But sometimes the plug is pulled on me when they discover there's no control whatsoever. Although it's been said that women "like guys who are a challenge"...I'm not sure I agree with that. The things they love you for in the beginning they'll hate you for later.

So, not only does the China virus stay out of big stores like Walmart and Home Depot, only counts out after 10pm, and if you eat while having a drink at your watering hole it will stay away, the brilliant scientists in California have discovered that if you stay within 120 miles of home- wherever that is- you are now safe from it too.

Moderna CEO says Covid will be with us forever.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/13/moderna-ceo-says-the-world-will-have-to-live-with-the-coronavirus-forever.html


So I guess we can stop this nonsense about how we all have to quarantine and wear masks until Covid goes away. My question is...if California is waiting for Covid to completely disappear before they get rid of restrictions then what will they do with this latest news? Their lockdown protocols have already crippled that state probably permanently and if there's no end to Covid then what?

My unsolicited opinion is that the narrative needs to support a scenario where Covid NEVER goes away because with Covid comes the ability to control the population and influence public opinion.

If Covid goes away then politicians will lose a very powerful tool to influence the masses and assert control. They have seen how fear and panic can pay political dividends. Heck, if it weren't for Covid the bad Orange Man would still be in office for another four years.

Once their grip on the reigns of power starts to slip all they have to do is overreact to a brand new mutated strain of Covid and the masses will fall in line once again.

Change my mind....

Neither...and the reason is twofold. First, I'm not afraid of Covid. If I get sick, I'll just grind it out...been plenty sick before.

Secondly, aside from getting sick, there isn't a damn thing otherwise that they've said about this virus that I believe...therefore, someone telling me to sit down while they give a shot isn't going to happen.

I 'aint lining up for something I don't need...period.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom To Re-Open CA Less Than One Week After Biden InaugurationIn the past two weeks, we’ve seen dozens of Democrat-run states and cities suddenly be filled with the urge to re-open their economies.
For example, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has expressed her desire to open bars/restaurants and other parts of the CHI-town economy. On too of that, the states of Massachusetts, New York and Michigan have all announced similar plans to re-open JUST as Joe Biden was stepping into office.
Now, California is joining the party.

On Monday, Governor Gavin Newsom has officially lifted the “stay at home” orders in the Golden State.

I hear you. So tired of it. I've been doing that for a while now - I wear a neck gator for my face diaper. Most of the time, when I go into stores, i've got the gator just down around my neck. When I see a store clerk that mentions it, i'll sometimes pull it up just enough to visually show some cloth between my mouth and their eyes.

One of the places that i appreciate to go to now than before is the gym. Why? Because hardly nobody is wearing a mask. Most of the working staff wear one most of the time, but 95% of the patrons there are not covered. It's nice see peoples faces, see people smiling, happy, talking, joking around and not living in fear and anxiety. It just makes things feel nice and calm, and somewhat normal - a great get away from the mass hysteria and paranoia everywhere else.

One of the places i least like going to nowadays is the ski resort. They are pretty resilient and unforceful of the mask mandate there, even to the extreme of making sure your entire nose is covered. I swear they increased their staff by 25% this year just to have several staffers walk the lift lines to ask everyone to mask up properly. I tell you - nothing shows you've reached the pinnacle of sucess in your career than when you have reached the exalted position of griping at every 4th or 5th skier/snowboarder to mask up while in lift line.

At PCMR, they've limited the mixing of parties on cabriolet, gondola, and chair lift. On the lifts, anyone not in the same party has to be separated from the other party by an empty spot on the lift - same with the gondola. The cabriolet is limited to persons of the same party. I'm sure that part of these extreme measures they are taking is to limit the complaints from Park City proper, and Summit Co health from shutting them down.

