Our daughter and her fiancée just attended a super spreader event in Tampa last Thursday night and both got Covid. Neither are vaxed. It hit them hard. HIGH fever, severe headache, malaise.... ugh. Her fiancée had it in Jan '22. They're both on therapeutics. First time with covid for her... he's gotten it three times.

I've certainly heard of vaxed people getting it multiple times. A close (jabbed) friend has had it five times. Twice due to Paxlovid rebound covid...

I'm beginning to think not being vaxxed is not something to brag about if you are constantly around the vaxxed or worse- mixing fluids with them.

It is difficult to know who is and who isn't when you are forced to be out in the public doing your job or at a social event.... My advice is; BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM! Everyone needs to hear that, not just the vaxed, who've had their immune systems sabotaged by the jabs. Everyone who has had covid, vaxed or not, should be boosting their immune system.

The best common sense advice yet, Maggie! We can’t avoid the vaxxed or shedding unless we live in isolation, and I don’t intend to do that. Strengthening the immune system is the way to go.

We take Ivermectin prophylactically when we have to go to a superpreader event, and that includes airplanes.

Hello,

Can you point me to info for the proper ivermectin dosing/frequency for prevention? My husband weights 75 lbs more than me. My limited understanding is we should take different amounts. Thank you.

I use horse paste. The syringe measures out doses via weight so it’s pretty easy. It’s in my farm store down the road so I get some for travel. I am rarely among more than a few people. I had a runny nose after Xmas travel so used it then. Didn’t test but the “thing” dissipated.

Also my question is how is the flu at a high risk in a 100+ degree desert!?! July not usually flu season, so … 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'll admit, my husband and I caught a "late season flu" in late May 2010 that kicked us down hard. I had to travel 2 weeks into it, with our daughter who was modeling and singing at the time... I was ill 5 weeks. My husband was able to rest and got over it sooner, as in 3 weeks. I hadn't gotten the flu shot, he had. I'm not insinuating that he was less ill because he was vaxed... he shouldn't have gotten it because he was vaxed, right?🙄😶‍🌫️ But it was a wicked bug. I never tested positive but my doctor was convinced it was the flu and was doing everything he could think of to get me well. Not with big pHARMa, but with suppliments. We still talk about how sick we were, with the flu... "Late season flu is far worse," according to many physicians who knew us... Their comments didn't help. I look back and wonder just what it was we were exposed to...

Personally, I believe a version has been around for much longer than the he last 3-4 years. Many of us had an extraordinary flu that was unlike amy other flu. Ever.

So. What was it really then? One of the most telling signs is a repeated spiking fever at night. And the virus moving from body to respiratory.

Never before had a flu that spiked fever more than once.

I remember when our daughter was a baby. My husband and I had flu at the same time and took turns sleeping on a mattress in the dining room. We cared for baby somehow. No relatives around. She never got sick. This was 1972. Never got flu again until 1998 and never since even with maybe 2 flu shots under my belt. But things come out of left field sometimes.

Been there, done that and it was hard with four! Few flu vaccines for me as well. I saw an article not too long back about a study into the flu vaccines over the years... they simply never really worked, NEVER. MD hubby has finally decided he'll not get any more vaccines of any kind... joining me, the reader, questioner, skeptic, non-MD who was a med tech way back when...

I finally got hit with Omicron because I had overworked myself in the heat. Maybe stresses on your bodies systems simply stack up, and the virus gets a foothold?

That's my anecdote.

I use Xlear nasal spray before/after exposure to reduce risk of infection. There was a study that Dr. McCullough wrote about that showed it reduced Covid infection/symptoms among healthcare workers.

They already use that and we do too! Since 2021.
