Video Climate change is a money-grabbing hoax, and the Deputy Sec of Energy proves it.

Then you would be arguing with every chemist, chemical engineer, and medical researcher on the planet.

Every one? Not one disagrees?

That's the sam crap the Demoncraps used to silence people and actual scientists who questioned the covid vaccine anyone with covid questions.

Perhaps most or nearly all agree, but I am sure some dicagree with whatever we were talking about.

 

[NavyVette]

Growing up in Venezuela, they would have fumigation trucks go through the neighborhood fogging for mosquitos. My brother and I thought it was "cool fog" (never see actual fog in Venezuela) and would go out and run around in it! No shit. It's amazing we're alive today. We had no clue.

They still run trucks (more like four wheelers) fogging for mosquitoes in the small town 20 miles wfrom where I live now. We were never outside when they were doing it though.

Not on the ozone thing. None. Except the guy that smokes three packs a day and says he has the heart and lungs of an Olympic swimmer. Everybody knows that guy. And there’s a lot of them on the interwebs.

It’s funny how people get pissed off about a happy ending. What happened is what the experts said would happen. The hole (which was not really a hole) has almost disappeared in the time frame they estimated after regulating the use and release of those products.

It’s rare occasion when greedy corporations and incompetent politicians somehow manage to do the right thing. Thats cause for celebration.

Another thing we have in common. My friends and I rode our bikes behind the mosquito abatement fogger too. It was a Jeep belching a white cloud of DDT. Within a couple of days, there were dead birds everywhere.

All of a sudden the DDT fogging stopped. Because DDT was linked to cancer and neurological damage. And was killing wildlife. Now they spray other chemicals that kill the larvae. Mostly in ponds and swampy areas.

When I lived in MD, they were spraying malathion from helicopters to kill Gypsy moths. Read the label on that shit next time you are at Home Depot.

One of Bill Gates companies released millions of genetically modified mosquitos as a test. The idea being these males can’t successfully reproduce. Is there a downside to mosquitos shooting blanks? Nobody knows yet.

All to control malaria, for which there are already drugs to prevent it. It’s the jab and pills I never refused when i went to places where getting malaria is likely. Especially sub Saharan Africa. I spent three years in that part of the world.

 

[Bongo Lewi]

My wife's grandfather who was a commercial farmer, used to wash his hands in that dreaded DDT. He lived into his 80's before passing.

A sample of one is not statistically significant.

Some people have immunities no one understands. Ten other people do the same thing and die prematurely. The odds are not in your favor on chemical exposure. It’s the primary cause of cancers.

I knew a guy who got piss drunk every night and did a lot of drugs. He got up and went to work every day. Most can’t do that. People like Keith Richard are an anomaly.

I don't remember which one I took years ago for a trip. But I do remember it wreaked havoc on my belly as a side effect.

I don't remember which one I took years ago for a trip. But I do remember it wreaked havoc on my belly as a side effect.

A common cocktail is doxycycline or chloroquine, and something called RTS, which is a shot. The pills need to be taken before you arrive, while you are there and for a month after. The types of drugs change depending on where you go because there are different types of malaria in different parts of the world. Many of the most effective drugs used are not safe for pregnant women or children.

It's a parasite, not a virus or bacterial infection. It still kills a lot of people every year. More than just about any known disease. Mostly children. It's pretty rare in the US but it does happen. It's amazing to me Big Pharma hasn't figured out better ways to control or eliminate this disease.

I drank a lot of gin and tonic. For the quinine of course. . Doxycycline also upset my stomach at first.

We got Hydroxychloroquine on the Ranger and Enterprise.

The doctor on the Ranger thought my vision problems were caused by it and now that I look at the side effects 44 years later I wonder if they were!

Possible. Any chemical that gets inside you has some kind of side effect.

When my son was at Great Lakes in boot camp, one of the recruits died after getting vaccinated.

Thanks Bill but no thanks. I don't think they are shooting blanks. Mosquitos appeared here in the high desert about 3 years ago. Never had them the previous 20 years I have lived here. I can't sit outside in the summer without getting bit. I wonder if the bugs have been spread as a ready vector for the next man made pandemic.

Plaquenil Side Effects on Your Eyes and Vision

Like they say... Sometimes the cure is worse than the ill.