So, last Saturday when it snowed a bunch, I left my house at 7:15 hoping to get up there and avoid the big traffic rush into PC and crowds on powder days. DIDN"T HAPPEN. Once I got to the Kimbal Junction exit, it took another 45 mint just to get to the Canyons parking lot, where we then stood in line for 30 min to get on the cabriolet that takes you up to the Canyons Village base, where there are 2 ways to get up the mountain from there - the gondola, and the Orange Bubble lift. Well, the Orange Bubble wasn't running, and with the mixed party limits on the gondola, there was a gigantic line for it snaking all back through the village that was an easy 2 hr wait. We didn't want to wait in that gondola line, so we took the cabriolet back down to the parking lot, where we then caught the free city bus that took us to the other side of the resort to the Park City side. We weren't the only ones to take this approach, as about 30 other people did the same thing. crowding the bus to the max with about 50 people shoved in that bus like sardines - which obviously didn't go against the city or co health code rules. I couldn't help but notice the difference in how extremely cautious PCMR was to maximize the social distancing by limiting mixed parties on their lifts, which created the long lines, which persuaded some to get on the bus where those precautions were completely thrown to the wind.

It's so blatantly obvious that it is all about optics anymore.

^^^Basin I hear ya. It's so completely inflated and hypocritical now. I can't stand it.

Now masking up has very little to do with safety and avoiding illness and instead it has devolved into a cultural activity to demonstrate how progressive you can be. Just like high school, folks from the left will try and outdo each other with how progressive and "responsible" they can be, even going so far as to vilify and condemn a perfect stranger if they feel their mask wearing procedures are inferior. There's no end to the snobbery and hypocrisy from the left -- it's like being an asshole to your fellow man is now in vogue, all in the name of "safety." :roll:

The old devil responded, "I instilled fear in them!"


"Great job!" the youngster said. "And what were they afraid of? Wars? Hunger?"


"No, they were afraid of the disease!" the older devil replied.


"Does that mean they didn't get sick? Are they not dead? There was no rescue for them?"


The old devil answered, "No . . . they got sick, died, and the rescue was there."


The young devil was surprised, "Then I don't understand???"


The old devil answered, "You know they believed the only thing they have to keep at any cost is their lives.


"They stopped hugging and greeting each other. They moved away from each other. They gave up all social contacts and everything that was human!


"Later they ran out of money, lost their jobs, but that was their choice because they were afraid for their lives, that's why they quit their jobs without even having bread.


"They believed blindly everything they heard and read in the papers.


"They gave up their freedoms, they didn't leave their own homes to go anywhere. They stopped visiting family and friends. The world turned into a concentration camp, without even forcing them into captivity.


"They accepted everything!!! Just to live at least one more miserable day . . . And so living, they died every day!!!

Back in the early 90s I was talking to the mother of a girlfriend of mine out the "future"...she was remarkably pessimistic and I laughed at her. I reminded her that the Cold War had just ended and with technology and innovation I figured the future was quite bright indeed. I was certain the the issues of war, overpopulation, food supply, pollution control, energy, etc...would be dealt with accordingly.

If you would have told me that in 30 years time none of this would happen and the oligarchs would be gang raping the worlds treasuries at will I'd say that would be very bad news indeed...and that's exactly what happened.

Yesterday the CDC just updated their guidance on daycare centers. They still believe kids from 2 on up should be in a mask all day, social distance and not interact with other classes. EVEN IF THE PROVIDER IS VACCINATED!!!

What in the actual f&%k??? This is so absurd. Can you even imaging how dirty the masks would be for a bunch of 2-5 year old kids in daycare? Not to mention both RSV and the flu are significantly more dangerous to kids than rona and we never masked before. Anyone who is involved in this dogshit "guidance" should be fired and completely ignored from here on out. The CDC is a complete joke at this point. Do they not at all wonder what it does for the development of a toddler to be masked and surrounded by masks all day for well over a year now.

Former Pfizer VP Sounds Alarm: COVID-19 Vaccine Campaign “Madness” That May Be Used For “Massive-Scale Depopulation”A former Vice President and Chief Science Officer for Pfizer, Dr. Michael Yeadon, spoke with urgency to America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) late last week warning (https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.com/exclusive-former-pfizer-vp-to-aflds-entirely-possible-this-will-be-used-for-massive-scale-depopulation/) that the drive to inject the largest possible portion of the population with experimental COVID-19 vaccines is “madness,” involves “evil,” includes “crimes against humanity” and may have the intention of “massive-scale depopulation.”
Yeadon’s comments are also made in the broader context of a sharp debate over theories (https://twitter.com/GVDBossche/status/1368232172872732675) offered by Geert Vanden Bossche, a vaccine expert associated with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who, with the appearance of a “whistleblower” has also warned of a “global catastrophe without equal” due to the way these vaccines have been utilized.

