I agree. Many of us are really, really tired of waiting for some unspecified future while the present continues to go downhill. Alex, suggestions of what to do NOW would be well received by your readership.
Push BACK at EVERYTHING. My daughter is in the Melrose Center in St. Communist Park here in MN and they have a mask policy. MN Statute 609.735 outlaws face coverings so I tell them to call the cops when the Nazi's stop me.
Agree. I live in rural SW Minnesota and am so thankful I'm not living in the twin cities area. I actually haven't been to "the cities" since March 2020 - and I don't miss it one bit. I'll go to Sioux Falls instead, thank you!
Many persons get "stuck" with a pro-Covid healthcare provider because of their health coverage network "choices" (hah! what choices?). So there's no option to pick a physician, clinic or hospital that hasn't drunk the Covid Kool-Aid... or to threaten to stop payments in order to motivate them to change (because this, too, is controlled by your health insurance company, thank you). We've lost control over our own health care.
We lost it to the government in 2010 and with one Senator - JohnFuckingMcCain - who, after campaigning to repeal Ocare in 2018 and winning, was the single vote to thwart Trump.
It sounds terribly insignificant and superficial I know., But it still bothers me . My dog became inexplicably ill very suddenly, he needed to be euthanized, we could not go into the room with him we stood out in the lobby of the clinic hugging him on the gurney and we were told that it had to beDone as he was increasingly distressed. I said OK and they started the wheel his gurney away, he lifted his head and looked at me and I’m still haunted by the look, because I could not go with him.
I am so very sorry that this happened to you and your dog (family member). And, what you expressed did not sound insignificant. Anyone who reads what you just expressed is now tearing up.
I had the same experience with my 15 1/2 yr. old. sheIty. I called my vet for the end of life protocol. The assured me that I would be able to be with her when she passed. When I arrived, I waited outside with her in my arms, the techs came, took her and said the vet would call while I waited for the next step. I never saw her again, he called explained that I would not be allowed inside. I cried, yelled, screamed...she was gone.
I'm so very sorry. Dogs are family too. This happened to people I know. I give my Vet big kudos for never, not once, making you wait in your car or deny you that time with your pet at the end of their life. She was an anomaly by what I can tell, especially in Los Angeles. I know many Vets are STILL not letting people inside, to which I can only conclude that animal people really, really don't like humans much and are happy to shun us.
I am so very grateful that my vet, in October 2020, gave myself and my other dog the room and time to be with my beloved jack russell when it was his time to go. Some vets are very empathic towards owners too, and the lockdowns were also very difficult for them. I know one vet who simply resigned and left the practice as it became too much for her.
Choking up and so, so sorry to hear this.. That vet clinic should lose their license - despicable and unforgiveable they way you and your dog were treated.. Makes me furious and I don't know you or your dog.. My golden had a relatively significant leg injury and I had to take him to a specialist vet. Same thing - they made me 'check-in' via phone call once I arrived, they then had us wait in the car until they were ready to see him, then walked outside with their face diapers on to take my Chase into the office and would not let me go with.. I simply wanted to be with him to comfort and relieve whatever stress Chase may have been feeling. While my story pales in comparison to yours, I feel your pain, and still think back to that vet's office and want to choke those people. Unreal what vet 'caregivers' were willing to stoop to in the name of 'science'.
PS: your story is not insignificant or superficial. Do not apologize for your very real feelings about your beloved pet..
NOT insignificant at all. The casual cruelty of Covid fanatics has taught me a great deal about human nature. That and our fear of standing up to the mob. Very sorry on the loss of your beloved pet.
John Lakeside, I left this comment on your blog after the beautiful eulogy you wrote about your wonderful, loving dog:
This is love at its best, and it is infinite and eternal.
You wrote that you often feel you catch a brief glimpse of him, though he's no longer here physically. You really are seeing his spirit. He still loves you and wants to communicate with you on a soul-to-soul level. If you can accept that, you will be able to feel his presence with you for the rest of your life. And you will be helping him, not only yourself. He needs your love just as much as you need his.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It isn't insignificant. All of us who love our pets understand.
Unfortunately, I have lost several dogs (one of the downsides of adopting the old dogs I suppose). I would strongly recommend finding one of the services that come to your home if you need to euthanize your loved one. It is way less stressful on your dog and on you.
I am so sorry this happened to him and you and your family. It’s not insignificant! They are our family. Often closer to us than some family members. And they depend on us for almost everything. Not being able to hold him in his last moments is barbaric and very significant.
It’s horrible. A few months ago my hospital was going to have volunteers come and visit lonely Covid patients and asked if I had any ideas. I said yes, we have lots of volunteers, they are called family members. It is unbelievable the disconnect from reality going on. Got in many arguments with fellow nurses about this ridiculousness. Covid patients still can’t have any visitors. TB patients can have visitors. Flu patients can have visitors. What sense does this make?
RN here. One of the hardest things I have had to work through during the past two years is how my health care colleagues just went with the flow. Never questioned any of it, no matter how absurd, no matter how cruel, no matter how inconsistent. It was like they fell under a spell, a mania.
It really was awful. I still can’t understand it. When I think about how awful 2020 was, my heart sinks at how horrible it actually was, and how so many people suffered under the hysteria and absurdities and so many went along with it. And cheered at punishing anyone who questioned or dissented from it.
The man who was my doctor for over 20 years retired last summer. I was transitioned to a new doctor in the same clinic who probably had about 10 years of experience and many years left to be a practicing doctor. On my first visit to him we discussed vaccines and he told me he recommended I take the covid jab. I told him on no uncertain terms that there was no way I would take it. Then I asked him if he knew about the high number of deaths and injuries in the VAERS database. He said he has never heard of it. Since then, I do not go to him for anything other than an annual physical but especially nothing that could be related to any covid diagnosis. I did a telemed session when I did have covid and got my prescription for HCL and Zpack and got over it with no problem. Since then, I've acquired enough HCL and Zpack to take care of future cold like illnesses for the foreseeable future and will not go to the doctor and especially not to any hospital for a problem like that. Basically, I do not trust the medical establishment anymore. Doctors are letting government tell them how to treat their patients.
