Indeed it is....and I wonder how many understand her meaning of 'uneducated' in quotes.
My grandmother often used the term "educated fool". I don't hear it as much these days as in her day 50-60 years ago, but we are surrounded by them today in concentrations 10 times - hell....50 times - what it was in 1965. Today's proliferation of college indoctrinated fools trained to listen, obey, and never think at all is why we're in the mess we're in.
The last place to search for education today is on a college campus.
I have noticed this with some PHDs. Some of the most educated people are truly the most indoctrinated people and the more time spent in the world of academia, the less in touch with people who live and work everyday in the “real world”.
No...you are not fully immunized. You can still get COVID-19 even with the vaccines which appear to be giving many people a false sense of security that they're now fully immune. Not true.
A very tiny percentage will get a significant illness after being vaccinated. Some of them would die with being vaccinated.
It's rather interesting how you guys so blissfully dismiss some mysterious deaths that occurred in healthy individuals right after the vaccines. We should apply the same standard to Covid deaths.
Everything has risk but the risk of the vaccine is far less than COVID-19 even for the healthiest people.
Most people are at no risk from the virus, especially now.
Stop being a drama queen.
If you're over 75 then get the vaccine. Otherwise, use your immune system.
Your TV has really terrified you.
The risk of the virus is far greater than the risk of the vaccine for all age groups. The immunity generated by the vaccine is stronger and lasts longer than the immunity from the infection.
there are 27MM people 50-64 (one of the more vulnerable groups).
there are 5MM cases. Thus, I had a 1 in 5 chance of testing positive for the Virus. I have been fortunate to be in the vast majority - 80% - that did not.
There have been 205,000 hospitalizations in my age group. I had a 4% chance of being hospitalized, if I tested positive. That means I was 24x more likely to NOT need hospitalization. I have 0.75% chance of being hospitalized by population, or a 99x likelihood of not being hospitalized.
there have been 66,000 deaths. That means I had a 1.3% chance of dying if I tested positive, or a 98.7% chance of NOT dying if I tested positive.. I had a 0.24% chance of dying by population, or I was 400x more likely to NOT die from Covid.
People like you always talk about "ME". What about the vulnerable people you could infect? I hope these is something you want to do but cannot because you cannot prove you are vaccinated.