Michael Yeadon was a scientific researcher and vice president at drugs giant Pfizer Inc. He co-founded a successful biotech. Then his career took an unexpected turn.
Late last year, a semi-retired British scientist co-authored a petition to Europe’s medicines regulator. The petitioners made a bold demand: Halt COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials.
Even bolder was their argument for doing so: They speculated, without providing evidence, that the vaccines could cause infertility in women.
The document appeared on a German website on Dec.1. Scientists denounced the theory. Regulators weren’t swayed, either: Weeks later, the European Medicines Agency approved the European Union’s first COVID-19 shot, co-developed by Pfizer Inc. But damage was already done.
Social media quickly spread exaggerated claims that COVID-19 jabs cause female infertility. Within weeks, doctors and nurses in Britain began reporting that concerned women were asking them whether it was true, according to the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists. In January, a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a non-profit organization, found that 13% of unvaccinated people in the United States had heard that “COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to cause infertility.”
What gave the debunked claim credibility was that one of the petition’s co-authors, Michael Yeadon, wasn’t just any scientist. The 60-year-old is a former vice president of Pfizer, where he spent 16 years as an allergy and respiratory researcher. He later co-founded a biotech firm that the Swiss drugmaker Novartis purchased for at least $325 million.


“These claims are false, dangerous and deeply irresponsible,” said a spokesman for Britain’s Department of Health & Social Care, when asked about Yeadon’s views. “COVID-19 vaccines are the best way to protect people from coronavirus and will save thousands of lives.”

Everyone has seen the reports of the high obesity rates in the US compared to other countries.


Tell me again how Trump is to blame for the high death rate in the US because he refused to wear a mask initially, and his inaction.


“As we show in this report, increased bodyweight is the second greatest predictor of hospitalisation and a high risk of death for people suffering from COVID-19. Only old age rates as a higher risk factor.

We show that in those countries where overweight affects only a minority of the adult population, the rates of death from COVID-19 are typically less than one tenth the levels found in countries where overweight affects the majority of adults.”

I'm curious what the "New Mask Order" consists of? If it's anything like Utah, it means you should still be wearing your masks, regardless of the lifted mask order on 4/10.

Just about all government workers (Federal and State) are all for keeping the mandates and NOT lifting them until the population is almost all the way vaccinated, or herd immunity renders CV harmless (less than 100 new cases/day). They've completely bought into the indoctrination.

MIT researchers say you’re no safer from Covid indoors at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies


https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/mit-researchers-say-youre-no-safer-from-covid-indoors-at-6-feet-or-60-feet-in-new-study.html

The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 indoors is as great at 60 feet as it is at 6 feet — even when wearing a mask, according to a new study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers who challenge social distancing guidelines adopted across the world.

MIT professors Martin Z. Bazant, who teaches chemical engineering and applied mathematics, and John W.M. Bush, who teaches applied mathematics, developed a method of calculating exposure risk to Covid-19 in an indoor setting that factors in a variety of issues that could affect transmission, including the amount of time spent inside, air filtration and circulation, immunization, variant strains, mask use, and even respiratory activity such as breathing, eating, speaking or singing.

Bazant and Bush question long-held Covid-19 guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization in a peer-reviewed study published earlier this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the United States of America.

"We argue there really isn't much of a benefit to the 6-foot rule, especially when people are wearing masks," Bazant said in an interview. "It really has no physical basis because the air a person is breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in the room so you're more exposed to the average background than you are to a person at a distance."

The important variable the CDC and the WHO have overlooked is the amount of time spent indoors, Bazant said. The longer someone is inside with an infected person, the greater the chance of transmission, he said.

