At this point most likely the vast majority wouldn't bother to get a fake card until they're forced to. Under normal times and a normal administration those things likely wouldn't happen but these are not normal times and we don't have a normal administration.

Or just tell everyone you self-identify as someone who has been vaccinated.



Or they could just say they're an illegal...then, even if they have covid, they could probably get a free plane trip across country to visit their friends or relatives.

No I wouldn’t, number one reason it is dishonest and it wouldn’t be right.

Thats about 8.09x10^(-5) or 0.0000809 or 0.00809% of the world population.

Any more numbers that you want to sound scary and cause panic, which really are quite unimpressive?


An average of 163,898 people die each day on this planet. Covid or not.

At that rate, since the covid monster started, that is right around 89,734,155 people who have died. So how does your 607,000 compare to that number? It compares thusly: 0.67% of those deaths were due to covid over that time period. And that number is likely inflated.


So you'll have to excuse me if your "scary number" doesn't have me ****ing my pants. For anyone who understands numbers and statistics, your number is quite quotidian.

I'm far more worried about cancer, since the rate there is somewhere between 25 and 50%. But y'all don't have a vax for that, do you? Nope. Curing cancer would cut WAY TOO DEEPLY into Big Med's revenue stream, wouldn't it? Because we wouldn't be dealing with a piddly-ass sub half percent. We'd be dealing with more along the lines of fifty percent. That would be half the population NOT paying exorbitant prices for cancer treatment somewhere along the way. Not prudent, eh?

I don’t need fake vaccine or fake card, I have the real one.

Hey, you just gave me an idea. I speak Spanish and at one time when I did so regularly, I was told that I had absolutely zero "gringo" accent. So if I practiced up a bit, got a good tan going, took a plane to Mexico D.F. and then waltzed across our southern border shouting, "Voy a votar Biden, voy a votar Biden," would I be left alone once I was given a new home and car?

Yeah, I’m special because I got the vaccine & the card to prove it. You too could be special.

lol - you know of course the 607k is just US deaths, not global. And if you were one of those 607k, or one of your family members was one of those, it would matter to you.

Sorry to get you all triggered up.