That's exactly how I feel. My Dr. grew quite angry with me regarding my refusal to get the vaccine. So I don't see her anymore, and found a better, real human Dr., that I see as little as possible, because the health system he works for is killing people in their hospitals with the ridiculous covid protocols.
Don’t take antibiotics for viruses (z pack). You are fighting your own immune system when you do.
Good drs never prescribed antibiotics for viruses but now they do. They also didn't vent anyone until there was absolutely no other way. Vents kill so easily.
Covid often comes with secondary bacterial pneumonia. Hence the Z pack recommended by Dr McCullough & by Frontline doctors. Given the status of medical practices & hospitals, I highly recommend Z pac if diagnosed with C19. I’m an ICU RN. Unjabbed. For patients that ARE jabbed, the Z pac could mean life or death. Hours matter.
Yes and no. Initial Covid. Yes. But when it moved to the lungs and started sepsis, zpak worked. The spike protein can do a lot of damage quickly. The ‘cold’ version is a blessing. All variants aren’t just a cold. Family experience with alpha, delta, omicron, and another not-sure-which.
Boot - the abx is not for Covid. It for bacterial pneumonia that sets up shop in the lungs. The abx saved my friends life when she was diagnosed with pneumonia a few days after being diagnosed with Covid. When you have ground glass imaging on xray, you are in trouble.
While it’s true that antibiotics are of no value unless one has a secondary infection, it’s a good practice to have some on hand. Our mouths are full of bacteria. While the body fights off the primary viral infection, bacteria from the mouth invade the respiratory tract, leading to pneumonia or bronchitis. Time is of the essence. I’m happy you recovered without a secondary infection. Many are not so fortunate. Wasting hours, trying to get a script while already ill is a recipe for disaster
August. I also am a RN. Are you still working? Did you get an exemption? I got an exemption. Unclear what will happen this fall. Shocked that we could have such a nursing shortage and they are still mandating anything.
Lena, hi. Yes, still working & my exemption status hasn’t been questioned or challenged. We are so short staffed. Have never seen it this bad, or patients so sick. Multiple codes every shift. New grads thrown onto the floors with little to no supervision. It’s just unbelievable. I struggle to cope, tbh.
August and Lena, I read what you said about it’s good practice to have some on hand (antibiotics). I agree and I know nothing about medicine. But, 15 or more years ago, we were living in a very small town, up-to-date, but small. I always believed in being prepared for everything……so I found, on-Line, antibiotics for fish……..the antibiotic was amoxicillin…….I ordered it. Upon receiving it, I took it in to my doctor and asked her if this was the same identical thing that would ordinarily be prescribed by a doctor and she said yes…..I kept it for years……threw it out eventually. Your thoughts, please. Thank you.
Denise - I am aware that many prepped recommend doing as you did - they say it is the same. I personally do not know that so I will not comment on it. I only feel comfortable recommending that a doctor prescribe a med from a pharmacy. That being said emergencies can occur so I understand doing what you did. I would just always make the effort to first see a doctor and get it thru the recommended channels to reduce risk.
the virus can develop into bacteria pnemonia...as it did with my husband! his PCP would not prescribe anything, his pulse ox was 88. we found a clinic that prescribed z-pack and prednisone, thank God. I'm a nurse and that is what helped him turn the corner. Flccc gives excellent advice on treatment. those doctors are trustworthy.
I agree with that yet I am positive a Zpak saved multiple family members when it got into their lungs. Next time covid for me, it will be IVM and NSAIDs and ALL the supplements (C, D, black seed, etc, etc, per FLCCC et al). I'll only do the Zpak and or steroids if it moves deep into the lungs. I will NOT go to a hospital. I agree that we need to be very cautious of overuse of antibiotics. God knows what the next bioweapon will be like.
The medical profession failed us all. And they too were held hostage to this stupidity. We saw those that spoke out against the Covid restrictions silenced. My daughter (15 1/2) and I had gone to her annual check up. The doctor was pushing the vaccine like a vacuum sales person. It was truly the complete sales pitch, with props and all. She went so far to say that the MRNA was test for the last 20 years, so it wasn't new. And the kicker, "I only have one extra shot left today." My daughter didn't want it, more importantly, I didn't want it for her and she told the doctor, "it's my mom's decision." The doctor told her, "no it's not, you have the autonomy to make your own decisions on your own body." WHOA! What? Thankfully, before I lost my cool, my daughter responded, and said, "I'm a minor, she's my parent - what she says goes." Phew - totally taking the kudos for raising her right. But that still didn't stop the doctor. She went on with this - which left me stunned. She said, "Well, you know, if you get Covid and go to your friends and pass it to say her grandparent and they die from Covid, that's like murdering someone." I'm not even taking that out of context. My daughter and I just looked at each other in disbelief. I was too stunned to tell her where to stuff it. The doctor left and we just thought these people are crazy. Truly crazy. And yes, we've never gone back and made sure to let others know. You just can't argue with crazy.
My daughter was at her annual check-up in May. She's 10 and we had to reschedule the appointment because we had Covid. The doctor, who I've always respected, started pushing the vaccine like she was selling the elixir of life. I said we JUST got out of our 10 day quarantine yesterday, I'm not vaccinating her. Her response was, "Well, we know that natural immunity isn't as good as the vaccine." I think my face expressed shock because we know the opposite.
Then she started in on gardisil next year. We probably will change doctors. My daughter has a nerve condition that causes daily pain. I'm not giving her a "vaccine" where the side effect is nerve pain.
First of all, can we get a round of applause for some extraordinary parenting and a heck of
daughter???!? Seriously - I am impressed. What happened to you is awful. This is so wrong. We can’t go on with a health care system filled with people like that doctor. I want something new. I work as a RN. I want to be a RN now in a different context. I do not want to serve these people anymore. It’s broken.
