Cat Scratch Fever?

I ate lunch with Alice Cooper.

"Save for old people who tragically have no choice, COVID mainly infects the unintelligent."

We all hope you recover quickly.

Don't get vaccinated stupid people. Don't believe in science. The world will be a better place with less of you around.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but MC is right on point.  7 universities just checked 1500 "confirmed" C19 cases using SEM from KOCH Laboratories and were unable to detect C19 in a single sample. A CDC paper states they have been depending on 37-40 ladder links to identify an organism that has 30k to 40k ladders in it RNA. It's ALL been a lie.

How is over half million dead in just the USA, a lie?

I have always held SOME interest in your audio experience, though I  have not enjoyed your condescending, arrogant persona.  I have no interest in getting in a political or medical debate with anyone on this AUDIO website, as it is clearly inappropriate.  BUT I cannot sit by without comment on your ignorant espousal of  false medical information  and the ongoing pandemic.  You can believe what you wish, but the facts available do not mesh with your claims.  Besides the reliable statistics linked below, do you not know anyone who has had COVID and/or died from COVID?  If not, that is unusual, as I know quite a few, and the stories of the survivors are horrible, let alone the stories I cannot hear from the deceased...
Respectfully, please pass opinions on subjects that you at least have personal knowledge of, and try to be somewhat polite in doing so....

Direct data of illness and death, not some contrived, assumption-based derivatives, clearly shows the number of minimum deaths from COVID. I say minimum, because the number of deaths overall, are well above what would be expected deaths plus COVID deaths (ie, deaths from COVID are getting undercounted). I’m a scientist who helps oversee major science facilities, am in Zoom calls with COVID researchers, read the peer reviewed medical and science literature, and am a COVID long-termer myself. Anyone who intentionally misrepresents the seriousness of this pandemic is being deeply irresponsible. I am finding that I have a hard time trusting the judgement of those who don’t take this pandemic seriously or who pass on false information knowingly, including on audio.

Science > Media

Read about him contracting Covid. Sad, I don't wish ill on anyone.

Have concerns though. If he walks away from this with comparative ease, its not going to help raise any public awareness as far as the risks associated with Covid.

So, as much as i don't want him to endure too much pain, it might be good if he has to get put on a ventilator for a while, comes out of it, recovers fully and can then speak to what a crappy experience it was and how grateful he is to the healthcare workers and how folks should just wear masks.

But, thats not going to happen...

@oldhvymec  

The Tubes. Have recently been on the hunt for their records. Kind of a guilty pleasure, kind of not :) Very much enjoy their sounds.

My wife lost her uncle, I knew him 45 years. 5 people in Tracy CA got sick, the WHOLE family, behind the 16 year old kid..

What ever it is, it KILLED him.. Tell me it's a hoax, BULLSHI$. 

He worked for 59 years, He retired from Ace Hardware at 79 years old after working there close to 20 years after retiring from Dupont and 30 years of service..

My wife attended his funeral.. Hoax.. MORRON... May have been a lot of BS but it took 6 weeks to get him buried, there were so many DEATHS.

SARS is serious...BEING STUPID is worse.. Can't cure stupid..

NO REGARDS PERIOD..

it might be good if he has to get put on a ventilator for a while,

I'm pretty sure I have a few. The problem 300-400 LPs got caught in a pipe burst in my basement 30-35 years ago..  I still have to pull them a clean them. It is the wife's vinyl, too. Man or man she has NEVER forgot or forgiven for that matter.. Elephant memory when it comes to some things..  Can't remember how to make rice BUT remembers that.. :-)

Her and Captain Beefheart, Big Rod the Mod fan too.. females.. :-)

Our chief know-it-all likes to mention that he works in healthcare. He does posses much-needed skills that not many have.

So he wisely spent last spring bunkered at home while his peers were falling from exhaustion and more...

As for Ted Nugent, I hope for the best.

@boothroyd  

Thank you for helping to clarify malevolence. Prior to your link I had no idea what that meant...

And thank you for providing a science>media example by pulling something out of context and using it for your own purposes.

The preface clearly indicates my actual stance.

