Good candidate for lab testing - indeed - better than using bats and pengolins, because humans can talk

I cannot imagine HOW they could allow someone to take 3 vaccines at the same time, that's crazy, I can already hear the voices in my head, some lab worker "wow this human would be great for our lab, we can certainly use her"

Nice topic title - when I read it I immediately thought "oh this is a Tasman1 topic, so I pretty much expected what I would read" but then in a fraction of a second later, I said "wait a minute, there is no - Tasman1 after the topic title, so it can't be him " but it's a catchy topic title indeed, makes you wanna click to find out more

New pneumonia vaccine……..one and done. Yeah right. Done until they come out with a new one.

Do you have to take that every year ??? Everything with the word "NEW" in it is scary - If you don't grow horns and/or turn green within 3-5 years then it's probably safe

New covid vaccine.

New my arse - It's just a 2 in 1 vaccine, which includes the ORIGINAL Wuhan strain + an outdated BA1 strain, SO you are getting protection against 2 outdated strains instead of 1 Currently the hot variant is BA5, so once again, this vaccine offers WEAK protection against INFECTION, but offers protection against severity and mortality, in other words just like the "old" vaccine did - BA5 is more infectious and evades the immune system even more so than previous strains so yeah - whether this bivalent "new" vaccine offers better protection against "severity" than older vaccine is debatable. It MAY offer better protection against future Omicron variants, BUT it will NOT protect against spread and against infections. It's impossible for vaccine makers to make a vaccine for the current variant, the only time this was possible is Wuhan strain - had vaccine acceptance been a thing, world wide and more than 75-80% got vaccinated, we would probably have entered herd immunity and not seen variants, now variants are coming faster than the window of time to make a vaccine, so we will always end up with an outdated vaccine.

Let's do the math - new variants = more evasion = bigger numbers of infections. Bigger number of infections means higher mortality, higher hospitalisation EVEN if the variants are less severe. It's all about numbers / volume. The only vaccine that protected 90%+ against INFECTION was the original one when no variants existed, now it's too late.
I've had 3 shots in 1 bloody year, that's enough for me, for 1 year, did not get the 4th or 5th booster - EVERYONE around me, 5 times boosted got COVID19, and I didn't, despite being exposed to 3 people with it. Not saying the vaccine is not good, it's still viable and offers great protection for severity and mortality, and this protection lasts, but for me personally 3 shots in 1 year is enough ........

Flu vaccine.

Yeah you don't wanna get COVID and the Flu at the same time - even though the Flu vaccine itself is way less effective (in % efficacy) than the COVID one in terms of protection against severity.

One shot in left arm and two shots in right.

Cool , richest women in history of planet to be saint

But maybe it is ok , I did read that in last 70 years she did sold all her diamonds [ Few Tons ] and gave it to poor , she saved millions from dying from hunger and she did eat only one meal a day and drank water only

So yes , I vote for her [ and Trump ] to be declared Saints ..... HURRY Pope , do it now ,

Cullinan Diamond , biggest diamond in the world owned by English Monarchy will be returned now to South Africa and will be given to poor South African people thanks to Saint Elizabeth

Trump a saint ? Maybe according to GTA culture Let's just say he gets the "job done", but he's not a Saint, it's just that at least when he lies, it's obvious, unlike other Presidents who are professionals in that area, and Trump keeps his promises, he does what he says - clearly the way he managed COVID19 crisis shows he is far from perfect, this virus cost him re-election, I doubt he will represent himself in 2024, even he is cautious, I am sure he wants to see the Republicans win in 2024 to dethrone this SHAM of an administration and abomination - with everything on his back right now he might realise the best chances for the GOP is through another candidate, probably one that has the same ways of thinking. As far as Her Majesty being a Saint, WELL cleverly managed to stay out of the spotlight and sticking to neutrality - and she did it well, BUT there is one issue (might not be safe to discuss on forum) but these are just allegations and hear say - I clearly do not think her son will be even a fraction as popular or follow on her footsteps, no way, he already made a fuss by cussing over a leaky pen and making a public scene - not something to make his mum proud - high respects to Her Majesty - but the current replacement, I think is full of himself, and there is a reason or reasons he is not as popular in the international scene, many reasons actually

That said, if you want someone to get the job done and get results, Trump's your guy, it comes at a cost, and raises the eye brows of the protocol abiding and politically correct - but some people want to progress and not just stagnate into status quo and piling of debt.

