Capitol Hill Blue Forums Science and Technology Health, Medicine & the healing Sciences Coronavirus: The Plague of The 21st Century?

I read a "shocking" article once where it was reported that a majority of California surfers were vitamin D deficient.

Author didn't mention that California surfers are in cold ass water and wearing wet suits. They don't get much sun.

Has anyone else noticed that, ALL OF A SUDDEN, the tsunami of COVID anti-vax and anti-mask propaganda has slowed to a trickle?
Where's all the noise about ivermectin? Seems like only yesterday my news feed (not just social media - -- EVERYWHERE) was almost wall to wall
"Frontline Doctors, Joseph Mercola, VAERS hysteria, ivermectin" and the continuing saga of angry truckers.

I guess Putin's propaganda workers and his American BFF's can't walk and chew gum at the same time so now they've redirected their energy and resources into
making Ukrainians look like wall to wall Nazis who deserve to lose their country instead...no time for COVID funnies anymore.

Pandemic news and hysteria are winding down with the pandemic. Life returns nearly to normal and then we had a war. You see a lot less talk about Trump these days too, and none of it good.

Trump is in the news, every single, day - in fact, multiple times. Currrently the stories are about his failed social media platform that launched the week, the Trump investigations, and Trump's continued support of Putin.

In fact, Trump releases media talking points almost daily.

I'm aware, Rick, but when was the last time you heard Ivanka's name or her husband?

Trump still holds some sway with the party but he's not particularly newsworthy.

Covid news still has some sway with the press too and may rise back to the top, but right now the war gives folks something else to think about instead of those tired old stories.

I see two trends: One, Ukraine is taking up the bandwidth, both literally and figuratively. And, two, the troll farms are disrupted.

And three, our own domestic COVID disinfo trolls lost a major source of revenue.

Ivanka, this week. Ivanka is "working" with the 01/06 committee to speak to them. I say just subpoena her and get it over with.

Jared, yesterday. A story about Roger Staone telling Jeard he was going to go swim with the fishes if he's not careful.

Welp...they're being paid in Rubles with are worth less than 0.01 now-a-days.

I'm sorry Rick, but the Trumps can't be all the news all the time like they used to be. They still get a few mentions but they are no longer newsworthy.

I'm sorry too that everyone who is going to get vaccinated or natural immunity has pretty much arrived there and taken away much of the covid controversy.

But mostly I'm sorry that Ukraine is under attack by Russia and forcing your favorite topics into the background.
