That's why you should upgrade to KN95 or KF94. They protect BOTH the wear and others.

Without Universal Health Care and a $7.25 minimum wage, how can anyone refer to a "welfare state" with a straight face?

Because the vaccines are not as good as advertised.

He stated the answer in the same post: "people just rather not chance getting sick if there is no reason to"

To put it another way, some of these activities are discretionary after further thought and can be ceased, even if the risk of getting seriously ill is small.

Yeah people don't seem to realize that the booster is basically another shot of the old vaccine, i.e. the outdated vaccines that cover the old strains. We need to get boosted with a better, updated vaccine that covers the new strain. Last I heard, it is in the works and slated to be available in March. So that would mean that those who got boosted already will need a FOURTH shot in March.

So in conclusion, the best way to get through this pandemic is to keep injecting these vaccines every few months into your body.

That's literally what they do to livestock. The Pfizer CEO was just on the TeeVee saying he doesn't think a fourth shot is necessary, and he's now pushing their antiviral, Pfizermectin, for $500 a pill.

I remember when saying something like that would get you labeled a conspiracy nut.

They are. They were never meant to prevent you from getting sick. Just keep you out of the hospital and from the grim reaper.

At this stage, boosters are pointless for anyone under 75. Even if they come out with updated versions.

Getting sick is part of being human. The point is not to die or take a large number of years off of your life with prolonged sickness.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Yes, there's a lot of corruption, thievery, and graft in NYC but it pales in comparison to the welfare state.

First tackle the bigger problem. Anyhow, the two are joined at the hip. The corruption, thievery, and graft can't exist without the welfare state.
The politicians and their beneficiaries use the size of the city budget to hide their thievery.
