THE ESSENTIAL COVID TRIVIA TEST

1. Where did the COVID virus originate?

a) The Wuhan Institute of Virology

b) From eating bat soup at the Wuhan Wet market

c) No one can say for sure…but it wasn't that Wuhan lab.  We know that much.

2) What is VAERS?

a) It's an early warning system that helps spot possible safety problems with vaccines.

b) VAERS stands for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

c) Never heard of it.

3) What is the average age of someone dying from covid?

a) 82 years old

b) It's very clear by now that COVID is primarily a risk to the elderly and also to people with comorbidities

c) COVID can kill anybody.  That's why anyone over 6 months old should be fully vaccinated.

4) Did Trump recommend drinking bleach to kill the COVID virus?

a) Of course not.

b) Look, I know you hate Trump.  But, c’mon.  NO ONE would say that.

c) Yes he did.

5) Is Hydroxychloroquine an effective early treatment for COVID?

a) Hmmm.  It might be.  Why haven’t there been any clinical trials done on this?

b) It's an FDA approved drug with a great safety record.

c) The guy on Fox news said taking it could kill you.

6) What about Ivermectin? Is THAT an effective early treatment for COVID?

a) Again, it might be.  Hurry up with the clinical trials!

b) The inventors of Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize in 2015…and Ivermectin is on the WHO’s (yes, the World Health Organization’s) list of essential medicines.   

c) Ivermectin is horse paste.  Only an idiot would take it.

7) Was the PCR test accurate?

a) I hate to say it…but it was probably used to overstate the number of COVID cases.

b) The PCR test uses “cycle amplification” to detect the virus.  At a 35 cycle amplification there is virtually no chance that the genetic material being looked at is viral.  For some reason the FDA approved the PCR test be run between 35 and 40 cycles.

c) What in god’s name are you even talking about?

8) Is the home Rapid Antigen Test accurate?

a) Well, the PCR test needed a lab to detect the virus.  But now they have a 15 minute COVID Home Detection kit? C’mon.

b) If you have the symptoms of a cold or the flu, you don't need a test.  You’re sick, stay home.

c) I have a lifetime supply of these RAT tests. The tests show I’ve tested positive for COVID 17 times in the last year. The pandemic is far from over.

9) Should the COVID Vaccines be given to pregnant women?

a) No. If there is one area where there should be extensive long term safety studies, this is it.  And there haven't been ANY long term safety studies on the effect of mRNA shots on pregnant women.

b) No.  Please stop.  The shots should NOT be given to pregnant women or to children under any circumstances.  Do some research.  This needs to stop.

c) Pfizer says it's ok.  So, it must be ok.

10) Are you up to date on your COVID shots?

a) I haven't had any shots.  It's obvious that COVID isn't going to kill me…and, whenever there are rushed,  experimental, mRNA shots being used for the first time, I like to be cautious and wait to see if anything bad happens.

b) Uh, I stupidly believed Fauci and took the first two shots.  But that's it for me.  No more!

c) I booked an appointment for my fifth booster next Tuesday.  And I’m very happy to protect myself and everyone else.

Scoring

Mostly a’s: Good for you.  COVID was the biggest story of the last 3 years.  You’ve done some research.

Mostly b’s: You’ve done some research too.

Mostly c’s - You’re a Democrat. So, believe whatever you want, but when it comes to your health, shouldn't you be a bit more skeptical of what you see on CNN?.
