at Christmas, we learned all about Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in Scouts, we took vaccines to help
eradicate Measles, Mumps and Rubella. I received comic books in school printed by the electric
company, which taught me how to "Make Every Kilowatt Count". ( To this day, I turn off and
unplug anything in an empty room that I am not using). Smokey the Bear taught us the danger
of cars sparking fires in dry brush areas and Marlo Thomas sang "Free to be You and Me" where
I learned to respect race, creed, and religious differences in others. My dad fed me Sashimi and
mom decorated the house with all the beautiful Japanese objects dad collected after living in
Okinawa before I was born. The weirdest thing I saw in public were throngs of Hara Krishna's,
but my parents brought me to one of their vegetarian restaurants because my cousin wanted to
go and they were not about to tell her that we thought unflavored yogurt dip sounded awful. Mom
bought all our produce straight off the field stands from people who were not citizens, she bought
our seafood off the boats at the fishing dock and we camped in Mexico where I was encouraged
and allowed to play with kids at the campgrounds who could not speak English.

I went to high school with Mike Pompeo, he graduated a year behind me. We all loved our foreign
exchange students and they loved us. No high school event was complete without our two Iraqi
sisters, and our two twin sisters from Czechoslovakia because our parents explained to us all the
horrors their father's went thru to bring them to live here and we were glad to have them.

I say all this because it all led to the 1980's when I became an adult and saw women enter college
to get MBA's by droves. People of all race, creed, religion and gender were welcomed into college
and the work force. Suddenly American's had money and real earning power. Then the military
allowed women to fly, fight and serve combat and closed quarters were no longer separate. It
was a great policy, while their were hiccups along the way like The Tail Hook Scandal, it actually
was accepted more than it was rejected and the younger people had a much easier time accepting
and respecting the new situation.

If Covid had hit back in the 1970's or '80's, people would be far more willing to band together
and not fight. There would be much more cooperation and consideration, and respect for the
science. When HIV hit, myself and the entire military had to have regular blood testing, no matter what.
HIV was taken so seriously that nobody serving was going to be allowed to go undiagnosed
and unknown. I find this attitude of bullying one another over trying to fight Covid absolutely
perplexing. Imagine if this attitude was taken when the Polio vaccine was developed and distributed.
Like I saw on a meme recently, if Fox News was around back then, we would still be fighting Polio.
Back in those times, the science was not being politicized as it is now. The science still got things wrong from time to time, but at least people didn't think they were being purposely lied to and isled. With the introduction of COVID, we have seen how deceitful, flawed and inept "the science" has been made.

Now, hold on...

Here is real science by a real doctor, not a fake one who plays one in White House press conferences. It is a transcript of an interview with Covid expert Dr Peter McCullough. He has been giving interviews all over the world since this plandemic began. He constantly monitors research for the latest information to treat his own patients. He said Fauxi and the CDC are nine months behind in their information.

A friend with a PhD in Genetics told me, "Scientists are not saints. They have families to feed and mortgages to pay. If they are threatened to play along with a lie or lose their job or even their entire career, they will usually comply."

Think of the billions of dollars Big Pharma has to bribe people like politicians, public health officials, bureaucrats, doctors, hospital administrators, journalists, to keep their mouths shut and play their game.

It's always:

1. Hospital beds excuse
2. Unvaccinated kids excuse (they claim you're engendering children who can't take the vaccine)
3. High risk grandparents excuse

Clearly the vaccine doesn't work very well, if they're still obsessed over what the unvaccinated are doing

How about giving us something that is not behind a payment/info gathering wall?

1. Really???
2. My Grandsons (2, 5, 7) are unvaccinated and their (vaccinated) Parents don't want them to be.
3. This 73 year old Granny is unvaccinated and doesn't want your protection. Grandpa is vaccinated.

We all got together for the Holidays. The way we and our children see it, there is no guarantee that we grandparents will see another Christmas at our ages. COVID notwithstanding.

That seems to be the case for liberals. Apparently COVID vaccines don't actually work until all 7 billion people on earth are vaccinated AND boostered within 9 months.
