- "Half a million of your countrymen are in the ground. Here's a vaccine that has been shown to offer substantial reduction in infection rates and milder effects if you're unlucky enough to actually get infected. Oh, and it's free."

- "Why must you discourage me like that?"

Some people in this country never encountered a stern kindergarten teacher, and by God, it shows.

He'd been busy denigrating every actual expert in the field in favor of his "one day, like a miracle, it will go way" approach. An ego of his size is not going to do anything to even hint that he might have been wrong.

Once again, a forum member posts something that is based on zero evidence, just something pulled straight out of a hat, and posts it as 'facts.'

What evidence does the OP have that our own government is actively 'discouraging' citizens from getting vaccinated.

A simple online search that takes seconds, show this to be absolutely false.

I don't think the government is actively discouraging it, quite the opposite, BUT the government hasn't offered us a solid message about anything Covid related, ever. It's true that the injections are actively being promoted but it's also true that we are being told that we might have to wear masks, distance, and present proof of "whatever the government wants" long into the future.

I'm not anti vax, but I haven't taken the Covid injection even though I became eligible this month. It's only going to get easier to get vaccinated going forward so I see no reason to rush out with the mob.

He kept his own jab a secret for as long as possible - you know that, right?

Response: Opinion

From my understanding Covid is 10X deadlier than the Flu.

There are 4 different arguments for getting 4 different types of shots.

No pharmaceutical can be held liable in the event of accidental death.

1.% Infection fatality rate meaning 99% who get it survive it.


The Flu has been around for 100 years.
IT killed millions in the first 4 years.
Remnants of the flu remain.
It has not gone away.
It is not going away.
Some people get the vaccine.
Some don't. I didn't.

I suspect the same will apply to this virus man made or not.
4-5 years of Chaos.

Shots for the rest of our lives.........not me ...............well at least for those who wish.

Stay Healthy. Stay Active. Eat Good .Sleep well. Best Medicine.
2 days older than dirt and no prescriptions...............

Best Wishes.

Whitmer will say 70% until 70% is reached. Then it will be a different story.

Israel is using a digital vaccine passport and facial recognition. This who don’t vaccinate do not have the same rights as those who have chosen to vaccinate.

Imagine trying to pull that off in the US.