You really should have asked for your daughter's medical records and left. That's completely appalling behavior on the part of the pediatrician. That's nowhere near informed consent, it's manipulation and coercion.
I was hospitalized with the Delta Covid about a year ago. Luckily I made it out after about a week and am fully recovered… but the worst part about being in the hospital was the (lack of) care. I was put into isolation. The room was zipped up airtight. The nurses all wore heavy protective gear and were afraid of me. I was lonely…. And no one could visit me, not even my wife.
Maybe that was prudent, maybe not, but it certainly made a bad situation worse. I know three people who died alone in the hospital and I was terrified it was going to happen to me, too.
My “ Uncle” Jimmy, 94, fell at his home on Dec 24th while entertaining his extended family... they took him to the ER because he needed stitches... he tested negative, they kept him overnight for observation ... then they decided to do scans... the next day he tested positive... they put him in isolation and died 22 days later on his own. His wife or their children/grand children never saw him again. They are Catholic, not even his dead body. It’s criminal.
I read this my blood boils. I am so, so sorry. Our entire health care system, with the exception of some extraordinary doctors and nurses, needs to be rebuilt.
My extremely healthy and active spouse was hospitalized with covid and nobody was allowed to visit. It was absolute torture and I'll never forget it. Spouse was incoherent and left our (dream) home (that we worked our whole lives for) in an ambulance. I waited for the phone call that spouse would be placed on a vent, and knew if that happened that the end was near. Luckily spouse came through. I cannot imagine anything more cruel than denying loved ones advocacy by their family. Governor DeSantis signed a new law this summer which should prohibit some of these shenanigans. It's terrible what happened to people.
For the first time in my 58 year life, I am afraid for my country, I’m afraid for our way of life, and most of all, I am afraid for my children. China should be held to account for what they did, and so to should our “so-called”leaders at every level. What they did short term, under the circumstances, is at least somewhat understandable. What they are doing long term is inexcusable. I hope all of them got a good look at what happened in Sri-Lanka….
Yes, seeing all those tractors lining up in protest of having their government seize their farming properties. It’s all about control and chaos. It made me think of the truckers
In Canada when the little arrogant dictator Trudeau belittled and demeaned them. I can’t imagine being totally dismissed by people who have power over you…..wait, yes I can.
Rebel News, which reported on the Canukistan truckers, have sent a crew to the Netherlands. There's speculation that the EU wants to seize land to build housing for the huge influx of immigrants.
Stalin’s artificial famine redux. I think the threat was “reduce your cow methane and fertilizer use or these (malleable) immigrants will get your land.” Meanwhile it has been accidentally discovered that adding a certain algae to cow feed reduces their methane output. But why develop a simple solution??
Veterinarians are just as crazy as the medical doctors - still. In April, our cat needed emergency surgery. I had to remain in the car while they came and took him inside. I couldn't go in. Ok, fine. But then there were complications and he was hospitalized for ten days. I still wasn't allowed in the facilities to see him. Covid, you know :( He probably thought we had abandoned him for good. Yes, this was just an animal... not a human. But still. This happened in APRIL 2022! Is the medical profession showing their true colors and letting us know how dirty they really consider us or something? They think they look like brainiacs; I think they look like idiots.
I think vets are still doing theses things because they don't want to deal with pet owners... There is no reason why I can go everywhere and not enter a vet's office. Crazy!
🎯I agree. Here in Charleston we have an auto repair garage still enforcing Covid policies.😂 The rules are on their sign. Call first. No stop ins to make an appt. leave keys in car and call to let them know it’s there. Don’t come in. Not dealing with customers was so great they are continuing the policy. And people are complying.
The vaxxers and their comrades are fighting hard for Charleston. Very few of us natives are left here. Most who were left got out when the invasion began. Now it’s mostly people escaping Ohio, NJ, NY, PA bringing the very thing they escaped to us, along with bad manners. There is no community anymore and they vote for the same type of policies they left behind.
Your cat is not "just" an animal. He is an animal - a living creature who deserves dignity and respect. No need to apologize for or minimize your story because your cat is "just" an animal. These vets should be ashamed and canceled for their lack of compassion and common sense towards both their patients and their patients' owners...
Veterinarians and doctors are basically slaves to Big Pharma... neither put much thought or compassion into their patients.. the extent of the care consists of running up a bill with”necessary tests” and pumping endless vaccines and Rx’s into their patients. Clean living, kindness, Exercise, prayer and meditation along with herbal supplements will keep the doctors away! Keep them away if you can!!
Plenty of doctors have compassion for their patients. I can remember many instances of my mom coming home and crying over a miscarried or stillborn baby. I had a vet once that heard from a tech that my cat had died (not at the vet, he had been fighting cancer), and called me on my cell phone after work to express how sorry she was to hear that. That he had been an amazing cat, and would be missed by everyone who knew him. Btw, this was a doc at a vet practice with like 10 vets, not a small town practice with just her.
OTOH, I also know docs that went into medicine for the big money, and have precious little care about their patients. Docs are a spectrum, just like every other profession.
The problem is, even the compassionate ones are so heavily propagandized from medical school onward by Big Pharma that they truly believe in better living through chemistry. "Surely the pharma sales guys are being truthful, just look at this study their company carried out showing that Wonder Drug cures everything!" It's sad that such smart folks can be so blind.
I think its worse in a way for animals because they have no idea what is going on and , as you say, may think you have abandoned them. I was always worried about this with my dogs, they are all rescues, already scarred from previous treatment and being dumped and me not being allowed into the vets with them in 2020 was awful. But we are back to normal now - can't believe your vet is still doing this!
I will never forgive the cruel isolation they forced on hospitalized family members of mine, for no bleeping reason.
I also had a baby patient get in serious health trouble because when his mom was hospitalized for a stretch they refused to let her see her baby and she wasn’t even allowed to keep breastfeeding him, violation of Covid visitor protocol. Absolute monsters.
