In my experience, maskers don't believe masks offer foolproof protection against COVID, but that they cut down on the COVID-filled droplets floating through the air. In their view, "even if just saves one life," it's worth it for billions of us to impede our own breathing for over a year. Nevermind the problems the masks might cause as we're deprived of fresh air, breathing in mask-trapped pathogens all day.
Yeah, TPTB really covered all their bases when they dropped the "cuts down on droplets" bullshit into the Zeitgeist. Run into this argument pretty frequently, and usually from the type of person who is qualified to know better, and under other circumstances would realize it's bullshit.
They know how to manipulate both sheep and midwits.
As funny as this is, it is also mean to do and I dont advocAte this... these poor bastards are , in some cases, permanently damage psychologically from this. These people need help.... they will need our help, to guide them out of the darkness and into the light...
Try NAC it breaks down mucus. I have a similar problem (I'm a smoker) and NAC has really helped. Plus it's a precurosr to Glutathione which all those who died on the ventilarors (for covid) were found to be seriously deficient in (as well as Vit D). And of course the mucus is a problem in Covid anyway.
And as an added bonus, it broke the spike proteins in hamsters and basically saved their lives.
Of course if you are in US the CDC has just made it prescription only. I used to get Best Naturals brand which is a US company I think and it's not available anymore in UK Amazon. Other brands are so plan to stock up as they'll likely pull the same thing over here.
How on earth they can justify making a harmless amino acid prescription only without raising serious red flags about their intentions beats me.
That's a whole raft of health science info, to be coming from a smoker.
Here's hoping you find the strength to care about your own health and saving your own life, patriot!! Cold turkey is two weeks of mental hell followed by a lifetime of satisfaction and improved health (both physical and financial) plus a supreme sense of moral superiority—just kidding man! A little humor to decorate the message :)
Oh I know. Been smoking since I was 11 years old (61 now), used to buy them loose on the way to school (haha newsagents sold 'em to young kids then and nobody batted an eyelid). I don't want to quit badly enough I think, as every time I have tried I have failed. I'm just reducing them at the moment.
Worst thing I ever did was buy the raw leaves (heh healthier, none of the additives) as I smoked much much more because it was so cheap. UK made it really difficult to by the raw leaves (no taxes as agricultural product) for individual use so that made me cut back anyway.
Had no problem quitting drinking and I used to drink a lot starting from when I was in my 20's, and many people were sure I'd end up an alcoholic. Quit in my 30's no problem, and it was a few years before I even had an occasional beer at Christmas again. Never missed it.
Wish it was as easy to quit cigs, but alas for me I think I just don't want to badly enough. I enjoy smoking (hard for a non-smoker to understand I know) so...
Thanks for not getting mad...as an ex-smoker and ex-doctor it's tough to just watch people do certain things if you care...LOL
But I respect their wishes as a free adult, same as with the free choice to consume cannabis, e.g., as an alternative to other smokables, alcohol, or some Rx drugs, etc. I figure what if I put out an encouragement into the air with no preach to it, and what if that day, that was the last straw for a given person to go You know what, it's time, I've had it and then they do it and get free and it saves their life, that was a good thing.
Or was it?
A comedian said "Sure, smoking takes years off your life....but hey...they're comin' off the right END!!" :)
I'm not mad 'atcha, no problem :) I get how utterly bizarre it is that I use herbs and supplements, understand about health and yet I smoke like a damn chimney.
Heh shortly before the Rona hit I started coughing blood. Like a lot. Did I go to the ER (or Casualty as we call it this side of The Pond)? Noooo. Scared the shit out of me, but I stated taking Oregano Oil, turmeric, cayenne etc (pepper stops bleeding funnily enough).
Hung on for about a week and there was just minor streaks of bright red blood in mucus I cough up but it got less and less. Then a week later I wake up with what felt like a massive amount of mucus in my throat and tried to cough it up. It wouldn't cough up fully I had to literally pull it out of my throat with my hands. It was thick rope of stringy blood. Black blood. Got it in a bowl in huge clots. Thought for sure I was about to croak.
Now my Mum had varices (booze) and I KNOW black blood is very very bad. I still didn't go to ER (yes, moron here). You know what stopped it and it never returned. Vitamin C! (LOL as an ex-Doc you are likely horrified by this - and how can you be an ex-Doc you mean you no longer practice?)
