Afraid of the 'Rona? Take up smoking

Seriously.  Quite frankly, I didn't expect that. Maybe smoking is healthy after all ...


UPDATE 5 August 2021 14:49:  It seems that Bear Bussjaeger posted data confirming this last December (!!!).  It seems an interesting media blackout that word just isn't getting around.  But the data are the data, and this looks legit.

A virus so deadly that smoking will ward it off?

OMG.

Weesa gonna Die! (from the 'socialism' and redistribution and killing fields and totalitarianism but not from the 'Rona.)

Odd that one is... Just sayin...

Yeah, I'd heard that one early on, but I wasn't clear on whether it was due to nicotine, carbon monoxide, or something else.

Kills spike proteins... which people are vaxxing themselves full of.

Eric Wilner said...

Aw, don't worry about the spike proteins! A protein on its own, absent viral DNA or RNA and the structure of a virus, can't be infectious.

Oddly enough, smoking really was healthy way back when. Mosquitoes don't like the smoke, so the smoker was much less likely to die of malaria and such.

I smoked for 42 years, quit in 2005, never looked back. Wouldn't start again for any reason.
