Today it was Wagner’s “Parsifal,” in German, recorded in Toulouse, France. Wagner was a sexist along with his other failings, like being anti-Semitic and a grifter. But the music is lovely (I swear, though, if I hear one more time someone spout that “Music is ennobling,” I think I may scream.) I also put my meds together for the next two weeks, morning and night both. I can see Virgil again on Friday September 3, so I won’t want to be dealing with pills that weekend.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – The Daily Beast also reported that [the jail\u2019s head doctor, Robert] Karas has cited a discredited study to support his use of ivermectin. When Schnekloth exposed the doctor on Facebook, he pushed back, saying \u201cI got experience and don\u2019t really need more studies.\u201d
