you can not assume everyone is sick. if you do not know you spread a disease you are not liable. it's only if you know you are sick.
You cannot assume someone with no symptoms is not infected. Everyone who develops symptoms was contagious before his symptoms started.

People who are infected are isolated. People they may have infected but who have no symptoms are quarantined until they are determined to be infected or not.

Those who are getting sick because people are "going out as much as possible" and "actually trying to enjoy life" would like to be able to enjoy life, too.

There are those of us who want more data on ivermectin. It does not mean we are "upset".

It's ironic that the attitude toward the vaccine is that it was not tested enough but the attitude toward ivermectin is that it should be prescribed without adequate testing.

Enjoy your life.

There’s way more data on the safety of ivermectin then the vaccine. Way more.

Enjoy yours, too.

All of the ivermectin data combined does not include studies of tens of thousands of participants.

i have heard this from multiple sources that moderna and pfizer has not been proven to prevent infection only prevent people from getting bad symptoms which will keep them out of the hospital.
Most people already have no or mild symptoms sans vaccine. There is no way to prove that a vaccine prevented a particular person from having a severe case.

I have had all usual symptoms I always have.

Since previous studies on mask effectiveness didn't show that they helped with spread, I doubt respiratory illnesses have gone away suddenly just because people are being forced to wear masks.

The safety record is very long and strong.

They are saying the vaccine won't keep you from becoming infected, and the masks are not supposed to protect the wearer. People wearing masks can infect you as well.

And Bill Gates talked about having people who were vaccinated have a tattoo to show they were vaccinated. It was in a video posted on a thread here months ago.

There is evidence that the vaccines prevent severe disease.

There were no severe COVID-19 cases in the vaccine group in the Moderna trial.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/moder...142200437.html

"A secondary endpoint analyzed severe cases of COVID-19 and included 30 severe cases (as defined in the study protocol) in this analysis. All 30 cases occurred in the placebo group and none in the mRNA-1273 vaccinated group. There was one COVID-19-related death in the study to date, which occurred in the placebo group."

Pfizer had one case of severe COVID-19 after the first dose of the vaccine.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577

"Among 10 cases of severe Covid-19 with onset after the first dose, 9 occurred in placebo recipients and 1 in a BNT162b2 recipient."

Safety without efficacy does not mean much.

Masks do protect the wearer.

People wearing masks are less likely to spread the virus.

Masks differ in their effectiveness. They must fit, be worn properly, and be discarded or laundered properly.

Masks must be used in conjunction with social distancing and hand hygiene.

Yes, an invisible tattoo has been developed by MIT to identify a person who has had a vaccine. It is intended for use in developing countries where vaccine record keeping is poor. It is not a part of any of the new coronavirus vaccines.

fast forward to minute 1:04. they took homeless people and told them they could have a place to stay if they would get a microchip in their body.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnh5OGwcWB0

if people don't think that's f'ed up I don't know what to say.

the video is not political it's about beards and haircuts and this homeless guy getting a haircut admitted they were going to put chips in his body.

they are testing the technology on homeless people.
