I'm glad to put this past year to bed. Actually all the years since, say, 2020. Next year promises to be a doozy, but at least we have a fighting chance. I'd say, get out the popcorn, but now that I'm reading Good Energy by Casey Means, I'm reevaluating. Anyhoo, whatever happens, JM will be making our sides split at the absurdity of it all. Instead of taking ridiculously named expensive and dangerous concoctions conjured up by the mad scientists of industry, we all know that laughter is the best medicine. So here's to you, Jenna, one of the best things to come out of all of this madness. A spoonful of Jenna makes the medicine of truth go down! Ask yourself (not your clueless doctor) if Jenna McCarthy is right for you.
I wasn’t going to make comment today but finishing reading your piece here, I can’t help but chime in & Thank you for your piquantly Witty & Sarcastically accurate portrayal of the days happenings & of the latest drug we all need to stock up on.!! NoBrainsatal..!!!
*(hitting my head with the heel of my hand,
“Geez, I coulda had a NoBrainsatal.!)
And your short vid was Too Adorable & wonderful.! Thank You Jenna, for
reminding me to not just be in a funky rage over what’s happening.. (I Speak Smart-Ass too; English is my second language.!)
Ya’havta be able to laugh at it too and your writing is a splendid reminder of that.!
Let me say up front that I literally record everything I watch from television. So, I’m either watching something that is streaming where I can usually fast forward through the stupid commercials (except for a lot stuff on Prime, so I just mute that stupidity), or I’m watching something recorded, thus eliminating the pestiferous and irritating commercials.
However, the other day during a football game I was in the kitchen making lunch or something and the commercial break began, and I was out of reach to FF through it immediately. So, in the background, I’m hearing an ad for something called “Pluvicto,” conveniently and expensively provided by Novartis, whoever that is. Turns out that this is a drug for prostate cancer, and there’s no making light of anything to do with cancer.
But as I listened to this ad in the background, I became highly aware of the multitude of warnings and side effects of this wonder drug. The announcer, in his best pleasant voicing, went on and on and on, and I became interested in just how many of these there were.
So, I came back to the TV, rewound the recording to the beginning of the ad and began to write down the seemingly never-ending list of things that could or might go wrong with the wonder drug, Pluvicto. So, here’s the entire list of warnings and possible side effects:
• Contact with radioactivity (which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm)
• You should drink plenty of fluids
• May cause a man to urinate often
• You should use contraception
• Exposing others to harmful radiation during and after treatment
• Could cause low levels of blood cell counts
• Kidney problems
• Infertility
• You may experience weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising more easily, an infection and changes in urination
Side effects include all the following:
• Tiredness
• Dry mouth
• Nausea, appetite loss
• Constipation
And one final caveat at the end of the commercial: “These are not all the risks of Pluvicto.”
Holy smokes! All of the above and that’s not even all of the risks?! Wow, why wouldn’t you want to go into deep debt when this is all you have to be concerned about?
As I thought about just how many warnings were issued with this wonder drug, I wondered just how much of the commercial time it took to say all of this. This was a 60-second commercial, and the warnings and side effects took 27 of those seconds. A full 45% of the entire commercial time is spent explaining not even all the things that could go wrong when you are taking this drug. And this is just one example of hundreds that are out there from Big Pharma, all for your better health!
I remember really early on, it had to have been sometime in 2021, I saw a video of a customer confronting a pharmacist somewhere, demanding to see the package insert. When the pharmacist finally & reluctantly handed it over, it was literally blank. I was not surprised but at the time I wasn’t sure if the video & blank insert were real or not. But after 4+ years of abuse we’ve all been through, I believe it
These things were packaged in 5 jab vials. Almost unheard of. With very specific directions on how to thaw them and mix the contents so each jab was consistent. Do you really think all those jab jockeys in Walmart or Walgreens followed those detailed instructions? I doubt it, so some most certainly got more mRNA while others got little. Explains some of the damages?
No doubt, esp the unmaintained temps. I think it’s also been proven that, depending on manufacture site, some lots were “hotter” / more contaminated than others. And those supposedly were mostly shipped to red states. IDK if that’s true or not but given this demonic administration & their “mandates”, I’d lean into believing it
Probably... but also recall, they DIDN'T TEST them beforehand, so didn't have any list of effects to detail until they started trickling in from the "test subjects."
