Wuhan and You

 Pay close attention, children. I said the same thing over a year ago after reading an article published by Yale claiming that their researchers found remnants of CRISPR technology in the genome of the virus (the smoking gun). Interestingly, I could not find the article even a month later, probably because it didn't fit the "Wuhan marketplace" narrative:

"But if the Chinese government has nothing to hide, why has it stymied investigations into the origin of the virus from the very beginning of the pandemic?...

...proponents of lab escape can explain all the available facts about SARS2 [COVID-19 virus] considerably more easily than can those who favor natural emergence."

Medicine and Politic: A Deadly Mix -Pin This

  From Libertarian Tom Woods comes a very insightful post concerning how physicians have gutted true medicine in the name of "Public Health." I can totally relate to the writer's insights and angst. I first noticed this in med school, and I also had the realization that my fellow students lock-stepped (thanks for the accurate image!) right into line. It was a lonely time of my life for me. I actually gave up discussing politics with these particular classmates. I felt very much alone.

"In my opinion, the medical intelligentsia is in complete lockstep with far-left politics. It is so fully ingrained that I personally don’t think it's possible for it to change from the inside. I think outside forces need to become aware of it. Without going into too much detail, the public health field is generally made up of people who define medicine to be such a broad term, that almost no area of our lives would not be subject to control by it. For example, gun control leads to trauma, so health experts should make policy on it. Poor housing leads to worse health outcomes, so health experts should make policy on housing subsidies/projects, etc...

"...It is the orthodox opinion that the medical community should advocate and push for policies (that always line up with left-wing politics)."

Benadryl Use for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

 My Quora Answer to:

Does Benadryl help hand, foot, and mouth disease?

If the rash (dermatitis) is pruritic (itchy) then, yes.

HFMD rarely occurs in adults and when it does, can be extremely itchy. Conversely, it is rarely pruritic in children, who catch it much more frequently.

The lesions are painful, so over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen will help. Adults can use aspirin safely if not contraindicated, but avoid it in children because of the increased risk of Reye's Syndrome in that age group.

The above pain relievers are also antipyretic, meaning that they will reduce fever. And chills.

Heat can increase the pain so avoid hot liquids. Very cold beverages decrease pain.

If your rash is itchy, then by all means take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and/or the non-sedating antihistamines such as Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec.
