We need to study more about the immune system and get stronger by ourselves. Heal thyself. Study wellness.

We need to study more about the immune system and get stronger by ourselves. Heal thyself. Study wellness.

Yes! That is by far the best thing anyone can do to increase your chance of surviving this pandemic.

If one is truly healthy, they can easily withstand Covid19 infection and produce a robust, broad, long lasting immunity against the virus.

In contrast, a bolus dose of the current mRNA "vaccines", while temporarily providing some IgG antibodies that reduce symptoms, they also throw a monkey wrench into the overall immune system.

That is part of why we have much better vaccines right now, and we are closer to getting new ones as well (for parasites or HIV for example)

Yes! That is by far the best thing anyone can do to increase your chance of surviving this pandemic.

The experts make very different points, based on social measures to avoid contagion and letting hospitals treat properly those that require it, for which vaccination is a terribly helpul toold.

"truly healthy" do not guarantee you will survive COVID, even young and healthy people benefit from the vaccines.

In contrast, a bolus dose of the current mRNA "vaccines", while temporarily providing some IgG antibodies that reduce symptoms, they also throw a monkey wrench into the overall immune system.

Imaginary arguments are not valid, the vaccines have no demonstrated negative effect on immunity, COVID on the other hand is an infection from a virus that produces proteins specifically to mess up the immune system.

We found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus carries a suppressive gene that acts to inhibit a human gene in the immune system that is essential for destroying infected cells

Please stop hiding behind your nebulous "experts" to project authority. As you know (or should know) there are experts on different sides of the issue, for example the 15,000 doctors and scientists that signed the Rome Declaration are not all as sure as you are that the corporate media narrative about the mRNA mass vaccination for everyone is such a great thing.

Sorry if you don't like it but they experts of the world do have valid authority thanks to the evidence they present together with their conclusions. There is nothing wrong with saying they are much more likely to be correct in the matters of their expertise than nameless people on the internet. Referring to their authority is precisely the role they have.

If only one side is presenting the evidence that means the other one can be safely discarded as just baseless, their opinion are only their own and they have no higher chance of being right than laymen, and precisely because they are working in a field that depends completely on science it can be said they represent people that can't do their work professionally because they flaunt a disdain for science, which completely disqualifies them.

Again, you may not like the scientific consensus but unless you can provide at least some institututions that support your beliefs then the only option is to accept the consensus is against them.

The Omicron variant may serve as a so-called "attenuated" vaccine to bring us to herd immunity through natural infection with a relatively mild infection. Think about it.

It very much looks like that, and plenty of experts in the world have been saying exactly that. Lets hope they are right.

orry if you don't like it but they experts of the world do have valid authority thanks to the evidence they present together with their conclusions. 

There are no unified "experts of the world". For example, the members of the global covid summit are all experts in the field and disagree with the media/institutional narrative:

Of course there are, this can be easily proved as how you have been completley unable to provide any institution of science or medicine that could support the views that you would like to be true, only a collection of people that offer no new evidence and insist on claims well debunked by the best available science.

It should put anybody to think how is it that no university, big hospital, research institute of the whole world support what you want to believe. It is obviously not realistic to expect people to believe all these well respected institutions are all in some supposed conspiracy.

Any "medical" group that chooses to use as a symbol the caduceus from Hermes, the god of commerce and thieves instead of the rod of Asclepius is just making too obvious what are their real intentions.
