Vaxxxes are not safe and not effective. *Ow* Trouble in paradise? There are some serious doubts about the safety of Merck's covid pills. ---- According to Barron's, some scientists who have studied the drug believe that its method of suppressing the virus could potentially run amok within the body. Some scientists who have studied the drug warn, however, that the method it uses to kill the virus that causes Covid-19 carries potential dangers that could limit the drug’s usefulness. Molnupiravir works by incorporating itself into the genetic material of the virus, and then causing a huge number of mutations as the virus replicates, effectively killing it. In some lab tests, the drug has also shown the ability to integrate into the genetic material of mammalian cells, causing mutations as those cells replicate. If that were to happen in the cells of a patient being treated with molnupiravir, it could theoretically lead to cancer or birth defects. --- Perhaps even permanent DNA damage? :wacko: --- Dr. Shuntai Zhou, a scientist at the Swanstrom Lab at UNC, said "there is a concern that this will cause long-term mutation effects, even cancer." Zhou says that he is certain that the drug will integrate itself into the DNA of mammalian hosts. "Biochemistry won’t lie," he says. "This drug will be incorporated in the DNA." Merck hasn't yet released any data from its animal studies, but the scientists believe that it would take long-term studies to show that the drug is truly totally safe. Singapore has flattened the curve.

My previous dentist has to mention root canals on every appointment. If I mention even the slightest discomfort, he ends up discussing root canals. I should have looked for another doctor long time ago but I can't really tell if the next dentist is going to be better. I stuck to my previous dentist but I hated going to see him. I kept postponing appointments and ended up seeing him once every 2 - 3 years and usually after ending up with a dental emergency. I think the last time I saw him was 2016. I remember because, unfortunately, my pastor died that year. I found out before my appointment so I went there feeling very upset. I was filling out the health questionnaire at the new dentist. Question: how often do you see a dentist: once every six months, once a year, other. ...... Hmm..... I was embarrassed about selecting "other" and mentioning 2 - 3 times a year so I selected once a year. Question: when was the last time you have seen a dentist. Hmm..........I started thinking: have I seen a dentist since 2016? I don't remember. Oh well, I thought 2016 sounds really embarrassing so I answered: a couple of years ago. On my way back home I thought: Goodness, what I put on the questionnaire didn't sound right. How often do you go to the dentist: once a year When was the last time you have been to the dentist: a couple of years ago. :wacko: Maybe we should start a new thread: funny doctor's appointments. Singapore flattened the curve but along the wrong axis! that was hilarious. (it shouldn't be)
