Apparently, he hosts a show on a local radio station in Nashville, TN., which would explain why the vast majority of the country has never heard of him, either.

Their belief may be right - I personally believe we don’t have enough data to say one way or the other yet - but this is just irresponsible and juvenile level reporting.

And look how many on the left are buying it? Lol. Have people really lost that much ability to have intelligent thought?
So you're denying this talk show host has Covid?

I don’t know everything this guy said, but the media and the leftists using this case as an example of “see what happens when you are not vaccinated” is pure BS. For balance and to be a real journalist, that could have just as easily found a champion of the vaccines who is now seriously ill from COVID. Do you understand that? Do you also know that latest data out of Israel is showing that just as many vacc and in-vacced people are getting Delta? So far the vaccines seem to be helping lower the death count, but that number is rising even for the vaccinated. Bottom line. There is a lot we don’t know yet and won’t know for at least another 12-24 months. It is irresponsible and juvenile in thinking to jump on either the COVID vaccine or anti vaccine bandwagon.

Thanks for the cherry-picked story.
Here are two more:


I have a friend who suffers from tremors since being fully vaccinated with Pfizer. Never happened to her previously.



My cousin has been rushed to the hospital twice after being fully vaccinated with Pfizer. The first time, she could not form words clearly and her thinking process was messed up. The second time, she passed out, and upon recovering consciousness could not form words to speak.
The hospital did every test necessary to discover a cause, with no result.

All they said was it must be some "neurological" issue.

I understand how frightening that must be and why it would be discouraging. All I can say is that I, too, was nervous about getting the vaccine, but everyone in my family did just fine. We each had short-lived side effects, i.e., sore arm, swollen lymph nodes, and in one case, a bout of chills the second day, but that was it.

But were your friend or cousin on the radio everyday dissing the vaccine? That is the difference here. This report is about a media host who many people listen to and believe.

I hope your friend and cousin can find better doctors and get real answers to their problems.

Mine (Belling) doesn't nag people to get vaccines but is not anti-vaccine either, he just states he gets all vaccines such as the flu shot and covid. Sometimes I wonder if these people actually believe this anti-vaccine stuff or they are just doing it to get ratings. It's like all mainstream republicans think they have to peddle the same narratives.

As for conservatives valuing money over life, you have to do a cost benefit analysis before you make broad sweeping changes to society to manage something that kills relatively few people, most of them in nursing homes or overweight with metabolic syndrome. I could bring up studies that show the psychological damage from locking people down, keeping kids out of school for a year, forcing them to wear masks all day.

I can tell by the behavior of people around me that they fear lockdowns more than they fear getting covid at this point. Nobody around here wants the safety nannies throwing their weight around anymore.

We certainly don't need more disruptions in the supply chain, paying people to not produce products producing more shortages, more inflation, and more corrupt politicians spending recklessly. I think there are certain elements who want to create a bigger crisis so they can engineer a solution, a solution that is more authoritarian in nature.

Unfortunately too many of these types are doing victory laps every time a story like this comes out that they can't see the forrest for the trees.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tim...ta-strain/amp/

New Health Ministry statistics indicated that, on average, the Pfizer shot — the vaccine given to nearly all Israelis — is now just 39% effective against infection, while being only 41% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID. Previously, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was well over 90% effective against infection.

He not only made his own choice but influenced others to follow that same bad path. I hope he recovers and is able to undo some of the damage.
