They are every bit as valid as all the comparisons to Hitler the Left made about Trump.

And the vaccines don't provide immunity or stop you from spreading it to others.

They only minimize the symptoms to the point where the vaccinated aren't even aware that they have it and are potentially spreading it.

Just like "global warming," government mandates really can't stop mother nature.

We need to stop this constant BS about masks and lockdowns. If you're afraid, stay home. Otherwise, live a normal life.

We are committing suicide over the fools errand of trying for 100% safety in everything we do.

I have taken precautions that have statistically held up to making covid 99% survivable!


here are my precautions:




1. Live my life without a mask

2. Live my life without a vax

3. Live my life without always worrying that all the doom and gloom/sky is falling propaganda the left spews is true...especially since they have decades of being wrong!

Sounds like a good plan.

So what's the plan if you are one of the unlucky 1% that ends up on a ventilator?

If you want to convince people to get the vaccine, try being truthful and honest. If you lie, no one will listen to you or take you seriously. Of course, some people just enjoy vaccine shaming others as a means to feel superior. If that's your thing, great, whatever you gotta do to feel good about yourself I guess.
Exactly. The virus is here, regardless of vaccinated or not. Unless every country seals it's borders, and people (vaccinated or not) stop interacting with each other for how ever long it takes to burn out....this virus isn't going anywhere.

Well, we already know that it was the ventilators that were doing the killing initially, and there's plenty of effective treatments out there that the big pharma and the globalist don't want us to know about, so...I'll either get better with one of those treatments or I'll die.



We all die sometime...


I choose to LIVE up until that time!


Didn't someone once say something about dying on your feet rather than living on your knees?


Besides, I have a 99.??% chance of survival by doing nothing, Those that mask and vax still only have a 99.??% chance at survival, but with an unknown likelihood of being killed by the vax itself...so I'll just spin one wheel instead of two, thank you very much!

Immigration status is not even a variable in epidemiological models, because it is irrelevant. Your legal status has zero impact on your ability to transmit a virus.

Which is not the norm for the majority of the federal government. That’s why so many work from home.

You might want to look at the graph at the link which shows that as of March 24, 2021 (the last date reported*), only 2% of those admitted with COVID are ventilated or intubated IF you are talking about one's overall chances now of ending up in an ICU due to COVID if s/he currently COVID-free. Combine that with the fact that the GREAT majority of people who get COVID will have no or very mild symptoms, I think your 1% figure is ridiculous.

*for which I have no explanation -- does anyone else?

Accept the reality! Same as when you drive your car down the street every day.

There's no such thing as 100% safety!
