In Topics: Humor Healthcare Stupidity Kung Flu Stupidity
This story from ZeroHedge is pretty funny... not really "haha" funny, cause a guy got really sick and went to the hospital, but ... I'm sorry, hahahaaaas! You'll see. Here's the headline/link: Giga-Vaxxed Fauci Somehow Contracts Ultra-Rare West Nile Virus On Heels Of COVID-19 Infection.
Alright, Tyler Durden*, you tend to exaggerate sometimes. "Giga" means a billion. Kung Flu health guru Anthony Fauci had only been sextuply boosted, you know, plus the regular vax jabs, of course. (But, of course.) He has contracted the Kung Flu 3 times, proving that this virus can... well, we need to update wikipedia and change the definition of "vaccine", first of all.
Lately, though, ex Covid Tsar** Fauci has had a real run of bad luck. He contracted the West Nile Virus and was hospitalized for nearly a week. His is 1 out of 216 cases in the US so far this year. What are the odds that this virus would infect a guy with his virology background and expertise?!.
According to the report, Fauci has no idea how he got West Nile - a mosquito-borne illness that can cause fever, body aches, diarrhea and rash - and for which there is no vaccine or treatment.No freaking idea... could it be mosquitoes along with a half century of un-controlled immigration bringing in bedbugs, smaller bugs, and all sorts of nasty germs that had been wiped out by the advanced 1st World, when it was still such? Some people are in de Nile about this, trying to wash off more germs than they are taking on... and bringing in.
Would it matter if there were a vaccine? Could Fauci himself, after all, he's America's Doctor, have developed a West Nile treatment plan for himself and us all, with his great expertise as demonstrated 4 years back during that Great Pandemic? Regarding that late unpleasantness, Tyler Durden nicely and concisely summed up Mr. Fauci's "role" if I may, in it with his first phrase here:
Former NAIAD Director Anthony Fauci - who outsourced risky COVID gain-of-function research to a shoddy Chinese lab, and was then put in charge of handling a COVID pandemic that broke out down the street from said lab -BTW, I know he's heavily invested via time in his "America did it!" theory, but without anything but speculation, can Ron Unz not see Occam's Razor here? What happened was well publicized and follows common sense very well. The HANDLING of this disease and massive effort to take advantage of it by Totalitarians around the world is the real story.
Anyway, Peak Stupidity has a lot more concern about mosquitoes, bearing gifts from the cradle of civilization or not, than we do the Kung Flu virus. We'd have said the same by mid-March of '20. I HATE, HATE, HATE mosquitoes and really wonder why they'd been put on God's green earth. We at Peak Stupidity headquarters have even rescinded our Sanctuary Yard policy. Back 25 years ago, the local government had a spray program, with trucks coming around once or twice a month in the summer. The spray may have had some DDT in it. I don't care - it worked! Bring back the DC-3s!!
As expected, the ZH comments were a hoot. This one guy has an avatar that's the Monopoly™ guy with the top hat. I wonder if he (no, not the Monopoly guy) was commenting back when I used to read through all the ZH posts and comments back in '11...
itstippyAlso, from the same guy:
1 day ago. (Edited)
He took his mask off for three minutes to brush his teeth, and BAM! West Nile Virus, Zika, Covid, Monkey Pox, Bird Flu, Ebola, Emerald Ash Borer, Peanut Allergy, Erectile Dysfunction, The Heartbreak Of Psori...
He should ask his Doctor if Hydroxychloroquine is right for him.iSteve commenters may find these ones a little immature, but I see it as a good thing. OK, one more:
Immortal Mountain Wizard Assoc:In descending order, I fear most mosquitos, then Fauci (cause he's 83 and gets sick a lot), and then the oft-dreaded Covid-one-niner dead last.
1 day ago
I wish him a very speedy recovery. One should always feel their best before being strung up from a lamp post.
* The ZeroHedge posts that are not taken from other sources are attributed to one Tyler Durden (some say there are more than one), the character in one of Peak Stupidity's least favorite movies. See Movie Review - "Fight Club" still sucks.
** I had no idea we still had American Czars until Kamelion and her implausibly-denied Border Czar position, and now I learn that Fauci had been a Czar too. Do they still shoot

PS I had Covid early in 2020. Being 79 at the time and having already lost 40% of both lungs to smoking damage, it should have killed me, but I never even went to the hospital. I have never had it since and, not being an idiot, have never had a vaccine. My neighbor has been vaccinated seven or more times and has been down with Covid six times, hospitalized twice. He still tells me I am "playing with fire" by not getting vaccinated.

