    Which defines why the policy on the Covid shot was the antithesis of basic science and medicine. Each situation is different. And we knew healthy people were at almost no risk.

    People want to forget that because the government sold the shot as preventing you from getting Covid (if I need to post Biden saying it I will). And that led to millions of people taking the shot and then going out Covid positive thinking they had the sniffles. As we know the shot was an abject failure at preventing spread. In fact it probably increased it because people were told they would not get it. No evidence of that. But knowing how it played out and the numbers out of Israel. It was fairly well observed.

    Eh. Why force people to take a shot that does not slow or prevent spread? Every single shot was designed for a variant that was no longer present or virtually gone by the time it was being given.

    That said. I do think you have a point about dictating what a private company does. Reality is DeSantis probably helped them though lol…

    It is crazy some do not understand this. I was certainly more against the vax as time went on. Always against mandates. And never for it in Populations at little to no risk but if people wanted to take it…I was for allowing them to if they wanted at the time. However I believe public health failed young people by authorizing it for that population now that we have seen how it played out.

    He DID support it
    He DID push for it.
    Both are true.

    Later changes dont negate that point.

    Brock Berlin did support the Gators.

    Its really not hard.
    No one is buying your constant attempts to label me as someone that defends Trump or supports his antics because I voted for some county commissioner.

    You look petty.

    The covid thread is still alive and well. I was clear that private businesses should be allowed to make their own choices and that RD was wrong. I stated that multiple times.

    Private businesses should have set the rules, not governments. (Irt livelihood)

    Pat downs arent as invasive as being forced to Inject a vaccine Into your body.

    I choose to fly and I chose to get vaccinated.
    Others choose different.

    I've never had the fake covid jab or flu jab nor my wife and 3 kids, we all got it at least one time very minor reaction headache for several hours and lost my sense smell and that was it. My 2 boys each had a fever for about a day with a lingering cough for about 10 days, wife headache, a cough and lost her taste. My daughter had no symptoms
    I contribute it to having natural immunity and none of us hardly ever get sick.

    I remember I had some customers in Gainesville that got extremely pissed at me for not requiring my employees to be vaccinated, then they requested only a vaccinated employee help them. I told them that was a personal choice, and I didn't have the right to require it or even ask if then have been. They said they would quit doing business with us, I said I was sorry to see them go. They never quit using us.

    I'm with you, but Covid has been very hard on my dad who has COPD, so i got the "jab" to help protect him. Keeping it away from him is important to me.

    My parents both got the first jab and wouldn't allow me or the kids to visit since we didn't get the jab for about a year. I really don't care who took it as nobody tried to force it on me

    It is frustrating the propaganda scared your parents like that. They were part of the majority that unfortunately fell for the propaganda.

    People still try to ignore the damage done by not allowing loved ones to see loved ones as they were dying. Pure evil!

    The reason for vaccine mandates isn't just to protect the individuals receiving the vax it's establish herd immunity for the purpose protecting individuals who are immunocomprimised or cannot take the vax themselves from contracting an infectious disease.

    Paxlovid does have some interactions with other medications. However I’ve read / heard that some primary care physicians are too cautious prescribing / recommending it because of the interactions.

    in December my 92 year old dad got it and took a fall and was hospitalized. It hit him pretty hard. He is now in rehab recovery and may never come back home. He was sick but we didn’t know he had Covid until after he got to the hospital after his fall. He had been vaccinated and boosted in the past but it’s been more than a year since he’s had a booster. A couple of years ago they both had Covid and between shots and paxlovid they shook it off pretty well.

    if my dad had the fall booster maybe he wouldn’t have been as sick and fallen. Who knows. I offered to take him earlier in the fall but he has to do everything his way.
    in addition to my dad, my mom was sick and probably had it, but she was recently boosted and shook it off pretty quickly. I also got sick the day my dad fell, and visiting at their house, pretty sure it was Covid but I was up and running within a day. My son who was with us who was boosted didn’t get sick at all.

    All of this anecdotal of course but it seems like if you are vaxxed and boosted you often don’t get as sick.

    This nonsense is the same crap that forced healthy people to a shot to keep their jobs and harmed them.

    Stop this BS argument to defend the idiocy of the Covid shot.
