I AM SOOO WORRIED ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS MORE! yikes. sooo worried! that one is so catchy. it is a LIVE germ being sneezed out maybe by someone who was vaxxed and not wearing a mask!! thinking it's a reaction from the injection? not going to the doctor because they are cured of any thing now and yes I have spoken to people that feel they are now invincible to any bug!!

what can be done? It takes an xray to diagnose, but is anyone checking?

Can you imagine TB now?? It is a huge killer: 1.5 million a YEAR! kids, young, old - doesn't care.

that one really, frightens me alot. TB.

oh no - variants. not by the unvaccinated.. now I will never take this mask off Provides at least some protection? what is: at least some??? !! DEFINE please? should not make vaccines complete ineffective? what does that mean? that it may be? might? probably? 50/50? define!!! change compostion of the vaccines to protect against variants? how many mRNA can one cell hold before translation goes awry like the early 2015 animals in labs that either just cleard the sars cov-1 on their own - yes, we do too. or the ones that died? THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE STUFF. NOTHING. ALL GUESSES. ALL EXPERIMENTS THANKS TO THOSE ANIMALS THAT KEPT CLEARING THE VIRUS OR DIED AFTER INJECTION.

not yelling - just real close to hyperventilating. so I tend to speak louder. sorry.



"The COVID-19 vaccines that are currently in development or have been approved are expected to provide at least some protection against new virus variants because these vaccines elicit a broad immune response involving a range of antibodies and cells. Therefore, changes or mutations in the virus should not make vaccines completely ineffective. In the event that any of these vaccines prove to be less effective against one or more variants, it will be possible to change the composition of the vaccines to protect against these variants." https://www.who.int/news-room/featur...id-19-vaccines

You need to get it and get sick over it or know someone in your family or social circle to die before it affects you. Hopefully you get the chance to experience what other people have. Hold on tight don't obey safety protocols...almost there my friend.

Virologist, veterinarian, verysickindividual, what's the difference. As long as you get the first letter right, that's all that counts.

It will be a while before we are back to "normal"

Florida went back to normal in May, of last year. Come party with us!

Interestingly, the UK has some massively different accounts of where they stand vis-a-vis herd immunity...one model that was recently released by some academic institution (University College London?) has them on the verge of attaining it, while a couple others have them far from the mark. I was just reading an article about this yesterday. In sum, I am not sure where they actually stand.
