    So you are OK with "only" 5% of people over 70 dying from the disease?

    Where in Brevard? I live here and haven’t heard of such an outbreak.

    I will say that most of the folks that work in facilities like this are UNvaccinated and that’s where outbreaks come from. My mother in law has had Covid twice, was vaccinated in between. Contact tracing shows it came from an UNvaccinated worker. MIL is/was asymptomatic but suffers from congestive heart failure so her time is short.

    Only if they are commies... Lol, j/k I am not okay with anyone dying needlessly, but those numbers SHOULD serve to make people aware of the dangers of poor health and going out without proper care for your own health.

    IT should NOT used as an excuse to stealing our Constitutional rights... and our freedoms.

    The constitutional right to infect others with a potentially fatal viral illness?

    Not true

    Fact check: The Wuhan Institute of Virology is not owned by GlaxoSmithKline
    Social media users have made an unfounded connection between pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline, and a Chinese laboratory that has been the subject of COVID-19 conspiracy theories.

    Vaccine mandates are common in schools and militarily and have been for many years.

    Employers are free to put whatever mandates they want provided it doesn't discriminate agsinst a protected class.

    You didn’t address the bs in your prior post, so jump to new bs?

    Again. Think. Verify. Don’t regurgitate crap you read from bad sources without asking yourself if it makes sense or can be verified. The “Pfizer Investment board” was obviously a fakery.

    Edit: per Oklahoma, your new claim isn’t any better.
