    Oh, and the Dems got their talking points LOL. This is awesome. To quote Costanza, "It's not a lie if you believe it"

    After two years and 1700+ pages I think everyone is entrenched in their perceptions. Being potentially on the precipice of WWIII could make Covid concerns back seat real quick anyways. At this point everyone has made their decisions on whether to get vaccinated or not and whether to wear a mask or not. Just got to live it out and see what happens.

    Just my two cents.

    If only one side would just live with it. Instead of trying to force, through govt decree, the other side to do as they say. If you feel you need it, mask up and booster up. Let others decide for themselves.

    The reason is the vaccine dosage for kids under 5 hasn't been deemed safe yet. Which is unfortunate. Because Omicron caused a significant increase in hospitalizations for kids under 5 years old. Meanwhile, the hospitalization rate for kids 5-17 remained the same. Likely because there are a percentage of kids in this age range who are vaccinated. And as this article states, the majority of kids in pediatric hospitals with COVID are either under 5 and ineligible for the vaccine, or unvaccinated.

    Do you really think Omicron, which caused the largest spike in pediatric COVID hospitalizations also caused a sharp spike in kid's broken arms as well? And that's the cause for the spike in hospitalizations, and not COVID?

    Again, the risk is low for children. The vaccine lowers the risk even more.

    Liars gonna lie. I now remember why I stopped replying to your ignorant posts. You literally lie and won't admit you were wrong. I won't make that mistake again. Everyone but a few nut jobs knows the vaccine didn't help healthy kids and that masks were useless. Have fun spreading fear. At least no one believes anything you say.

    Simplistic strawman argument.

    In your view, any public health guidance or laws should be abolished.

    Don't want to get shot by stray bullet in the city? Don't shoot guns in your apartment. Let others decide for themselves.

    Don't want to die from a drunk driver, don't drink and drive. Let others decide for themselves.

    What government decree has been applied to you by force in the last year?

    I'm really sorry you had to work out for a short period with a mask. Oh the humanity.

    I never had to wear a mask my gym let each person decide for themselves.
    I picture you sitting in a sealed room triple masked with 3 boosters ready to go.

    .3% of the American population. Thinning of the herd.

    Not at all.

    My motivation is to call out the absurdity of coercing people to take a new drug for a disease that they may not want to take the drug for. A drug that has not done what it was sold to do for a disease that is not that dangerous to most. To call out the propaganda that has scared people into irrational beliefs and thoughts.

    With that I fully support anyones decision to take these drugs and booster up.

    This is the type of thing that the propaganda has done. I just posted the numbers from England. Israel was reporting similar numbers back in the late summer with the delta surge and now they don’t provide easy access to the data.

    The vaccine is not what it was sold as…
