This is what happens when vaccines are rejected via misinformation. If the internet existed when the polio vaccine was developed there would be many more people in wheelchairs today.

Also, isn't it interesting that the MSM isn't reporting on the COVID surge in blue states? I wonder why...

Massachusetts ranks 37 for cases per capita.

Wonder if that's because of the mask mandates.

Could be.

But are those just positive testing results and not illnesses?
You know there has been much speculation about testing cycles used.

WHO Admits High-Cycle PCR Tests Produce COVID False Positives
"Yet a PCR test instruction document from the CDC that had been revised five times as of July 13, 2020, specified testing and interpretation of the test using a Ct of 40. On September 28, 2020, a study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases from Jaafar et al. had asserted, based on patient labs and clinical data involving nearly 4,000 patients, that a Ct of 30 was appropriate for making public policy. An update to the CDC instructions for PCR testing from December 1, 2020, still uses a Ct of 40."

We're talking about MA. The New England states have the highest vaccination rates in the country. The vaccines aren't working. It's time to accept that and find a new strategy to control covid.

I thought we were told that the vaccines would prevent people from getting sick?

That's what I remember as well. They need more time to create a vaccine that actually works but instead they enforce the same things that haven't worked for 19 months breaking everyone's spirit in the process while continually trying to mandate this vaccine on everyone even children now.

I must have missed that news flash or am just smarter than most

I never operate or have operated under the assumption that by being vaccinated, I am not going to get Covid or get sick. My assumption has always been that if and when I get it, being vaccinated will help MITIGATE the symptoms that I may experience. Please tell me there are more out there that got this message??

67% is still not high enough to achieve any kind of 'herd immunity'.



Per cent positive is 1.96 in MA

South Carolina positive rate is 11%

Those masks just might be working.

That has nothing to do with what's going on in Massachusetts right now even though everywhere is under a mask mandate. I won't ask you to address that, because I know you can't.
