This is why “covid” will inevitably end soon, non compliance by the “norms”. Congrats “norms”. They will create a theater for exit though, so it doesn’t look like it’s in direct reaction to your non compliance.

When Novavax is approved (FDA has the final paperwork now) I will consider it.

I think many not vaccinated would have been if there had been other options that were different.
Many were willing but not for what is available.

-- US has far more un-vaxxed people than South Africa. But of course "they" blame unvaxxed poor countries to try to make some kind of connection of too many unvaxxed to strain origin. Soon "they" will say heavily unvaxxed Mt. Everest is where the next strain originated, rather than Alabama and Mississippi.

-- If "they" do not believe China's 5,000 total Covid death count, why do "they" say we should believe that China vaxxed their entire populace (with a legit vaccine)? Do not believe any stats. FDA used to say 99.9 percent of over 65s are vaxxed. Then reduced to 95% the day after the lie went viral. Soon, they will reduce to 90% after finding more discrepancies (CA number suggests 85% will be the final number).

-- Netherlands ordered doses 4,5, and 6 recently. The scam is so obvious now, that only 23 percent of Americans still believe in what "they" say.

Triple boosted coworkers have come down with Covid. If you're just as likely to get Covid as someone who isn't vaxxed, even more so, what's the point? To die "suddenly or unexpectedly" or to have new health issues to worry about? Strokes, blood clots, heart problems?
You get the shots and you get sick as a dog and then you get Covid anyway. Not too smart if you ask me. Even a senile old derelict like Usurper Joe is pushing the vaxx and he's wrong on everything.

Are you sure he's avoiding you because of the vaccine or something like BO? Seriously...how do you actually know?

Incorrect ^^^

62.6% already got the booster for age 65+ which are eligible for the booster

56.4% already got the booster for age 50+ which are eligible for the booster

The lie is that we all need to be vax, that vax provides immunity, that vax prevents transmission, etc, etc, etc....

3) they are not in a high risk category anyway

And I also know some who are unvaccinated who haven’t had COVID at all, even though they’ve been exposed to it and the narrative has been that if you’re unvaccinated, you will definitely die from COVID.
Yep, it’s all a crock. The facts are clear now, this thing is no big deal for nearly all of us. If you get it, you’re sent home with instructions to treat yourself just like we used to for the common cold. It’s a little worse than the common cold, but our bodies are built for this kind of fight already. These people have made us covid crazy not able to think because they told us all we’re going to die.
