If you have absolutely no choice, I would recommend to get the following:

Nattokinase: In vitro studies have found it can degrade the spike protein. Problem is that it breaks down any protein, so it's not specific. It is best taken on an empty stomach to get as much of enzyme in the bloodstream.

N-acetylcysteine + bromelain: Similar to nattokinase, they can break down the spike protein, at least in vitro. Obviously, test tube setting is not the same as the human body, but the biological plausibility is there. N-acetylcysteine is also a precursor to glutathione, a compound that helps with detoxification in the liver.

Quercetin: This is potent anti-oxidant and is available in supplements. But if you're already having a healthy diet, you probably don't necessarily need this.

Handy tip: Ignore anyone who uses 'cis' in a non-organic chemistry context.

With the plethora of old games that are available to us, we don't really need new games. Sure, every once in a while, there will be a legit good modern game that isn't woke. However, you get like one of those for every 20 woke games.

The game was made on the Luminous engine, the same engine that FFXV was built on and the reception towards that game was lukewarm. Luminous Productions re-using Project Athia assets for Forspoken was a last ditch sunken cost fallacy attempt to recoup the investment into the engine.

Apparently, they thought woke-ifying the game would help it sell and we know the rest of the story.

To correct you a bit, Pikamee has been planning to retire for a while for several reasons including having back problems and recently having back surgery. She wanted to go out with a bang by streaming Hogwarts Legacy and just announcing that she would play the game made the tranny twits sperg out.

Pikamee doesn't handle bullying well due to her past trauma growing up as a half-Japanese in Japan. Combine that with her gentle nature and she was the perfect target for the crybullies.

She has been streaming again, seemingly in positive spirits so it's good to see she's able to bounce back. And the tranny crybullies ended up causing the rest of the internet to band against them.

What are they doing now? Well, now they're going after Pippa... and it's glorious because she's basically what happens when you combine VTubing with 4chan.

Pikamee was bullied off the internet by men who will never be women.

'Racial equity' is the real systemic racism.

He literally admitted in a court of law that he advanced towards Kyle with his handgun pointed towards him. This case should be laughed out of the room.

People like Gaige will never learn their lesson. If I'm Kyle, I would countersue.

This quite an elaborate and expensive way to show people how mentally unhinged you are, Mindy...

Honestly, I’m glad this is happening. It will inevitably fail spectacularly. You think the current administration is incompetent, well they’re going to one-up that 100 fold.

I’m an Eagles fan and that holding call was brutal. Chiefs could’ve still won it at the end (the defense had no answers against 2nd half Mahomes), but I really wanted to see Hurts have that one last drive.

And the game in general was a blast to watch until that penalty basically sucked the fun out of it.

Not really on topic, but that is one butt ugly horse.

Lockdowns didn't do shit and instead actually made getting Covid slightly worse. Masks don't make any difference and yet, they were mandated in schools to the detriment of students' social skills. And don't get me started on making kids take the jabs even though the 0-19 group has less than a 0.1% chance of dying from infection.

You can estimate the IFR once you notice the pattern. The study measures IFR in 10 year cohorts and when you move to the older cohort, the IFR approximately quintuples.

The IFR in the 60-69 cohort was ~0.5%, so yeah it would skyrocket to 2.5% in the 70-79 group. Of course, the point is moot since the current variant is far less virulent than alpha and because it's so transmissible, the rate of natural immunity is high.

Then on top of that, how violently irresponsible was it for the media to scream about the dangers of HQC when Trump took it, when it was a viable alternative to the fucking respirators.

It's actually worse than what you're describing. The media published hitpieces against HCQ after an Arizona woman poisoned herself and killed her husband with fish tank cleaner. The media framed it as a couple who mistakenly confused fish tank cleaner with HCQ and poisoned themselves in an innocent mistake.

Not to mention the media and medical establishment did the same thing with ivermectin with the "horse dewormer" narrative.

Weaker than both and Omicron was since the beginning of last year, so we're 2-3 variants removed from it by now.

A few years ago, the CDC (yeah, I know yuck) estimated around 70% COVID deaths came from people who were overweight. So if you're a healthy person, your chances of dying from alpha COVID after infection is even lower than 0.1%.

Add onto the fact that at this point, everyone has already been infected with (a much weaker version of) COVID and consequently the natural immunity drops the already near-zero IFR even lower.
