Just let the virus rip as quickly as possible around the world. If it spreads fast enough it could happen before more variants occur. Otherwise we are going to always be two steps behind.

That’s the spirit! Let’s get rid of all medicine and let natural defenses do their thing. What’s a few billion deaths if it strengthens the gene pool, eh?

This pandemic is starting to feel like one big psychological operation.
You are just now starting to think that?

NOT that COVID is a hoax -- but the continuing fear-mongering is way over the top. Reminds me of this segment of Moore's Bowling for Columbine.

If vaccines work, why do they not work?

If masks work, why do they not work?

Watch all the fear-mongering ramp up as we approach the midterms. You notice how Biden was pushing the federalization of elections at yesterday's "speech"? They will use the fear of the virus to justify a national mail-in ballot scheme so that the stage is set for widespread cheating again.

First, let's slam shut the border to the illegals who won't get vaccinated. That should be an obvious first step, but liberals are defending them and busing them to cities nationwide.

This is all going south very quickly... it's going to end up collapsing the global supply chain if these variants become bad enough and it's proven people simply lose immunity after 8 months. Nice job letting this lab made virus escape into the wild, and funding the research to do it. We're going to have to adapt and expand ICU capacity at a global level. We can't simply mask up and lock down forever.... our genetic code is going to have to adapt to this virus and kill off all the vulnerable people leaving the genetically superior specimens to adapt, like always happened in past pandemics. There's no other way with a virus that will end up endemic like the flu.

Government moves too slowly to get new vaccines for variants approved in a timely matter. Even then if these vaccines are leaky, or anti antibody dependent enhancement ever occurs, plus the resistance towards new mRNA technology when our government refuses to try to approve any inactivated virus vaccines.... This is like having the flu around except its more deadly and tends to leave people more prone to long term inflammation which results in various symptoms after the virus resolves. It's more nasty than the naysayers imply, that it's just the flu...

We'll have to continue to monitor who's dying from this...the jabbed or the unjabbed. In 2-3 months we should have more data.... though even in Israel it appears to be 80% unjabbed when you look at the per capita numbers, and mostly elderly, though there are some young people with bad genetics getting really sick. 99.9% of people under age 40-45 seem to get over it just fine, albeit there tends to be lingering inflammation. In any case I'm all for people taking the risks if they want, and making sure the people who want to be safe have access to N-95 masks and of course the vaccines we currently have approved. I'd even support retailers having senior hours in which you must also wear masks, say 7-9AM. What I don't support is no crowds, and lockdowns. People should be able to take risks if they want, and lets get this virus through the population faster.