Something put it in my mind I needed Vit C and I did some googling and found that smokers take in very little Vit C (and many other Vits) many of the symptoms and the bleeding (i'd started t have a few minor nosebleeds previous to this). I think low level scurvy and it would only get worse. Yes, it's dumb to self diagnose but wasn't going to the hospital (especially now as the bastards will likely vax me). Ended up taking 12g of Vit C over the course of a day for about 2 weeks then I had to drop back as it started to give me the shits. But for those 2 weeks I could handle 12g easy. I started adding L-Lysine (already had it to treat the cat) as apparently together it build strong blood vessels.
Never had an issue since but I need to keep to 5/6g a day as when I skipped a day I got a small blood streak in mucus and didn't want to take any chances.
So guess I will keep smoking (albeit cut down but mainly for finance reasons). I reckon I have around 10 years before I croak if I'm lucky as both parents died in early 70's (baby brother was only 54). I think the supplements are propping me up, and will hopefully continue to keep me functioning for a while yet.
If I was younger I'd try harder to quit because more at stake. I only want to hang around to see the Good Guys prevail and an awesome new world begin. If The Great Reset happens though, I'll be glad to be gone!
But yes, I would echo what you say for younger people or people who want to live as long as possible. Don't smoke, avoid alcohol except occasionally, and eat proper food (weirdly I feel better and less mucus-y when I eat protein especially red meat)
A comedian said "Sure, smoking takes years off your life....but hey...they're comin' off the right END!!" :)
LOL, he has a point!
I got 2 fav excuses I use why I don't quit smoking. Smokers are apparently less at risk of serious Covid problems than non-smokers. Weird, but nicotine seems to provide some protection.
My 'go to' because I'm a perverse bint is to do with Aliens. Wut? Well you know how all those cattle mutilations occur, anuses removed like coring an apple, tongues and eyes removed, ditto pineal gland (I'm convinced they are a delicacy and it's nothing to do with 'experimenting' or testing tissue - bastards treat us as food).
What a lot of people don't know is the same mutilations happen to PEOPLE. Go look it up. They even got some Sgt on an Airbase somewhere in US, so even military installations are not secure. I remember listening to Project Camelot many years ago where it was revealed the bad aliens (or demons whatever) do in fact view us as food but they don't like how smokers taste. shrieks with laughter. Isn't that the most fabulous excuse not to quit 'Dude I'm making sure the aliens won't see me as chow'.
I've used that ever since. Especially since they went full on banning smoking everywhere. As if the Elite give a shit about our health. We die younger so don't collect out pensions, and pay more in tobacco tax than we cost in medical treatment. No, if you ask me, they are doing the bidding of their alien overlords and making us more palatable adjusts tin foil hat.
I think it's one of those that doesn't have any side effects - or it's very rare. I think they also use it in hospitals - or used to.
When you get done researching go look at the reviews on Amazon to see what people use it for, and the results they get. It helps many respiratory problems. I usually take one 600mg cap so I'm not not constantly waking up coughing and trying to hack up phlegm. Occasionally I'll take another one during the day. No problems with it thus far after about 6 months.
Interesting, I didn't know that! Yes, definitely look into it further.
Another one I find helps me re phlegm is Potassium Gluconate. I started taking it to slow down a fast heart rate and help with foot cramps. Reading reviews some guy mentioned he takes it to dry his mucus up. I'm less mucus-y when I take it than when I don't, with or without NAC.
Have to be careful with potassium though. I only take a quarter teaspoon in the morning with a magnesium capsule, maybe another quarter teaspoon in the evening. That's a very low dose only about 10%of RDA. Probably could take more as I don't have a very good diet for potassium rich foods, but don't want to risk taking too much.
Already on potassium . My son had low potassium on his blood work. Reading up on foods good for it he found canned fruit is very high in it, fruit cocktail peaches etc. He was surprised , but it brought his levels up.
from article: People with bleeding disorders or taking blood thinning medications should not take NAC, as it may slow blood clotting (48Trusted Source).
Yes. I also found out some of my coughing was due to acid reflux....and apparently Gaviscon chewable allow me to talk normally again (without sounding like a 80 year old smoker).
I did too. My PCP diagnosed me with gastritis, and then my ENT said to add-on the Gaviscon...who knew that that was why I couldn't talk or breathe most days! Hope it helps you too!
That makes me so mad that for years I've told various doctors about the wet gag inducing cough and not ONE has ever told me that. One of my sons has that too. I'm going to tell him about Gaviscon tonight. Thank you both so much !
??? I do the same when I run by masked covidiots on trails... alone ... who look at me like I'm the unhealthy one as they are usually obese atop that !
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

