Health Dept: Covid-19 Oral Anti-Virals Available

The Mississippi State Department of Health announced at a press conference today that Covid-19 oral anti-viral medication is available in Mississippi.  The press conference is posted below. 


 

Information about the oral antivirals and where they can be obtained is available at the MSDH website. 

The website states: 

Oral antiviral therapies Paxlovid (Pfizer) and molnupiravir (Merck) are products authorized by the FDA for treatment of COVID-19. These therapies require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Talk to your healthcare provider to see whether an oral antiviral is the right option for you.

How they work: Oral antiviral medications work by targeting specific proteins on the SARS-CoV-2 virus to help prevent the virus replicating within the body. It is important that the oral antiviral is started within 5 days of the start of symptoms.

They are available at all Kroger and Walmart pharmacies in Mississippi.  A handful of other pharmacies carry the orals as well. 

The anti-virals are not prioritized as vaccines and monoclonal antibody treatments were.  State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said there are "plenty" of doses available.   The treatments are free. 

There are 347 doses of monoclonal antibodies available out of the original allocation of 4,000 doses.

People who are not vaccinated should be responsible for all COVID related health care. If we did that, there would be no need for any mandates.

Several folks taking every precaution at my employer have tested positive multiple times but I can't catch it with no vax.

I'm only 32 years old but I would gladly get the sniffles to get on this free paid leave that others seem to enjoy, before the Dems get too close to election time and end the party.

Thank you, anonymous @ 10:15am for your insight. Does your fiat extend to people who smoke tobacco, are obese or do illicit substances? What other personal freedoms should we target?

Zinc stops viral replication and hydroxychloroquine, quercetin and epigallocatechin gallate are all zinc ionophores. I'll stick with that to prevent viral replication. No prescription needed for zinc, quercetin and EGCG. Of course any non-patented or off-patent substance is "snake oil" and "quackery". It's quite humorous. Dobbs just can't mention the immune system's need for vitamin D3, though it is nice to see he's not wearing Fauci's athletic cup over his piehole in the video. He has exactly zero credibility. He's a joke.

That public health officials never once recommended D3 in two plus years is criminal.

"People who are not vaccinated should be responsible for all COVID related health care. If we did that, there would be no need for any mandates."

Why? The vaccinated are dying from Covid despite what Doomsday Dobbs is telling those of you so ignorant as to not recognize the propaganda. My friend's father died recently and was triple poked by Moderna. If the vaccines aren't "saving" the most vulnerable among us, then it doesn't work - Period.

Here you go sir or mam - go home, take this antibiotic and come back when you can't breathe. These doctors are freaking pitiful.

If any of you defenders of the state or federal governments, NIH, CDC, Fauci or Dobbs want to see what really happened, take your blinders off and read Michael Lewis' latest book, The Premonition: A Pandemic Story. This book was not #1 on both the NY Times and Amazon best sellers list for nothing. Sleep easy.

FINALLY, they've released some protease inhibitors for the treatment of Covid!

Death rates among unvaccinated people are 10x the death rate of the vaxxed. Quit making stuff up. I’m against mandates but I’m also against people posting made up stuff.

People who are obese should be responsible to pay for all related health care treatment(s) that result from their obesity.

Come on smarty pants, there is no magic about “D3”. Any form of vitamin D is used by the body the same way (mainly for calcium absorption). Eat some fish and get some sun but don’t count on that to prevent or cure Covid.

@11:01 - care to let us know the qualifications you have that led you to discover the cure for Covid? Are you in line for the Nobel prize?

What is with the all the interwebs posters exclaiming that unverified medicine or recommendations for use of anything should be practiced, e.g. Vitamin D. Or ivermectin-of any style or form. Or Zinc. Or vitamin C. Or hydroxychloroquine. Or house-hold bleach. Hell, just go ahead and "fill in the blank" with your preferred unlearned, thereby unearned, recommendation for treatment. Now, that should be criminal, I agree.

Early on this was discussed by healthcare providers and it seems it should be noted that the evidence of use of any substance or non-use, cannot be prescribed to the entirety of humanity by a licensed physician, public health or otherwise. The body of evidence is grown by research, not the good idea fairies of the world posting online, they seeing conspiracies where none exist.

Some appear to believe that for certain substances, the "fill in the blank" type, just load up and don't worry about the implications. Yet, with other substances, they demand some level of perfection in approving anything for use. Sheesh.

@ 10:1540% of recent Covid deaths were fully vaccinated and/or boosted

I'm considering taking Dr. Kildare's above comment/prescription. However, I am still slightly confused with the advice offered.