Fun fact
In 1982 on the Enterprise we were again told that we would need to take Hydroxychloroquine for our visit to Mombasa, Kanya again. Because of the optometrist on the Ranger telling me that my vision problems may have been caused by Hydroxychloroquine, I told the corpsman that I could not take it, and went back to work.

A few hours later a Senior Chief from my squadron stormed into my shop an asked the Chief if I worked there. The Chief said I did, so the Senior Chief said "He's on report and he gets no shore leave" for our port visit in the Philippines in a few days.

Senior Chief looked at me and asked "Are you him?" I confirmed that I was and he asked "Did you say the you would not take the Hydroxychloroquine?" I replied that I had said that I cannot take it, and explained why.

He asked me a few more times if I had said "I won't take it" and I finally got tired of answering the same question so I answered "Goddamnit, Chief, I sand I CANNOT take it"

He looked at the shop Chief, and said "Belay my last" then got me an appointment with the Optometrist on the Enterprise, which led to me being flown to the Philippines, then Yokosuka Japan, San Diego, and finally Letterman Army Medical Center on The Presidio of San Francisco for treatment and eventual discharge from the Navy.

Optometrist on a carrier??

Medical officers? Yes.
Physicians Assistant? Yes.
Corpsmen? Yep.
Nurse? Yes.
Nurse Anesthetist? Yes.

But not an optometrist. We certainly didn't have one (CV-62), and I never heard of one being deployed on a carrier.

“A sample of one is not statistically significant”

I’m not stating a fact trying to qualify it as a statistic, but a simple fact. Nor was it ever intended as one to promote a rebuttal to its bad reputation and eventual banning.

The point I was making was that primarily, DDT wasn’t taken seriously in his day, and he used to wash his hands in it….and that he lived into his 80’s. Shrugs.

Never saw a single mosquito in western WA, Puget Sound area. They need a number of consecutive days where the temp is above 80 in order to thrive. That almost never happens east of the Cascades. It's a good thing because it's so wet, they would be everywhere.

Mosquitos need two things to multiply. Warmth and stagnant water.

Eastern NC... they will literally eat you alive in the summer. They come out at dusk. Also biting deer flies. They are worse.

Sons of DDT. I heard they formed a band by the same name, but banjos aren't as popular as they were in the 70s.

Well, that explains why they misdiagnosed me. They acted like optomotrists, so I assumed they were. I wonder if fthe idiot n the P.I. who misdiagnosed me for the third time was an actual optomitrist or just another one playing at it. All of them misdiagnsed me with different eye conditions.

Luckily he found an Opthamologist in Japan and talked him into seeing me by metioning I had specifically ben sent from the Enterprise to see an Opthamoligist.

THe clown in Japan wanted the one in the P.I. to send me back to the ship saying he agreed with the diagnosis without even seeing me, but the guy in the P.I. stuck firm to the requires an Opthamoligist thing

An MD is an MD to the Navy. Any specialty is eligible to be deployed.

I dated a Navy OB/GYN back in the day. She was on standby to be deployed to what was essentially a MASH unit when things heated up in the Gulf. Why? OB/GYN is a surgical sub specialty to the Navy. She would have been working on gunshots and trauma from IEDs which was very different than C-sections and stitching up birth canal tears but all the same to the Navy.

 

[Racer88]

An MD is an MD to the Navy. Any specialty is eligible to be deployed.

An optometrist is not an MD. And in the military, they are MSC (Medical Service Corps) officers, not Medical Corps (MDs). There would be no need for an optometrist on a an aircraft carrier. We had 3 MDs, 2 RNs, 1 PA (also MSC). So, yes... anyone can be deployed. But it would be where they are needed / used. There would be virtually little use for an OD (Optometry Doctorate) on a ship. Anything ship's company would need (optometrically) would / could be taken care of (on shore) before they got underway.

Similarly, while there are podiatrists (also MSC) in the Navy, and they can be deployed overseas... they don't put them on ships.

 

[bkbrno]

I'm not the first to mix up ophthalmologist and optometrist and won't be the last. An ophthalmologist is an MD. The Navy has them and can deploy them if that's all that's available. Needs of the Navy thing.

The LSO's have accused pilots, on occasion, of needing to see an optometrist. It wouldn't hurt to have one on board. You would be shocked to learn the specialty of most Flight Surgeons. They rarely specialized in anything useful to crews. Thankfully, they get good training in flight related physiology.