I might be misremembering, but it’s my recollection that they didn’t formally test, or the test period was very limited in # of subjects & length of time, & then they vax’d the control group almost immediately to erase any comparison. But they KNEW the test animals always died & they knew the side effects before the rollout & then mandates. That would ‘splain why they wanted their “research” & results hidden for 75 years, I believe.
I remember when those direct-to-consumer ads first started here they didn’t list all the side effects. In fact, the ads were pretty vague. Lots of happy people going about their lives, and a narrator implying that those lives were better because of the latest, greatest new drug. So “ask your doctor if Im-too-gullible is right for you.”
I wondered why they were so vague at the time. How do I know if I should ‘ask my doctor’ if they don’t tell me what it will do for me? I half seriously considered keeping a list of the meds so I could ask the doctor at my next visit.
I heard that the vagueness was intentional. That the government would require them to include the info about side effects if they told you why you might want to take the drug.
Then somewhere along the line, things changed. Drug companies got much more specific about why you ‘need’ the drug and we started getting these mind numbing lists of possible adverse effects. I wondered why ANYONE with a brain would ever take any of these poisons. And why the pHarma companies would include these lists. I concluded that the drug industry had balanced the pros and cons and reluctantly accepted the government edict that they had to declare the possible bad along with the purported good.
It was still a bit confusing; so one boring day I went looking for some answers. How do the pHarma pushers feel about these required declarations? Are the sped-up verbal declarations and the tiny print at the bottom of the screen their way of minimizing the required exposure? I expected to find articles about how they hated it, but they had to do it because … you know … those nasty government requirements.
Instead I found an article about how they were pretty much leaning into those declarations to protect themselves. Now, to be fair, I’m not sure this ( https://www.peoplespharmacy.com/articles/why-do-drug-companies-love-long-lists-of-side-effects ) is the same article I read several years ago, but the information provided is pretty much the same. Bottom-line: the pHarma companies don’t mind having to include the declarations and they actually feel that by listing even some of the possible effects they can protect themselves against future litigation. Besides, “people tend to zone out after about the tenth or eleventh side effect anyway.”
It turns out that for legal purposes, all the drug companies have to do is make sure to give the prescribers and pharmacists access to the information.
If a commercial warns the consumer, provider, or pharmacist about the possible complications (organ failure, heart attack, diseases, possible cancers, etc.) the company could be off the hook when such complications occur. “What are you complaining about? We told you your foot might fall off!”
Even if a TV commercial doesn’t list all possible effects, the company could still avoid litigation because the doctor has access to the prescribing information. If he doesn’t tell his patient about all the possible effects, drug companies could argue the doctor is at least partially at fault.
So there you go. What looked like something meant to protect the consumer has been turned around to protect pHarma. Quelle surprise!
Because they don't pay for it. Insurance companies, especially for the poor, pay for it and are part of the scam. Having "ms", a scam imo, I've been exposed over 35 years to the multitude of new wonder drugs, used to be almost always 8k a month, that did nothing. But heard continually, you're not getting worse, it's saving you. I now take no ms drugs except muscle relaxers put out yrs ago and super cheap. (Baclofen) I haven't walked in 9 years but due to surgeries (hammer toe and Achilles tendon lengthening) performed due to my ignorance and physician desire to make $$. I walked for years, albeit painfully after useless toe surgery. Achilles tendon lengthening did me in because dr refused to deviate from "standard protocol", my muscles wasted and I have severe scoliosis now. And you no longer can sue Dr's or get compensated. But they can destroy you for telling the truth, like vaccines. When I get my act together and start writing on here, this is on of "my" areas!!
Jane, please, please, "get your act together." Your wide world is waiting. (Your story makes me weep for you and all who've been put through this 'mill'; I've lost two good friends to MS. I will offer a prayer for you--insignificant as it is--that your way ahead will be, at least, clear-eyed.)
Jane, God bless you, and your story when you start writing will very likely help some new people see the light before it causes them the harm you suffer.
As your example makes clear, pharma ads aren't selling the drugs; they're buying the media. While I hope RFK Jr gets the ads out, the climate scammers pioneered a new path: grants. Now they can buy the media and hardly anyone even knows it happened.