This.
Sneeze too.....after all, it is allergy season!
lmao good one
I like to make "baaaaaaa" sheep sounds.
I usually try to keep it quiet buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut???
Punch incoming
While I encourage a return to reasonable cough responses, beware the triggered zombie. Count the cost and walk without fear!
Bruce Lee enters chat
Most people trained in martial arts look for ways NOT to use them on members of the general public
Use the cough at grocery store. Dairy isle rubber neckers keep moving ?????
You are too funny, OP! Kek!

Nope.... I'm fresh out of empathy for these dipshits.
Bring back bullying and the absolute refusal to allow stupidity and ignorance ANY VOICE in the Public Square.
Drop the DECLAS.
Show them the crimes of their Puppet Masters and be done with it.
sorry anon... I am done with this SHIT
This isn't bullying. They're the ones trying to bully us into compliance.
Well apparently Q team isn’t done lol, so we’ll keep waiting
no they need to be removed
I don't even have to try...asthma/seasonal allergies do it for me most of the year.
Post nasal drip is a bitch. Cough til you gag.

That's my excuse and I'ma sticking to it! ;)
Going to research it now. I am on several prescribed drugs and need to check any neg interactions. Thank you. I've never heard of it.
I think it's one of those that doesn't have any side effects - or it's very rare. I think they also use it in hospitals - or used to.

Just read where it thins the blood I have had been in hospital for bleeding issues. Going to look further.
Interesting, I didn't know that! Yes, definitely look into it further.

As of today it is on Amazon.
Yes. I also found out some of my coughing was due to acid reflux....and apparently Gaviscon chewable allow me to talk normally again (without sounding like a 80 year old smoker).
Flonaise has helped me some too. I will try the Gaviscon. I have suffered with this for years ! All year round.
I did too. My PCP diagnosed me with gastritis, and then my ENT said to add-on the Gaviscon...who knew that that was why I couldn't talk or breathe most days! Hope it helps you too!
That makes me so mad that for years I've told various doctors about the wet gag inducing cough and not ONE has ever told me that. One of my sons has that too. I'm going to tell him about Gaviscon tonight. Thank you both so much !
KEK even if you can't see their mouth when you do it, the look on their eyes is priceless. Even better when they try to walk away quickly.
Why troll people, just because...seems childish.
well, they have the mentality of children, sooooo....
wait a minute... kids are way fucking smarter
I don’t disagree....but it’s like teasing an animal....it just doesn’t seem right.
I don’t see any mask zombies anymore thank God
Yeah, I just see future-dead people.
Morning kek! Thanks I needed this, also will have to try!
Hysterical!!
Brilliant
Asthma. It's hard this season. It's as hard asthma DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.
I cough in public all the time. If anyone asks, I just loudly announce that I smoke copious amounts of marijuana.
Of course, this is California, so that is actually a perfectly acceptable answer.
I love you guys
I have smokers cough..I'm waiting for the torches n pitchforks to show up.
??? I do the same when I run by masked covidiots on trails... alone ... who look at me like I'm the unhealthy one as they are usually obese atop that !
Tell them masks don't work and stay the fuck home if they are sick.
LMFAO!!
