). Wife tests positive. Her quad-vaxxed parents also test positive.

We are all over 50, so we follow the governments advice. I go to a test to treat clinic literally no one in the place, you check in on your phone. Wait an hour, never hear or see anyone, feeling fine, I leave.

Wife goes to a different clinic, they do not give her Paxlovid (89% effective) but Lagevrio (30% effective) due to some other meds she is on.

Her father goes to his doctor who refuses to prescribe Paxlovid. Her mother goes to her doctor and is prescribed Lagevrio as well.

So, 4 people within the last week - all go to see a doctor and who should have been prescribed Paxlovid according to the CDC, none of us were.

Welcome to the real world.

Seems like weed is still the best bet, then.

Good to know so thanks ...

Just a quibble though, why didn't you go to a different clinic if the first one was effectively closed, and that your wife due to meds was given something else is why they require a doctor or clinic to prescribe it. Also, reason for doctor refusal Paxlovid for her dad?

All of this to say, if some gets covid they should still try to get one of the mitigating drugs, a reduction of risk of death by a factor of 4 is huge, though that factor is mostly for the unvaccinated.

My wife is 47 and was prescribed Paxlovid due to a blood clotting disorder.

I probably should have gone to another clinic - but I was not sure Paxlovid would do much in my situation. Yes, I am over 50, but I am in good health and in very good shape for my age. As stated earlier I am triple-vaxxed - I know my overall risk of death or even hospitalization was low (FWIW currently around 80% of COVID deaths are in the 65+ age range). I went to the clinic hoping to have a reasonable discussion about whether or not I should take an anti viral. As I said earlier, I was feeling fine.

As for my father in law - I am not sure. You would think he would be the textbook person who should be prescribed Paxlovid. He is 79, has some respiratory issues, and recently had pneumonia. We were most concerned about him. My brother in law (wife's sister's husband) is a trauma surgeon and asked an epidemiologist friend to look over his case after his doctor refused to prescribe it. In the end he felt my father in law's risk was fairly low due to the strain. Father in law is doing fine.

Not being fat and unhealthy will save you from Covid.

by Jacques D'Gatineaux 2022-10-07, 23:27

It's amazing that the CDC just up and fundamentally redefines a long standing medical term to conveniently fit their emerging narrative shift and everyone just continues on as if that's normal operating procedure.

No hyperbole, that is absolutely amazing to me.