Yes, she was an institution by herself but also represented a colonial empire in vast decline. She was already Queen when the Beatles and Rolling Stones hadn`t even formed their bands yet.

WELL she had class, unlike our current PM pretending to represent a declining country - guns blazing and random shooting through gang scoring multiple times a day and an incompetent government refusing to do anything about it.
What a damn shame Canadians have short memories. In this country, it is the shooters and street gangs that run things, I don't bloody recognise my country/city anymore.

ahahaha anything with smooth and move I'd stay far away Yeah what you experienced is normal f or people sing Senna for the first few times, whilst your body gets used to it. When I used it the first time, I felt like I was being stabbed continually in my lower abdomen, but only the first time I used it, should have started gradually with smaller dose - I like me tea dark Mine was from Uncle Lee's Dieter Tea, I took that mainly for one reason, and not constipation - I used to have to wake up very early in the morning to go to work, had early schedules, and hated having to go several times to the bathroom before leaving home, with this product it helped me drop the canon ball in one go and spend less time on the toilet You know that canon ball on a string that swings around and used for demolition jobs, that's about it, BOOM in a smooth way of course.

and that large shredded wheat (a.k.a highly processed cereal) well, yeah anything with fibre basically. I don't have constipation fortunately, because I eat a balanced meal, but some people have chronic constipation for some reason no matter what, maybe their colon absorbs water too fast or something, so these people need laxatives or bulking ones which are safer long term, as you don't wanna add extra fibre in your diet if you have chronic constipation unresolved by dietary change

Right, and truly deserved too - I hope the sequel won't be a flop like most sequels are Squid Games was normally meant to be a one off, they even planned it that way, the bar was already raised really high, they will really REALLY have to raise it even higher for sequel, that's going to be hard though. Maybe they are going to lose viewers because of the death of one of the main character and instigators of the whole thing - this MF is gonna be hard to beat - I can't wait it better be good - Unlike how network TV works, Netflix only keeps shows it knows will attract NEW subscribers, they don't care much about ratings - and Squid Games was one of the most popular and most watched on Netflix during pandemic, let's see how 2 does, Netflix is a crumbling sand castle, they sure need some subscribers and fast Netflix lost 60% of its value since the beginning of the year alone - I'd sure hate to be in shareholders' shoes

Yeah try to tell that to the vaccine makers who have hidden important data about the TRUE numbers of adverse reactions and events post vaccination

For those who might not be aware what Ranitidine is, it is sold under the brand Zantac, Pepsid AC, etc.

It's amazing people have to resort to consuming that shit for stomach upsets, instead of going at the root of the problem. Here on this part of the world you can see people eating for 4 and chugging their bottle of Pepto, it's made into a meme Sure why prevent and fix the problem when you can have band-aid solutions to mask the problem. We live in a society of do whatever and worry later.

Wow for politicians that would be a monstrous waste of natural resources - yes Senna is natural, but just because something is natural does not mean it's good for you - Senna is not meant to be used long term, only bulking based laxatives are safe to use long term, the others "damage" the colon, and might even increase colon cancer risks.
Politicians are mostly corrupt lot of crooks, they always manage to say what people want to hear and get voted into power - the only way people can send a clear message is collectively NOT vote, meaning 100% - politicians need to stop bullshitting and making promises they can't keep - politicians mainly serve their own interests anyways, it's always been like that - gain political capital - then in worst case scenarios once they f*** off or lose, they end up with parting gifts, bonuses and a generous LIFETIME pension that can support several families - which politician can make a bloody difference, they get my 2 middle fingers, here in Canada we do not have much choice, be it Liberals or Conservatives, same shite - but now we are stuck with Liberals - the party that has plunged Canada in a colossal debt.

