His constant flip-flopping, him constantly being wrong and then later changing his mind.

So you posted a lie.
Very common for people to post links to social media they have not read and apply their own perceptions to fill in the details.

People believe anything that seems to validate their own perceptions.

They do look promising. But they are not cheap and there's still a chance they may not work on many patients. If we get a variant that can bypass the vaccine, then they may bypass these as well.

Our natural immunity is what we need to rely on. Wearing masks, social distancing, isolation is in fact weakening our immune systems. My grandson who is just over 2 is being assaulted by what seems to be PERSISTENT respiratory infections that his body has had a hard time fighting off. Why? A year in which he was largely deprived of the opportunity to build his immune system. He's getting better but all this could have been avoided.

This is idiocy.

The boots on the ground are growing tired of it.

It just seem obvious to me that the vaccines do not work. They don't even provide a small amount of safety for those who have them.

I feel like we just have to hold on until the next election... that is the only way we can get ride of Faucci.
That’s just not true. The vaccines do work at keeping people from having the worst effects of the virus. Sure, there are some breakthrough cases that end up with serious illness, but the vast majority of breakthrough cases saw milder symptoms than they would have without the vaccine. The vulnerable population (meaning generally older or multiple co-morbidities) should go ahead and get the vaccine and younger, healthier people should decide if it’s worth it. But of course I feel that EVERYONE should have a choice, just as they do the flu vaccine.

Watch it be "so bad" that they disable in-person voting and ONLY allow xeroxed ...uhh... I mean mail-in ballots.

Viruses mutate because that’s what viruses do.

The Delta variant first emerged in December amongst the 1.4 billion unvaccinated people in India.

The Lambda variant first emerged in August, 2020 in Peru and has since been identified in more than 27 countries.

Thus far, the Delta variant is the most easily transmissible which is why it is now the most dominate, world wide.

I believe this is true. I know in the early 2000’s, my own children went to daycare starting as infants and got the usual bout of illnesses there because daycare facilities are little Petri dishes. My cousin who had a live-in nanny and others who stayed home with their kids always told me their kids never got sick and daycare was bad for them, but when those kids went to school in either a Mother’s Day Out program around age 3 or 4 and/or later when they started kindergarten they were constantly getting sick and my kids never got sick. It’s a trade-off — either they get sick when they’re babies or get sick when they are toddlers or older children. Either way they are going to get sick.

We have interrupted that normal cycle for the older kids and I believe that is what is driving the epidemic of RSV cases we have seen recently in children.

The so-called "vaccines" do not provide immunity, they do not stop the inoculated from spreading the virus, and they apparently have to be maintained with regular booster shots, perhaps forever.

Slowing this down interminably just makes it go on forever. The capacity of the hospitals has been a legitimate concern, but we are far enough into this now that most of the population has been exposed to this virus. The never ending politically-motivated campaigns to incite mass panic and hysteria are counterproductive and unhelpful.

It is time for us to be courageous and face this head on. The faster we get through this, the faster it will be over.

Of course that does not mean that all humans will be immune to any and all pathogens afterwards from now on. Some new disease will be along in a few years and we will have to fight that off as well. Such is life on Earth for our species.

Trump was right all along. Everyone knows regular household bleach kills the virus. And we already use bleach to purify water. What we should do is inject or drink the bleach in a diluted solution, just as President Trump said. As our bodies build tolerance for the bleach higher concentrations could be used along with profalactic cloriquine which was already proven to work in Swaziland and Borneo. The nono bots in the solution will seek out and literally eat the virus atoms.

THIS is the obvious answer, you have to clense your body. People like Fauxi are making money off of selling masks, and fear. Phizer makes billions off their so-called vaccine, which is really just poison. Are you going to let them poison your body? And your mind?

I'm going to Walmart right now to stock up ahead of all the sheeple who will rush to hoard the supply as soon as the truth gets out.

And we have to reinstate Trump back into his rightful position as President. He never would have let this get like this. The kickback on the throughput makes it imperative to restore the President for life.