As the saying goes - no matter how much you think hate the media, it isn't enough.
I can’t help but wonder if banning pharma ads will in any way change the safe and effective narrative. Does it even matter at this point? MSM is in its death throes (thank the Lord).
When ads are banned, news media will continue to avoid negative coverage of pharma and the drugs they make. Pharma pays HHS/DARPA and some of it's employees royalties on the drugs pharma sells. HHSDARPA also pays the media for the correct messaging. The financial incentive still exists even if ads are banned.
lol that was hilarious. Happy New Year Jenna and followers of Jenna! If there is anyone that could teach us to speak dolphin and create a new color, it would be Jenna! Thank you again for an awesome year of laughter, tears, and awareness!
Methinks that the pharmaceutical complex is just one giant tentacle of the much larger deep state sea creature that is continuously vying to dominate our society. The "news" will never report honestly on the pharmaceutical industry, on the military industrial complex, and/or the government because it's all the same entity. It's all controlled. Stopping pharmaceutical ads would be a great step in the right direction, but the attack on our lives and on objective reality in general won't stop until propagandizing the American public is made illegal.
With all that being said, I'm looking forward to 2025, to hopefully a year of continued awakening, compassion, and love. Happy New Year everyone!
As a physician who remembers the era BEFORE direct to consumer advertising of pharmaceutical products, I can assure you that Jenna's statements are spot on! Imagine how many folks with psoriasis, diabetes, obesity, erectile dysfunction, depression, and countless other conditions insist on a prescription for a drug advertised on TV, without any ability to critically analyze the pros and cons of this new, invariable expensive, and often "non inferior" med to the one(s) already safely in use. Yup you got that right; many times the criteria for FDA approval is a "non inferiority" result without much concern for specific safety issues or a cost/benefit analysis related to existing alternative medicines. How I pine for those earlier days!
The media are shills for BIG PHARMA and any consumer who thinks otherwise is sadly naive.
Don't blindly trust a (your?) doctor in his recommendations; do your own research. You have more time and are more invested in your health than s/he is. And be careful with your research, of course. Conflicts of interest, etc.
Haven't watched MSM in years, no streaming services, rarely even on my computer, however; a massive LED billboard at the local mega casino periodically runs an ad that simply says; "Wherever you are, ask about Farxiga". That's it. That's the whole ad. Nothing about what it is or does. Not even any fine print.
FIRST OF ALL, that is hands-down the worst drug name ever. Also:
FARXIGA can cause serious side effects, including:
Diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in your blood or urine) in people with type 1 diabetes and other ketoacidosis. FARXIGA can cause ketoacidosis that can be life-threatening and may lead to death. Ketoacidosis is a serious condition which needs to be treated in a hospital. People with type 1 diabetes have a high risk of getting ketoacidosis. People with type 2 diabetes or pancreas problems also have an increased risk of getting ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis can also happen in people who: are sick, cannot eat or drink as usual, skip meals, are on a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates (ketogenic diet), take less than the usual amount of insulin or miss insulin doses, drink too much alcohol, have a loss of too much fluid from the body (volume depletion), or who have surgery. Ketoacidosis can happen even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. Your healthcare provider may ask you to periodically check ketones in your urine or blood.
Stop taking FARXIGA and call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you get any of the following. If possible, check for ketones in your urine or blood, even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL.
nausea
vomiting
stomach area (abdominal) pain
tiredness
trouble breathing
ketones in your urine or blood
Dehydration. FARXIGA can cause some people to become dehydrated (the loss of body water and salt). Dehydration may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak, especially when you stand up (orthostatic hypotension). There have been reports of sudden kidney injury in people with type 2 diabetes who are taking FARXIGA. You may be at a higher risk of dehydration if you:
take medicines to lower your blood pressure, including water pills (diuretics)
are on a low-salt diet
have kidney problems
are 65 years of age or older
Talk to your healthcare provider about what you can do to prevent dehydration including how much fluid you should drink on a daily basis. Call your healthcare provider right away if you reduce the amount of food or liquid you drink. For example, if you cannot eat or you start to lose liquids from your body, such as with vomiting, diarrhea, or being in the sun too long.