The sociopaths running our Idiocracy showed their cards during the Covid scamdemic. And while they would like us all to forget what they did ... and how they did it, they can't put the genie back in the bottle. We must ruthlessly root these people out and make sure they can never do this again. It starts at the ballot box, but ends with every individual understanding that the credentialed class are, for the most part, brainless phonies and do not have your best interests at heart. Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither.
I just got back from yearly ob/gym visit. Walked in no mask. 3 receptionists, 2 masked, 1 without. Frontline gal with mask told me I had to wear one as she tried handing it to me. I said no thank you politely. 2nd gal that was unmasked but now had one on said I had to wear it. I then said No, I can’t, it makes me sick to my stomach plus the chemicals in the mask are not good for anyone and I called her out on her own mask hypocrisy of not having one on when I walked in. I was then told I couldn’t come in without it. I said ok, make a copy of all my medical records and I will be leaving and consider me no longer a patient. (Mind you, I have been a patient for over 25 years and I’ve always thought my doc was fairly cool. Last year, I did not wear one to my visit and I remember her saying then, that she wouldn’t be wearing one if it wasn’t required and that I did not have to.) I then went off on everyone with a totally justified rant about Covid theatre, masks don’t work, OSHA does not make laws, etc etc. I was super pissed. My doc came out and I gave her an earful too. I did not give a shit at this point. Fuck these people that push this bullshit. I found out that she was a complete idiot, she said I needed to wear a mask to protect myself. I told her she could breathe on me all she wants, I’ve had it 2x and my Vit D and antibodies levels were off the chart. The compromise became that I would hold the mask in front of my mouth but not put it on as I walked in 20 steps to the room. Fucking ridiculous. Only problem, I drove an hour to get there so I agreed. I did make a remark in the room that doctors have totally stopped caring about the ‘Do No Harm’ oath. The bottom line here is that I have a year to find a new doc, hopefully a sane, non medical cartel one. Wish me luck!
Good for you CinnamonGirl! The hypocrisy is off the charts, the Covid nazis are reluctant to give up their moment in the sun. Glad you shut them down and called them out! Good luck finding a replacement. After all - they can all be replaced. You are the paying client. Vote with your feet - like DeSantis says! And the unmasked one putting on her mask - priceless!!!!
Please cover the attack on doctors by state licensing authorities. Many doctors are afraid to do what they know is right for their patients out of concern for their licenses. They're afraid to even support simple medical exemption requests under employer vaccine mandates, for example. CA has Assembly Bill 2098 pending that would restrict doctors even further... https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2098
These stories are awful. The medical community has lost my trust forever. My PCP is still trying to do PHONE visits, not even Zoom. Phone. I had to INSIST on an in person visit because I wanted my heart checked. And, spare me the 'change your doctor' lecture. I see this person once a year and really doubt any other doctors in my area that take my insurance are better. My plan is to avoid mainstream medical professionals as much as possible as they obviously don't know much about health.
Because I am fair and both my parents have had skin cancer, I get checked by the dermatologist every other year. The last time was about 18 months ago. She actually thanked me for coming in to see her. She said 'you can't accurately diagnose a mole on Zoom.'
I am putting my colonoscopy off for the forseeable. Don’t trust them to not jab me while I am under anesthesia. Never thought I would question the motives of my healthcare provider.
35 states stopped “elective” (pre-scheduled) procedures: biopsies, bloodwork, bowel resections, x-rays etc. I moved to a state where I could get biopsy & surgery. Never left. Shame👏on👏medical👏cabal👏
I was just thinking of this the other day. I recently had a prophylactic double mastectomy for a gene mutation. Unexpectedly found stage 0 breast cancer (cancer not yet invasive)- my “treatment” is done now that the boobs are gone. But What if it were 2020 right now? And my surgery was delayed 6-12 months? What would’ve happened? Unfortunately lots of people probably found out. 💔
These stories should be archived for future generations to reflect on what happens when CCP-like restrictions are applied to “free” world democracies. Astonishing‼️
Exactly. Never forget. This must be vigorously opposed in the future. The US and state constitutions give us many legal tools against this insanity.
It's still happening. It must be opposed NOW.
I agree. Many of us are really, really tired of waiting for some unspecified future while the present continues to go downhill. Alex, suggestions of what to do NOW would be well received by your readership.
Push BACK at EVERYTHING. My daughter is in the Melrose Center in St. Communist Park here in MN and they have a mask policy. MN Statute 609.735 outlaws face coverings so I tell them to call the cops when the Nazi's stop me.
Good for you. MN (twin cities area) is so far gone.
It is and the radicals that run the Cities love it while hiding behind taxpayer provided security
Agree. I live in rural SW Minnesota and am so thankful I'm not living in the twin cities area. I actually haven't been to "the cities" since March 2020 - and I don't miss it one bit. I'll go to Sioux Falls instead, thank you!
Many persons get "stuck" with a pro-Covid healthcare provider because of their health coverage network "choices" (hah! what choices?). So there's no option to pick a physician, clinic or hospital that hasn't drunk the Covid Kool-Aid... or to threaten to stop payments in order to motivate them to change (because this, too, is controlled by your health insurance company, thank you). We've lost control over our own health care.
We lost it to the government in 2010 and with one Senator - JohnFuckingMcCain - who, after campaigning to repeal Ocare in 2018 and winning, was the single vote to thwart Trump.
That's assuming future (and not too distant) generations even have the freedom to see said archives!
It sounds terribly insignificant and superficial I know., But it still bothers me . My dog became inexplicably ill very suddenly, he needed to be euthanized, we could not go into the room with him we stood out in the lobby of the clinic hugging him on the gurney and we were told that it had to beDone as he was increasingly distressed. I said OK and they started the wheel his gurney away, he lifted his head and looked at me and I’m still haunted by the look, because I could not go with him.

I am so very sorry that this happened to you and your dog (family member). And, what you expressed did not sound insignificant. Anyone who reads what you just expressed is now tearing up.
