Thank you for your post, very helpful.

Prednisone used to be routinely used for worsening coughs
...I’m glad you could get a script?

I read an article last week about the Amish community doing this. They all sipped from the cup during communion.

The vaccine lowers your immune response and ensures you will get it, with the accompanying higher death count amongst the vaccinated.

He probably was prepared for any serious complications if it had arisen.

My point is it seems possible that a moderate case treated with monoclonals could give a degree of natural immunity on par with or maybe even greater than the immunity gained through a mild case that runs its course. IOW I have reservations about the claim that treating with monoclonals cuts off the possibility of gaining natural immunity. I’d want to see some data or expert analysis on that.

Problem is he’s already quite old.

Data is actively being sought.

Just because I've been posting here for 23 years doesn't mean I'm not an expert ;-).

My analysis is a mix of opinion and expertise, I have lots of both.

That was our approach at our house. No masks, live as normal, be prepared for when it comes. We stocked ivermectin and the vitamins from the IMask Protocol.

When we got it in May, we were already prepared and rode it out without any real issue.

If you are referring to Prager, that may well be. As I said, though, his risks may never be lower.

You could engage in the wishful thinking of these so-called “vaccines”, but I believe you will be disappointed.

If there was any talk at all of the development of a true vaccine, one might want to hold out for that - which might explain why there is not.

If you get the wuhan coronavirus and get an injection of antibodies, your body is exposed to the virus before you get the injection of antibodies.

When people take a vaccine, their immune system is stimulated for a short time.

They’ve been trying for decades, so I wouldn’t rely on a vaccine.

I think Dennis Prager's saying most jabs stop working after a year or so - -- people getting infected AFTER the jabs AND they're susceptible to new variants... So why not get the best protection - one that lasts - natural immunity?

(and it's possible the Chinese have some new killer variants they haven't released yet... ones biotech firms won't have time to create vaccines against... but that people with natural immunity will be able to fight off)

Sounds like “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a burger today” logic…somehow.

.maybe not the pregnant one.

My daughter's family got covid a couple months ago. She is about 6 months pregnant. With her Dr.'s permission went to the local farm&Home store and got apple flavored ivermectin.Followed the dosing instructions and she was fine after a couple of days.

Is that also true for people with very mild or asymptomatic cases as well?

Do you have to get very sick to build up immunity?

I can only imagine how dumb you'd have to be to believe this gibberish.

Duh, you expose yourself while your immune system is high instead of waiting foe it to get weak and then it can do a number on you.

Why do you suppose there are a bunch of so called asymptomatic cases?

I understand. We did not deliberately seek to infect my husband, but I tested positive. He immediately began taking ivermectin. We were already on all of the supplements. He continued on with life while I quarantined. He did lose his sense of smell. He works alone and usually outside and was no threat to others. He has great antibodies. He was at extremely high risk. By taking ivermectin, we believe he was spared the very likely severe sickness or death.
Once I recovered and we both took an antibody test to prove we had covid. We both felt relieved. We had no horrible symptoms. We were not hospitalized and we have natural immunity. Even if we get another variant in the future, we know that we can survive and that our bodies recognize this virus.
Our doctor prescribed the ivermectin, but we are very concerned about the future availability of ivermectin. We made a decision to purchase Ivermectin from India. We used two different pharmacies and got them both. If someone deliberately seeks infection, I would make sure to be on the I-Mask Protocol.

Maybe he means that he’s developing immunity to exempt himself from some vaccine requirements, for travel to certain countries, for example.

That would require those countries to be smart enough to accept a positive antibody test in lieu of a vaccination record. So far I have not heard of any doing this.

Husband did not get Monoclonal antibodies, but he did take Ivermectin before exhibiting symptoms. In fact, other than loss of smell, he never had a symptom. I tested positive. He had the highest antibody levels his doctor’s office had ever seen for Covid antibodies. The severity of the disease must have little to do with the antibody response.
