    No it’s what I have learned arguing with idiots for 58 years. I am slow. I figured it out 2 or 3 years ago.

    Is that what it is? I just assumed that, because these people were dead, it was unlikely they would respond.

    Duh, that's pretty obvious, no thanks to the vaccine or all the false boosters

    A google search of this photo turns up it being tweeted on X with the orignal being on Unherd.com - another obviously right wing site. SMH

    I've no idea what that means unless you're trying to highlight what a royal dick that great that tennis player is.

    I was being facetious, duh. So you were in the hospital and didn't die. Do you think that maybe because people got the vaccine, it may have weakened the virus so when you got it, it wasn't as severe? Maybe it would have been had so many people thought like you and not gotten vaccinated.
    Don't get the booster, if you spend another stint in the hospital, so be it. I had COVID a few weeks ago and it was no worse than the flu for me. My husband picked it up at the grocery store we believe.

    That nonsense about everyone calling in sick after a Covid shot is a figment of distressed imagination.

    From your linked article.:

    "The CDC suggests ramping up testing and wearing a mask if you are high risk, but Florida legislation makes it illegal to require anyone to wear a mask unless they work in the healthcare industry."

    I guess the state of Florida is telling us who is and is not expendable.

    If you're frightened, wear a mask. If you're not, don't. The problem is the frightened people want the unfrightened people to wear masks to make them feel safe. What was the talking point at the height of Covid? Was it something like "wear your mask for the greater good." That BS will never fly again.

    The state of FL is letting people choose, which is the only answer. Very very few people care what the CDC suggests.

    That's what happens when husbands stray from the grocery list.

    I've had 3 of the 4 and no signs of turning into a vampire yet. Also had an angina episode (and 2 stints) during that time too, with no negative side effects. So, outside of my bad life choices, that seems to be working fine too.

    Probably did. I work two nights a week in a busy beach restaurant and most of our customers during that period were from lockdown states. I never got anything. Not even a cold or flu, which is weird because I usually get 1-2 of those a year.

    No one was frightened as much as they were "Let's ALL take care of this and get back to normal!". That's the first thing, the second thing is there are currently ZERO mandates to get a vaccine. I don't have to get the booster if I don't want to. Again, Fl is looking for a solution to a non existent problem.

    Though I am sure you really do understand.

    Novak stood for medicine and science. He chose not to take a shot in the arm. And his heart therefore will not be inflamed unnecessarily.

    If you want to know how to beat Covid. Novak is the definition. Extreme good health.