No living being should die alone.
So glad you used the word “being”. Perfect
I don't think it sounds insignificant at all. What possible rational could there have been for separating you from your dog? Fear makes people cruel.
Fear makes people stupid. Stupidity is more dangerous than cruelty.
Sharon; I like you analogy. Scary and true.
I had the same experience with my 15 1/2 yr. old. sheIty. I called my vet for the end of life protocol. The assured me that I would be able to be with her when she passed. When I arrived, I waited outside with her in my arms, the techs came, took her and said the vet would call while I waited for the next step. I never saw her again, he called explained that I would not be allowed inside. I cried, yelled, screamed...she was gone.
THAT is absolute fuckery. Lying is malpractice!
OMGosh this is terrible. What in the HELL.
So wrong. And nothing will change it.
I'm so very sorry. Dogs are family too. This happened to people I know. I give my Vet big kudos for never, not once, making you wait in your car or deny you that time with your pet at the end of their life. She was an anomaly by what I can tell, especially in Los Angeles. I know many Vets are STILL not letting people inside, to which I can only conclude that animal people really, really don't like humans much and are happy to shun us.
Even in Florida there are vets that will not let you inside. They are not vets that I will ever recommend.
I am so very grateful that my vet, in October 2020, gave myself and my other dog the room and time to be with my beloved jack russell when it was his time to go. Some vets are very empathic towards owners too, and the lockdowns were also very difficult for them. I know one vet who simply resigned and left the practice as it became too much for her.
It isn't insignificant, my friend. Anyone who has loved an animal family-member understands.... Sending my loving thoughts to you as I cry with you.
Choking up and so, so sorry to hear this.. That vet clinic should lose their license - despicable and unforgiveable they way you and your dog were treated..

While my story pales in comparison to yours, I feel your pain, and still think back to that vet's office and want to choke those people. Unreal what vet 'caregivers' were willing to stoop to in the name of 'science'.
PS: your story is not insignificant or superficial. Do not apologize for your very real feelings about your beloved pet..
What you just said was perfect
Oh thats just devastating! I am so sorry, tearing up here.
NOT insignificant at all. The casual cruelty of Covid fanatics has taught me a great deal about human nature. That and our fear of standing up to the mob. Very sorry on the loss of your beloved pet.
John Lakeside, I left this comment on your blog after the beautiful eulogy you wrote about your wonderful, loving dog:
This is love at its best, and it is infinite and eternal.
You wrote that you often feel you catch a brief glimpse of him, though he's no longer here physically. You really are seeing his spirit. He still loves you and wants to communicate with you on a soul-to-soul level. If you can accept that, you will be able to feel his presence with you for the rest of your life. And you will be helping him, not only yourself. He needs your love just as much as you need his.
Goddammit that is fucking wrong on so many levels. My best dog ever is getting close and hearing this breaks my heart. God bless you and your dog.
💕
Absolutely heartless. Dogs are family where I come from.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It isn't insignificant. All of us who love our pets understand.
Unfortunately, I have lost several dogs (one of the downsides of adopting the old dogs I suppose). I would strongly recommend finding one of the services that come to your home if you need to euthanize your loved one. It is way less stressful on your dog and on you.
now that is absolutely appalling!
This absolutely breaks my heart. I'm going to be crying all day long after reading this.
This is the very opposite of insignificant or superficial, John Lakeside!
I am so sorry this happened to him and you and your family. It’s not insignificant! They are our family. Often closer to us than some family members. And they depend on us for almost everything. Not being able to hold him in his last moments is barbaric and very significant.
The medical profession failed! Miserably! When they were most needed, they cowered in fear and lost their humanity. Primum non nocere! Unbelievable!
It’s horrible. A few months ago my hospital was going to have volunteers come and visit lonely Covid patients and asked if I had any ideas. I said yes, we have lots of volunteers, they are called family members. It is unbelievable the disconnect from reality going on. Got in many arguments with fellow nurses about this ridiculousness. Covid patients still can’t have any visitors. TB patients can have visitors. Flu patients can have visitors. What sense does this make?
RN here. One of the hardest things I have had to work through during the past two years is how my health care colleagues just went with the flow. Never questioned any of it, no matter how absurd, no matter how cruel, no matter how inconsistent. It was like they fell under a spell, a mania.
It really was awful. I still can’t understand it. When I think about how awful 2020 was, my heart sinks at how horrible it actually was, and how so many people suffered under the hysteria and absurdities and so many went along with it. And cheered at punishing anyone who questioned or dissented from it.
The man who was my doctor for over 20 years retired last summer. I was transitioned to a new doctor in the same clinic who probably had about 10 years of experience and many years left to be a practicing doctor. On my first visit to him we discussed vaccines and he told me he recommended I take the covid jab. I told him on no uncertain terms that there was no way I would take it. Then I asked him if he knew about the high number of deaths and injuries in the VAERS database. He said he has never heard of it. Since then, I do not go to him for anything other than an annual physical but especially nothing that could be related to any covid diagnosis. I did a telemed session when I did have covid and got my prescription for HCL and Zpack and got over it with no problem. Since then, I've acquired enough HCL and Zpack to take care of future cold like illnesses for the foreseeable future and will not go to the doctor and especially not to any hospital for a problem like that. Basically, I do not trust the medical establishment anymore. Doctors are letting government tell them how to treat their patients.
That's exactly how I feel. My Dr. grew quite angry with me regarding my refusal to get the vaccine. So I don't see her anymore, and found a better, real human Dr., that I see as little as possible, because the health system he works for is killing people in their hospitals with the ridiculous covid protocols.
Don’t take antibiotics for viruses (z pack). You are fighting your own immune system when you do.
Good drs never prescribed antibiotics for viruses but now they do. They also didn't vent anyone until there was absolutely no other way. Vents kill so easily.