Senna ? my wife use it all the time, I did try only once , never again , sticky shit , takes whole roll to wipe my ass

Buy yourself a bidet She better not be taking Senna every day, it's not meant to be taken long term, no more than a week at a time, any more and the bowels get lazy and lose some of their natural function - when you stop those habit forming laxatives, you get a lot of problems, Senna is not meant for long term, continual use. She should use Metamucil instead ........

What I liked with Senna is that when you needed to take a dump, it came all out at once, with bulk forming ones, you might need to take several rounds before you are done for the day. With Senna, it's like all that stuff comes right out in one go like a bloody cannonball

valerie wrote: I’ve taken senna and drank senna tea. It’s the pits and rhymes with the sh…..

How much of it did you drink ? I like the Chinese version, Uncle Lee's Dieter Tea I used to drink that after each meal for some years, I drink it clear no sugar, like I usually drink tea and coffee But then I discovered Metamucil, much safer and can be used long term. With Senna you have to be careful not to take it more than 7 days consecutively, unlike bulk forming laxatives like Metamucil, and others the like, Senna can be damaging for long term use.

The main reason that got me to use Senna were in the years I wanted to lose weight and fell for the marketing bullshit - was introduced to Uncle Lee products, and was sent a crap ton of samples, 6 months samples of all their boxes of different flavours, in those gullible years when I believed a lot of things - and shame on me because I studied biology, I should have known better - there is a fine distinction between WATER weight and actual FAT loss, which is a long process and will not happen overnight - it's amazing how much shit can carry so much weight - what is it as much as 20-25 pounds ? SO yeah if you are cleansing your colon with a harsh laxative, then sure you are gonna lose weight, with the laxative you will wonder where all that stuff came from It's like the gullible that go on Keto or other low carb diets and they are so happy they lose 15 pounds their first week - SURE you lost 15 pounds - but WATER weight, since carbs bind to water, and when you burn through your glycogen, you get rid of the water that was bound to it. The weight loss industry makes billions of $ out of ill informed people.

Also there are rumours that you get more than what you bargained for with this product from China - like Pesticides, as they do not have the same regulations we do here on this part of the pond.

But the packets of Uncle Lee are more convenient on travel, than the Metamucil

Squid Games actor won a Grammy last night.

Which one, I did not watch. I do hope the creator and actors all get rewards, they deserve it, the only nonsense, bad scene in Squid Games that was probably just there as a filler was when all the "executives" came to watch the final game, and one of them (guy) tried to rape one of the organisers, I mean they could have done without that scene, it had NOTHING to do with the story and served no purpose, it's almost like the writer had a few minutes left gap and ran out of ideas and wanted to fill that time with some crap Lovely twist at the end I never even saw it coming or suspected it, but I'm kinda disappointed in the ending (A LOT actually) because I wanted that character to live and be in the 2nd version too

Oh yeah the real estate market bubble is going to pop - in some parts of Canada, housing prices are expected to drop by 25% - it is those greedy, cunning, lying real estate agents that caused prices to be so high like that - now people might think that an over valued market is good - sure good for sellers, BUT selling a house at a considerably higher cost comes with huge risk unless you sell to an IDIOT who does not know the law and accepts to buy your home "as-is" without a legal warranty (idiot ) BUT even at 25% drop in prices in 2023, housing prices here are criminal - you need to be a drug lord, lottery winner, or someone really lucky in order to buy one - OR if you fancy a 40-60 year mortgage and paying $2k-$4k a month for life

Once upon a time you could buy a very decent and large house, 3 stories, for $90k !!! Around here even condos are more expensive than houses, I call them jail cells or cardboard boxes, < 800 sqft and prices STARTING at $300k for 1 bedroom, most condos sell for $400k (the trashiest) and upwards to $500k-$700k, and that does not even include garage space, taxes, and the monthly "fees" which can range anywhere from $300-$800. Oh yeah in some states like New York, some people pay $3k-$4k in "fees" per month for their co-op - What a rip-off, imagine investing all that money and building a nest egg for yourself and your heirs and their families too