Vaginal yeast infection. Women who take FARXIGA may get vaginal yeast infections. Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include:
vaginal odor
white or yellowish vaginal discharge (discharge may be lumpy or look like cottage cheese)
vaginal itching
Yeast infection of the penis (balanitis). Swelling of an uncircumcised penis may develop that makes it difficult to pull back the skin around the tip of the penis. Other symptoms of yeast infection of the penis include:
redness, itching, or swelling of the penis
foul smelling discharge from the penis
rash of the penis
pain in the skin around the penis
Talk to your healthcare provider about what to do if you get symptoms of a yeast infection of the vagina or penis. Your healthcare provider may suggest you use an over-the-counter antifungal medicine. Talk to your healthcare provider right away if you use an over-the-counter antifungal medication and your symptoms do not go away.
Wow, yes, the side effects of the drugs on these commercials make it seem like the cure is worse than the disease. And yet we laugh at the ridiculousness of the 'blood-letting' cures in the middle ages.
I fairness, doesn't every drug have a similar warning? I've always figured that it was just a CYA for the manufacturers.
I'm a carpenter- plywood, (and a million other things), is stamped; "The State of CA has determined that this product contains ingredients which may cause cancer." At some point it becomes meaningless.
Effen eh. I knew your read wud be better than a new years peck from some drunk stranger. So much fun truth! Appreciate you. Happy new 2025. May you continue to bless us with your writing. Fabulous humor. I am on a journey from Penticton BC Canada to Yuma AZ. Via motorhome. My mom 94 year young mom and I just completed day 5 of our 7 day trip to get there. Snow, wind, rain , more wind, and two days of glorious sunshine. 2 days away from a g n t in the desert.
OMgosh. I just super-like you. You need a spot on Rob Schneider's new "The Right View" or whatever the anti-venom is going to be named. I would watch THAT show.
"If Sheepacil were dangerous or deadly, MSNBC wouldn’t promote it!"
Happy New Year! (and all that jazz) While it may be tiring considering what the past four years have entailed, I am suggesting that we strive toward 2025 being the year of 'eternal vigilance' with regard to the wisdom that this is what the price of freedom entails. While I presume most of us are not feeling too celebratory yet, I don't intend to be too stern or curmudgeonly so successes need to be celebrated, but I think we have a good idea at this point the beast we're dealing with. The pedal needs to stick to the metal.
I certainly say this for myself because, man, I wish I could keep up your ability to sustain a sardonic/sarcastic humorous disposition like you do. I appreciate your capacity to continue putting out phrases like, "I didn't just buy this book, I memorized it," and the "if it were true. . ." Alex Jones meme. Kudos! You've kept up your game consistently when everyone needs to be able to laugh at all of this insane horse crap, or perhaps more appropriately, gigantic cow pies. Thank you, and onward we must go!
I detailed how Trump's nominees were being savaged and compared their alleged sins to the horrors being committed by the people they would be replacing in the Biden administration. You know they are terrified of being prosecuted for their crimes. However, I think RFK Jr. is the most terrifying because he promised to upend EVERYTHING regarding health.
Of all the ups and downs of 2024, we should all pat ourselves on the back BECAUSE WE SAVED AMERICA! Our ancestors are proud!
Happy New Year with health and wealth to you and your family Jenna.
Today, today! I learned of 3 turbo cancers in people I know! A recent pharm ad for metastatic breast cancer is called Enhertu! Are you kidding me? In her too? I can’t wait to never see a pharma ad again!
God bless you Jenna, your stack brings out the snark in me! 😘
It does not help that Nobrainsatol comes in an aerial form that can be distributed by media and absorbed through the eyes and ears at extremely low cost per dose at scale. Extremely popular with Big ThisandThats, especially Government Agencies everywhere.
I'm glad to put this past year to bed. Actually all the years since, say, 2020. Next year promises to be a doozy, but at least we have a fighting chance.

So here's to you, Jenna, one of the best things to come out of all of this madness. A spoonful of Jenna makes the medicine of truth go down! Ask yourself (not your clueless doctor) if Jenna McCarthy is right for you.
Hahahahaha I LOVE THIS COMMENT! Also, let's have a contest: "Side effects of consuming Jenna McCarthy material may include..."