I can add a definition of preface if that helps?

So every body is in on that hoax: president Trump, Operation Warps Speed, president Obama, president Carter, president Bush, president Biden, the Pope, dr Fauci, the CDC, France, Spain, Israel, CNN, Fox, The New York Times, China, Russia, CVS, Walgreens, the NBA, the NFL, the NHL. Good thing Q is there to tell us the truth. Ted Nugent must be one of the brightest among us. 

Guess what OZ if someone (THAT'S ONE) doesn't say something. WE all deserve what we get.. I spoke up. WE don't deserve it. Don't worry about the politics, if being STUPID is political.. So Be It.. I call it being informed, so we can shoot the crap about STEREO GEAR.

If your not here and pushin' up daisies, guess what we ain't gonna be talkin' about stereo gear for darn sure.. More like is sure is HOT DOWN HERE. How did I wind up here..

OH I MUST HAVE BEEN PC (politically correct), when they should have been JC correct and MET HIM. Would have wound up in a LOT more pleasant place.. Heck I'll add something more to the mix. What some call a religion. I call a person..  No one else makes that claim..

Strike me down if you must.. I ain't going anywhere until my time is done.
What better place to share MY good fortune, than with MY friends. Right here on AG.. I never met a person I didn't like.. EVER.. Close though..

With great Respect and Regard... Behold I stand at the DOOR and knock!!!! Billy Graham 1964, sure got my attention...Moody Texas..

@oldhvymec  

I feel your pain :)

Every month, the Ex would think she was pregnant.

My response would be "Nope, not pregnant. Tuesday..."

Tuesday would roll around.

"I'm not pregnant"

Yeah...

I'm sure the records are fine, what are the chances of mold forming on them after a few decades

By the way, where did millercarbon's post go anyway?

Well, given MC's career, the ether? 

Facts
In 2020 39,000,000 contracted the Flu.   20,000 died
Feb 2020 to Feb 2021 29,000,000 contracted Covid 520,000 died

Sad but true

Like I suggested previously, these forums need a “ throw down” section.

glupson,  That would be money, $, you know, CASH

....comes out of it, recovers fully and can then speak to what a crappy experience it was and how grateful he is to the healthcare workers..."

Yeah, right!

Here is one example of how it really goes...

millercarbon 04-09-2021 11:13pm

............So all I will do is reiterate to never set foot in a hospital unless you absolutely must, and then beat tracks out of there as fast as you can, all the while telling yourself the whole time the doctor is talking, "This guy is lying, he is lying, lying, lying to me. Oh God there he goes again lying. Liar liar healthcare’s on fire."

fertguy,

"glupson, That would be money, $, you know, CASH"

In that case, I rest my case.

I like MC too, I don't care who doesn't like his views (we're more alike than not). He was there along with a few others, to encourage me at a real tough time in my life.. Say what you will, he speaks his mind. Don't tell him, but he has a BIG ol HEART.. He's an American, tried and true in my eyes.. No, he ain't perfect. I guess that's what I like the most.. Just like the rest of you and  me..

How fun this would be if we all just agreed..  Horse pucky we'd all be bored to death..

Hat on the floor... As I walk around it to the beat of the music with my faithful K-9 (Bubs) following me.. Stomp Stomp.. She stops (the dog) and we slowly back around the hat.. Olay! 

Beef Jerky time... oh how fun.....  :-)

perkri... TWO of the greatest figures of the old world were found in a basket floating down the river, or hidden in the reeds...

Some of the greatest accomplishments in my life were family for sure, but not a blood relatives.

We all have a purpose.. Don't deny the obvious when you have so much to offer while waiting.. 

Ya never know what might come floating down the river. Be of good cheer, there is a plan.. Forest, Trees. :-)

Regards

I do very much appreciate MC's openness and willingness to try what many perceive as "voodoo" when it comes to audio/tweaks.

Interesting how it is in complete opposition to other views.

People are fascinating creatures :)

Why was HCL banned in some states? It worked on the few that took it.Survival rate of CV19 is 99.7%The "vaccine", which it's not, wasn't brought in for CV.  CV was brought in for the "vaccine".  Look at the world push to jab everyone. This is not about your health.

