Ohio Nurse Speaks About Receiving Covid Vaccine | Craig Melvin | MSNBC

    1. The H1N1 vaccine gave me a painful nodule at the injection site, which disappeared after a week. That was so very preferable to catching swine flu. Sure, this vaccine might make you feel a little unwell, for a few days, but that is also preferable to catching covid and dying, trying and failing to breathe. As soon as I can get this vaccine, I’ll take it.

    2. @Deborah Freedman I took the small pox vaccine when I was in the army. It left a mark on my arm like a big cigarette burn that took a month to go away. I got really sick after I took the shot but I’m fine now. No side affects since then.

  1. Its about time! Now just months away for general public. Just hope we don’t see the roughly 400 thousand dead as they predicted by end of January? God bless 🙏 them.

    1. Ivermectin has been around for a while and won the Nobel Prize and being administered in many countries with incredible results.

    1. @CShield “no one will prescribe” doesn’t mean it hasn’t been tried. It was tried and proved to be effective.

    2. @ghibi Seriously, no one is using it because it’s only marginally effective in large doses.

      Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in cell cultures.7 However, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies suggest that achieving the plasma concentrations necessary for the antiviral efficacy detected in vitro would require administration of doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for use in humans.8,9 Even though ivermectin appears to accumulate in the lung tissue, predicted systemic plasma and lung tissue concentrations are much lower than 2 µM, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.10,11

      Ivermectin is not approved for the treatment of any viral infection, including SARS-CoV-2 infection. The FDA issued a warning in April 2020 that ivermectin intended for use in animals should not be used to treat COVID-19 in humans.

    3. @CShield says who? There are no major reports in USA in UK and other countries in which the vaccine was tested. Ones it is available in Germany I will get it done. I respect if people have reservations in general, but do not spread fake news. Your science denial chief doesn’t like fake news, doesn’t he.

    4. @Chris Burzig I’m not talking about the vaccine, I’m talking about the unproven medication that the one loser is peddling.

    1. @CShield That’s not how citing a source works. Don’t be the small minded moron who tries to pass off a researcher’s work as his own original ideas. It’s obvious that’s what you were trying to do. It’s quite sad, actually. Take care.

    2. @snowflake killer
      You want me to thank the super spreader of covid19? Didn’t him and his kkkult followers said it was a hoax and helped spread it even more?
      Scientist ( what trump is against ) were the ones that got the vaccines out in record time. Trump didn’t do anything just made the virus spread more.

  2. So thankful for these brave and dedicated nurses, doctors, and hospital workers. They’ve literally been on the front line of a war, comforting people in their last moments for months on end. 🙌👏🙏
    Meanwhile, idiots are protesting masks, which are the one simple thing we can do to help them. 🙄

    1. @ghibi Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in cell cultures.7 However, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies suggest that achieving the plasma concentrations necessary for the antiviral efficacy detected in vitro would require administration of doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for use in humans.8,9 Even though ivermectin appears to accumulate in the lung tissue, predicted systemic plasma and lung tissue concentrations are much lower than 2 µM, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.10,11

    2. In its June 12 article, the science journal wrote that 5 µM of Ivermectin brought about 5000-fold reduction in viral RNA of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 virus and the drug effectively kills almost all viral particles within 48 hours.

    3. @ghibi Here’s the conclusion to the study…lots of “maybe” “could” “if” statements.

      Conclusion
      In this systematic review, we showed antiviral effects of ivermectin on a broad range of RNA and DNA viruses by reviewing all related evidences since 1970. This study presents the possibility that ivermectin could be a useful antiviral agent in several viruses including those with positive-sense single-stranded RNA, in similar fashion. Since significant effectiveness of ivermectin is seen in the early stages of infection in experimental studies, it is proposed that ivermectin administration may be effective in the early stages or prevention. Of course, confirmation of this statement requires human studies and clinical trials.

      Ivermectin, owing to its antiviral activity, may play a pivotal role in several essential biological processes, therefore it could serve as a potential candidate in the treatment of different types of viruses including COVID-19. Clinical trials are necessary to appraise the effects of ivermectin on COVID-19 in clinical setting and this warrants additional investigation for probable benefits in humans in the current and future pandemics. On April 10, 2020, FDA issued a statement concerning self-administration of ivermectin against COVID-19 [43] referring to recently published in vitro study on this subject [15]. FDA highlighted that this type of in vitro study is usually used in the early stages of drug development. Moreover, further trials are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of ivermectin for human use against COVID-19 to discover preventive or therapeutic window [43].

      As noted, the activity of ivermectin in cell culture has not reproduced in mouse infection models against many of the viruses and has not been clinically proven either, in spite of ivermectin being available globally. This is likely related to the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic safety window for ivermectin. The blood levels of ivermectin at safe therapeutic doses are in the 20–80 ng/ml range [44], while the activity against SARS-CoV2 in cell culture is in the microgram range. Ivermectin is administered orally or topically. If safe formulations or analogs can be derived that can be administered to achieve therapeutic concentrations, ivermectin could be useful as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent.

    1. ghibi What is up with you, do you work in marketing for Merck or what? It’s intended for animal worm control! Was called the Japanese wonder drug and given out at no cost! It was tested on SARS virus, but was found that the amounts needed to be effective at all were detrimental to humans! What is your problem?

    1. @ghibi NO you are a Pathetic TROLL with NO life and NO friends. You are going into EVERY comment trolling your crap. Just to get attention. Congrats you win the ” Get a life” award for the day. Go back to the basement in your mom’s house and go back to playing video games. You have shamed yourself enough today. Now the WHOLE world knows you are a sad little troll. YAY YOU. YOU GO girl!! You aren’t a Doctor so you are NOT qualified to give medication reccomendations! Just a fool who’s life is crap and want’s to make the rest of the world pay for your failures and ineptitudes.

    2. @Ian Thompson I want to disagree because… bro.. you’re harsh. However, I am laughing so hard at your complete correctness of fact that I cannot. Thank you.

  3. the Corvid 19 Nurse said hardest part of it all was watching people dyeing alone. My wife and I marred 57 years have already decided that if it we had symptoms of the virus we would stay home and treat each other as best we could and die together.

  4. Lucifer-ase, programmable nano technology,, DARPA hydrogel, immunity passport, and modified RNA. Versus getting a form of a common cold. Sure all looks normal until they turn it on and hook you into the system. Common sense says no thanks!

  5. *From leading science journal Nature, Dec. 3:* “Do the vaccines prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2? … NONE has demonstrated that it prevents infection altogether, or reduces the spread of the virus in a population. This leaves open the chance that those who are vaccinated could remain susceptible to asymptomatic infection — and could transmit that infection to others who remain vulnerable.”
    *THE VACCINES OFFICIALLY DO NOT PREVENT INFECTION OR STOP THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.*

  6. We will be wearing ‘masks’ for some time still. Experts recommend N95 type respirator masks as PPE. They are tested to 95% filtration efficiency to 0.3 microns.