yes, side effects is at least one good laugh! But also appreciation for you being brave enough to tell your truth!
Fo’Sho’ Laughter will be Involved..!🤣LoL.!

Passing on Jenna’s humorous writings. It’s gotta be good to forewarn. Regularity forwarded.
Let me say up front that I literally record everything I watch from television. So, I’m either watching something that is streaming where I can usually fast forward through the stupid commercials (except for a lot stuff on Prime, so I just mute that stupidity), or I’m watching something recorded, thus eliminating the pestiferous and irritating commercials.

So, I came back to the TV, rewound the recording to the beginning of the ad and began to write down the seemingly never-ending list of things that could or might go wrong with the wonder drug, Pluvicto. So, here’s the entire list of warnings and possible side effects:
• Contact with radioactivity (which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm)
• You should drink plenty of fluids
• May cause a man to urinate often
• You should use contraception
• Exposing others to harmful radiation during and after treatment
• Could cause low levels of blood cell counts
• Kidney problems
• Infertility
• You may experience weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising more easily, an infection and changes in urination
Side effects include all the following:
• Tiredness
• Dry mouth
• Nausea, appetite loss
• Constipation
And one final caveat at the end of the commercial: “These are not all the risks of Pluvicto.”
Holy smokes! All of the above and that’s not even all of the risks?! Wow, why wouldn’t you want to go into deep debt when this is all you have to be concerned about?
As I thought about just how many warnings were issued with this wonder drug, I wondered just how much of the commercial time it took to say all of this.

And this is just one example of hundreds that are out there from Big Pharma, all for your better health!
And remember, there were NEVER any warnings whatsoever for the scamdemic wonder jab. The ONLY language for that was/is “safe & effective”
I wonder if "not having to detail side effects" is part of the EUA? Interesting...
I remember really early on, it had to have been sometime in 2021, I saw a video of a customer confronting a pharmacist somewhere, demanding to see the package insert. When the pharmacist finally & reluctantly handed it over, it was literally blank. I was not surprised but at the time I wasn’t sure if the video & blank insert were real or not. But after 4+ years of abuse we’ve all been through, I believe it

And those supposedly were mostly shipped to red states. IDK if that’s true or not but given this demonic administration & their “mandates”, I’d lean into believing it
That was Moderna: "Intentionally Blank", I believe, was written on the large piece of paper enclosed in plastic.
Probably... but also recall, they DIDN'T TEST them beforehand, so didn't have any list of effects to detail until they started trickling in from the "test subjects."
I might be misremembering, but it’s my recollection that they didn’t formally test, or the test period was very limited in # of subjects & length of time, & then they vax’d the control group almost immediately to erase any comparison. But they KNEW the test animals always died & they knew the side effects before the rollout & then mandates. That would ‘splain why they wanted their “research” & results hidden for 75 years, I believe.
FDA is asking a court AGAIN to hide jab data until 2096.
And I’m sure they’re shopping for just the right NOnummer-appointed Marxist judge to green light that.
I remember when those direct-to-consumer ads first started here they didn’t list all the side effects. In fact, the ads were pretty vague. Lots of happy people going about their lives, and a narrator implying that those lives were better because of the latest, greatest new drug. So “ask your doctor if Im-too-gullible is right for you.”

Yep, exactly. RFK, Jr.'s leadership at HHS can't come too soon.
Here's hoping...
Because they don't pay for it. Insurance companies, especially for the poor, pay for it and are part of the scam. Having "ms", a scam imo, I've been exposed over 35 years to the multitude of new wonder drugs, used to be almost always 8k a month, that did nothing.

Jane, please, please, "get your act together." Your wide world is waiting. (Your story makes me weep for you and all who've been put through this 'mill'; I've lost two good friends to MS. I will offer a prayer for you--insignificant as it is--that your way ahead will be, at least, clear-eyed.)
Prayers are always significant imo, and greatly appreciated! God is for us!
Amen to that. Do thou go and delight Him.
Jane, God bless you, and your story when you start writing will very likely help some new people see the light before it causes them the harm you suffer.
yes, I supposed they are forced to at least share a certain percentage of side effects.
All of these new drugs are poison.
