"The study found: Those who received metformin [A diabetes drug] were more than 40% less likely to develop long COVID than those who received an identical looking placebo. For participants who started metformin less than four days after their COVID symptoms started, metformin decreased the risk of long COVID by 63%"
That link doesn't disprove his study. It says it wasn't peer reviewed. And then they got another opinion that said if the DNA was there is wouldn't be problematic. Based on the evidence I've seen with these vaccines, I lean towards the vaccines being full of shít.

The obvious solution is to have the study reviewed by peers.
I remember a non peer reviewed study that published early which claimed that infant vaccines increased likelihood of autism, which was A) patently false (there was correlation but not causation) and B ) led to the entire antivax conspiracy theory which resulted in outbreaks of various "cured" ailments like German measles, etc.
If you're publishing before peer review, you might as well publish in the national enquirer.

Even the phrase “Covid restrictions” – a term used by almost every media outlet – is loaded, suggesting low-key mitigations are heavy burdens rather than simple ways to free clinically vulnerable people. That the virus primarily “only” affects those with underlying health conditions has always been the unspoken excuse for indifference.
I specialize in fear, let me tell you... but fear is almost always the wrong response... sometimes fear is great, but too often (for me, at least) it leads to irrational decisions and anxiety. The outcome of a threat is typically unknown, which is why we plot a strategy to maneuver our way safely past the threat, and most fears assume the outcome of the threat is negative/harmful/fatal. We fear the unknown outcome which can make the outcome worse. There is a balance in sanity, to do what is reasonable and deal with the results, without fear.

Well, this is interesting, willow bark has been used for many centuries before Bayer came up with aspirin; now it has been determined that willow bark extract has anti-viral properties that its separate chemical components do not have.:
Willow (Salix spp.) bark hot water extracts inhibit both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses: study on its anti-coronavirus and anti-enterovirus activities
"This indicated that the amount of viral RNA was reduced significantly when it was treated with the willow bark extract. Cq values were also used to calculate the logarithmic reduction in the virus infectivity (Table 3). Based on these calculations, bark extracts caused a 6-log reduction in the viral RNA, which means a very high antiviral effect."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prepared to alert state and local officials to an emerging connection between heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines, but ultimately did not send the alert, according to a new document obtained by The Epoch Times.
All four COVID-19 vaccines that are or have been available in the United States can cause the heart inflammation, or myocarditis, according to studies, experts, and agencies like the CDC. The first cases were reported shortly after the vaccines became available in late 2020.
The CDC sends alerts to federal, state, and local public health officials and doctors across the nation through a system called the Health Alert Network (HAN). Messaging through the system conveys “vital health information,” according to the CDC.
In May 2021, CDC officials drafted an alert on myocarditis and the two most widely used COVID-19 shots, according to the newly obtained document, which is being made public for the first time by The Epoch Times.
“This is the most recent draft of an alert as discussed. Happy to discuss,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, the CDC’s top official for equity in COVID-19 data and engagement, told two other high-ranking CDC colleagues in the email.
It was titled “draft alert on myocarditis and mRNA vaccines.”
Be careful with the Epoch Times reporting, a hyperbole filter is advised. There are a ton of studies about the incidence of myocarditis following both covid infection and covid vax. I have a dog in this fight since developing polymyalgia triggered, in my opinion, from immune dysregulation following flu and pfizer vaxes. However the incidence of myocarditis and periocarditis is far greater from infection and long covid than from the vax.

Oh, but the vaccine is safe, they said. You're putting yourself and everyone else at risk, they said. Bullshite.

I probably shouldn't post that, probably some kid with a fancy computer. Not peer reviewed.
I was just throwing gas on the 🔥. I am so over coronavirus and vaccines. I'm bracing for the next bioweapon.
Fear is a powerful weapon.

Don't worry, Edward. I'm sure our government is working closely with China to produce a new, more deadly version to release.
