Dad is 84 Today. Also, Dad Got Covid
Here’s what he texted yesterday.
I tested positive for COVID today. But all’s fine. Fever of 102.5° yesterday, worked 8 hours today.
He’s highly sought after for the biggest building and construction projects on the planet for his unique skills in finishes. It’s not just painting. It’s all finishes—from operating rooms in hospitals, to the unique coatings required in sewage treatment plants, to all the pipes in a parking garage…and all that’s in-between.
His highest skill? He never fucks up. Rather, he laughs at how other estimators fuck up.
I reply.
You’ll be fine.
Can’t wait until we get back to the days where it’s “oh, I’ve got a cold.”
You might want to run out and get one of those oxygen monitors like Dr. Mike Eades talked about. They’re about $20. I got one for $5 here.
How’s mom?
Him.
I’ve got one. My Bo was at 85 yesterday, normal today. It’s amazing how fast my body shrugged it off. But I have no idea when I was exposed to it. Probably when all of Dawn’s family was here for a late Christmas celebration. Most of them tested pos. Your mom is fine. She was exposed at the same time as me.
But, who knows what’s going on. I can’t believe that I wouldn’t have tested pos before. Seems I’m pretty much immune to this COVID.
Me.
Yea, 85 is about lower limit. But you kicked its ass. Great. And just in time for your birthday.
“Yesss!”
“…So your Christmas dinner was A SUPERSPREADER EVENT!!!“
“Well, it’s one possibility.”
…In typical fashion, I take up another text thread with someone, and after some back-&-forth about all of it, I couldn’t resist.
I say to people all the time that if COVID can kill you, good. Nature kills the weak and worthless. Darwin.
Eventually, we all become weak and worthless and it’s good that nature kills us.
That does two god things. It ends the suffering of the weak and worthless, and relieves the burden of those who take care of them.
“Ok. That’s definitely a way to look at it.”
That has always been the way. But the whole world are pathetic whining children, now.
“OK”
So, OK, I checked in this [my 15-hrs ahead] morning with dad—Lothar “Lute” Nikoley—and he tells me everyone is fine. All seem to be recovering from their winter colds.
…OK, this just came in via email.
Tell me what the relationship is between negative efficacy and immune enhancement (Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) )? Are they the same? Similar? Or do we have 2 processes in play?
I was trying to find out if the mrna vaccines killed the animals in their trial tests — very difficult to search through the bullshit government propaganda that says “no animals died”.
Whose the guy you go to for this type of stuff?
My reply.
Can’t tell you one guy but currently, go-tos are:
Dr. Michael Eades
Dr. Robert Malone
Dr. Peter McCullough
Dr. Peter Breggin
Alex Berenson
Reiner Fuellmich
Chris Masterjohn
Steve KirschThey are all on Telegram, which is great. There’s a desktop version and so you don’t even need a device and in fact, I rarely look at it on my phone. 99% desktop.
In terms of ADE, negative efficiency and the vaxxes, to me, it seems to be mild on the surface and that the newest variant spit out that’s way more transmissible but less virulent is right in line with expectations so hopefully, Luc Montagnier’s prediction of millions of body bags is overstatement. Spidey sense is that it is more generally damaging to the immune system, which is basically sub-clinical AIDS or something akin.
We’ll see.
An hilarious note on basic too stupid and intransigence. You’d think it’s a false flag op, but it’s not.

Happy birthday to your dad. He rocks!
Thanks so much. My latest report is: everything is going fine, feeling great and hope that tomorrow Jan. 21, US I will test negative because we have a birthday dinner scheduled, which I don’t want to cancel.
Just put up a party at your own risk sign.
Ginger ‘Peter’ Gorman deserves another booster. Sad example of how silly some of my fellow Australians have become.
