ACP45, I think you are listening to the big, mouthed Marjorie Taylor Green. Your stance sounds similar to hers. Please know these problems are not as simple as you think! There are many issues that complicate it. And choosing the best solution will not please or solve all problems.

Who created that massive National Debts? It is not Congress. Joe Biden's massive spending for almost 3.5 years, mostly for Social Services buying and luring people to v**e for him.

In 2021, There was the almost $6 trillion passed by Congress to fix and restructure our aging infrastructure. What happened to that money. Nothing was done. Our infrastructure until now are collapsing and crumbling. It was a baby fix here and there, and the money just disappeared over time.

The massive spending and printing of the dollars have brought inflation to the rim since WW2. The high national debts incur interest expense annually of about $650 added to the debts. Now that the US Treasury rates have gone higher, that even accelerates the interest incurred charge to the debts.

The stupid and dumb Bidenomics aggravated that massive debts US has now. IMF warned the US that due to the highest national debts; our monetary policy will succumb to be under other national currency preferably the BRICS.

You know what? Last night's invites of tens of thousands of journalists and correspondents' dinner was an E******N CAMPAIGN of Joe Biden, spending our taxes again. And those invited guests some of them from FoxNews, must think twice how Biden tries to lure them. Biden was so happy last night seeing these thousands of guests so friendly and coddling him. How much did that cost the taxpayers?

There is no other one you could choose as Speaker of the House better than Mike Johnson. His problems were also that of former Speaker McCarthy. GOP Congress and Senate have so many RHINOS. They act alone to please their own. That is not leadership. That is why strong leadership is necessary under these very complex circumstances, and Mike is trying hard despite of so many rhinos.

Your first paragraph above isn't quoting me. It uses the quotes FROM one of the gov't agencies your "articles" cited.

First, 1,268,008 "a*****e e***t" reports doesn't mean all those reports were about death.

Second, regarding the time and effort it takes to submit a report:
I was one of those people who found the V***S website after my SECOND (of the first series of 2) M*****a vac. I did it because at the time, what was being said was that people might have a "mild fever" and "slight" body aches. I was flat on my back for an entire day, felt as bad as if I had the flu. I knew it was my body doing what it was supposed to but I was concerned that unless people knew there was a chance for a severe reaction, they wouldn't understand and never get fully immunized and the country would never hit that 90% mark. Which is exactly what happened. 🥺
But it helped. Did you know that the 3rd dose of M*****a was lowered? I'm not a doctor but I know reporting by me and people like me helped make that difference. Even though we never quite got to the point of stopping the v***s from mutating here, a lot fewer people died than would have if no one was v******ted.

Third, re 2/3 of V***S reports coming from doctors and nurses, in my very Red county there were many nurses who were in your far-red fringe camp, convinced that any 'jab' was bad and campaigned against being "forced" to get it as a condition if employment. Since slightly more than half the states are red, that stat doesn't surprise me at all.

But you're going to believe what you want to believe regardless of the facts. If I've learned nothing else on OPP, I've learned that is true of many members here.

It's unfortunate because Red states and counties during the second half of 2020 and through the first half of 2022 had more C***D deaths per thousand because...
a) ...more red state residents refused to "get the jab" or never went beyond the first after it became a red "thing" not to.
b)...refused to wear a mask to protect themselves OR THOSE AROUND THEM (would true Christians really do that?), because THAT was also a "red thing" to do.

The articles and studies on the JAMA and V***S sites make it quite clear that barring a very few extreme incidents the v*****es are safe for almost everyone. But because you all have done an excellent job of convincing people otherwise, the ramifications will continue long into the future: not only in the deaths of today, but in the people who never got even one "jab" but continue to have the side effects of having the C***D v***s.

I give you a link to an article from the Journal of the American Medical Association and you respond with pictures from an... Article? ...in a website for FRWNs.
And I'm the crazy person? 🙄

"The CDC and FDA jointly established the V*****e A*****e E***ts Reporting System, or V***S, in 1990 as a way for people to report post-v******tion health issues. These could include allergic reactions, intestinal conditions, blood clots, or other problems that may or may not be related to a v*****e. While V***S cannot determine whether an a*****e e***t was caused by a v******tion, patterns in reporting may suggest a need for further evaluation to assess potential safety concerns.

Since the emergence of C****-** v*****es, however, the database has garnered more dubious notoriety. Anti-v******tion fringe groups have attempted to spin false stories using V***S data, adding to misinformation about the safety of C****-** v******tions."

"The V***S database contains information on UNVERIFIED [emph. added] reports of a*****e e***ts (illnesses, health problems and/or symptoms) following immunization with US-licensed v*****es. Reports are accepted from anyone and can be submitted electronically at www.v***s.hhs.gov."