Covid often comes with secondary bacterial pneumonia. Hence the Z pack recommended by Dr McCullough & by Frontline doctors. Given the status of medical practices & hospitals, I highly recommend Z pac if diagnosed with C19. I’m an ICU RN. Unjabbed. For patients that ARE jabbed, the Z pac could mean life or death. Hours matter.
Very good point about the jabbed. Thanks.
You do know that antibiotics don't affect covid. at all. right?
Yes and no. Initial Covid. Yes. But when it moved to the lungs and started sepsis, zpak worked. The spike protein can do a lot of damage quickly. The ‘cold’ version is a blessing. All variants aren’t just a cold. Family experience with alpha, delta, omicron, and another not-sure-which.
It doesn't kill viruses
Boot - the abx is not for Covid. It for bacterial pneumonia that sets up shop in the lungs. The abx saved my friends life when she was diagnosed with pneumonia a few days after being diagnosed with Covid. When you have ground glass imaging on xray, you are in trouble.
makes no sense unless you have a secondary infection.
I've had covid didn't consider antibiotics
While it’s true that antibiotics are of no value unless one has a secondary infection, it’s a good practice to have some on hand. Our mouths are full of bacteria. While the body fights off the primary viral infection, bacteria from the mouth invade the respiratory tract, leading to pneumonia or bronchitis. Time is of the essence. I’m happy you recovered without a secondary infection. Many are not so fortunate. Wasting hours, trying to get a script while already ill is a recipe for disaster
August. I also am a RN. Are you still working? Did you get an exemption? I got an exemption. Unclear what will happen this fall. Shocked that we could have such a nursing shortage and they are still mandating anything.
Lena, hi. Yes, still working & my exemption status hasn’t been questioned or challenged. We are so short staffed. Have never seen it this bad, or patients so sick. Multiple codes every shift. New grads thrown onto the floors with little to no supervision. It’s just unbelievable. I struggle to cope, tbh.
August and Lena, I read what you said about it’s good practice to have some on hand (antibiotics). I agree and I know nothing about medicine. But, 15 or more years ago, we were living in a very small town, up-to-date, but small. I always believed in being prepared for everything……so I found, on-Line, antibiotics for fish……..the antibiotic was amoxicillin…….I ordered it. Upon receiving it, I took it in to my doctor and asked her if this was the same identical thing that would ordinarily be prescribed by a doctor and she said yes…..I kept it for years……threw it out eventually. Your thoughts, please. Thank you.
Denise - I am aware that many prepped recommend doing as you did - they say it is the same. I personally do not know that so I will not comment on it. I only feel comfortable recommending that a doctor prescribe a med from a pharmacy. That being said emergencies can occur so I understand doing what you did. I would just always make the effort to first see a doctor and get it thru the recommended channels to reduce risk.
the virus can develop into bacteria pnemonia...as it did with my husband! his PCP would not prescribe anything, his pulse ox was 88. we found a clinic that prescribed z-pack and prednisone, thank God. I'm a nurse and that is what helped him turn the corner. Flccc gives excellent advice on treatment. those doctors are trustworthy.
Dr. McCullough recommends doxycycline or azithromycin to cover bronchitis.
bronchitis
I agree with that yet I am positive a Zpak saved multiple family members when it got into their lungs. Next time covid for me, it will be IVM and NSAIDs and ALL the supplements (C, D, black seed, etc, etc, per FLCCC et al). I'll only do the Zpak and or steroids if it moves deep into the lungs. I will NOT go to a hospital. I agree that we need to be very cautious of overuse of antibiotics. God knows what the next bioweapon will be like.
Z-Pak 100% saved my life (was in hospital struggling)
I agree, but it’s a flawed argument when 85% of the antibiotics in this country are given to livestock.
The medical profession failed us all. And they too were held hostage to this stupidity. We saw those that spoke out against the Covid restrictions silenced. My daughter (15 1/2) and I had gone to her annual check up. The doctor was pushing the vaccine like a vacuum sales person. It was truly the complete sales pitch, with props and all. She went so far to say that the MRNA was test for the last 20 years, so it wasn't new. And the kicker, "I only have one extra shot left today." My daughter didn't want it, more importantly, I didn't want it for her and she told the doctor, "it's my mom's decision." The doctor told her, "no it's not, you have the autonomy to make your own decisions on your own body." WHOA! What? Thankfully, before I lost my cool, my daughter responded, and said, "I'm a minor, she's my parent - what she says goes." Phew - totally taking the kudos for raising her right. But that still didn't stop the doctor. She went on with this - which left me stunned. She said, "Well, you know, if you get Covid and go to your friends and pass it to say her grandparent and they die from Covid, that's like murdering someone." I'm not even taking that out of context. My daughter and I just looked at each other in disbelief. I was too stunned to tell her where to stuff it. The doctor left and we just thought these people are crazy. Truly crazy. And yes, we've never gone back and made sure to let others know. You just can't argue with crazy.
My daughter was at her annual check-up in May. She's 10 and we had to reschedule the appointment because we had Covid. The doctor, who I've always respected, started pushing the vaccine like she was selling the elixir of life. I said we JUST got out of our 10 day quarantine yesterday, I'm not vaccinating her. Her response was, "Well, we know that natural immunity isn't as good as the vaccine." I think my face expressed shock because we know the opposite.
Then she started in on gardisil next year. We probably will change doctors. My daughter has a nerve condition that causes daily pain. I'm not giving her a "vaccine" where the side effect is nerve pain.
according to the CDC (even) a few years ago, the Guillain Baré incidence rate for Garidisil is estimated at way over the 10% reported to VAERs
First of all, can we get a round of applause for some extraordinary parenting and a heck of
daughter???!? Seriously - I am impressed. What happened to you is awful. This is so wrong. We can’t go on with a health care system filled with people like that doctor. I want something new. I work as a RN. I want to be a RN now in a different context. I do not want to serve these people anymore. It’s broken.
These docs need naming and shaming so we can avoid them. That is horrific!
No. Docs like that need jail terms.