Opening windows or installing new fans to keep the air moving could also be just as effective or more effective than spending large amounts of money on a new filtration system, he said.

Bazant also says that guidelines enforcing indoor occupancy caps are flawed. He said 20 people gathered inside for 1 minute is probably fine, but not over the course of several hours, he said.

"What our analysis continues to show is that many spaces that have been shut down in fact don't need to be. Often times the space is large enough, the ventilation is good enough, the amount of time people spend together is such that those spaces can be safely operated even at full capacity and the scientific support for reduced capacity in those spaces is really not very good," Bazant said. "I think if you run the numbers, even right now for many types of spaces you'd find that there is not a need for occupancy restrictions."

Six-feet social distancing rules that inadvertently result in closed businesses and schools are "just not reasonable," according to Bazant.

"This emphasis on distancing has been really misplaced from the very beginning. The CDC or WHO have never really provided justification for it, they've just said this is what you must do and the only justification I'm aware of, is based on studies of coughs and sneezes, where they look at the largest particles that might sediment onto the floor and even then it's very approximate, you can certainly have longer or shorter range, large droplets," Bazant said.

"The distancing isn't helping you that much and it's also giving you a false sense of security because you're as safe at 6 feet as you are at 60 feet if you're indoors. Everyone in that space is at roughly the same risk, actually," he noted.

Pathogen-laced droplets travel through the air indoors when people talk, breathe or eat. It is now known that airborne transmission plays a huge role in the spread of Covid-19, compared with the earlier months of the pandemic where hand-washing was considered the leading recommendation to avoid transmission.

Those droplets from one's warm exhalation mix with body heat and air currents in the area to rise and travel throughout the entire room, no matter how socially distanced a person is. People seem to be more exposed to that "background" air than they are by droplets from a distance, according to the study.

For example, if someone infected with Covid-19 is wearing a mask and singing loudly in an enclosed room, a person who is sitting at the other side of the room is not more protected than someone who is sitting just six feet away from the infected person. This is why time spent in the enclosed area is more important than how far you are from the infected person.

Masks work in general to prevent transmission by blocking larger droplets, therefore larger droplets aren't making up the majority of Covid infections because most people are wearing masks. The majority of people who are transmitting Covid aren't coughing and sneezing, they're asymptomatic.

Masks also work to prevent indoor transmission by blocking direct plumes of air, best visualized by imagining someone exhaling smoke. Constant exposure to direct plumes of infectious air would result in a higher risk of transmission, though exposure to direct plumes of exhaled air doesn't usually last long.

Even with masks on, as with smoking, those who are in the vicinity are heavily affected by the secondhand smoke that makes its way around the enclosed area and lingers. The same logic applies to infectious airborne droplets, according to the study. When indoors and masked, factors besides distance can be more important to consider to avoid transmission.

As for social distancing outdoors, Bazant says it makes almost no sense and that doing so with masks on is "kind of crazy."

"If you look at the air flow outside, the infected air would be swept away and very unlikely to cause transmission. There are very few recorded instances of outdoor transmission." he said. "Crowded spaces outdoor could be an issue, but if people are keeping a reasonable distance of like 3 feet outside, I feel pretty comfortable with that even without masks frankly."

Bazant says this could possibly explain why there haven't been spikes in transmission in states like Texas or Florida that have reopened businesses without capacity limits.

As for variant strains that are 60% more transmissible, increasing ventilation by 60%, reducing the amount of time spent inside or limiting the number of people indoors could offset that risk.

Bazant also said that a big question that is coming will be when masks can be removed, and that the study's guidelines can help quantify the risks involved. He also noted that measuring carbon dioxide in a room can also help quantify how much infected air is present and hence risk of transmission.

"We need scientific information conveyed to the public in a way that is not just fearmongering but is actually based in analysis," Bazant said. After three rounds of heavy peer review, he said it's the most review he's ever been through, and that now that it's published he hopes it will influence policy.

