    Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart has breakthrough COVID infection

    The “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” star took to Instagram (from bed) to tell followers “it’s bad” and that she thinks she may have caught it from one of her kids.

    Of course recently she appeared to be at Disney with family.. so it’s anyone’s guess, including the teenager witch herself, really doesn’t know?

    Melissa Joan Hart, who is fully vaccinated, reveals breakthrough COVID  infection, warns others to 'stay vigilant' - ABC7 Chicago

    “I am vaccinated and I got COVID and it’s bad,” she said. “It’s weighing on my chest. It’s hard to breathe. One of my kids, I think, has it so far. I’m praying that the other ones are okay.”

    She continued: “I’m mad, really mad, because we tried and we took precautions and we cut our exposure by a lot but we got a little bit lazy, and I think as a country we got a little lazy, and I’m really mad that my kids didn’t have to wear a mask at school. I’m pretty sure that’s where this came from. I just really hope my husband and the other ones don’t get it, because if someone has to be taken to the hospital, I can’t go with them.”

    Hart says she’s not trying to be political with her post, she’s just sharing an update on her health.

    “I wanted to share this with all of you. I’m not posting this to be political or gain pity, I just want to share my journey. This isn’t up for debate, it’s just how I feel today on my page,” she wrote.

  • MISSISSIPPI: Poison control calls spike as people take livestock dewormer to treat COVID-19!

    MISSISSIPPI: Poison control calls spike as people take livestock dewormer to treat COVID-19!

    DATELINE MISSISSIPPI:

    JACKSON, Miss. (WMC) – The Mississippi State Department of Health sent a health alert Friday warning health care providers about a drug used to deworm livestock that some are using to treat and prevent COVID-19. According to the alert, the Mississippi Poison Control Center has received several calls related to the ingestion of ivermectin meant for livestock, which is causing illness in COVID-19 patients. Ivermectin is approved for use in both people and animals, but animal drugs are highly concentrated and can be highly toxic in humans. According to the health alert:

    • No one has been hospitalized due to ingestion of the drug.
    • At least 70% of the recent calls have been related to ingestion of livestock or animal formulations of ivermectin purchased at livestock supply centers.
    • 85% of the callers had mild symptoms.

    Mississippi Poison Control Center advises any physicians, providers or hospitals within the state who know patients with illness related to the medication, either prescribed or livestock formulations, to call them at 1-800-222-1222.

    There is something called the Darwin awards….