I like Stranglehold and I can tolerate the song Cat Scratch Fever, but every other song on the album Cat Scratch Fever sucks and then Nugent released an album a year for the next 3 years and then an album every other year up until 1988 for a total of 7 albums and it all sucked. And I mean sucked bad. Just my opinion.

@rushfan71.

Yep. Gotta be true to the narrative or get cancelled. Lemmings just follow without asking. question. Then, their .Dunning Kruger makes them jump anyone who doesn't buy the narrative

@fertguy
Why didn’t Trump get HCL when he got sick? They gave him the good stuff instead. Is everything a conspiracy for you?  By the way, he and is family got vaccinated. 

Question to the CV19 naysayers, do you actually believe what you are writing, or are you spewing this to get a rise out of people?

Both options are very sad, but for very different reasons.

"Why was HCL banned in some states?"

It was a Supreme Court's decision because of frequent attacks with it.

"TheTubes. Have recently been on the hunt for their records."

oldheavy, I have the 1st two albums-"The Tubes: and "Young and Rich".
Tough to find decent condition LP's, but they're out there. Cheap too.

Their early stuff really tells a stories about the times. "White Punks on Dope" lyrics surprisingly hold up today. Toilet flush ending good check for speaker performance!

To the few who made references to the "Free for all" album- I really liked it when it came out, but I don't give it any play like Ted's debut. IMO, Ted "jumped the shark" after that album- I lost interest. Last album with Derek St Holmes, It was a full Ted show from then on. I have an Amboy Dukes"-Journey to the center of the mind" Good stuff.

Other posters responding to MC's remarks. Just ignore him. Pay no attention, it eventually goes away. 

I can understand his remarks striking a nerve with those directly affected. Lost loved ones, friend and MD's. I had 2 friends pass-both in their 50's. 

Libs are Sooooooo gullible. Pandemic, Scamdemic. the CPP knows they have their allegiance, especially at the top where BIG $$$ is to be made.

’This is clearly more evidence you cannot trust the mainstream media’ - YouTube

The internet is not your friend when it comes to politics. Buy a book, subscribe to some magazines. Alternate television news sources. Do not listen to talk radio. Travel safely to other countries. Quit the pseudo intellectual attempts at relevance or to put it more plainly quit the laziness. 

Do not listen to talk radio.

said the propogandist. I've listened to Rush for yrs. Before that it was other talk radio. Plus I do my own research. If I still debated with libs, I'd gladly debate you on any political topic. But after spending many yrs on the Outside Asylum & Water Cooler, I quit trying to make any logical arguments with libs because it was as exasperating as trying to explain trigonometry to a 3 yr old. The problem is that we are NOT headed in the same direction. Two people in St Louis, one going to San Fran  & the other to NYC cannot compromise on their destination unless one is willing to change. 

"Other posters responding to MC’s remarks. Just ignore him. Pay no attention, it eventually goes away."

It is true that millercarbon has an excuse. He speaks from inexperience. While other radiology technicians were risking their lives to help other people, he was hiding in his listening room trying new tweaks. His biggest published (here) achievement of 2020 was to courageously suspend speaker cables on rubber bands from the parsley bunches.

Calling people who tried hard to help someone "liars" is above any level of tolerable.

Unfortunately pekri, they are completely serious. It is a problem of extremity. Being skeptical is good. Usually that is a very good quality. However, in some, that skepticism is very selective, and very extreme. Perhaps selective skepticism is not even the right designation.  Would it be selectively skeptical to not doubt audio tweak claims, or is it because you have extreme skepticism about anything claimed by relevantly knowledgeable people. I believe it may be the latter. I guess that is still selective skepticism, but perhaps it is really about total avoidance of anything that can be designated as authority, even when that "authority", which is only informational, is acting in your best interests.


