CA ends state level mask mandates for kids and schools / day care, effective in another 1.5 weeks. You can have local mandates if you’ve got enough zealots still in charge.

Uh, what year? Now, or sensible?
Follow up on Vit D vs covid. A study from Israel uses pre-infection medical data on Vit D levels to compare those patients’ outcomes when hospitalized for covid.

Here’s the visual for older patients, quite obvious impact.
To overcome this possible bias, we followed a previously described methodology of using the most recent historical vitamin D prior to COVID-19 illness [25]. With this approach, the vitamin D values obtained assuredly preceded COVID-19 infection and reflect the potential effect of vitamin D serum status on COVID-19 disease severity and mortality. To further ensure a high degree of accuracy with regards to 25(OH)D levels preceding the infection date, we performed our analyses using the pre-infection value as well as predicted values from a cosinor model, which considers the cycles of serum vitamin D values across the seasons of the year.
A lower vitamin D status was more common in patients with the severe or critical disease (<20 ng/mL [87.4%]) than in individuals with mild or moderate disease (<20 ng/mL [34.3%] p < 0.001). Patients with vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) were 14 times more likely to have severe or critical disease than patients with 25(OH)D ≥40 ng/mL (odds ratio [OR], 14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4 to 51; p < 0.001).
In short, there was a huge and statistically significant correlation between having good levels of Vit D pre-illness and dying or having serious covid issues. For example, one table shows that of those with “critical” hospitalization outcomes, 92% were serious deficient in Vit D (<20) before their illness while 0% had sufficient or higher levels (>30).

Nothing to see here, the Wuhan - NIH connection.
Good recap on NIH’s coverup as well as some help from Google and the scientists directly involved in the gain of function research if you want more.

Bad news on monoclonals - they work great for viruses they were targeted for, but not so much for newer, mutated variants. Only 2 of the main ones worked for the original O (BA1), in contrast to Delta where many worked. New research shows none of the current monoclonals work vs the new O strain (BA2).
If you’re worried health wise for consequences of covid infection, hopefully you can get the PFE pill. Note it has many contraindications, including kidney issues and statin drugs commonly used for high cholesterol. You can’t get a new kidney quickly, but you could talk to your doctor about switching to a different drug that wouldn’t interact badly.

On a side note, my understanding is that it’s not the actual antiviral agent in the PFE pill that causes these bad interactions with many current medications, but a time delay drug they added so you could only take the pills twice daily instead of more frequently.

A bunch of doctors and academics / researchers discussing covid related mandates, masks, vaccines, kids, etc. you won’t find this one on Google’s YouTube. Lockdowns were pretty soundly ridiculed.

Academics paid off to pan generic drug results in favor of their sponsor’s? Nah, that would never happen. Ivermectin drama.
Meanwhile, in FL if the local docs get any pushback from their hospital on proscribing what they think is best, they can report the hospital to the state government.
The guidance also states that doctors can make a report to the Agency for Health Care Administration if their hospital prevents them from treating their patients who wish to try certain medications not recommended by the federal health agencies.

This is just one more story that will never make it in the American mainstream media. I wonder if they ever will out Fauci.
Maybe after he is dead and gone.

Might as well throw a few more billions at PFE for their election help, plus we needed to do something to look like we were doing something about covid until this war bailed us out, and we could pretend to do something about that instead.

Although currently in a pliable state of mind, if that document’s facts are factual, your first line is not a question, but a statement, provable to a jury. Probably not unanimous, but no less than 4-2 (big pharma can buy off ~20% :).
Fauci’s personal financials and fortune were investigated by a Forbes writer who had done many other acclaimed forensic investigations. Of course he did a good job on The Science, and got fired for the privilege.

Of course Pfizer would say this…
Currently, children ages 5 to 11 are eligible for two pediatric doses of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine but are not yet eligible for a booster.
And kids under age 5 are not yet eligible for a Covid-19 vaccine – though that could change this spring,
Anyone else getting sick of the term “eligible”? Stop implying they’re just waiting for their turn, and admit it’s because such doses haven’t been approved due to lacking data regarding it’s safety, effectiveness, and/or necessity.
