QUESTIONS? Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, is my guest tomorrow. He is an author of the Great Barrington Declaration criticizing Covid policy, signed by nearly a million scientists around the world. I am sharing this article in MedPage Today because it says neither he, nor his co-authors, returned request for comment, which always catches my eye because it makes me wonder if the person was given ample time, opportunity or they really chose to disengage. The article states, "a professor of medicine and economics at Stanford University, was an early vocal opponent of coronavirus lockdowns beginning in early March. In a March 24 opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal when statewide lockdowns were beginning, Bhattacharya and a co-author questioned the severity of the virus, stating that universal quarantines may not be worth the costs to the economy, social life, and population health."

I woke up Sunday to find that my trusty stead of 32 (almost 33) years, Sassy, had a swollen cheek with a rather hard lump. Our vet, Dr Julia Simonson, came to examine her and I thought it would be interesting for folks to hear it “right from the horse’s mouth.” Examining a horse’s mouth without sedation can be tricky but thankfully Sassy is rather tame because I harassed her so much as a kid. 🤣 We saw what appears to be an ulcer or abscess likely from some kind of cut or foreign object. No signs of infection and it is slowly healing itself. I really appreciate having a veterinarian who supports the “monitor and support nutritionally” approach, and does not intervene pharmaceutically unless she believes it’s truly medically necessary. It’s very difficult to find a vet (or a human doctor frankly) these days with this mindset.
I hate to admit this but we just took down our Christmas tree a few days ago, weeks after our neighbors had decorations up for Valentine’s Day. I would blame it on the farm but we have always been late getting rid of our tree. I think our record is early March. At least this year we have a free tree removal service!
For weeks the feed store has had a sign out saying “chicks coming soon!” Today we drove by it and I did a double take. “Chicks are here!” So the kids and I made a dramatic u-turn with plans to just “see” the chicks. And we did see them. In fact, we still see them because they came home with us! 🤣Whoops. We got 4 Easter eggers and 2 Olive eggers. Lynn if you’re reading this, the little buggers begged to come home with us - how could we say no?!
I remember when so-called conservatives were adamantly against the "Fairness Doctrine". Hypocrisy never ends. Cries for fairness doctrine is always a clear sign of who knows they have lost support.
I don't support any side.