As your example makes clear, pharma ads aren't selling the drugs; they're buying the media. While I hope RFK Jr gets the ads out, the climate scammers pioneered a new path: grants. Now they can buy the media and hardly anyone even knows it happened.
As the saying goes - no matter how much you think hate the media, it isn't enough.
Happy new year, dear Jenna!
I can’t help but wonder if banning pharma ads will in any way change the safe and effective narrative. Does it even matter at this point? MSM is in its death throes (thank the Lord).
Loved your family video 🥰🥰🥰

I used to be fairly isolated from the drug ads because I watch mostly streaming but now they are infecting the streaming. Even pausing, gives an ad.
Happy New Year! I didn’t discover you until sometime this past year. Keep up the hilarious and important work.
I have seen GSK ads on X.
Well, I don’t see those because I’m not on X.
As a physician who remembers the era BEFORE direct to consumer advertising of pharmaceutical products, I can assure you that Jenna's statements are spot on! Imagine how many folks with psoriasis, diabetes, obesity, erectile dysfunction, depression, and countless other conditions insist on a prescription for a drug advertised on TV, without any ability to critically analyze the pros and cons of this new, invariable expensive, and often "non inferior" med to the one(s) already safely in use. Yup you got that right; many times the criteria for FDA approval is a "non inferiority" result without much concern for specific safety issues or a cost/benefit analysis related to existing alternative medicines. How I pine for those earlier days!
The media are shills for BIG PHARMA and any consumer who thinks otherwise is sadly naive.

Appreciate your professional perspective! :)
Don't blindly trust a (your?) doctor in his recommendations; do your own research. You have more time and are more invested in your health than s/he is. And be careful with your research, of course. Conflicts of interest, etc.
Haven't watched MSM in years, no streaming services, rarely even on my computer, however; a massive LED billboard at the local mega casino periodically runs an ad that simply says; "Wherever you are, ask about Farxiga". That's it. That's the whole ad. Nothing about what it is or does. Not even any fine print.
FIRST OF ALL, that is hands-down the worst drug name ever. Also:
FARXIGA can cause serious side effects, including:
Diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in your blood or urine) in people with type 1 diabetes and other ketoacidosis. FARXIGA can cause ketoacidosis that can be life-threatening and may lead to death. Ketoacidosis is a serious condition which needs to be treated in a hospital. People with type 1 diabetes have a high risk of getting ketoacidosis. People with type 2 diabetes or pancreas problems also have an increased risk of getting ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis can also happen in people who: are sick, cannot eat or drink as usual, skip meals, are on a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates (ketogenic diet), take less than the usual amount of insulin or miss insulin doses, drink too much alcohol, have a loss of too much fluid from the body (volume depletion), or who have surgery. Ketoacidosis can happen even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. Your healthcare provider may ask you to periodically check ketones in your urine or blood.
Stop taking FARXIGA and call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you get any of the following. If possible, check for ketones in your urine or blood, even if your blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL.
nausea
vomiting
stomach area (abdominal) pain
tiredness
trouble breathing
ketones in your urine or blood
Dehydration. FARXIGA can cause some people to become dehydrated (the loss of body water and salt). Dehydration may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak, especially when you stand up (orthostatic hypotension). There have been reports of sudden kidney injury in people with type 2 diabetes who are taking FARXIGA. You may be at a higher risk of dehydration if you:
take medicines to lower your blood pressure, including water pills (diuretics)
are on a low-salt diet
have kidney problems
are 65 years of age or older
Talk to your healthcare provider about what you can do to prevent dehydration including how much fluid you should drink on a daily basis. Call your healthcare provider right away if you reduce the amount of food or liquid you drink. For example, if you cannot eat or you start to lose liquids from your body, such as with vomiting, diarrhea, or being in the sun too long.
Vaginal yeast infection. Women who take FARXIGA may get vaginal yeast infections. Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include:
vaginal odor
white or yellowish vaginal discharge (discharge may be lumpy or look like cottage cheese)
vaginal itching
Yeast infection of the penis (balanitis). Swelling of an uncircumcised penis may develop that makes it difficult to pull back the skin around the tip of the penis. Other symptoms of yeast infection of the penis include:
redness, itching, or swelling of the penis
foul smelling discharge from the penis
rash of the penis
pain in the skin around the penis
Talk to your healthcare provider about what to do if you get symptoms of a yeast infection of the vagina or penis. Your healthcare provider may suggest you use an over-the-counter antifungal medicine. Talk to your healthcare provider right away if you use an over-the-counter antifungal medication and your symptoms do not go away.
