I hope you are, of course to really see how healthy takes a lot of non routine medical screening...you seem like a wheat grass tofu guy to me, so maybe you are..

Monoclonal AB treatment is for mild to moderate disease only. Not for hospitalized patients. I used it some during the peak outbreak in Jan and Feb. Worked great for a few, they started to feel better within hours. For some it did not work. I think it is used less recently as there is some resistance that has developed.
Agreed on timing of use. Not so sure on your other point. This is from 5 hours ago
I mean, what does he know, right?
Your said it was being used less. Looks like this public health guy is encouraging it ti be used more. Horse meet water….now drink
Do you treat patients based on recommendations from public health officials, based on science? At least his credentials are verifiable….yours, not so much
What about the CDC, you follow their guidance?

60% of those hospitalized in the UK are fully vaccinated.
That number is too big to just be “spill over” from the unvaccinated. In fact, I’m not a mathematician but I think it’s a majority.
Luckily their gov’t didn’t ban therapeutics and let information spread about Ivirmectin. It played an important role in the dramatic decline in death over the last few weeks.
Let me guess....you got that off the internet. sheesh....
Come on man....these doctors on here (on the internet, that we cannot verify their credentials) are much more believable than Doctors and other health experts that we CAN verify their credentials. Just sayin.
Do not believe anything on the internet (you know, the information highway). So, I sent out some carrier pigeons for information. We should know something in a couple weeks.
Actually I think I saw this on mainstream news. They were analyzing the areas that adopted it and those that didn’t and showed how the trends were headed in the opposite direction.
That stat is disputed, no proven correlation between the meds snd decline in cases.
The Gator lounge “doctors” say there are no treatments. Everyone else is not to be believed. And the medical community still can’t figure out why folks are skeptical
I go back and forth on wether to get the vaccine. My wife and daughter have received it. I’m a little hesitant because I lost a friend who was extremely healthy to COVID. He didn’t know he had the virus when he took the vaccine. He has zero symptoms and wasn’t even sick. Six days after taking the vaccine he was dead. He had all the reactions, including clotting. I think he would be still alive if he didn’t get the vaccine. I really think it killed him.
No but it was data, and I was surprised they were even talking about a therapeutic that didn’t put $3000 a dose into the medical system.
I guess everyone has moments of being human.
That’s extremely sad and tragic. It seems that you cannot blame the death on the vaccine if he died so soon after it. As you say he caught the Covid virus before the shot.
I’m wondering if the virus was exacerbated by the shot. They should really test you before taking the vaccine. I think this has happened in some cases.
Wait, a vaccine that doesn’t kill anyone has a known timeframe death can occur?
And if it takes so long is that why you have to sit there for 30 minutes before you can leave?
Get your narratives straight doc.
The wheat grass tofu guy part owned me. Well done.
I believe in moderation, daily exercise and regular visits to my doctor. I don't believe in trends, quick fixes or extreme measures. I wasn't always so disciplined and it required a change in lifestyle...which is hard. Almost all things that are worthwhile are hard.
What about the opinion of your peers, or CDC guidance? We respect that?
With that attitude. If it gets bad, you uppity bastards may get treated with the same attitude that is being presented to cops.
Remember 9/11 when cops and firemen were heroes? Guess what? They are being shot at now. Save your arrogance and be humble for what you do.
It’s all narrative brotha. Heroes now, villains later. Whatever gets the emotions, votes and donations rule the day.
You know the deal
I won’t turn on them because I believe they are all heroes, doing the best they can. That being said, can you imagine the general publics opinion if there are even more serious consequences to the vaccines down the road? Things could get ugly.
I’d never turn on police, firemen, first responders, our military, front line workers, doctors, nurses, etc. Those are the true heroes.
My “pop a doc” post was a stupid joke that someone took way out of context.
The difference between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated is jarring. We have a bit of an uptick here, but it doesn't sound as bad as where you are. Pretty much everyone who's been hospitalized has been unvaccinated. The only case of a vaccinated patient is a 90 year old end stage dementia patients on hospice. We don't think she's even here for COVID though, as she came in with delirium and hypernatremia probably from an UTI as she has no respiratory symptoms.
I completely agree that this is pretty much a preventable disease at this point, or at least the severe symptomatic cases are preventable. As a physician I still have a professional responsibility to educate and push people to get vaccinated, but I no longer feel as much of a moral/social obligation to push for prevention/mitigation measures like vaccines and to a lesser extent masks.
Thus, for those who don't want the vaccine, I say you do you. The information is clear, and the message from healthcare professionals across both sides of the political divide is consistent. You're free to choose what to do to your own body, just don't blame anyone but yourself for the consequences.
One side note, and this is worth repeating. Death is not the only bad thing that can happen in COVID. So many survivors are so debilitated for so long. If you require anything more than a couple days of hospitalization, chances are it's gonna be months at least until you fully recover, if you ever do. So bear this in mind when you're thinking about the risks vs. benefits of getting vaccinated.

Some people are fixated on the mortality. Yes, an otherwise young and healthy, but unvaccinated, person probably won’t die if they are infected. But trust me when I say that having an illness that affects your breathing is a profoundly unpleasant experience when things get bad. There is nothing quite like the sensation that you can’t get enough air.
Some people are speculating about the long-term affects of the vaccine. Meanwhile, there is a large group of COVID long haulers with documented long-term issues like vascular damage, reduced lung capacity, etc. I don’t know why this doesn’t factor into the risk/reward calculations of the vaccine-hesitant.

Very true, a lot of pulmonary cripples have been created by this disease and it’s unclear if they will ever get better. Probably not looking at their x-rays in the degree of pulmonary fibrosis that has been created by the Covid infection and the body’s response to it.
