I'm not opposed to trying alternative treatments, but the medical profession is held to different standards than lay people.

So, any Covid treatment that is not the one trumpeted by the Queen Ant, is seen as the enemy, and will be attacked by the collective ant colony.

Its not about reasoning, or even science, its about the group (Libs) sticking together to protect its fragile members, so they don't have to stand alone...its the Libs natural reaction to their own raw emotion of fear.

The media & DNC signals to the Lib colony what they should fear, and who/what they should attack, & then they comply.

Pubs in this thread are trying to use logic, & reasoning, while the Libs only respond to emotional fear through group think, & collectivism.

I used to trust the doctors. Now that I know who pulls their strings I'm a little hesitant.

High risks having had the Pfizer should get #3.
Low risks and those with other jab brands can wait.
Check with your own doc.

No controversy. Either you follow the science or you don't. The Science has spoken.

Yep. That's what my own doctor suggested, so I got the Pfizer #3 last week. The rest of the family got Moderna, so they are likely fine for the time being.

Then BlakeJones Posted.....


The Medical has been Captured by the political. Just last week, the CDC president Rochelle Walensky overruled the board of advisors which are the medical experts. They recommended against booster shots, and she said, SORRY, uncle Joe is "The Science"
CDC director overrules panel on Pfizer boosters

To which you replied....

This is an open admission that the politicians are to be followed, not the science. There was a short time when the science and politicians seemed to be running parallel. Not anymore. Expect that slogan to quietly disappear.


This should be front page headlines, but it isn't.

This decision isn't just science, but includes randomness, statistics and probability. Also costs, and national and global health and social concerns
