Ever notice many of the names calling for the reduction in the worlds human population, are also the same ones that keep popping as involved somehow in the history of this mess?

#3 At this time I have lost several friends my age not long after they were stuck. Reports of others also. This is a long term experiment with a definite shorter lifespan for those stuck. I give up talking about this to the public. It is like the politics rule the mind.

Ever notice many of the names calling for the reduction in the worlds human population...

Yes! Interesting isn't it?

At this time I have lost several friends my age not long after they were stuck.

By design. I also know of colleagues and associates that checked out shortly after being stuck. I will not take this vaccine.

#5 Fat Bob...I no longer have 'friends my age' and I'm still avoiding the jab.

Anything the gummit pushes that hard should be looked at with skeptisism.

#10 How many jabs/year are you house arrest people up to now? 3?

At what point, if you don't mind, is hiding in your bedroom gaining 50 pounds with a maxi pad on your face actually more dangerous than a 1/100 infection rate, 1/100 of infections being bad, and 1/100 of bad infections 'leading' towards a fatality?

#12 Thanks Bob! It's all coming back to me now. Never had a problem with those critters during my few visits to the ROK. I always attributed it to the howling frigid weather. Now I knows !

#13 At the risk of sounding pedantic, swksvolFF, your diatribe has 3 little misconceptions.
(a) The infection rate is not constant - it increases with the fraction of the infected in the population.
(b) The death rate is not constant - it depends on the number of sick relative to the available medical services*.
(c) If vaccination doesn't make you immune for life, undergoing the disease - even if you recover (see b) won't make you immune for life (think common cold).
Other than these three - really minor points, your argument is perfectly cogent & rational.

*Lets do an example.
A state has 1000 ventilators. Survival rate for people who need one is (let say just for example) 70%. Survival rate of people who need ventilator but don't get one is 0%. Now, as long as you have less than 1000 seriously ill 70% survive. If you have more than 1000, some will not survive. And some doc gets the fun of deciding who lives and who dies.

#14 I don't know g(r)om...."your results may vary."

When someone mentions hospital ventilator here, they might as well be saying hospital hospice.

#15 ^In Israel survival rate of people on ventilator is like > 90%.

On the other hand, I know this 26 years old guy who had Covid. Nowadays, he walks a 100 meters, he has to sit & rest. Before Covid, he was an officer in Golani recon.

#18 I had a seat on that bus 15 months ago.

Then I started to notice that fellow passengers had underlying psychosis of hypochondria which festered in the ideal environment making my wife look like Pigpen, to the point they couldn't even (paper) mask effectively.

My favorite, to date, is the unsolicited advance into my place of business to sing the Song of Covid, taking the mask off to do so, from 5 yards out, yelling to make up the difference. Yeah. No spittle there.

Close second, similar circumstances, maskless in here, gets in car, puts mask on.

I mean, I have one hundred stories per day of Not-Covid. Never have I advocated someone do something they are not comfortable with. Never have I demanded someone do what I would not do myself. Those favors have only been wielded against me.

Mask works. Great. Wear your mask, I"m no threat. Vax works. Great. Get your Vax, I'm no threat.

Exercise, Diet, Good Attitude, and not licking doorknobs, so pardon me if putting a paper bag over your head seems a bit silly.

#19 Even those MFs hung it up 6 months ago. And according to the experts and overwatch class, everyone between 90*W and 110*W should be dead.

Whatever this Covid is, there Is a shitpot of evidence of what it Is Not.

#20 I read a deal theorizing the real vax rate is more around 50% instead of 67%, explaining the quick and jerky maneuver from carrot to stick.

I also think that the magnet people, if not manufactured they should have been, is being used as a Fred Phelps type parody tool to bash those not all-in for the vax.

I'm not arguing a point, just presenting evidence, come to your own conclusions. We have been shaking hands and drinking beer shoulder to shoulder for over 6 months now, and no cases. We are not isolated like you may think, one harvest crew I heard Afrikaans, Australian, Ontario, and I US Georgia. No masks. Cattlemen visit from across the globe. No masks.
