The Real Dr. Steven Horvitz's avatar

I’ll have to add “No showering or bathing during cold virus season” to the list I give patients to stay healthy.

On second thought, Nah!

Lincoln Microphone LLC's avatar

Seems retarded right? A hot shower and some eucalyptus oil is always a nice remedy for stuffy nose/sore throat season imo and I'm no doctor.

Paul Ashley's avatar

These days, not being a doctor makes you more trustworthy and often more knowledgeable.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

that has been going on for 50 or more years! all these old remedies need to be collected and kept for future use

RioRosie's avatar

Vicks Vapo-Rub.

Works like a charm.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

never used it since I know that they are still testing their rub on beagles after all those years

RioRosie's avatar

As far as I'm concerned, they don't need to test it any more. IT WORKS GREAT. My family has used it for three generations.

But I do understand your point.

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

We are all Doctors now .At least the ones writing comments here .

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

Caring for our health means being our own Doctor .Health care can only be provided by our self .

T and J's avatar

Your health starts with you.

Your doctor should not come in as a helper until every other possible option has been exhausted.

Völva's avatar

Should be so obvious.

RLM RLM's avatar

Anything that is dirty, abnormal, odd, and senseless is told now as normal. No showering. GTFO Marxist fools.

Sam's avatar

GTFO. Brilliant. Makes me think of Eddie Murphy to Nick Nolte in 48hrs movie.

Pug's avatar

I agree. A hot shower when I have a cold always makes me feel better and loosens up my stuffed up nose. But what do I know, I am just a simpleton, not a high falutin' "doctor."

LovinTexas's avatar

What do you actually Do with the oil? Dribble it in in the shower or what? Inquiring minds want to know. 70-year-old babe-in-the-woods here especially wants to know!

snarevox's avatar

there are also essential oil diffusers that will put it in the air, and in a small room like a bathroom, i could see it getting rather “thick” (especially during a hot steamy shower)..

you can also put it directly into your bath water or you might even be able to find a nice eucalyptus infused rub, either online or at your local hippie boutique (think of something similar to vicks vaporub or tiger balm)

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

You have to get someone,to rub it on your skin and don't use it for cooking .

shibumi's avatar

These people will twist themselves into pretzels to explain what's happening.

Anything. But. The. Vaxx.

Sad. We could help them, but since they refuse to believe anything is wrong, they're going to reap the negative consequences of their decisions, as we stand by and watch their amazement as their vaxxed loved ones die of turbo cancer and myocarditis.

Suzy Cue's avatar

It’s not just *their* vaxxed loved ones dying😢. But I get your point.

shibumi's avatar

We lost our nephew to the vaxx, and our brother in law is vaxx injured. So yeah, we are all suffering.

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

Next to where I live four people died suddenly .Three men and one woman .Lucky they had all the shots or it would have been worse .I never saw them without a mask ,while still alive .

snarevox's avatar

“Lucky they had all the shots or it would have been worse.”

i really hope that was sarcasm..

snarevox's avatar

unfortunately, i almost said the exact same thing.. unfortunately again, you beat me to it..

it definitely isnt easy, but it also isnt your fault, so dont ever think that..

its hard to accept that we have basically done everything within our ability trying to inform these people of what we have come to learn, and not because we were ever “anti vax”, but simply because we are anti dead loved ones..

i have gotten to the point where i finally just told my mother - ok thats fine if you want to ignore me, but i am going to continue to present you with this information and evidence as it becomes available, that way i have done my part and even though it pains me greatly, at least my conscience is clear.

we can only do what we can with what we have, and i feel like it would be wrong to discover how terrible this stuff is and not at least say something..

that way at least we know we did our best to tell them the information is there, and maybe after enough time they will realize something must be up, but if they choose to continue to ignore us, and god forbid something happens, we are automatically absolved from any wrongdoing, and we should be able to take that knowledge and rest much easier than the person who knew it was all bad news but didnt have the courage to speak up about it in time...

i would MUCH rather be the person who can honestly say: “hey i tried to tell you..” than the person who says “i wish i would have said something but i was afraid you would ridicule me..”

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

Maybe remaining filthy could help, but there is no money to be had from it LOL

Tom Tunes's avatar

Actually, I remember many decades ago while in medical school having the flu and fainting (probable vascular dilation coupled with some dehydration) and denting the small freezer with my head before hitting the floor. I’m sure a hot shower would have the same effect.

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

A new African tribe arriving in Germany from the Congo ,where asked what work they can do .They said in their homeland they where all professional head shrinkers . They can shrink heads on living subjects down to the size of a chicken egg .They in vited all politicians for a free service shrink ,because the service works best on hollow heads .