You really should have asked for your daughter's medical records and left. That's completely appalling behavior on the part of the pediatrician. That's nowhere near informed consent, it's manipulation and coercion.
Wow, you are a better person than I am. I would have gone bat shit crazy on that nutjob!
“Vacuum sales person” 😂😂😂 perfect!
Sounds like you are raising that girl right!
WOW!!!!! :o
That “healthcare provider” sounds like the car salesman (of old) who needed to reach his quota by the end of the month.
Pharma richly rewards "drs" that dispense a lot of "vaccinations", paid vacations and such.
sounds like not a drop of empathy in that "doctor"
O-M-G! And…you taught your daughter well! Keep it up!
I was hospitalized with the Delta Covid about a year ago. Luckily I made it out after about a week and am fully recovered… but the worst part about being in the hospital was the (lack of) care. I was put into isolation. The room was zipped up airtight. The nurses all wore heavy protective gear and were afraid of me. I was lonely…. And no one could visit me, not even my wife.
Maybe that was prudent, maybe not, but it certainly made a bad situation worse. I know three people who died alone in the hospital and I was terrified it was going to happen to me, too.
My “ Uncle” Jimmy, 94, fell at his home on Dec 24th while entertaining his extended family... they took him to the ER because he needed stitches... he tested negative, they kept him overnight for observation ... then they decided to do scans... the next day he tested positive... they put him in isolation and died 22 days later on his own. His wife or their children/grand children never saw him again. They are Catholic, not even his dead body. It’s criminal.
Stories like that are immensely sorrowful and infuriating.
Absolutely horrendous!
This is a crime. I am a nurse and every time
I read this my blood boils. I am so, so sorry. Our entire health care system, with the exception of some extraordinary doctors and nurses, needs to be rebuilt.
There should be a collection of stories like yours. The hospital survivors. Glad you made it out.
✝️✝️✝️❤️
My extremely healthy and active spouse was hospitalized with covid and nobody was allowed to visit. It was absolute torture and I'll never forget it. Spouse was incoherent and left our (dream) home (that we worked our whole lives for) in an ambulance. I waited for the phone call that spouse would be placed on a vent, and knew if that happened that the end was near. Luckily spouse came through. I cannot imagine anything more cruel than denying loved ones advocacy by their family. Governor DeSantis signed a new law this summer which should prohibit some of these shenanigans. It's terrible what happened to people.
yes, and now "the forces" are after Governor DeSantis.
Well at least a good number of people see through that crap now.
in NYC they just put people on vents, automatically. Killed them.
For the first time in my 58 year life, I am afraid for my country, I’m afraid for our way of life, and most of all, I am afraid for my children. China should be held to account for what they did, and so to should our “so-called”leaders at every level. What they did short term, under the circumstances, is at least somewhat understandable. What they are doing long term is inexcusable. I hope all of them got a good look at what happened in Sri-Lanka….
And the Netherlands.
Yes, seeing all those tractors lining up in protest of having their government seize their farming properties. It’s all about control and chaos. It made me think of the truckers
In Canada when the little arrogant dictator Trudeau belittled and demeaned them. I can’t imagine being totally dismissed by people who have power over you…..wait, yes I can.
Rebel News, which reported on the Canukistan truckers, have sent a crew to the Netherlands. There's speculation that the EU wants to seize land to build housing for the huge influx of immigrants.
Stalin’s artificial famine redux. I think the threat was “reduce your cow methane and fertilizer use or these (malleable) immigrants will get your land.” Meanwhile it has been accidentally discovered that adding a certain algae to cow feed reduces their methane output. But why develop a simple solution??
Oh, that’s great!
OMG.
Afraid is the exact word.
Afraid is better than asleep...
Veterinarians are just as crazy as the medical doctors - still. In April, our cat needed emergency surgery. I had to remain in the car while they came and took him inside. I couldn't go in. Ok, fine. But then there were complications and he was hospitalized for ten days. I still wasn't allowed in the facilities to see him. Covid, you know :( He probably thought we had abandoned him for good. Yes, this was just an animal... not a human. But still. This happened in APRIL 2022! Is the medical profession showing their true colors and letting us know how dirty they really consider us or something? They think they look like brainiacs; I think they look like idiots.
I think vets are still doing theses things because they don't want to deal with pet owners... There is no reason why I can go everywhere and not enter a vet's office. Crazy!
🎯I agree. Here in Charleston we have an auto repair garage still enforcing Covid policies.😂 The rules are on their sign. Call first. No stop ins to make an appt. leave keys in car and call to let them know it’s there. Don’t come in. Not dealing with customers was so great they are continuing the policy. And people are complying.
In Charleston, SC? Really? What’s happened to Charleston?
The vaxxers and their comrades are fighting hard for Charleston. Very few of us natives are left here. Most who were left got out when the invasion began. Now it’s mostly people escaping Ohio, NJ, NY, PA bringing the very thing they escaped to us, along with bad manners. There is no community anymore and they vote for the same type of policies they left behind.
It breaks my heart to hear this, Lori. The last time I was there, I noticed a change. Not for the better.
Hasn't been the same since the British sacked it
Your cat is not "just" an animal. He is an animal - a living creature who deserves dignity and respect. No need to apologize for or minimize your story because your cat is "just" an animal. These vets should be ashamed and canceled for their lack of compassion and common sense towards both their patients and their patients' owners...
Veterinarians and doctors are basically slaves to Big Pharma... neither put much thought or compassion into their patients.. the extent of the care consists of running up a bill with”necessary tests” and pumping endless vaccines and Rx’s into their patients. Clean living, kindness, Exercise, prayer and meditation along with herbal supplements will keep the doctors away! Keep them away if you can!!
Plenty of doctors have compassion for their patients. I can remember many instances of my mom coming home and crying over a miscarried or stillborn baby. I had a vet once that heard from a tech that my cat had died (not at the vet, he had been fighting cancer), and called me on my cell phone after work to express how sorry she was to hear that. That he had been an amazing cat, and would be missed by everyone who knew him. Btw, this was a doc at a vet practice with like 10 vets, not a small town practice with just her.
