"My head is so foggy."
Momentum Generation star, Hawaiian surfer, Kalani Robb revealed late last week that he had contracted the Coronavirus and was going to fight it off, in part, by using the popular horse dewormer ivermectin. His inspiration? Famous podcaster Joe Rogan who, himself, used ivermectin as part of a broader cocktail, writing that by day three he felt “pretty fucking good.”
Robb, ever brave, decided to meticulously document his journey. Days one and two featured a discussion of the aforementioned ivermectin, friends dropping healthy foods off at his house, him not being able taste them, headaches, body aches fevers etc. but then, yesterday, worry set in as the diary went dark for five, then ten, then twenty hours.
Fans searching everywhere for updates.
Anywhere.
Finally, in the waning moments of day three, Robb came back and in a to-camera piece described his state.
Day…. (long pause). Day three. My head is so foggy. Been on the couch all day the headache the fever and the bodyaches. Day three bodyaches gone. Fever breaking 100 and going under 99. But my headache is gnarly. Sat on the couch all day watching movies. I wish I was like Ferris Bueller faking this right now. Day three.
Relief washing over like a gentle wave off Streedagh Strand.
I became curious about this ivermectin so went searching for some actual data (read here) then talked to one health expert who informed me, “The data does show some promise that ivermectin works when taken prophylactically. The program that Rogan was on, though, with the monoclonal antibodies specifically… that is very expensive unless you have an underlying comorbidity. Look, don’t get vaccinated and treat yourself all day long. Just don’t go to the fucking hospital if it doesn’t work.”
The expert neither is, nor was, a professional surfer so take with a large grain of salt.

Define ‘survival’
has Kalani scrubbed those posts from his IG? was genuinely looking forward to an update.
Can confirm this. Was sitting next to a fatty eating a Double McBacon Cheezy Baconator. He sneezed on me and now I’m fat!
“homo-like” should be hyphenated.
And a period after “knowledge” not a semi-colon.
It is proper spelling and grammar that distinguish us from the Mongol races.
Cabbage and probiotics diet.
My 97 y/o Mother caught the COVID, and when asked why she beat it, “It was all the cabbage I ate” she said. Might be some truth to a good diet ~ ~ ~
Not an antibiotic moron, anti viral. Been taken by humans billions of times and is approved by the FDA and WHO. Japanese guy who pioneered given nobel prize in 2015. In fact, Afghan refugees arriving in US are being given Ivermectin. Doctors world wide endorse it and India since using has pretty much wiped out Covid.
maybe not quite as clear cut as that…

Survival rate is not the same as unvaxxed dipshits who go to the hospital cause they got the “same thing as the flu” and then beg to be treated by western medicine.
People need to stop using that analogy. Since when are eating cheeseburgers, getting hit by lighting or a drunk driver communicable diseases? You’d like to believe that if you offered an obese person a 90% chance that they would not hospitalized and end up intubated or at worst, die an early or horrendous death by taking a jab …that they would.
And in theory… let me get this straight. Anti-Vaxxers don’t trust big pharm and western medicine in general. But.. if they get Covid and are gasping for breath.. they call an ambulance to take them to a Western Hospital to be treated by the same individuals who believe in and practice western medicine and THEN agree to be treated with Western Meds created by the same companies that they refuse to take the jab from? Explain to me lucidly how the fuck that works? I have a shitload of respect for anti-vaxxers who refused to get jabbed, refused to go to the hospital and climbed up and died on their hill on their own at home.
What Meds, oxygen?
Z packs, steroids, Remdesivir. I’d explain them to you… but you’re an uneducated knob. If you don’t believe in them… don’t go to a fucking hospital. You can instead buy individual oxygen canisters off Amazon or just go sit outside in the sun and absorb some fresh air and Vitamin D and rub patchouli oil on your chest hippie.
Stress is what will kill you
Lol you need to chill the fuck out
Asset management group owns media. Asset management group owns large share in Pfizer and Glaxo-Smith-Klein and others. Media says experts warn against using proven, non-patented ‘horse de-wormer’. Media says you must take vaccine.
There’s something else you can take as a preventative for Covid. It’s called a vaccine you stupid cunts.
Woah, somones had their angry pills
The clot shot. No thanks.