Well, since it's in downtown SLC it will do really well because Salt Lake has sadly turned into a hotbed for ultra liberal Democrats -- just look at the mayoral situation -- there hasn't been a Republican Mayor in SLC for 40 years. Every time I drive through downtown SLC I cringe because it is no longer the city I knew growing up - now it's a hotbed for virtue signaling liberals and/or homeless people.

However, if that restaurant were almost anywhere else in Utah (except ultra liberal Park City and Moab) it would already be out of business.

By the way, isn't requiring people to show private medical information as a condition of entering the restaurant a violation of HPAA laws?

Not saying I believe it, but it's an interesting thought. Basically, China can keep their boot on the neck of the world by constantly releasing different viral strains, and reaping chaos in the competing nations.

And why has the vaccine stopped working? Why are pharmaceuticals now discussing the need for boosters when they insisted that would NOT be necessary for any Covid strain in the future?

The biggest problem with Covid as I see it is getting the truth without the agenda spin of whoever is presenting the information. Which is why I posted the original message as there was no agenda and no spin attached. It was just the current facts from one particular hospital.

You hit the nail on the head. Truth seems to be more rare than diamonds. Finding it requires diving into way too many rabbit holes. I have an employee who is very high risk going through cancer treatment. She mentioned to me today that one of her doctors informed her within the last week that he has heard that all those hospitalized are those that have not been vaccinated and who have had tested positive for Covid antibodies. One more voice with nothing to gain adding to Ice's post. The vaccine works. Seems to work even better if you have had Covid, too, at least according to this one doctor. Who knows what the long term effects will be. Hopefully none.

I had a friend suggest to me the other day that this latest "Delta" variant strain of Covid may possibly not be a variant strain at all.....but just another virus altogether that was hatched somewhere in China and released in India.

Not saying I believe it, but it's an interesting thought. Basically, China can keep their boot on the neck of the world by constantly releasing different viral strains, and reaping chaos in the competing nations.



My opinion is that it's not China acting alone...I firmly believe they're in cahoots with people within our our government and/or Oligarchy. I'd say we're actually living in a Matrix...we're nothing but batteries to them. Sure they "need" us...to generate the money they take, oil the gears, do the labor. But when the rubber hits the road they rule with impunity. We're expendable...they just slaughtered millions without a second thought. I reckon they'll be analyzing the data of what they just did to us for quite a while...setting up the next one for a more desired effect. Sounds kinda dire, eh? Well...with all the misinformation, propaganda, fascist behavior and such I'm just all "back of the bus like"...hangin' in the periphery watching it all unfold. Easy to form opinions, crazy or not.

Why do some of you think you would be better consumers dead?Personally...I currently don't need the shot or the pill. Therefore, I'm not a "consumer".

Not only that...I've always considered the reason most of these guys need the drug to get a hard on is because the old lady just doesn't do it for them like way back when. All the reason not to get married and get a fresh new girlfriend every now and then. Plus...they're probably not down with bobbing the knob anymore. If she's ready to get laid she knows what to do.

I think it was you that said..."Yeah, man...that blue pill will turn you into a jackhammer for 4 hours straight!"...with all due respect, I'll take a pass...two hours of variety is fine with me.

FWIW - I received this text today from a good friend of mine who works in the ICU of a major Salt Lake hospital... this is just fact from a front line worker with no bullshit added in.... make of it whatever you wish...

8/10/2021 numbers at the hospital I work for. 32 in ICU, 5 weekly deaths, 6 on vents not expected to discharge. Oh, all not vaccinated.

It's pretty simple at this point, you go un-vaccinated, you'll get it, you'll get really sick and hopefully you stay alive. If vaccinated you still might get it but your survival rate is astronomically higher than those that aren't.

My Mom just started a first round of chemo Friday. 3 weeks ago we had to put a sign up saying masks are require for entry due to her condition. Luckily she is vaccinated but with a deteriorating immune system its unsettling. Worse was when I dropped by 3 days before her first chemo, her friend was dropping off dinner with no mask. Come to find out after she left she's a proud anti-vaxxer and refuses to wear a mask. I flipped my f*cking lid. Just ignored the sign.

