There are plenty of people on both sides of the aisle that fit the a**hole term. It doesn’t matter what your political persuasion is.

But yep we have a lot of ungrateful folks in this nation with no self respect or appreciation for things. It’s kinda bizarre because it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s what happens when you are the only nation in the world of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th chances.

Our leaders are temporary but somehow we move forward with a lot of ungrateful spineless people.

Bingo…Excellent post…especially the part about “ungrateful spineless people”. So many folks that have zero idea of the bravery of those that gave them the freedom they have. Weakness and entitlement has certainly taken over.

Statistically minorities are the selfish ones if you feel the people not vaccinated are selfish. Better call out the black people then. Just the way it is. Sorry, it doesn't fit your narrative though.

Have a great night. I am a republican due to being chased out of my life long democratic run and I am vaccinated, but am worried about my health due to my choice. I see Moderna is issuing some heart issues due to the vaccine. Ah, how wonderful.

There you go with those pesky 'racist' facts

It's not about politics for me. I am certain the entire political class is engaged in organized crime. They don't even investigate let alone prosecute mass murder.

The only thing the medical establishment can really do about viruses is vaccines. It's the main tool in their toolbox. It's been true for the entire history of civilization. Thirty years ago I read a book called Plagues and People. It was a history of the effects of epidemics on history. This one traveled on airplanes and we have an imperfect vaccine. Those are the main differences between, say, the measles epidemic in ancient Rome, to various of the epidemics that caused European catastrophes. This isn't unique otherwise.

Everyone has their own imperfect risk assessments. 40 years ago, we had a dramatic demo of bad risk assessment by officials and citizens around Mt St Helens. In dealing with situations that no one had experience for, their risk assessors were broken. They ended up burned to a crisp by the pyroclastic flow, then buried 200 ft below landslide and ash debris. I'm certain their last thought was, how could I have been so stupid? It was a failure of imagination.

Same here. Your risk assessor is stuck on last year's covid. Delta is a bigger risk for young people. You are having a failure of imagination. You're the people who walked onto the empty seabed when the water drew back before the tsunami.

So... given I think the entire political class are our era's mafia, why would I trust them about the vaccine? I don't. What I have observed is the government of Israel innoculating their entire population with Pfizer. Do you really think the Israeli government would genocide their own people? No they wouldn't. Not in a million years.

And do you think there aren't enough smart scientists in Israel who could determine if the vaccines were nefarious? There are enough who can make that determination. If you don't trust our government, trust theirs on this subject.

The lest vaccinated areas of Pittsburgh are Braddock, Duquesne and Manchester. On the other hand an interesting stat is with over 1.2 million people in Allegheny County, there has only been 2,062 deaths! That is one heck of a long time to have everything cancelled and people working from home with really about no deaths. Most all the deaths are people that are very old or very obese. I think we need to get back to normal as COVID is here to stay. It is what it is.

If a vaccine works, you don't have to try to FORCE other people to get it. that's tyranny. yes. my body, my choice. and the governments have no right to force experimental **** on anyone. that's Nuremberg code, people. what we use to call the very basics, when more people were sane.

The Pfizer vaccine is FDA approved

It’s still experimental, because one can still get the virus, and boosters, boosters, and boosters.

Not sure about that. The vaccine work and it works against delta as well. I don’t regret getting it he vaccine. I don’t think I’ll need a booster. Time will tell.
