It is people in their 20s and early 30s who have the greatest severe side effects, including deaths, from the v*****e. There have been very few severe side effects in people past middle age.

I agree with follow the science. What science studies are you basing your decisions on? Were these studies large studies with control groups? Were they paid for by groups with political agendas? Were they paid for by our government? How about methodology? Were the subjects of the study from a wide range of ages, physical condition, and health? If it was a drug study, was the drug given in recommended doses? And very important, if it was a drug study, do the people who funded or carried out the study have a financial stake in the outcome?

These are just a few of the questions that should be asked before accepting the conclusions as "science". Also, there is a big difference between follow the science and follow the words of someone who claims to speak for science.

I'm hoping that at some point...called the "tipping point"... people on a large scale will realize that the media is not to be trusted. They are lying to us both outright AND by omission. They think that if they don't cover something, it isn't true. But people are starting to realize this about the MSM and are going elsewhere for reliable information now.

One of the main things that is starting to stick in peoples' minds is the recovery rate of C***d. It is a very high rate for almost everyone except the very elderly. A 98% recovery rate just can't be ignored! That is one elephant in the room. Another "elephant" is that the "v*****e" is k*****g people...and not just a few. And they are seeing that it is not as "safe and effective" as the MSM is reporting. There are several more "elephants" in the room too that the MSM are ignoring, hoping people will be dumb enough not to question them. There will always be sheeple who will blindly follow along because they aren't the type to question. But there are more and more people who are stepping back and taking a look at the big picture and listening to scientists and doctors who know what's really going on. People who are on the inside of the research and development aspects of the "v*****e" who aren't afraid to pull away from the pack of liars and get the t***h out there. My own doctor is one of them.

The Dems are building up for another big crisis. They might try to make it C***d-related, or it might be something else entirely, but they only have a year to get it ready. And I think people are becoming very wary and are keeping alert to this probability. I hope it's enough people.

I reckon that the risk of a*****e e***ts outweighs that almost insignificant risk.

Keep in mind that we have absolutely no data on long term effects, and won't have any for years.

I look at it this way; in any truly "scientific" study, there must be a "control group",

and I have boldly volunteered for that "hazardous duty".

Anti, It sounds to me that you do not have a high regard for our current Speaker of the House. I am a liberal Democrat that thinks that she is a tough cookie that defends our democracy ( small d ) with passion and sk**l.
I sincerely hope that the GOP finds its gonads, and again will put up reasonable and honorable candidates for office. I am a strong believer in a two party system in this republic. Either the Republicans throw out the liars, Q***n and the armed far right m*****as and n**is or it will continue to decline to oblivion.

It's mind numbing that the right is so far behind the reality, looking at the regions that have much higher ratios of v******ted people it is easily seen that they have very little in the way of hospitalized C***d patients

T***smission, the rate it multiplies depends on how many people are susceptible to getting it, when there are less people the people exposed goes down exponentially, which is the factor that seems to make this so hard for those on the right to comprehend.

Those who refuse to get v******ted for mostly political reasons are exacerbating it in their communities, especially when they live in a region where everyone is infected with right wing politics and ignorance.

This p******c now belongs to unv******ted people, we'll see how long it takes for them to wise up. Every unv******ted person who gets sick or dies is going to have exposed it to people they love, almost every person who ends up hospitalized is expressing regret for having been so wrong.

The P******c is OVER

It’s over.

C****-** isn’t gone, of course. The c****av***s, the current novel one and its variants as well as other such v***ses, will never be gone, and every public health expert knows that.

And the p******c is still raging in other parts of the world, especially in India.

But in the United States, the emergency is over. The epidemic in America is like a poisoned rat, limping, staggering, crawling, and gasping its last breaths. The poison is the v*****e now jabbed into the arms of most adults.

P******c, thou art slain.

We can say that without diminishing in any way the lethality of the past year, and without having to debate the value of the interventions and sacrifices of the last 14 months.

This was a crisis. It was a plague. Now, in the U.S., it’s just a v***s.

In countries such as the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Israel, the c****av***s is now one of countless risks and threats to human health. And like all other risks, prudence dictates we mitigate it. But reasonable humans do not demand that risks be reduced to zero at any cost.

Driving, swimming, hiking, drinking, eating, making love, raising children — all of these things are risky. Living is a risk. For the past 14 months, we’ve been asked and ordered to give up a lot of living in order to save lives. It’s time to start living again.

This will not be easy for many. Public health officials won’t want their moment to end. Mayors and county executives won’t want to give up their emergency powers. The media will h**e to lose an ever-present threat with which to scare the public daily.

And many people, scarred and altered by 14 months of lockdowns, the half-million deaths, and the constant reminders of invisible germs, will have trouble giving up their masks or reentering the world.

Some will choose to stay quarantined or even keep wearing masks outdoors. That’s sad, but it’s their right. Just as it is ours to acknowledge the facts and readjust our routine accordingly.

While the media greeted the May 13 loosening of mask guidance as an all-nearly-clear declaration from the White House, it is up to neither the media nor the government to declare normalcy. The remaining restrictions — on the unv******ted, especially on children — also need to be ended whether Joe Biden or Anthony F***i is ready or not.

What does it mean, then, to accept that the emergency is over?

All schools should open five days a week. Workers should return to the office. All of us should toss our masks in the trash.

Churches and bars should be filled to wh**ever the fire marshal will allow, so that we can pray, sing, and revel as before.

This is already what life is like in much of the country. If you live in Texas or Florida or Missouri, where infection rates are low and hospitalizations are falling while masks are rare and everything’s open, you might say the p******c is already over. You’d be right.

Why, you ask? It's simple, really.

If you don't know where you came from and how you got where you are, you'll never know where you are going.

A nation's history - the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, the dark and the light - is a nation's legacy.
Destroy a nation's legacy and you destroy the nation. Our American history is just another l*****t battlefield.


A nation that is not proud of its history,
cannot be confident in its future.

A nation that is not certain of its values,
cannot summon the will to defend them.
President Donald Trump

We are replacing math and science with critical race theory. We will soon become a third rate nation. This great nation is being destroyed from within by the corrupt politicians and the ignorant v**ers who cast their v**es for these criminals. We need to give them a land of their own like say the Aleutian Islands where they can establish their own form of Marxist Socialist C*******t Government. Too bad they never had a chance to go east of the Berlin Wall to see how C*******t life put a generation of Berliner’s lives on hold for fifty years. If they had done so, they would fall on their knees and praise the Lord for our founding fathers, the f**g and historical figures who made this country the best place of all nations in which to live and a place where their dreams have the best chance to become true!
