    Did anybody ever say vaccines are safe for the entire population? I think not. Vaccine reactions and allergies are real.

    So are deaths. And in the case of this one ... lots of them.

    Virtually every medication approved by the FDA can cause some adverse reactions in some persons using the medication. When deciding whether or not to approve medications including vaccines the FDA determines whether the benefits exceed risks. Ever watch television commercials for prescription meds? Adverse side effects are almost universal. Also ever bother reading the inserts when you receive a prescription medication or even most over counter meds? Numerous but fortunately rare side effects sometimes even life threatening are listed.

    Documented deaths actually attributable to the vaccines are extremely rare.

    Dark correlations between vaccine rollouts and excess mortality all over the world.

    I don't know where you shop and while the employees of my local grocery stores still wear masks the plexiglass screens are long gone and maybe only around 30% of the customers still wear masks. I might also add that in Asian countries China coming immediately to mind wearing masks was routine long before the Covid pandemic more so for protection against air pollution than to prevent and protect against the transmission of disease and the people in those countries probably exhibit less mental illness than Americans.

    Back before masks became a fetish n Asia (some would say a pathology) there were basically three groups who wore masks: (1) slaves when off plantation (2) people under the influence of shaman (3) bank robbers

    And how much is directly attributable to the vaccine? In fact "excess mortality" actually was noted after the pandemic began but before the rollout and widespread administration of vaccines.

    My strong contention is that all the excess mortality since March 2020 can be attributed to the *effects* of panic, despair and vaccines.

    Given the air pollution problem in China which has actually been abating in recent years, I wouldn't call wearing masks a fetish although not all of the masks actually filter out pollutants.

    You do raise a fair point. Toxins can kill you. But back to masks ... Mask appeal: The addiction of surgical masks in Japan

    These shots are not stopping the spread. People are not in fear of vaccines. People are also not in fear of Covid anymore. No need to be.

    Yeah, I’m not actually deathly afraid they would kill me. But why risk it, for a phantom pathogen, just to avoid opprobrium ?