PS
Assuming the relevant quotes are accurate, the different between 72% and 80% is likely in the denominator. They probably know the number of people vaccinated with some accuracy, so it depends on which total population number they've used.
Among other things, just how many illegal aliens are included in that number? Those are hard to count, since people in the US illegally tend to be reluctant to talk to census takers.
Although that really depends on what mechanism they're using - counting the number of EBT cards used in a county is likely accurate (unless there's a lot of fraudulent cards out there?)

PS: Mr. Hail, I know this is a dumb question, but how is a geographical adjective meaning to the West side of some river racist in any way? I understand the monkey pox name was considered either anti-monkey or anti-homo or something. M-pox is what we should be calling it. Do the monkeys even care?
Hello, Old Soldier. While I totally agree, I ask, where were you when Peak Stupidity's every other post was written along the same lines? We milked this BS for clicks for about 2 years. Thankfully, when it was tailing off in early '22 the Chinese came through for us with a round of massive stupidity - we got videos of cats, chickens, and trucks being swabbed, and more sad than humorous, Chinamen locked in apartment complexes and so on...
Thanks for the comments, all.

PS: meant "*any* Ivermectin".
Hello, Alarmist. I remember writing this post: "USA Today PanicFest Infotainment - Vax Version"
https://www.peakstupidity.com/index.php?post=2493
in which "USA Today" gives a number of 80% of American having taken at least one COVID shot. It couldn't have gone down... unless those 8% have all died off... from the vax, haha... while all others since have said NFW! Nah, but I wonder about the difference. So, most of us here are either in the 20% or the 28%.
That's too bad that Tony there didn't spend the effort to analyze that IgG4 mechanism you wrote about here. Live and learn... or don't... either.

PS: I can't remember if I took and Ivermectin myself, Adam, which would have been something my wife gave us as preventative medicine. We did take some of the HCQ on occasion. I personally could have taken it or left it, but the wife was still a bit frantic, albeit in a different way, by that time. She no longer believed in the system and the BS out of Government and media by the end of summer '20 or at least early fall.

PS
I worked with Coronaviruses for decades. DECADES. I was forced, in the military, to take the flu shot every year and almost always got the flu...learned my lesson from that. I'm NEVER COVID VACCINATED, let alone boosted...and NEVER INFECTED with Covid. And I do NOT REGRET not taking the vaccine at all. The Coronavirus was never anything more than a summer cold until the US Government started monkeying around with it...and, like everything else they monkey around with, boy did they ever screw it up! And West Nile Virus, it goes around every summer, bar none, kills a few horses and an infects an occasional person, then retreats for the winter, and 99% of people, much like with Covid, escape unharmed. Many people were hurt or killed by the vaccines, yet the totally unvaccinated Amish don't get wiped out by the latest pandemic viruses while they worked outside all day. I'm figuring that I lived through the "most deadly pandemic of my lifetime" without any effects, that speaks VOLUMES. And when I heard nutjob leftists say "the unvaccinated were a threat to the vaccinated", that was the funniest thing that I heard in all of 2021...it's still funny, and that, alone, speaks VOLUMES. And when the CDC changed the old definition of a vaccine about September, 2021, to its current definition, that spoke VOLUMES AND VOLUMES to me. Let me know when the pandemic, or whichever OMG virus they're counting on to scare me this week, is serious enough for them to close the Southern Border, then I'll listen. Until then, find something else to try to scare, cause I ain't scared. BTW, I'm much more concerned about Chagas Disease than Zika, Covid, Monkeypox, Ebola, West Nile, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Bird Flu, etc, etc combined, because Reduviid Bugs are common in the US.

PS
Wasn't the name "West Nile Virus" banned because of racist connotations?
I thought it was one of the names of things banned in 2020.

No doubt this is a thing that another “Fauci Ouchie” can’t handle.
Sounds like the good old doc has IgG4 issues:
from NIH...
“To date, 72.3% of the total population has been injected at least once with a COVID-19 vaccine. As the immunity provided by these vaccines rapidly wanes, their ability to prevent hospitalization and severe disease in individuals with comorbidities has recently been questioned, and increasing evidence has shown that, as with many other vaccines, they do not produce sterilizing immunity, allowing people to suffer frequent re-infections. Additionally, recent investigations have found abnormally high levels of IgG4 in people who were administered two or more injections of the mRNA vaccines. HIV, Malaria, and Pertussis vaccines have also been reported to induce higher-than-normal IgG4 synthesis....
... emerging evidence suggests that the reported increase in IgG4 levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines may not be a protective mechanism; rather, it constitutes an immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses.”
