faux whistle blower

The minister ..... gave them 48 hours to tell him why they should not be suspended for reportedly wasting taxpayers' money and bringing the ruling party into disrepute.

basilico:
Zelenko said you give 400mg HCL first day. Plus Zinc and Vitamins.
Inquisition team gave intinated patients 800mg and no Zinc.

budaatum:
A resourceful man stood outside a shop, took pictures with his phone, and uploaded them to Google maps. He then went to the shop owner and told him how he was going to advertise his business for him and told him to google his shop. The shop owner saw he was on Google maps and told the man to add his photo and phone number, and paid ₦1000.

Next day the the shop owner called and asked the man to advertise his 5 other shops, for which he paid ₦10k. Other shop owners saw their competition on Google maps and asked him how he did it. So he called the man saying "see market".

The man's first year turnover was half a million. Second year was ten milliion. He has refused to state his turnover in year three and four, but he drives the best car on his street.

My advice? Create your own source of employment and income instead of relying on being lucky!

I don't need you to see me as wise

Reinaadebukola:
What are your thoughts on the topic, and what do you think should be done

basilico:
How about natural immunity. For people who have recovered from COVID-19.Do they need to be vaccinated while their body alreay has the antibodies?

budaatum:
By the people trying to prove HCL did work?

Konkoja:
Basilico is now a medical doctor and pharmacist rolled in one. You need help, man! I don't think you will get the help you require to lift you out of the hole you dug for yourself.

helinues:
Op, seh the blunt still remain some? I go like get high like you oo.

basilico:
Yes. They were overdosed to prove HCL dont work.

basilico:
The trials for HCL were done on the very sick; and patients were overdosed if I remember .
Ño way any alternative drug will pass FDA approval.Unless it's developed by big pharma eg pfizermectin.
That you can take to the nank.

basilico:
IMO its highly unlikely for any drug to be given COVID-19 approval as long as big pharma has the EUA for the vaccines.

basilico:
An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are NO adequate, approved, and available alternatives.

HellVictorinho:
Since it's budaatum saying it
It doesn't matter

You can turn, divert, spin and go zig-zag
I will rather die Hell Victorinho

basilico:
This is not a joking matter. Here lies the crux.

If Ivermectin or HCL passed approval by FDA the Emergency User Authorization for all those COVID-19 vaccines would be withdrawn. The Emergency approval of any vaccine is granted ONLY IF no other drug is effective. Those are FDA laws for each and every drug under EUA.

basilico:
Seriously what do these leftists want. Are they making life difficult out of saddism. The evil feeling a saddist feels after killing the most defenceless people of all.

Sooty and sweep: how the Victorians cleaned up the country

There is much we could learn from the Victorian fight against filth. A new book by Lee Jackson clears the path.

In 1849 the journalist Henry Mayhew visited the “cholera district of Bermondsey”. There, he met a barber in his shop. The man had survived typhus twice, but his child had died of cholera and his wife was in the workhouse with the same disease. And no wonder, “. . . for as the man sat at his meals in his small shop, if he put his hand against the wall behind him, it would be covered with the soil of his neighbour’s privy, sopping through the wall. At the back of the house was an open sewer and the privies were full to the seat.”

Filthy old London, its streets covered with the dung of 300,000 horses which stuck to your feet because it was mixed with melting macadam. The air was soot and smoke. The Thames was full of shit and therefore so was the drinking water; the graveyards were overflowing. Yet this was the century of Victoria, a time famed for sanitary achievement. As Lee Jackson demonstrates persuasively, our historical assumptions are sometimes as dense as a peasouper. The great Victorian sanitarians existed. They schemed, in a good way. But often they were less successful than history thinks, or succeeded far more slowly.

Jackson, “a noted Victorianist”, has put in time in archives all over London, as one can see from the depth and breadth of the book’s detail. We plunge into the workings of vestries (local boards), parishes, reports and committees, each better named than the next. (I can’t decide whether my favourite is the Society for Bettering the Conditions and Increasing the Comforts of the Poor, or the Society for Superseding the Necessity of Climbing Boys. The Victorians didn’t do snappy.) His thematic chapters cover a spectrum of London’s filth, from dust (rubbish) to sweeps (exploiters of those poor climbing boys, child sweeps, deformed into an S shape by a short life spent in chimney flues).

