    Has there ever been a hero, in history, of somebody raging against a widely used and at least to some degree effective vaccine? Asking for a friend.

    A hero? A raging hero? I do know there are millions sharing their stories about the vaccine and new data everyday is backing them up. I doubt they are raging unless they were injured or lost a loved one, which is not a small number. Please tell your friend "widely used" has very little significance. Think of all the widely used things in our past that didn't work out so well. Especially in the pharma category. The fact that your friend shares the vaccine is effective to "some degree" raises lots of questions. That sounds like a small amount to me. The doubt is becoming a reality for many of the ones who got the "widely used" vaccine. They used to say " it will save your life and save others." Now it's effective to some degree. There is real buyers remorse out there.

    Certainly you don't need a link to remind you of where that crap originated. Though I agree it sounded unstable when put out there by the right and it still does. Remember "going away in the summer" and will be gone in a few months, and Ivermectin.... the right outdid crazy on this.

    Many people here are just venting at you/me/us because they were tricked into taking the vaccine/s... some were forced through threat of losing jobs and livelihood. Some had to take it just to travel... these corporations/companies are criminal thugs and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    So far. Case numbers have been pretty steady for the last couple months, just over 10,000 new cases per day. Aside from the last few weeks, where we know the reporting is misleading, we are averaging about 55 deaths per day. I'm expecting over the next two weeks we will see this number continue to climb into the mid-50s from the originally reported 9 deaths. And we will continue to have people look at the current report and think that deaths are declining.

    funny, looking at the numbers on worldometer from illinois they have reported no new number of tests in over a week, yet daily report new cases and deaths,how is giving a false look at actuality there, making it look worse on a daily basis any different than what you say Florida is doing?

    Again, what I am seeing reported is that there aren't any Covid patients in ICU's in any numbers whatsoever. So how are so many people dying of covid? Sounds like people are dying "with covid", which is a lot different than dying of covid.

    This thing (Covid) reminds me of Cougar from Top Gun. So many have been screwed up by the Mig (propaganda) like Cougar…

    Dr. Ben Carson to Newsmax: COVID 'Best Mechanism' for Govt Control

    Dr. Ben Carson told Newsmax on Monday that the COVID-19 pandemic has been the "best mechanism government has had for controlling the people ever" and that it's contrary to the founding principles of America.

    Politico reported Saturday that the Biden administration is expected to extend the COVID-19 public health emergency again, potentially continuing the emergency declaration past the November midterm elections and into next year.


    "So they're going to continue trying to extend it just as far as people will tolerate, quite frankly, and they're not looking at science at all," Carson said. "Science tells us that viruses tend to attenuate so each iteration of it becomes a little weaker, but it also is more transmittable."


    Carson added that viral weakening is the reason the U.S. is currently experiencing an uptick in COVID-19 cases but a low number of deaths.

    Lol... "RIP" is a Democrat operative BOT...

    What do the people who like to tout the pediatric covid "deaths" think when we have "covid deaths" like this one counted on the records? Now suicide with covid counts as a covid death I guess...

    Denmark has stopped giving the vaccine to kids under 18, yet the US is vaxxing 6 month olds. What a joke. No data to back it up. glad only 3% of parents are listening to the garbage coming out of the cdc.

    370 days dam

    A North Texas mom of three is finally going home after spending more than a year in the hospital because of COVID-19.

    Jazmin Kirkland was hospitalized on Aug. 3, 2021. A few days later she was placed on a ventilator and a month after that needed ECMO treatments because the virus had attacked her heart and lungs.




    She never dreamed her diagnosis would result in 370 days away from her 2, 7 and 10-year-old children.

    Weird, I see you don't care to differentiate between someone dying in a car crash "with covid" and someone actually dying of covid. Wish I could say I am shocked, but not with this poster. Keep scaring everyone! It's working. Almost to 3% of young babies now vaxxed! With you spreading fear maybe you can get it up to 3.1%.
