People who get their news from 3rd hand sources (all the cops I know say no one died of COVID! It's all a conspiracy!) AND suffer from a panic disorder that prevents them from leaving the house....that's all I'm going to say. Sometimes I wish I was so easily swayed....actually, nah, I don't.

According to WSJ opinion piece, over 55% of the US has been infected (the great majority with mild or no symptoms). Covid has now moved thru our largest states. Our cases are down a whopping 77% over the last 6 weeks.

Adding the vaccinations to those who now have 'natural immunity', and the author predicts we are on the edge of herd immunity and Covid will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume a normal life.

Yeah good luck with that.
Government is nowhere near ready for normal.
They never will be, that’s the plan.

Never. I was referring to them allowing “us” to go back to normal.
Our government is Abby Normal.

Why is Biden still doing the mask (sometimes the double mask) routine? He’s fully vaccinated.

Actions such as that undermine the public confidence that the vaccine is safe and EFFECTIVE and play into the hands of the anti-vaxxers.

Bc you're going to be wearing that mask until Christmas 2022! That was the word out of the White House this week! Said he was "hopeful" for that time frame.

All side effects mimicking covid are supposed to happen as they kick your body in to defensive mode . Some may just feel the effects more than others for a number of reasons .but in all cases it is non replicating.

Having had a bad case of covid I can tell you I would take those vaccine symptoms any day over what I had
What's really the point ?

I still have to wear a mask no matter what...by law*.

Also, i heard you have to take the vaccine SEVERAL* times a year for it to even be 'effective'.

The FDA approves all types of drugs in America. Good or bad.
Should i run down a list of drugs that were approved only to be 'recalled' years later ?
My point is they don't exactly have an impressive record.
The plan is to make big pharma companies rich and everybody is falling for it under the 'scare tactic' method they are using.

I'm self employed so my employer cant FORCE ME to take it.
I'm not knocking whoever does but i have no reason to trust the government.
We are just walking ATM machines in their eyes.

It’s your choice ..but when you get excluded from doing what the vaccinated population can do especially if ny goes whole hog with excelsior pass then you will see the point ....it is either that or spend your time getting tested every 72 hours when you want to do something.

Having spent weeks in the hospital with covid sick as a dog , it is an experience I never want to go through again ...so yeah I will take my chances with vaccination being as unvaccinated didn’t work out so well for my wife and I
