My nutritionist said something about statins causing heart failure and may not be that great for you.

I’m still on the fence about that. Continue reading →

This is an important event that happened leading up to Covid: NIH Lifts Funding Pause on Gain-of-Function Research.

I’m not sure how involved the Trump Administration was in terms of giving the O.K. on this or not. A few years ago, I had heard something to the effect that Trump gave the O.K. for this (basically, to undo an Obama action). A lot of people that grill Fauci always go straight to the gain-of-function issue. It’s worth noting the timeframe on this one.

For the record, I’m not a huge fan of either Obama or Trump. It’s actually kind of nice to live outside the red and blue divide. I think it allows you to think a bit more clearly.

UPDATE: Jan 25, 2024

I watched a Breaking Points segment featuring Emily Kopp talking about the origins of COVID. On the show, journalist Ryan Grim had this to say:

"We're talking about a pandemic that killed 25MM ppl…The evidence points to a small group of people, breaking rules, because the Obama admin had put in place restrictions around this type of research, that they went around in order to do this"- @ryangrim https://t.co/MqHgawmdJc

My wife and I got some sort of cold in March 2020. She thinks we got COVID. I’m not quite sure. The first documented case of COVID in the U.S. was from a person from our city.

I had a lingering cold for about three weeks. I don’t remember being knocked out by it. I did have a tiny fever a couple nights.

I never experienced shortness of breath from I remember. Whatever it was, it was pretty mild.

In June of 2021 I got a shot of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I never took another COVID vaccine since. I did get a flu shot last year.

My wife took Moderna and got a couple boosters since her initial doses.

Both of us haven’t caught COVID or tested positive for COVID since the vaccines came out.

The one thing I did do was I wore 3M N-95 masks religiously.

I always wear my mask when I go shopping, go to coffee shops, or go inside a building that is not my house. I do not eat inside restaurants. I will eat outside.

I don’t go inside my friend’s homes without a mask on.

My wife follows similar protocols. The only difference is she doesn’t wear the 3M N95 mask. She’ll wear a surgical mask or a KN-95 mask.

My kids still wear masks at school.

I just wanted to document this. It’s 2023 and no bad cases of COVID have hit our household yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.