OTOH, I also know docs that went into medicine for the big money, and have precious little care about their patients. Docs are a spectrum, just like every other profession.
The problem is, even the compassionate ones are so heavily propagandized from medical school onward by Big Pharma that they truly believe in better living through chemistry. "Surely the pharma sales guys are being truthful, just look at this study their company carried out showing that Wonder Drug cures everything!" It's sad that such smart folks can be so blind.
amen
I think its worse in a way for animals because they have no idea what is going on and , as you say, may think you have abandoned them. I was always worried about this with my dogs, they are all rescues, already scarred from previous treatment and being dumped and me not being allowed into the vets with them in 2020 was awful. But we are back to normal now - can't believe your vet is still doing this!
Terrible. :'(
There has to be a better vet near you
I will never forgive the cruel isolation they forced on hospitalized family members of mine, for no bleeping reason.
I also had a baby patient get in serious health trouble because when his mom was hospitalized for a stretch they refused to let her see her baby and she wasn’t even allowed to keep breastfeeding him, violation of Covid visitor protocol. Absolute monsters.
And yes, my fellow doctors firing families for not getting a shot with no upside and potential big downside, nuts: https://gaty.substack.com/p/this-isnt-going-to-help-the-unemployment
My dentist retired and his partner fired me for not jabbing
I can’t imagine I’d want to go to a dentist who doesn’t understand medical scienxe
The sociopaths running our Idiocracy showed their cards during the Covid scamdemic. And while they would like us all to forget what they did ... and how they did it, they can't put the genie back in the bottle. We must ruthlessly root these people out and make sure they can never do this again. It starts at the ballot box, but ends with every individual understanding that the credentialed class are, for the most part, brainless phonies and do not have your best interests at heart. Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither.
I just got back from yearly ob/gym visit. Walked in no mask. 3 receptionists, 2 masked, 1 without. Frontline gal with mask told me I had to wear one as she tried handing it to me. I said no thank you politely. 2nd gal that was unmasked but now had one on said I had to wear it. I then said No, I can’t, it makes me sick to my stomach plus the chemicals in the mask are not good for anyone and I called her out on her own mask hypocrisy of not having one on when I walked in. I was then told I couldn’t come in without it. I said ok, make a copy of all my medical records and I will be leaving and consider me no longer a patient. (Mind you, I have been a patient for over 25 years and I’ve always thought my doc was fairly cool. Last year, I did not wear one to my visit and I remember her saying then, that she wouldn’t be wearing one if it wasn’t required and that I did not have to.) I then went off on everyone with a totally justified rant about Covid theatre, masks don’t work, OSHA does not make laws, etc etc. I was super pissed. My doc came out and I gave her an earful too. I did not give a shit at this point. Fuck these people that push this bullshit. I found out that she was a complete idiot, she said I needed to wear a mask to protect myself. I told her she could breathe on me all she wants, I’ve had it 2x and my Vit D and antibodies levels were off the chart. The compromise became that I would hold the mask in front of my mouth but not put it on as I walked in 20 steps to the room. Fucking ridiculous. Only problem, I drove an hour to get there so I agreed. I did make a remark in the room that doctors have totally stopped caring about the ‘Do No Harm’ oath. The bottom line here is that I have a year to find a new doc, hopefully a sane, non medical cartel one. Wish me luck!
Good for you CinnamonGirl! The hypocrisy is off the charts, the Covid nazis are reluctant to give up their moment in the sun. Glad you shut them down and called them out! Good luck finding a replacement. After all - they can all be replaced. You are the paying client. Vote with your feet - like DeSantis says! And the unmasked one putting on her mask - priceless!!!!
Good for you for hauling off on them. Everybody needs to hear the truth. Mask theater is done.
Damn straight cgirl!
Please cover the attack on doctors by state licensing authorities. Many doctors are afraid to do what they know is right for their patients out of concern for their licenses. They're afraid to even support simple medical exemption requests under employer vaccine mandates, for example. CA has Assembly Bill 2098 pending that would restrict doctors even further... https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2098
Remember on the anniversary of 9/11? The families read the names of people who died in the attack.
I suggest that the people who are sharing their stories ought to read them outside Fauci's office with a loudspeaker to amplify their messages.
Better still: chain Fauci to a chair and force him to LISTEN to what his arrogant, insensitive, UNNECESSARY policies caused.
Fauci was and remains a menace to public health and to society.
Better still: chain Fauci to a chair (period).
There’s always some humor here, even when dark. :)
Would you like that chair electrified?
These stories are awful. The medical community has lost my trust forever. My PCP is still trying to do PHONE visits, not even Zoom. Phone. I had to INSIST on an in person visit because I wanted my heart checked. And, spare me the 'change your doctor' lecture. I see this person once a year and really doubt any other doctors in my area that take my insurance are better. My plan is to avoid mainstream medical professionals as much as possible as they obviously don't know much about health.
Because I am fair and both my parents have had skin cancer, I get checked by the dermatologist every other year. The last time was about 18 months ago. She actually thanked me for coming in to see her. She said 'you can't accurately diagnose a mole on Zoom.'
I am putting my colonoscopy off for the forseeable. Don’t trust them to not jab me while I am under anesthesia. Never thought I would question the motives of my healthcare provider.
35 states stopped “elective” (pre-scheduled) procedures: biopsies, bloodwork, bowel resections, x-rays etc. I moved to a state where I could get biopsy & surgery. Never left. Shame👏on👏medical👏cabal👏
I was just thinking of this the other day. I recently had a prophylactic double mastectomy for a gene mutation. Unexpectedly found stage 0 breast cancer (cancer not yet invasive)- my “treatment” is done now that the boobs are gone. But What if it were 2020 right now? And my surgery was delayed 6-12 months? What would’ve happened? Unfortunately lots of people probably found out. 💔
