Not to be a naysayer but — I’ve owned dogs, horses and miscellaneous wildlife species and eaten rare pork loin many times — my animals never present with ‘ parasites’ after worming as young beings when I first get them- I do not have parasites— I was a med tech who did thousands of OCP stool samples ( Ova,cysts and parasites) and rarely found a positive one in Nola La where opportunities ( international port city/tropical climate etc/lots of lower economic population)— just saying for perspective— I’ve noticed a lot of folks mention “worming “ pets regularly- unless the pet is a feral street dog it probably doesn’t have parasites ( although dog parks are a new feature to spread disease and parasites)
Also — severe cold/ flu / Covid is linked to low vitamin D deficiency ( common in elderly in nursing homes— cause they rarely go outside) Healthy adults and kids and elderly who “go outside “ and get regular sunshine for an hour or so everyday rarely get “ colds, flu,Covid-/ All the “books” from the 40’s/50’s/60’s recommended at least 1-3 hours sunlight for babies daily to prevent illness
Really and truly I didn’t do the mask thing except maybe 2-3 times and thought if they kick me out ( I’m 70) okay I’ll order through favor delivery free for seniors— no one ever said a word to me— never wiped a cart / never used hand sanitizer/ rarely wash my hands unless bathing or washing dishes— I’ve not been sick or to a doctor in many years— humans lived for millennium without insurance or “ health care” as it’s called today— We’re still here as much as they try to kill us off throughout the centuries— we’re still here — think about that..
I broke a rib from Mononucleosis in the 1960’s — yet I’m still here— I guess I just don’t understand the urgency to “think you’re gonna die from a freaking virus that will always become more contagious but less deadly as it evolves “ — please just let kiddos get sick - fever serves a purpose (to a degree) and eat well, live well and get over this stupid crap of going to the “doctor/er/ clinic for every damn thing — my grandparents et al lived into their 90’s with no health insurance or visits to doctors— and that said I’m the only 70+ yo on no medication and I’m just fine
I loved my stick shift 6 cylinder mustang more than any I’ve ever owned but close 2nd was my cj5 Jeep — drove it all over big bend tx — between my horse and keep there was nowhere I couldn’t go ( everybody always said -I bet you hike everyday— I always answered “ no that’s why God made horses and Jeeps)..
I guess if you really think about it we useless eaters are actually the working class who create, facilitate, manufacture and grow everything for the “ useless non producers” — unless they are referring to the indigent “ homeless” and even they have probably contributed more to society at one time in their lives than do the “ useless non producers” This narrative needs to change fast — we made it, grew it, built it for their pleasure— stop that crap now —this civilization is ours - not theirs...
Hopefully it’s gonna be a low rain tropical storm-/ I grew up in Nola and hurricanes/ tropical storms can cause a lot of rain and flooding and even 40/45 nymph sustained winds can cause power lines to go down— I pray for the homeless without shelter— could really suck
I learned how to roll fall in my 20’s when I owned a rank horse — I still instinctively fall that way now that I’m 70 — only fell once so far cause of swiffer wet area and cane but — no injury and was able to get right back up — we all really need to go back to not seeing docs etc like humans lived a mere 80-100 years ago — figure this crap out and most of my great grandparents/ uncles / aunts lived into their 90’s actively— their freaking dogs and cats had no pet food— lived on scraps and no vaccinations unless maybe rabies which was required in the 20’s in some states — my dad’s dog ( circa 1924-1941 ) spitz/ poodle cross lived to be 17 with no vaccinations unless maybe rabies and no dog food only scraps— people we need to get back to this — all of my ancestors lived to be old and didn’t die of cancer — yes a rural life with hard work/ fresh grown food and very little entertainment or “ pleasure” but they were happy and God loving
I’m probably a lot older than you and watched Newt in real time with the “contract with America “ and although I trust no one but my dog or kids I felt he meant it and it was put forth as a good thing— I do truly believe he is disheartened and disgusted by the present regime as are we all
I hope Elon floods X with this days and days on end - south Texas reality
