    The first sign of self consciousness is throwing insults.

    Out of respect for yours and my family members who passed from COVID, I will say I think it’s stupid anyone dies from the flu regardless of which one it is.

    Lastly, when you look at deaths per cases, you’ll see I’m correct. The uniqueness of COVID was not its mortality like the drug manufacturers wanted you to think. “The vaccine stops the spread.” Remember that? How many people died from the vaccine after being coerced into taking it? Do those people matter to you?

    Masks were the real solution. China already had a culture of mask wearing while sick. I myself an immunocompromised. I was so angry at people who didn’t wear masks and still get highly perturbed when people appear in public places without them while coughing or sneezing their personal fluids everywhere. It’s disgusting.

    But after all my thrashing about, I came to a very simple conclusion about life and people. You can’t force people to do anything. You can’t tell them what to do and expect them to listen. Creating a forceful or even violent consequence for this situation isn’t “correct.” It’s just more bad on top of bad.

    The truth is education is the answer to most problems. Better education reduces racism, violence, drug use, susceptibility to propaganda, increases financial decision making, emotional control, overall happiness and should absolutely give people the perspective that they should not do onto others that they would not have done upon themselves with higher standards than “derr my southern attitude is that I don’t care about me own health so I’m fine coughing on you.” What a load of shit. Some Americans set a truly low bar in that regard.

    But, I have evolved from the previous mindset you seem particularly situated on. Believe me my worst fear is that this was part of their intention. Real deaths creating permanent divide between the red and blue. Right where they want us, right? Fighting each other instead of them. Isn’t this all simply a class war? At least in America it is.

      You’re a right wing weirdo.

      None. Since when the fuck do mRNA vaccines kill people? Hell even older vaccines have negligible mortality.

      You can’t force people to do anything. You can’t tell them what to do and expect them to listen.

      You can. What do you think the legal system is?

      Real deaths creating permanent divide between the red and blue.

      Red and blue? Brother, I’m not American nor have I ever even been to America. I don’t subscribe to either side of your political aile.

          Point 1

          The mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, which have now been administered several billion times, have been heavily scrutinized for safety and have been shown to be extremely safe, said Joseph Wu, MD, PhD, the director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute.

          Vaccine-associated myocarditis occurs in about one in every 140,000 vaccinees after a first dose and rises to one in 32,000 after a second dose. For reasons that aren’t clear, incidence peaks among male vaccinees age 30 or below, at one in 16,750 vaccinees.

          Direct quote from your source. All it says is that in some people it can cause a little heart tissue damage.

          Point 2:

          If you wish to abolish the prison system then I am OK with that. If you ain’t wishing to do that I’m not even sure what your position is and I doubt it would be coherent in any way.

          Point 3:

          Blud … you brought up “red and blue”

            1 in 32000 is very close to the ratio of deaths from COVID itself. And they recommended 3 shots minimum with continuous maintenance doses!!

            Myocarditis from the mrna vaccine has killed several people which is the point I was making.

            I got three shots myself and they didn’t work (according to the same doctors who administered them). Imagine my resentment in not being able to grocery shop without my vaccine card which only increased my heart disease risk without any of the benefit. I had to go back and get antibodies directly injected at a later date. Then still got a fever of 104 for 36 hours. It’s sort of hard to believe all the bullshit from my perspective. I still think masks are the way to go.

              1 in 32000 is very close to the ratio of deaths from COVID itself.

              Covid had a much higher lethality than 1 in 320000 and the 1 in 320000 having myocarditis does not mean the condition killed them, though some of them were killed (a fraction of that already small number).

              they didn’t work (according to the same doctors who administered them).

              You keep citing these completely anecdotal testimonies, but the subject has been extensively studied and yes they did work, especially lowering the lethality rate. If you were vaxxed when you had that high fever, there is a much higher chance you would have been killed by it were you not vaxxed (though I can’t claim to know the outcome, of course).
