    Did they test you? I would not take a test unless required as there is no need now. It is the cold/flu but a few still try to put fear in people. That said...this problem was very likely created by man/woman (purposefully is a good question). And with that will be around creating more issues than necessary. Really hope those responsible are held accountable. But unlikely.

    I didn’t really mind the masks. It had no effect on me whatsoever if people wore them or not. Like a person wearing shades indoors or a hat indoors.

    The vaccine was a whole ‘nother thing

    Wear a mask if you want. But the lie to virtue signal was real. The idiots in Public Health knew they did not work against a respiratory virus. It was a virtue signal. Not only did it hurt children in their development process. Especially those with speech issues. It gave people a false sense of security so they would engage in activities sick thinking they were protecting people when they were not.

    The mask is a definition of ignoring science and medicine. Truly Stupid!

    Doctors get some blame here as they knew and should have stood up sooner to the idiots in Public Health. Granted most are employees now which is a problem with the system.

    Conspiracy theorists are people who are tired of being right all the time.

    How Jesus could have done better …


    Never once in all four gospels did Jesus wear a mask when healing the sick - As an omniscient being, he clearly would have known about the proven effectiveness of masking, even if the rest of the world didn't. Why did he not reveal this truth to his followers? Why didn't he create N95 masks for the lepers when he had the chance to do so? Again and again, in scripture, we see Jesus showing carelessness for social distancing norms and infection mitigation efforts, which as we know, are the purest ways to love one's neighbor.

    The reason I never got Covid is because I never took a test that told me I had it.

    a lot of doctors offices don’t even test after you are diagnosed. They have told me you could test positive for weeks or even a month. It doesn’t mean you are still contagious during that entire period. The guidance is all over the board.

    The PCR test literally detects fragments of a mental construct. Diet Pepsi and papayas have tested positive.

    The kicker is that when people experience normal eliminative processes - and test positive - they think they may be harboring a deadly disease.

    It’s all darkly silly.

    You haven't been spreading anything.

    Antigen tests and PCR tests do not test for infectious virus. They simply test for fragments of the representative protein or fragments of the RNA strands from the virus. These can be floating in the human system for weeks, even months. Unless you specifically had you blood and saliva cultured for infectious virus, you never know for sure, but it is highly, highly likely you stopped being infectious 4-6 days after symptoms appeared.

    Growing Concern Vaccine Heart Damage in Adolescents May be Permanent (theepochtimes.com)

    Almost every day the news brings another story of a young person dying of cardiac arrest. It is a sickening realization that COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis could leave a zone of scar in the heart, risking the chance of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and cardiac arrest at any time. Recently Hulscher, et al. have conclusively shown by autopsy that COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis can be fatal.

    Now a Hong Kong study by Yu and colleagues have found that of young persons who had heart damage confirmed by MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] and who underwent a second scan one year later, 58 percent had residual abnormalities suggesting a scar could be forming in the heart muscle.

    Forty adolescents, mean age of 15, mostly boys, were evaluated. It was notable that 73 percent had no cardiac symptoms, so without an evaluation, the parents would have had no idea their child was suffering heart damage from the COVID-19 vaccine. Approximately 18 percent of cases initially had reduced left ventricular ejection fraction indicating they were at risk for the development of heart failure.

    The authors point out that several other studies have found a majority of COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis cases with abnormal cardiac MRI findings have not resolved at 3–6 months. Now the report by Yu and colleagues suggest the damage may be permanent at a year.

    Of course the garbage site does not mention:
    "Cases of heart inflammation after vaccination tend to resolve quickly and are very rare. In the highest-risk group, teen boys, myocarditis occurred in 26.7 out of 100,000 cases after the second vaccine dose, while the condition occurred in 59 out of 100,000 cases after coming down with Covid, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Myocarditis after vaccination also tended to be milder compared to myocarditis from other causes."
    What explains rare heart condition among young men after Covid vaccines? A new study offers clues

    Garbage in= garbage out. Be better.

    BA.2.86 subvariant potentially better at causing breakthrough infections: CDC | The Hill

    The recently detected BA.2.86 COVID-19 subvariant may be more capable of causing infections in people who previously contracted the virus or have been vaccinated, according to a risk assessment from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), though it remains unclear if this strain causes more severe illness than others.

    First detected last month, a handful of infections caused by BA.2.86 have been reported in the U.S., Denmark, South Africa, the U.K. and Israel. The CDC noted that genomic sequencing of COVID-19 has dropped “substantially” when compared to the past few years, so the spread and occurrence of new strains may go undetected for longer.

    “The large number of mutations in this variant raises concerns of greater escape from existing immunity from vaccines and previous infections compared with other recent variants,” the CDC said in its assessment. “For example, one analysis of mutations suggests the difference may be as large as or greater than that between BA.2 and XBB.1.5, which circulated nearly a year apart.”

    The agency added, however, that it’s still too soon to know what real-world impact the recently detected strain will have on immunity.

    Funny how this covid came around just in time for the election cycle... same as 4 years ago.

    What a strange coincidence. :rolleyes:

    The question is, how many sheeple will the"vaccine" kill this season?