Margaret's avatar

Did the same in '58. Caused quite a stir with my sorority sisters.

Bootsorourke's avatar

Wouldn’t it be funny if it was the same incident we remember?

Bootsorourke's avatar

One of my sorority sisters fainted in the shower! I’ll never forget. 💕

I was just wondering if I should mention that healthy smart teenagers can faint in the shower too.

Jody Covert's avatar

Sublime sarcasm I hope?

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

BUT PLEASE CAN WE AT LEAST TAKE SOME COLD SHOWERS ?

Riri's avatar

LOL. If mental illness had a twitter account it will definitely be called Bob Wachter

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

Narcissist mental illness, IMO.

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

When Wachter was finished with wachting ,he took a cold shower ,but he set the cold tap handle much too cold ,so the water came out as snow ,snowing him in for two hours .

Jenny Logan's avatar

YES! Entirely this. Total insanity.

Stevechase's avatar

All of you need to think on how much worse it would have been had he not been vaccinated and boosted.

Indrek Sarapuu's avatar

Yep, and then he wouldn't have the "battle scars" of this fight with the flu.

Tardigrade's avatar

Especially the scar on his wastebasket lid. He seems very proud of it.

Michael Nucci's avatar

Big thick skull did major damage to the metal can.

Indrek Sarapuu's avatar

It did!

But the marble floor in the bathroom is not as compliant as sheet metal, whether SS or not.

Drop 6' onto marble, the marble wins...

Every time.

Stevechase's avatar

Everyone knows, chicks dig scars...

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

Any news about the glue protest on roads and runnwayes .? All the stores are out of glue by now in Germany .So then paving companies help out by delivering loads of road tar ,to the protesters .I hear chicken farms want to deliver the feathers .

OMg just deleted my comment by accident, I was expressing my frustration with these Vaxxers and Paxlovid crazy folks for extending this pandemic into perpetuity until their stupidity ends!

Cindi's avatar

Yeah, remember when it was all OUR (unvax’d) fault? Add their filthy shedding too

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

well at least we know who the stoopids are

Bootsorourke's avatar

And we can see them coming by their masks. Either they are Branch Branch Covidians or they are about to shoot or loot

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

You can't use the word mask anymore .After building back better ,it's now snot pouches or snout poaches .Men wearing snout pouches never shave .The beard is growing through the openings in the fabric ,just like the virus does .

Rob (c137)'s avatar

He will enjoy the rebound from the toxic paxlovid.

It's funny how these covidians trust big pharma so much that they won't take the safer ivermectin or hcq.

They also refuse to ever consider the jabs, for the same reason.

"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel found that humans use large parts of thinking power to navigate social world rather than perform independent analysis and decision making. For most people it is the mechanism that, in case of doubt, will prevent one from thinking what is right if, in return, it endangers one’s social status. This phenomenon occurs more strongly the higher a person’s social status. Another factor is that the more educated and more theoretically intelligent a person is, the more their brain is adept at selling them the biggest nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it elevates their social status. The upper educated class tends to be more inclined than ordinary people to chase some intellectual boondoggle. "

You didn't mention instinct and intuition. This is what most people entering parroting classes from Kindergarten to extensive University learning loose. Intuition and common sense.

Check out his cute little pooch sitting right beside him. A very proud countenance exudes from the alert facial expression, tilt of the head, eyes ears, mouth. The doggy looks positively aloof.

Likely because it thinks it too is a Professor... of the doggy world.

Now... how did it come to that conclusion. Instinct and observation thats how. The Human professor has a dim view of humans in general and virtually no friends to consider equal. A dog is the ideal companion for a serious serial hater of Specie Humanu Beingu. But not just any dog a poodle type canine, they of the pampered with attitude kind like since forever.

Da Doggie simply picked up on the professor's treatment of it as an equal and capitalized on it. Since most small or toy poodles are already screwed in the head ( inbreeding ) the nuttier things get the better they like it.

Just a happy couple living in a world of their own.. Happy Days.

It's going to be hell on earth for the spiffy persnickety little doggie if the good Professor exits forever leaving it behind.

There won't be much left of the apartment, house or whatever these two called home. In a recurring fit of rage da pooch will destroy everything, even down to it's own bed and toys.

Wuuu Haaa

He better be keeping his CO2 inside. If he opens the windows and lets it out into the atmosphere we're all gonna die!

Some long covids can grow very long .In a prison setting in New York . A prisoner tied a long covid to a window metal bar instead of bed sheets and escaped rappelling fifty floors down .

Asa Plinch's avatar

Is this Wachter person real or just an AI creation by the Babylon Bee?

RioRosie's avatar

I do hope the Bee staff sees this post.