Psychologically I think it is all a manifestation of insecurity. If you are insecure, you may not be able to admit, even to yourself, that someone, no matter their level of expertise, knows more than you, even though, for most of us, we realize that is the case on almost everything. That does not mean you don't question "experts" as they often step out of their actual expertise and make gross generalizations. We all remember "experts" telling us masks won't help, even when every available piece of evidence said they may. Problem was, those experts were not experts in the actual mechanics of transfer of similar diseases, and the claims were based on established facts, ignoring similar, but as of yet unproven in this case, facts.  What they did was equivalent to a smoker saying I have never got cancer from smoking before, so I won't in the future.


When you need to feed that insecurity, you will grasp onto anything that supports that goal. Masks is another good example. Virus is <0.3uM, N95 masks only claim to be 95% effective with particles at 0.3uM.  No where in that statement does it claim that particles <0.3um cannot be stopped, but if you need to feed an insecurity, that will be what you grasp onto. [Due to electrostatic attraction, many N95 masks are more effective at 0.1uM than they are at 0.3uM].

Folks you have come to the right place to find your pandemic experts. They also have golden ears.  Some may come off as a bit arrogant but so what?   When your hot your hot.

glupson your startin’ to sound like me about no knock warrants and vice cops.

Compare the two, lets go after the HUGE problem and understand EVERYONE can have a fuc%up opinion. The funny part, MC pushes the button and is in pure monitor mode.. LOL He get’s to rent a LOT of space in peoples heads at NO CHARGE.. LOL Pretty good at it too..

I admire the guy.. sure gets you going from time to time..
At Least CHARGE for the space.. LOL

Now don’t get all mad. Though it is a bit of a chuckle..;-)

I'm claimin' the Irish defense, "I wadnt' der dat day Fader, I swear on me modders grave"

I hope people pay their enablers well.

When your hot your hot.

And when you're hot, you're hot...............

Can one of you Einsteins (and I know we have at least one) explain how the “Plandemic” is simultaneously a “Democrat” hoax and also a plague visited upon us by China? How, exactly, does that work?

And when one of the most stupid, loathsome and despicable figures in the entire music industry gets his ass whooped by an illness he’s spent at least a year denying even exists, you’d think perhaps some of the likeminded ostriches might take notice. But these same individuals were likely too busy cheering Ted’s genius observation of just a few days ago wondering why, if COVID-19 was so bad, we didn’t shut down for Covids 1 through 18!

Clearly the illness seriously impaired his faculties, or he would have immediately realized that he could have just shot that gol-darned imaginary virus with his AK-47 and showed it a thing or two about our Right to Bear Arms.

And speaking of our right to bare arms, don’t be like Ted: go get vaccinated!

[Full disclosure: Tony Fauci has very generously offered me 17 cents of the buck-two-fifty and change he gets from the vaccine manufacturers for every dose administered.]

Although I can’t stand Ted Nugent at all, I don’t wish ill will on him. IMO, he is a has been although an excellent guitar player.  You non believers make me sick, I know 3 people very close to me who died from COVID and it was not, is not a hoax.  Another friend caught it and survived.  He now has very serious respiratory problems, probably for the rest of his life.  My wife and I got our shots and we are grateful to have done so.

The people here who think this is all bunk and who don’t follow the protocols are the reason that we are entering the 4th surge.  As long as you have that attitude, we will be wearing masks for years.  If any of you non believers get sick and God forbid die, I will offer you “thoughts and prayers” and quietly tell myself, “I told you so.”

Nobody I know thinks it's a hoax. But many do feel that it was politicized from the start and used as a tool. If we had focused on the compromised and the elderly from the start and let everyone else go about their business we would be done with this by now. There was no need to allow businesses to go under.

And don't fool yourself with that mask idiocy. Just virtue signaling when you watch how people utilize these face diapers. It's all about feeling like you've "done your part".

This thread needs to go away...and here I am like a rubbernecker at a traffic accident.

And don't fool yourself with that mask idiocy. Just virtue signaling when you watch how people utilize these face diapers. It's all about feeling like you've "done your part".

And you are basing your expert opinion on what evidence?  Some people using them poorly?  Most people use them effectively. 

"The funny part, MC pushes the button and is in pure monitor mode.."

There is not much that is funny in some scared mouse hiding under the rock and verbally spitting on those who risked their lives to try to save his.