Who does that with someone that has stage 4 pancreatic cancer right before her first chemo treatment?

For what it's worth (out of the Trib today)

The number of Utahns fully vaccinated against COVID-19 now exceeds 1.5 million. That’s just over 46% of the state’s total population.

According to UDOH, there have been 5,841 “breakthrough” cases of COVID-19 in Utah — people who contracted the virus two weeks or more after being fully vaccinated.

That’s about 1 in every 258 people who are fully vaccinated.

Of that number, 353 have been hospitalized — 1 in about every 4,261 people who are fully vaccinated.

And there have been 21 deaths, or 1 in about every 71,624 people.

Regardless of your stance on masks/vax a sign erected in the home of someone undergoing chemo should be heeded. So this lady cared enough to bring over dinner but not respect her simple request to mask up? :facepalm1:

Thanks and yeah. Oddly enough she's in her 80's so.... go figure.Actually, it isn't hard to figure.

If you go thru life expecting everyone to do what YOU would do, you're going to be solely disappointed.

While it makes perfect sense that anyone coming to see your mother at this point would "be on board"...the reality is that the only way your'e going to stop someone from entering that room without a mask is if you stand guard at the door. While I think it's quite rude for anyone to ignore such a simple request, I also consider that those who would enter without one have "their reasons"...and those "reasons" are things that I personally would likely agree with.

I'd put a mask on in that situation, but that's just me. Respect for your friends should never be off the table. Bear in mind that not everyone shunning the shot is "anti-vax"...most of us just want to sit back and see how this all plays out before (possibly) taking the plunge, pun intended. I don't fear the virus and more than likely that 80 year old friend of your mother doesn't either...that's the difference and there's no amount of shame, coercion, humiliation or even threat of exile that can change that. A "persuasive argument" presented without those things can work much better...and the persuasion is quite lacking.

Anyway...I wish you the best and sincerely hope your mom pulls thru.

CDC Says A New COVID Variant May Be Needed To Effectively Bury Afghanistan News
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Officials at the CDC said today that the surprising virulence and persistence of Afghanistan news may require a whole new COVID variant to distract the country from it.
“We’re concerned that the only way to cure the administration of all this bad publicity may be a prolonged, shrieking freak-out over a new COVID variant,” said Dr. Ed Whittle, Director of the CDC’s Department for the Cultivation of Existential Dread. “So, we’re working night and day to come up with something really scary that would make the collapse of Afghanistan seem like a Martha’s Vineyard birthday party.”
Some of the possible variants that officials are considering include the Gamma variant, which gives victims an extreme desire to turn green and smash; the Bro variant, which causes victims to break out in armband tattoos; and the Kung Fu Movie variant, in which victims’ can no longer make their words match up with their mouth movements.

Pfizer Launches Final Study For COVID Drug That's Suspiciously Similar To 'Horse Paste'Another piece US anti-Ivermectin puzzle may have emerged. On Monday, Pfizer announced that it's launching an accelerated Phase 2/3 trial for a COVID prophylactic pill designed to ward off COVID in those may have come in contact with the disease.
Coincidentally (or not),Pfizer's drug shares at least one mechanism of action as Ivermectin - an anti-parasitic used in humans for decades, which functions as a protease inhibitor (https://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/pdfplus/10.2217/fvl-2020-0342) against Covid-19, which researchers speculate "could be the biophysical basis behind its antiviral efficiency."
Lo and behold, Pfizer's new drug - which some have jokingly dubbed "Pfizermectin," is described by the pharmaceutical giant as a "potent protease inhibitor."

From the "Journal of Antibiotics"

Although this study was published in June of 2020 it is interesting stuff for sure. I underlined what I thought was significant. Granted, this is a petri dish study, not an "in person" study. Nonetheless, looks very promising for the future. I'm sure someone will look up and post more recent studies.

