    The likes of Fauci and Bourla May thank you. But no, we are not moving on. We’re not close to moving on.

    Ask any question. I'll do my best to find a peer reviewed journal article that answers it. If you think these peer reviewed journal articles are propaganda, I can't help you. But peer reviewed, scientific journal articles are the standard for science information, and has been for generations.

    As for excess deaths, COVID is the cause.

    Two problems with Covid as cause ...

    (1) there is no Covid

    (2) the *effects* of panic and despair can readily account, for excess deaths, apart from any reference to a pathogen.

    Keep taking your shot. Keep getting Covid. You do you.

    I will continue to minimize the inflammation in my body.

    Wash, rinse, repeat. I'll keep following the evidence, presented by peer reviewed, scientific journal articles. You keep doing you, which is blind faith to your beliefs, despite any evidence to back up your claims. I'm fine with that. No need to get snarky with your keep taking your shot crap.

    It’s called Covid-19 for a reason, right ? Yet no excess death in NYC until lockdowns were issued.

    It has been mass-manslaughter from beginning to end, vaccines being the latest weapons ...

    It's called COVID-19 because the virus was isolated first in 2019. But it wasn't until 2020 that the virus started to become a global pandemic. It takes time for a virus that appears in China to go global. And if you track excess deaths by country, you'd see China spike first, followed by Italy, and then other countries as the virus spread over borders.

    I mean no offense, but this should have been evident about 30,000 posts ago. ;)

    No one was dying, in NYC, until doctors started killing them ...

    An Estimated 30,000 Americans Were Killed by Ventilators & Iatrogenesis in April 2020

    I don't know. One should never underestimate the vast virological knowledge of a dentist's receptionist.

    If instead of empowering the likes of Fauci and Birx, Trump had instead placed a dental receptionist in charge ... FAR fewer would have died.

    Not getting snarky at all. Just speaking truth. You can take your shots and cause inflammation if you wish to your body. They will not help you from getting Covid. I will continue to minimize the inflammation I cause to my body.

    Remember the first time you ever saw The Office and you couldnt quite figure out Dwight, why it was filmed like it is and if it was even funny? Then after a while you got it and loved the show and thought Dwight's character was brilliant?

    Thats this thread now... Without the second part.

    Its like the first episode is on repeat and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm watching.

    I understand the skepticism, I am ever distrutusful of government, very very leery of mandates...but, fwiw, my first truth filter is my own experience--which while admittedly anecdotal, is a solid starting point.

    e.g.--if I'm told the sky is purple, I do not subscribe to the purple sky theory; first, i'd stick my head out the window, and look up/out for purple (while not immediately dismissing the purple sky theory either).

    Well, I know 7 ppl whose deaths were attributed to Covid. All but one were octagenarian or older. None of those who passed away, ever got the vaccine (I want to say at least 4 passed away b4 vax was even available).

    I have family members and know friends who were vaxed, vulnerable (i.e.--had problematic comorbidities), who are still fine, even after having gotten Covid, and even having been leveled by it.

    So at this point, the conventional wisdom about Covid seems to align with my anencdodatal personal experience, and therefore do not feel inclined to doubt.

    BTW, I enjoyed a pleasant dinner last week with my octogenarian parents and my 50 year old brother with down syndrome (whom I arranged for and dragged to get vaxxed), which I plan to repeat tomorrow evening again.

    Oh, and I took my bro to Tim Tebow's "night to shine" event last Friday.

    I thank God every day I still have them, and every moment I get to share with them.

    ...and I'm inclined to think that the vax may have had something to do with many of the more recent such moments.

    fwiw

    You have me confused with the anecdote guy. I’m the big picture guy. Staggering excess deaths.

    No one knows anyone who died of Covid.

    No one knows anyone who died because they didn’t get the vaccine.

    No one knows anyone who would have died, but lived because they got the vaccine.
