It almost like words have context. Calling it the China Virus is antagonistic.

I am not a snowflake, i really don't care, but its a telling choice for those that favor it over their dozen other options. Its better to prepare a historic and irrelevant analogy as an excuse than take the tiniest little step towards the higher road by saying covid19.

Thank you doctor.

Dialysis prolongs death, it doesn't save lives and it is not a cure.
I've seen this first hand.

The problem is this:
the kidneys filter the blood constantly. Every minute of every day to prevent the build-up of toxins. Dialysis is not a replacement for that.

A typical dialysis patient goes in for treatment about three times a week (or more) after the toxins have built up to levels that are harmful.
IOW the patient is almost always sick and being poisoned by his own system.
Eventually it gets to the point where the vital organs can't take it anymore and they stop functioning. The heart is usually the one that does it.
A patient with stage 4 renal failure (loss of over 80% of function) has a life expectancy of less than a year without dialysis.
With dialysis, that same patient might live two or three years.

Without a kidney transplant, dialysis is almost always death sentence for a stage 4 renal failure patient.

I don't recall if the article stated how long she has already been on dialysis, but it's likely she is very close to being out of time already.

You win this thread, as usual.

So this person trusts the medical people enough to let them put her under and slice her open and swap out a kidney but does not trust them when they say she should take a vaccine shot? Is she sure she needs a kidney, who told her, probably the same people who want her to take a shot?

They need to hurry up and finish the internment camps

I like Wuhan or China virus because they are accurate. Added bonus that the CCP does not like it

And also because you’re a pillow biting, foot sniffing, racist.

Don’t worry, he can’t see this. He has me on ignore.

The responses in this thread might as well been a poll.

Your doc is wrong. Spain was the hero country in this naming.

Spain was the only country talking openly and honestly about the flu. People looking for accurate information turned to Spanish news papers. Uninformed people in the States fought about how many layers of gauze masks needed to be and how to kill people's dogs (because everyone knows that the dog carry the flu... they didn't)

Misinformation abounds in these situations.

How is he wrong? If I was Spanish, I wouldn't want it named the Spanish Flu. Would you want Covid named the "Covid Island Flu" or the "Village Idiot Flu?"

Why your moniker on the flu?

[Steve Carlton]

It has a catchy ring to it. And it seems more apropos than Covid as it turned out.

It really depends on what's considered one.

A vaccine isn't simply a drug which stimulates the immune system.
