    Lapado is full of shit in that he believes in viruses.

    But he’s less bad than most in that he doesn’t believe everyone should be vaccinated for a non-existent entity.

    LOL!

    You are causing your kids unnecessary inflammation with a shot designed to address a variant that is no longer in circulation.

    Stop drinking the kool aid.

    Be smart. Your mother is at risk from any virus or disease. If one of you is sick. Avoid seeing her. The way it always has been. Flu/Cold/Covid/RSV/etc…

    That said. You do you. Just please don’t jab your kids unnecessarily!

    And her primary care doctor is an idiot! They have no understanding of the situation. One. They have you so scared that you are jabbing your kids unnecessarily. Two the shot is not going to keep you or your kids from getting Covid. So now you are going to see your mom with an ignorant comfort that you are doing something. Just be smart. If you hear that friends/coworkers/etc you were around were sick. Consider staying home. Otherwise. Life Life! You mother deserves to be with you and your kids. Without the fear these idiots in public health have instilled!

    Please excuse me, but I'll take zero medical advice from morons such as yourself. And not surprisingly, dominant variants have more and more in common. There are only so many beneficial mutations a virus can have before it's the dominant version. It's why, while there have been thousands upon thousands of flu variants, the ones that have stuck around are based on 4 basic viruses.

    And just like a flu vaccine may offer protection from a related variant, the most recent COVID vaccine is offering protection from variants it wasn't even designed for.

    Meanwhile, about 1,000 Americans a day are dying from COVID, and 15k are admitted to the hospital. And the dominant variant? One the vaccine can help.

    My mother likely doesn't have too long left on this Earth. And visiting is certainly a risk. But I'm not going to stop my kids from seeing their Grandmother possibly one last holiday season, and I'm certainly not going to prevent my Mom from seeing her grandkids. But I will take all precautions available to maintain my mother's health.

    And it's not just the CDC and my mother's doctor reccomending all visitors be fully vaccinated. Here's guidelines from the Austalian Dept of Health. Again, more people with more expertise than you that I'll follow long before taking any advise from you.

    The CDC is a national embarrassment.

    Still 1000 a day are dying. Many might have been saved had they been vaccinated. But instead, they hear idiots like you and end up in the hospital, or worse, the morgue.

    Remember the crisis actors and the monstrous lies of ‘Covid deniers’ begging for vaccines on their deathbeds ?

    Stop! Seriously!

    Go get a second opinion from a grounded doctor that is likely vaccinated (with the first two shots and maybe the first booster)!

    Nikola could just as well have been addressing so-called viral genomes …

    I’ll chime in …

    In 2020 we awakened to a world in which we weren’t permitted to open our businesses, send our kids to school, go to church, comfort our dying or bury our dead.

    That’s just scratching the surface.

    What does that have to do with excess deaths caused by lifestyle?

    oh, ok. This is back to ‘Covid didn’t really happen?’

    The ignoring of science and medicine to push a new drug into an entire population. At the same time keeping kids out of in person schooling. All while knowing the harm being caused. It was pure evil what some of these idiots in public health did. Some were ignorant. But some were evil!

    Like when Ladapo deleted all the studies showing his preferred conclusion was wrong, and went ahead with his preferred conclusion? That kind of ignoring science and medicine?

    Ladapo has been one of the few public health officials to actually look at all the evidence and provide proper medical guidance through all of this. It is hard though when the bully pulpit is controlled by fools like fauci telling people what they know is wrong.
