I was thinking in the case of a gruesome axe wound you'd probably get given several tetanus injections 'just to be sure'. It always puzzled me why the insistence on tetanus boosters after any minor gash or wound. Giving an eighty year old three or four injections would almost certainly adversely impair his already aged circulatory system.
"In the mid-1990s, Bradbury accidentally hit his leg while chopping firewood. Gangrene set in, and his right leg was amputated below the knee. It spread to his left leg, and part of his left foot was amputated, leaving him in a wheelchair. The disease eventually proved fatal, and he died on August 20, 1997."
That doesn't make sense, How come no aggressive antibiotic therapy and how did it jump from one leg to another.
I bet he was given tetanus injections. In doing so they completely destroyed his natural ability to fight off the infection. Hence the gap-jumping gangrene.
It is the first time that the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee of the Public Health Service has recommended vaccinating children for a disease whose victims are almost always adults."
U.S. Panel Urges That All Children Be Vaccinated for Hepatitis B
Like Jessica Woodlouse76 AP claimed Elmhurst Hospital events in March 2020 were all staged and faked. Later Woodlouse76 had a monumentally epic spaz out when subject of lethal oxygen toxicity brought up. Since then neither want to discuss Elmhurst anymore. Just seems odd that both had the same line of inquiry at the time yet neither now much bothered to discuss it any further.
Seem to remember this account as being an alter ego of Kevin McCairn. Used to be quite active on susstack where it got complaints from other people that he was mostly just copying and pasting stuff taken from a LLM-based fake AI.
"Principal Robert Malone, MD, MS was the keynote speaker at the VACCINES R&D-2015 A NEW ERA IN VACCINE DISCOVERY conference in Baltimore, MD (November 2-4, 2015). His talk was entitled: "Ebola Vaccine in 12 months, Global Village, and the Need for Speed."
He said he got a medical degree in two years. Just says he 'graduated' but doesn't state his qualification. I don't know about you but if I wanted to impress and held a legitimate MD title I'd be sure to include that particular line in my CV.
Also says he is currently licensed to practice medicine in the State of Maryland but doesn't state what kind of medicine. It could just be a permit to work in a CVS store. No one seems to question him about his background such as why was he thrown out of his PhD program. That doesn't happen too often so an interesting thing to discuss. Is he really even legit as a supposed advisor or evaluator? Based on his own CV I'd say probably not.
Education and Professional Experience
4. I graduated from the University of California, Davis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry in 1984. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a Master’s degree in Biology in 1989. I graduated from Northwestern University Medical School, Feinburg School of Medicine, in 1991.
5. I received one year of pathology residence training at University of California, Davis Sacramento Medical Center. I completed a Masters’ Degree in Biology from University of California, San Diego in 1989 for work performed primarily at the Salk Institute in the Molecular Biology and Virology Laboratories and Laboratory of Dr. Inder Verma.
6. I completed a Giannini post-doctoral research fellowship at University of California, Davis Department of Pathology in 1992. I completed a Harvard Medical School Global Clinical Research Scholars fellowship in 2016. This fellowship included an emphasis on regulatory affairs, clinical development, bioethics, epidemiology and biostatistics.
7. I am currently licensed to practice medicine in the State of Maryland.
The fact he also got thrown out of his PhD program raises serious questions about his idea of ethical behavior. gnome wrote a whiney long letter begging to be re-admitted and they still said no.
This is the begging letter he wrote. He explains that he left because of unpleasant experiences with all of his peers and mentors. They for some unexplained reason really hated him. He got his masters degree as a booby prize.
"I recall that your criterion for a Ph.D. thesis in biology at UCSD is that the work makes a significant contribution to biology .
I believe that this body of work fulfils that requirement.
I left the university last December I was severely depressed and disillusioned after many unpleasant experiences at the hands of my advisor, a small number of his post-docs, and some members of the department of biology.
I was granted a masters degree by virtue of my passing the Ph.D. qualifying examination, and my work has not been reviewed as a thesis . If possible , I would like to be able to submit it now as a Ph.D. thesis, and to complete an experimental collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. William Harris while a student of the university . Please contact me if there is any possibility for my doing so."
Dr. John Holland of UCSD who denied Robert Patel-Malone's reentry into his PhD program after he was ceremoniously kicked out wrote extensively about lack of replication fidelity for mRNA clones.
He also died in 2016. Maybe Rixey dropped by to visit him. It's really no wonder why Robert Patel-Malone didn't get along with anyone at UCSD.
"RNA virus populations, even when derived from a clone, are extremely heterogeneous mixtures of closely related genomes termed quasispecies. With mutation rates of the order of 1024 substitutions per nucleotide and round of copying, and with a genome size of about 10 kb, an average of approximately one mutation is incorporated each time a genome is copied. Such high mutation rates together with short replication times and large population sizes confer upon RNA viruses an enormous capability for adaptation and rapid evolution"
The main idea is really about rolling around in dense populations of phages. They can be found in huge quantities in dirt and seawater. For seawater you're probably going to get mostly fish phages and the like but dirt from the ground are going to give close exposure to a very wide range of different phage types.
So it's not about getting dirty so much as going directly to where all the main phage action is. You're not typically going to get a lot of this if you're stuck indoors all day etc.
Look at hippos and elephants. They really love to roll around in mud and dirt. Is that because they benefit from all the phages in that dirt? I think they do so now wondering why we aren't doing it.
It's only for a few minutes and then you wash it off. Phages go right through the gut barrier and the skin barrier probably also lets a few in too. They'll easily get into all your pores for instance.
If this all sounds a bit too nutty just remember there are trillions and trillions of phages inside all of us. There's more of them inside us than any other biological lifeform by quite some margin. They are not harmful and getting a bit more fresh variety from your locale every and then can't be a bad thing.

son of sam harrisIs dirt bathing a thing? I noticed every mammal or bird on Earth likes to roll around in dirt occasionally except for us human saps. It's supposed to help manage parasites I think but I think it's more likely to do with increasing native phage exposure. Something like ten million phages in every gram of dirt which you wouldn't typically have access to unless you roll around in it for a bit.
same for skinny dipping. Hundreds of millions of phages in every millilitre of water which you get totally immersed in. When I was a kid it always amazed me how all the scuffs, scrapes and cuts would magically just heal after spending a hour or two in the sea.
Obviously take a shower afterwards or before you put your clothes back on. Can you also maybe buy special forest dirt you can rub yourself down with if you're in a city.