Question for the group: 1) Do I follow the good internet doctor's NYT or Amazon's uninformed, yet profitable for them, recommendations on reading materials and chance that then I can sleep easy? Or 2) Maybe take a nap, save my money on buying the book, and thereby pass on the use of the above recommendation?

I'm leaning toward the latter.

@2:08 - it’s hard to believe anyone would trust a crackhead that hallucinates talking pillows telling him about election fraud, but here we are. Better hope those pillows don’t start jabbering about vaccines and China soon or else this country may not survive.

Dr. Kildare said...

4:18 - Dr. Kildare here. For the benefit of the other posters and myself, please show me where any prescription or medical information was contained in my post. The post plainly said ".....If any of you defenders..... want to see what really happened, ..... read Michael Lewis' latest book'. Recommending a book and practicing medicine are two different things, and it appears at least one of the posters does not know the difference.

Some of the unvaxxed that die are ones that cannot take "vaccine" due to health problems and comorbidities, so I can understand that their unfortunate demise could skew the numbers.

However, looking at today's chart
https://www.msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/14,23549,420,971.html

indicates that a little over 60% deaths are unvaxxed or single shot(which I would like to see those two broken apart) and 40% are vaxxed.

60 / 40 = 1.5 times, not 10 times

And that with the disclaimer "Based on INVESTIGATED cases only"

What is it about vitamins and minerals that fuel, nourish and modulate the immune response that pisses Jabtards off so badly? Intelligent design, millions of years of evolution, take your pick, this is how it works. None are a "cure for COVID" nor is the vaccine which is designed to bolster the immune response! It's the immune system that defeats the virus. Jabtards act as if the vaccine "kills" the virus. If you think your immune system runs on petrochemicals, try drinking some regular unleaded why dont you?

I only follow the doctor who writes for the Northside Sun. He's much better than Dobbs.

@10:41 How i wish you could’ve gotten covid instead of my 32 year old pregnant daughter. By the way, she’s a schoolteacher and teachers do NOT get “free paid leave.” Just wanted to clear that up for you.

Watch Sen. Ron Johnson's 'second opinion' round table discussion. Doctors from across the country are speaking out. But there are those who will only believe fraudci and dubbs. It is amazing how ignorant people can be. Oh, and the CDC said yesterday masks are basically useless. Now they're talking 'one way' masking. So keep yours on and protect yourself ... Hahahahahahahahaha! Most of the jabtards insist on masking your children. Crazies.

7:33 A State with a large rural population of a bit over 2 million in a is not statistically relevant.

National stats and Worldwide stats are far more reliable.

The odds of those of us who are fully vaccinated AND boostered are quite different that Mississippi's. Indeed, you should all be looking at the 3 States and any Nation with 80%+ vaccination rates( and yes, whose populations are largely masked).

In the US, the unvaccinated death rate is 9.4 per 100000 while the fully vaccinated and boosted death rate is .1 per 100000.

And, the fully vaccinated and boosted over 60 with underlying health problems are those dying. It's the same as always.. aged people are more likely to die from pneumonia or secondary infections.

If you want to play stats, it's important to know math and statistics. High school won't do it. The sample group and comparisons you choose matter.

I suspect Dr. Kildare is pretty old to use that handle ( the last episode was in 1966). The poor dear may have Alzheimer's or dementia in the earlier stages. Or, he never kept up with the science outside his specialty and/or is retired. I suspect he relied on drug reps without analyzing whether or not the "research" was flawed and also has the ego that allowed him to prescribed drugs for other than their approved use and likely even wrote scripts for " friends who didn't want to wait for an app't).He ignored why that shouldn't be done...starting with lack of knowledge how other illness or drugs might affect efficacy of the drug or other vital drugs being taken.

My concern is that medical schools have graduated far too many with good memorization abilities but poor comprehension/analytical skills and that a complete psychological evaluation isn't needed for licensing (doctors are well represented among those convicted for murder).

But,then I can't imagine getting out of college without understanding how useless anecdotal information is and that it has zero statistical value. Or without knowing that the smartest people in my universities did not all want to go to med school.

And,the obvious is being missed from a lack of curiosity. IF these drugs anti-CV vaccine folks tout as alternatives were so good ,why are those countries with few vaccines and no money not using them as a cheap alternative? Why haven't you put together a clinical trial by now with adequate controls that can be duplicated and be waving the results in triumph? It's because it's bull hockey.

It's that paranoid ideation common in dementia that's your excuse? You really believe that a world wide conspiracy exists. If you can't bust a conspiracy that would require millions of people without finding the few honest folks, you just aren't that smart.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