Michael Nucci's avatar

The bee have said it is getting hard to do satire anymore

Lincoln Microphone LLC's avatar

Batshit insanity... NoVid what kind of idiocy is this? I guess I can consider myself and family in this cohort as none of us have ever tested..

Recall the drive through testing where they were reusing gloves for up to and, possibly, more than 6 times? That means they shoved a probe up someone's nose, did a bunch of button pushing on a tablet, and then used those same gloves to shove a probe up the next car in line driver's nose... none of these people drove off to the ER or hospital, all theater.

CernelJoson's avatar

I started going back to combat sports like BJJ before the first year was even out at a somewhat underground gym. Felt like a speakeasy. Never had Covid that I know of despite three separate times when we were contacted by the gym about someone there getting sick after classes. I recall two instances of respiratory sickness twice for me since 2019 and they were both fairly mild. These neurotic goobers just have a skill issue.

Bootsorourke's avatar

You probably had it and your immune system was efficient

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

That has all changed by new ,since building back better .The old testing up the nose made many retarded ,because the probe went right into the brain .Now all testing is done on the other end that you stick out the car window .The operators of the probes are all qualified mono sexuals ,that means homos .They do the service for free .Men be extra careful not to get pregnant while getting tested .

Tanto Minchiata's avatar

This piece scared me, so I vaccinated - boosted myself for the 32nd time and wrapped my head in Saran Wrap. If I go anywhere I carry a leaf blower and blast anybody looking in my direction. You can never be too careful. I feel better since my vaccination this morning, but started prophylactic intrathecal Remdesivir just in case.

San's avatar

Tanto - 😜😂

Kd's avatar

😅😅😅😅😂🤣🙃🙃🙃

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

No wonder you are sick ,worse than my dog .Remdesivir only works if it gets ventilated with compressed air front and rear .

San's avatar

The term “cultish” comes to mind

Hellwood's avatar

In his defence the same happened to my dad who used to believe that a cold shower will fix all ills and that people who have a heart attack should 'just snap out of it'. He showered cold while down with a bout of the flu, fainted and kind of split his face open. After the ambulance had taken him my mum mopped up his blood, kneeling on the bathroom floor with lots of towels, but slipped forward on his juices and hit her face against the radiator. She too needed medical attention. We lol about it to this day.

Tardigrade's avatar

Moral: always make sure your shower is lukewarm, since both hot and cold are proven to be dangerous.

"Stay tepid! Stay safe!"

Suzy Cue's avatar

I end my showers by turning the water to cool or cold. Feels great! P.S. I thought you liked your showers to be very hot?

Tardigrade's avatar

I would've added a sarcasm emoji, only I don't think one exists.

Jason's avatar

I’ve passed out twice on bathroom floors and it’s scary for sure to wake up and not know what happened. My cases involved getting up quickly to go pee after consuming some alcohol and being at high elevation.

Terry T's avatar

Peeing at high elevation is just asking for trouble!

Jason's avatar

Especially for the people below!!

Yvette Worrall's avatar

Wim Hof would not agree!

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

Peeing at high elevations turns the pee to yellow snow ..No wonder we at low elevations always have to brew our coffee with yellow water .The top of Mt.Everest used to be white ,now it is yellow .and the chinese love it that way .

AndyinBC's avatar

That'll teach you to try to stand up after "consuming alcohol".

Ha ha. Lesson learned.

I keep waiting for a new story to emerge, that humans are not native to this planet which is so obviously inimicable to them.

I don't know, I feel pretty imicable to it! Covidians just have a skill issue.

Susie AH's avatar

I read all your posts but enjoyed this one the least! The subject matter, that man, was so tedious and pompous that I barely managed to get to the end. I just hope I never meet one like him in a medical situation.

eugyppius's avatar

apologies Susie. i think Wachter is a little easier to endure and even entertaining if you imagine that he's an actor in some great farce.

rjt's avatar

You could have replaced your semi-apologetic paragraph with the parentheses with the simple German word "schadenfreude."

As Susie and I can't stomach reading the "Professor-Doctor's" (a German construct, by the way) blog, can we count on you to remain alert for his Paxlovid rebound?

joe stuerzl 85's avatar

TBH, I skimmed through the Wachter screenshots because of that! Made the article all the more fun, knowing already what kind of drivel to expect from from his tweets. It a kind of sport

Is all that shit he does worth the sickness he had. He's spent his daily for 3 years brooding over this to be done in a week.

Paul Ashley's avatar

But quite possibly his getting and recovering from COVID is only the tip of the iceberg of the negative affects of his attempts at mitigation, his masking and jabbing.

RLM RLM's avatar

Yeah he's got 6 shots. If half of them were live he's dead inside of 5 years I'd bet. And he'll probably take multiple more shots
