This times eleventy billion. Plus no welfare for unlawful immigrants.

I could be dead next week of COVID but after 2 years, barely a sniffle. If you are paralyzed by fear you have probably been listing to too many anti-vaxers lies and propaganda. You can be safe and work. About 2/3s of the country does it every day.


And in my experience, its not the media/DNC. Its conservative church leaders and Trump worshipers that would rather take cattle de-wormer instead of a proven vaccine. As usual, conservatives like to blame anyone else for their own short comings. Specifically when their lies and propaganda becomes more obvious by the day.

The government bribing former employees? Really? This is planet earth. Doesn't make sense.
Government intervention is the exact opposite of a free market. How can you sit there and claim that "the free market is working like you want it to" when you're responding to a post explaining that it's not a free market? Do you even understand the concept? No, you don't. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Another bad report under the current fascist administration. I don't think they are going to reach the 3.6% UE that was reported under the previous administration despite them being handed the keys to a recovering/growing economy after the plandemic.

Pfizer vaccine is only 42% effective against Delta.

And after almost 2 years NO vaccine, NOT changing a single thing I did, not wearing a mask I am PERFECTLY fine. Damn immune system, never a vaccine in my life. UGH!

LOL

That's quite a remarkable thing for someone in your profession to say, considering that the overwhelming majority of lies and propaganda has been coming from, well, your side.

Seriously, doc. Complain all you like about people who you think are misinformed about the shots being marketed as vaccines. Have at it. Blare your free medical advice far and wide.

But when are you going to address the elephant in the room, and start complaining about the severity of restrictions compared with the risk presented by the virus? When are you going to complain about the smear campaigns against two safe, common drugs?

When are you, as a doctor, going to attack the politicization of the virus, instead of people who may have been victimized by that politicization? Don't you see that you're going after the wrong people? You probably don't. You're probably just as manipulated as everyone else. You'll probably volunteer to push me into the boxcar, when the time comes.

ETA: Somehow I missed this:

You can't use the pandemic as an excuse. There are no more forced shutdowns. America is "open for business".

Delta cannot be used as an excuse. There is no forced shutdown of the economy.
