I have strengthened my immune system since the start of the Plannedemic, however, My job will fire me if I don&amp;#39;t take it. I have never had it despite my constant exposer so I&amp;#39;m doing something right. I know you can advise how to make the vaccine leave my body with as little damage as possible. I&amp;#39;m 52 but very active, My blood work is awesome (no inflammation, A1c great, etc) I have increased my Ketones and plan to IM Fast longer on my Keto/ Carnivore Diet but believe I can do more. I will start taking your MCT oil to increase my ketones as well. I already take your Zinc, Vit D, Magnesium, Lion&amp;#39;s mane, Potassium, Probiotics, Krill, &amp;nbsp;to thin my blood for the J&amp;amp;J, Quercetin, Catalyn, Serrapeptase, Omega 3, and a few others. We believe in what you&amp;#39;re saying Mercola. &amp;nbsp;You were right about GMOs, etc ...Thanks for being strong.&lt;/p&gt;

So unless you have the original/wild variant that plagued us up until the UK/Brazil etc variants arrived this past spring, do not even do the testing because it will show negative/no antibodies when in fact, if you had C-19 when the variants started arriving, you likely do have them, but the test will read negative because it’s not sensitive or picking up the type you had nor the correlating antibodies....And then of course that drives some to say ohh shoot, no antibodies? I better go get the Jab then 😭 😡&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; The good news though is there are scientists now working on antibody testing that will identify the strains and therefore be accurate!! Otherwise, again, the current tests are worthless if you had any of the strains since the original/wild. Here’s the info : &lt;/p&gt;

Well, you need first to prove this is a &amp;quot;pandemic&amp;quot;. Scientifically I mean. And science has been thrown out of the window a long time ago it seems. &amp;nbsp;Plus this is about the same argument as &amp;quot;zero covid&amp;#39;... Only it is &amp;quot;10% covid&amp;quot;... If you claim &amp;quot;90% herd immunity&amp;quot; is necessary... for what exactly? BS then. Why not &amp;quot;ending&amp;quot; flu, common cold etc. ?&lt;/p&gt;

This overwhelming fear of loss can cause investors to behave irrationally and make bad decisions, such as holding onto a stock for too long or too little time.&amp;quot; The government paid a lot of money for the vaccine. Anything that creates less need for the vaccine exposes misspent tax dollars, and as a result, the government experiences &amp;quot;loss aversion&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

I mean just as the PCR testing has proven and was intended to skew the casedemic #&amp;#39;s, why wouldn&amp;#39;t the same corrupt individuals create and antibody test which would have to be used and gave results they wish to see. Just sayin....&lt;/p&gt;

But they, as Dem0cRATs always do, opted for the totalitarian approach of threats and harassment..&lt;/p&gt;