Two stories: (1) My unvaxxed 58 year old girlfriend died on Nov 30 on Day 13 of Covid. She tested positive on day 3. For inexplicable reasons, she never took the Ivermectin, HCQ, Z-Pak etc I had prearranged for her. Her fever topped around 103.7 and oxygen dropped to 70 around day 7. Then finally on day 10, she started Ivermectin but it was too late and she died suddenly alone in her apartment on day 13 after her oxygen had gone back to 91. By the time she started the Ivermectin, the damage had been done. I remain unvaxxed at age 70 and will continue unvaxxed.
Story (2): Tonight my 58 year old triple vaxxed true believing Covidian sister died suddenly in her home after coughing up blood two weeks ago and being diagnosed with massive clots in her spleen, about a month or two after her third clot shot. They removed her spleen, but the clots continued and tonight she died alone while her boyfriend was at the store for 45 minutes.
Conclusions: For most people, Covid is nothing, but if you do get a bad case of it, hit it fast and hard with everything you have and if oxygen drops below 80, throw a fit and do whatever. And if you do decide to get vaxxed, especially with the third shot, watch out.
I have six siblings and all six of them loved the vaccines and couldn’t wait to get them. I was the only holdout and am considered the crazy uncle in the family. At our family reunion last September, I looked at my six vaccinated siblings and wondered if/when one or more of them would be taken out. I didn’t have to wail long. Little sister died tonight just four months later. So the vax took 1 out of 6 so far in a matter of months.
I took the J&J single vaccination but won’t take any more.
From what I can tell, older people seem to tolerate the vaccines a bit better than the younger ones. Hence the vaccine seemed to hit my 58 year old sister and not the older ones. And the vaccine, since you survived it, might have lessened your symptoms, but I agree about no booster, especially now that you have natural immunity. You are good to go now. Enviable situation.
That’s a lot of carnage. I’m sorry to hear it.
On balance, I’m still with you. No vaxx for me. I’m pretty sure I had it early on, just a week after getting here via China, before anyone knew much or there was any testing. Symptoms match and a couple of months later I got a PCR that was negative and a month after that when available, I got an antibody test that was positive.
It’s one weird thing. Not nothing for sure. For some, seemingly deadly and for others, a cold/flu sort of thing.
Sorry about your losses, Alan.
I caught something last week of December, which seemed like a very mild cold. Symptoms we’re mild, came & went quickly. Two weeks later I caught another cold. Symptoms were extremely mild, came & went even quicker than last. Just kicked it 2 days ago.
I’ve never caught two colds back to back like this in my life time. It was rare if I caught 2 in the winter season at all. Im guessing one of them was the china virus. idk. I am curious if I have the antibodies
I used to get colds that lasted 6 weeks, every four months. I’ve been taking D3 + K2 + Zinc for a couple decades now, and if I *do* get a cold it tends to go away after a few days. Meanwhile, I had some kind of novel (to me) upper respiratory infection last year for over a month. Finally kicked it, but have no idea if it was Covid or not, as I’ve only been tested once and haven’t checked for antibodies.
This would be a good time for the world to learn about the difference between fitness, health, and immune strength, but instead we’ve got fat fools demanding that their doctors ignore obesity.
Do the mRNA shots wear off eventually or are they forever lasting- do your cells produce spike proteins indefinitely after the second dose? I’ve read different things. Most of my friends, family, and clients had at least two doses…We’ll see what happens
Depends what you mean by wear off.
They don’t provide immunity against getting it at all, so nothing to wear off in that sense. There’s some indication that for a short period, like a few months, they provide some protection against hospitalization and death when you do get it.
But worse is now clear data on negative efficacy, meaning vaccinated are more likely to get it and this data is clear globally from all decent sources and it seems to get worse over time. Israel, for example, is the most vaccinated country on earth and is now setting per capita records for infections. Most vaccinated, most infected.
Makes me laugh my ass off.
What this points to is immunodeficiency. Whether that’s just for Covid or general, not know yet, or if it’s permanent, like AIDS.