The trajectory is often similar: initial efforts in the early part of the century, then better efforts in the 1840s, the decade of the Public Health Act and of Edwin Chadwick, the best-known sanitarian of all. Jackson likes Chadwick, the “barrister and penny-a-liner” who stormed his way through the obstinate Bumbledom of vestries and vested interests and into positions of power. But then, usually, the reforming zeal faced difficulty and obstacles for a few decades until proper reform happened in the latter years of the century.

To cleanse London involved cleansing the poor. This was agreed, although Chadwick was no humanitarian, wanting instead to reduce how much money the poor were costing the Poor Law unions with their illness and death and trouble. And my, there was trouble. Jackson’s opening chapter on dustmen is his least compelling, so let us fall instead into the stinking graveyards, privately run by parishes and profiteers. Once a metal rod could be sunk easily into a grave, the dead were dug up, chopped and sometimes burned. A resident near Spa Fields burial ground saw “what appeared to be mash, which seemed to me to be the bowels of a corpse, which the gravedigger attempted to gather up in a shovel”. By the end of the century, garden cemeteries on the city’s outskirts became a pleasant burial alternative for the middle and upper classes, but the poor were still forced to pay a fortune to be buried. And they still are.

Present-day London is not as clean as we think. Sewage runs through the book, but two chapters concentrate on it, introducing us to the artist John Martin, who devised a plan to instal a great system of sewers into the metropolis, and to the more renowned Joseph Bazalgette, whose sewers still run under London’s streets, though now so overloaded and fragile that Londoners are paying £4bn for a “supersewer” that will probably last only a hundred years. Bring back Bazalgette. And Chadwick. And the Cheap Trains Act of 1883, while we’re at it.

Other peasouper-puncturing revelations: George Jennings’s public toilets at the Great Exhibition of 1851 neither gave us the phrase “to spend a penny” (as most of them cost only a ha’penny) nor immediately brought in a great age of marvellous public conveniences. Instead it took another few decades before public toilets, once moved into acceptably discreet underground quarters, became standard. (Sanitary improvements would often run into objections from vested interests, such as slum landlords, who did not want improvements in slum housing. Only bathhouses and swimming pools seem to have met no resistance.) Yet in clean new London, 50 per cent of public toilets have been shut down in the past decade.

There are many riches in this book – the Times, for instance, commenting on one ref­ormer’s efforts by saying that “Mackinnon’s Smoke Prohibition Bill has ended in smoke, just as his Interment Prohibition Bill ended in its own burial”; smog providing cover for “love in the fog”; and the Beckwith Frogs, a family that performed wonderful skills of “natation” as swimming pools multiplied.

Yet there are curious absences. Where is John Snow? From his blog, I know Jackson thinks Snow’s influence on sanitary history is overrated, as his discovery that cholera was waterborne was ignored for decades by the prevailing miasmatists, who thought that disease came from smell and air. But for such a magnificent epidemiological milestone to be reduced to a sentence in the epilogue seems perverse. Another puzzle is cholera itself. We are told repeatedly how powerful a trigger it was for change, yet we are given no sense of why it was so feared. How many did it kill? In what manner? The answer is: many hundreds of thousands, and rapidly and horrifyingly, because you could eat your breakfast happily and be blue and dead by supper. To confine these facts to endnotes is surprising.

By the end of the century, much had been sanitised. Sewers took London’s sewage away to the sea (though dumping human waste in the ocean is now banned). Cesspools and child sweeps were gone. Drinking water was no longer black and turbid, containing leeches and tadpoles. The poor could now wash their clothes and themselves affordably. Cholera was under control, and typhus diminished. Even so, despite all these eminent Victorians and their cleansing ideas and zeal, when the Chinese ambassador visited London in 1899 and was asked his opinion of this magnificent city, the jewel of a vast empire, “He replied, laconically, ‘Too dirty.’”

There you have it folks. Time to pay China for their “part” in rigging the election to bring in xiBiden. I read “alleged”, but there's no fire without smoke.