So many ifs and buts
I’m just a wave buoy. What would I know?
what , you didn’t take your drone?
Yep, or a kid who gets bounced off a trampoline and breaks his arm… “you knew the risks, fix it yourself!”
Neighbor to kid and parents… You know if you put up this safety net around your trampoline… you now have a 90% chance of not breaking your arm. Kid and parents go “fuck it… I’m young and healthy and strong… I don’t need no fucking net.” “My kid is no pussy and sheep. He don’t need no fucking net.” Kid falls off and breaks his arm and is crying uncontrollably like a bitch. Should he get treated at a hospital. Yes. Do I feel sorry for the kid or parents? Nope.
You vaxx heads are a bunch of uptight knobs
Just like Donald Trump – who 1) Fast tracked the Vaccine development and protocol. 2) Got vaccinated himself. 3) Just encouraged people to get vaccinated and in his exact words said “Vaccines Work.” What a fucking idiot.
Shame they don’t work too good
Not his fault.
They don’t work too good? But he just endorsed their usage a week ago? Like I said.. Trump is a fucktard.
You know he’s not Pres right?
Ah ok. So you only listen to people who are the President huh? So what he said mattered when he was the President but he’s not the Pres now so what he says doesn’t count? Genius train of thought.
You should let it go
Bad for your mental health
Just be glad Trump is gone and stifled.
That’s the silver lining in Coronavirus.
It swept Trump from office.
Thanks
must suck to get sent in at lowers by Malia Ward….
But maybe nice to get sent in to be sucked by Malia Ward
High powered surf industry exec? Can someone please define that? Last i heard every surf company in the USA is broke ass broke, so it can’t be because they run a highly profitabe company. And all those pussies who sell overpriced surf trunks to the masses at Costco drive Sprinter Vans, hardly a high powered vehicle. So can someone please give me a name of high powered surf exec please? And don’t start with Yvon “Let my people surf” Chouniard, the biggest kook of them all.
Have you read his book? It’s shit!!
Fuck no, but I do know not should be titled “ let my people surf, just not where I surf, because I live on the ranch amd we have restricted public access, flog surf with my people somewhere else”. I won’t give that kook a dime. Nor Jerry and his Chinese surfboards. Environmental ambassadors…. Haha
Just go jump in the ocean kalani you will feel heaps better, always works you know it does
We always used to say “Surf a cold, sleep a flu.”
Don’t know about Covid.
Ohhhh Noooo, sounds like common influenza to me! But really, all you candy ass mf’s wear a mask because you’re definitely a bitch.
Yeah i got a headache i cant go to work today is what it sounds like
Work being playing in the ocean with a bunch of other adult children. I love when celebrities get COVID and give us plebs a peek into their “struggle”.
The link Chas provided is very technical and pretty hard reading, but the important part in easy to read terms is in the Conclusion about 3/4 of the way down.
“Conclusion
Ivermectin is an effective treatment for CoViD-19.
The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 63 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 1 trillion.”
Then there’s more technical info etc. as well as a few easy to understand things like “early treatment is more successful”.
But in short, the key part of the conclusion of those studies is…
“Ivermectin is an effective treatment for CoViD-19.”
P.S.
The popular reference that Ivermectin is used as a horse de-wormer is like saying that penicillin is only used for bovine mastitis in cows…
The link Chas shared is dubious at best. To quote the British Medical Journal “Different websites (such as https://ivmmeta.com/….. have conducted meta-analyses with ivermectin studies, showing unpublished colourful forest plots which rapidly gained public acknowledgement and were disseminated via social media…..This is usually a problem when performing meta-analyses which are not based in rigorous systematic reviews, often leading to spread spurious or fallacious findings.” https://ebm.bmj.com/content…
And best of luck to Kalani, regardless of his choices.
just wondering how you see Kalani prepared to take ivermectin , but not vaccinate …..que?
20/20 hindsight
Excellent! This post is spot on! Now I’m ready for some bbq beef & an ice cold beer.
Ivermectin Generation
Healthcare in our country is shit; going to a clinic is often prohibitively expensive; one feels like they always need to be on-guard against quacks and pill-pushers.
But the vaccine is fucking free! Just take it! We’re all first-world cunts anyway. Don’t be an asshole, too. It’s okay to take care of yourself and your neighbors. You can be vaccinated and still be batshit crazy. It won’t make you gay. You can be vaccinated and still be a dirty haole surf nazi. No one will take away your conspiracy bona fides.