The antiviral effects of ivermectin on RNA viruses

COVID-19

In a recent in vitro study, the Vero/hSLAM cells infected with the SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 virus were exposed to 5 µM ivermectin in 48 h, and a 5000-fold reduction in viral RNA compared with control was found [15 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z#ref-CR15)]. The results showed that treatment with ivermectin effectively kills almost all viral particles within 48 h. The study was the first to assess the antiviral effect of ivermectin on COVID-19. The authors acknowledged that the drug may have antiviral effects by inhibiting the importin (IMP) α/β receptor, which is responsible for transmitting viral proteins into the host cell nucleus. The authors proposed human studies to confirm the potential benefits of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19. Although this study was the first to confirm the antiviral effect of ivermectin on COVID-19 [15 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z#ref-CR15)], other studies examined the antiviral effects of the drug on both RNA and DNA viruses, which are summarized in Table 1 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z#Tab1).

Not only do they ridicule and lie about it, in some area and states, they are outlawing doctors from using to treat the Wuflu. They want everyone to worship their gods- the mask and the shot- to ward off the most deadly virus in the history of the world.

Uncle Ted runs his mouth against the vaccine. Pretty funny stuff. Ted Nugent is fearless.

Ted Nugent is fearless.I would agree to that, certainly. Some would say he's absolutely crazy and I reckon they'd say the same thing about me. I couldn't care less and neither would he.

It all boils down to faith...those that get "the shot" or "shots" as it may well be seem to truly believe what they're being told. It's heavy stuff...having someone inject something into your body. They'll say "Polio, Measles, Tetanus, Hepatitis, etc...but those are long used, tried and tested vaccines that are sensibly (IMO) given to children. How about the flu shot?...I've never bothered to get one. I'm in great health and doing just fine, thank you.

So there's the "freedom of choice"...but we're not being given that freedom, are we? They're forcing it thru shame, humiliation and threats.

F*ck 'em all.

Hope that in the foreseeable future we will have some really effective vaccine with zero or almost zero side effects *fingers crossed*

We already have one - for the car majority of people. It’s called- ‘turn off the MSM and go out and live your life’. It’s worked great for me for 18+ months.

Just a reminder that we are on day 600 of ‘15 days to flatten the spread’.

What day are you going to stop complying?

I feel like the past 20 months have largely consisted of people trying to convince me to be as scared as they are.

And then, getting mad at me for refusing to be.

Apperently, there’s another new ‘variant coming out of Africa that is more contagent among kids. So glad they just barely approved kids to get vaxed.

Biden has just banned US travel to or from 7 southern African countries due to the emergence of the omicron variant.


The omicron variant has already been found in multiple other countries around the world, including the UK, Hong Kong, Italy, Israel and Germany, and is almost certainly already here in the US.


Why ban travel when they know it won't actually keep the variant from coming here? Because they have to "do something about it."


This is called safety theater. They know their actions won't work, but that's not why they do it.


So then, why do they do it?


Imagine this scenario:


The manager of a company is sitting around the office, being lazy and not really accomplishing anything. The company's owner stops by to see how things are going. Surprised and startled, the manager jumps up, starts shuffling papers around and yells at the workers to get in gear and do what he says, or else they're in big trouble.


What is the manager accomplishing? Absolutely nothing. In fact, he's probably disrupting the workers and hurting productivity. But he needs to show that he's "doing something", or else the boss might start wondering why he even needs him.


That's how government works.


In order to convince us that they're necessary, government tries to manage every aspect of our lives.


This includes tragic, and sometimes unavoidable, things such as disease and disasters.


They run around, doing a bunch of things that won't work, and threaten us with punishment if we don't join them in running around uselessly.


In doing all of this, they actually distract resources and efforts on things that might actually help the situation. They actively make things worse.


And the worst part is that they know their actions are ineffectual at best, and harmful at worst. But they have to show you that they're "doing something about it."


That's actually a common refrain in safety theater, and its cousin, security theater.


"Don't worry, we're doing something about it! Now do what we say, or you're in trouble!"


Nevermind the fact that they never actually solve anything, and often end up making it worse.


At least they're "doing something about it."


COVID isn't going away, omicron is already here, and the sooner we realize that government isn't useful in times of crisis (or any other time), the sooner we can focus on efforts that actually are effective.