Wow, yes, the side effects of the drugs on these commercials make it seem like the cure is worse than the disease. And yet we laugh at the ridiculousness of the 'blood-letting' cures in the middle ages.
And all the side effects are listed while "happy" music is played in the background with smiling faces on all the actors. It's nauseating!
I fairness, doesn't every drug have a similar warning? I've always figured that it was just a CYA for the manufacturers.
I'm a carpenter- plywood, (and a million other things), is stamped; "The State of CA has determined that this product contains ingredients which may cause cancer." At some point it becomes meaningless.
Seriously?
Effen eh. I knew your read wud be better than a new years peck from some drunk stranger. So much fun truth! Appreciate you. Happy new 2025. May you continue to bless us with your writing. Fabulous humor. I am on a journey from Penticton BC Canada to Yuma AZ. Via motorhome. My mom 94 year young mom and I just completed day 5 of our 7 day trip to get there. Snow, wind, rain , more wind, and two days of glorious sunshine. 2 days away from a g n t in the desert.
LOL! Safe travels. Happy new year.😊
OMgosh. I just super-like you. You need a spot on Rob Schneider's new "The Right View" or whatever the anti-venom is going to be named. I would watch THAT show.
"If Sheepacil were dangerous or deadly, MSNBC wouldn’t promote it!"
I'm SO DOWN! :)
Quoting either of the Means twins is problematic for me even though I agree with the comment in this piece.
Please research these 2 individuals. What you discover will be quite interesting. Just saying.
You're not the first to say this... source? I'm so curious!
I almost hurt myself upon reading 'Sheepacil' 😂😂😖😅
I'm a simpleton. My bad.
🤣🤣🤣
Happy New Year! (and all that jazz) While it may be tiring considering what the past four years have entailed, I am suggesting that we strive toward 2025 being the year of 'eternal vigilance' with regard to the wisdom that this is what the price of freedom entails. While I presume most of us are not feeling too celebratory yet, I don't intend to be too stern or curmudgeonly so successes need to be celebrated, but I think we have a good idea at this point the beast we're dealing with. The pedal needs to stick to the metal.
I certainly say this for myself because, man, I wish I could keep up your ability to sustain a sardonic/sarcastic humorous disposition like you do. I appreciate your capacity to continue putting out phrases like, "I didn't just buy this book, I memorized it," and the "if it were true. . ." Alex Jones meme. Kudos! You've kept up your game consistently when everyone needs to be able to laugh at all of this insane horse crap, or perhaps more appropriately, gigantic cow pies. Thank you, and onward we must go!
YOU are the reason that I do this! I appreciate your appreciation more than you’ll ever know. Happy new year. Here’s to more laughs ahead…😊
I detailed how Trump's nominees were being savaged and compared their alleged sins to the horrors being committed by the people they would be replacing in the Biden administration. You know they are terrified of being prosecuted for their crimes. However, I think RFK Jr. is the most terrifying because he promised to upend EVERYTHING regarding health.
Of all the ups and downs of 2024, we should all pat ourselves on the back BECAUSE WE SAVED AMERICA! Our ancestors are proud!
Happy New Year with health and wealth to you and your family Jenna.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Today, today! I learned of 3 turbo cancers in people I know! A recent pharm ad for metastatic breast cancer is called Enhertu! Are you kidding me? In her too? I can’t wait to never see a pharma ad again!
God bless you Jenna, your stack brings out the snark in me! 😘
Bring on the Snark my friend! It is so needed… I am sorry for your friends… My heart.😭
Here's to more dancing Cheetahs in 2025!!
Thanks for keeping it real Jenna.
I know entirely too many people addicted to Nobrainsatol. So. Very. Sad. Happy New Year to you and yours!
It does not help that Nobrainsatol comes in an aerial form that can be distributed by media and absorbed through the eyes and ears at extremely low cost per dose at scale. Extremely popular with Big ThisandThats, especially Government Agencies everywhere.
More regulation is definitely needed.
