  1. You made my morning! Needed to pull my chin off the floor.

    Miss seeing you but always read and take heed to your journalism. Looking for a rogue doctor. Just lost my cousin to the Chinese Virus.

    Anyway, I’m thinking of you and find comfort in knowing Patriots like you.

    Your friend,
    Carol

    1. Thanks Carol.

      Here’s a link to Zev Zelenko’s website. Not sure if he can get you ivermectin but he sells a Quercetin/Zinc/Vitamins D & C mix that can be used aa a prophylactic . It’s a cheaper if you buy the stuff separately but his price isn’t beyond the pale. https://zstacklife.com/

      Amazon, of course, sells veterinary ivermectin. Never, would we suggest you use it on yourself. Never, ever. Ever.

      They do sell it though.

      Vitamin D deficiency seems to be way under-reported as a cause of Covid deaths. NIH says up 9 out 10 Covid deaths have a Vitamin D deficiency. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33260798/

      Wonder why it’s not talked about more.

      Be careful, though, too much Vitamin D is a bad thing. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-d-toxicity/faq-20058108
