They are simply stating their opinions of the efficacy of the vaccine...

Yes, actually, I have a son-in-law who really thinks like that. He doesn’t try (any more ) to change my opinion and I don’t try to change his.

It's still used in humans daily...

It appears the initial use of Ivermectin was for livestock in 1981. It seems to have been approved for HUMAN use in 1987.

It's pretty clear that it was created in a lab in Wuhan. Not big pharma, but more of a bioweapon. Hopefully they realize they can't contain such a weapon.

Most people younger than 40 did NOT wear masks and that was OK also because Covid was only minimally affecting that younger group. High school is full of lots of peer pressure and wildly fluctuating endorphins. Those factors would seem to overpower a trivial thing like wearing a mask especially when they were required for a period in schools. The main objective of a school is to provide a safe place to learn. AT that time masks were needed for safety.

Masks never did anything to lower transmission. He never was able to go to school in person senior year. He was isolated and had to cover his face whenever he was out. That messes with a young adults head. My kid, being in high school, got over it. But many young kids were totally screwed. They had daycare kids wearing masks. The people that implemented and enforced that need to be put in jail for abuse as far as I'm concerned.

Andy is 100% correct. It has been completely shown that the vaccine do not lower infection nor transmission. The argument that it lessens severity is open to debate as well. But even my super woke pro-vax, fire you if you don't have the vax company, has seen the light and lifted the vaccine mandate. Unfortunately the folks that lost their careers won't be hired back.

Apart from that, a short story of my brother in-law during Covid. He was super sick with some sort of lung infection. Tested negative for Covid 5 times. They still put his diagnosis as Covid because nothing else was found. He was close to death, maybe 2 weeks, when a doctor that happened to be from Georgia saw him and found made a connection. He had a lung parasite found in warmer climates, including Georgia. He had been in that state to visit a dead relative's grave. He planted flowers at the grave and picked up the bug. A simple anti-parasite treatment and he got better. It was seriously like an episode of House. But if he died, it would have been called a Covid death.

Imagine all those adults whose parents home schooled them, back in the 1960's and 1970's. They didn't get to attend any actual school at all. But somehow - they managed to become socialized by the time they were ready for adulthood.

Respectfully, they were still able to socialize outside of school. During Covid no one was outside. Apart from that, and I don't mean to sound derogatory, we always found the home schooled kids to be a bit, well, socially awkward.

My wife and I got Covid on the plane trip back from Europe. Hit us hard once we got back home. We are fortunate we didn't get it when we were on our trip over there. Much easier to deal with it back in our own home! Take care.

Yawn...here we go again with Fear Factor 2! No reasonably healthy person has anything to fear from COVID. There is no cure so why get tested? If you feel sick, then stay home & have some chicken soup until you feel better. I would never get the it-might-work-sometimes vaccine, never worn a mask unless a store forced me to, and have been just fine. Thank goodness we still have DeSantis in office! At least he is one Governor with some common sense in how we approach COVID (as in NO mandates)!

Until you had 6 of your friends and your father die from this horrible thing, you will NEVER be able to understand. Until you have to go thought the experience of not being able to be with one of your family before they die because they have COVID, you will NEVER understand. Until you can not bury your loved one for some time after they die, because they had COVID, you will NEVER understand.

That being said I hope that you will NEVER have to go through that experience but I guarantee that if you DO go through that, you WILL become a believer that it is real and stop.

And if you do get COVID [one of the bad cases] I'm sure you will be thankful for those people who work in hospitals, who are there to help you, even though you did NOTHING to help yourself because ,”it's just some conspiracy thing”. How would you feel if they simple said, as some of you have commented in previous post Let's hope the person who is helping you doesn't have the same philosophy as you and laugh and say it's just a “Political thing”

For those of you who laugh and make fun of wearing a mask, how about thinking of someone else besides yourself. Yes the right type of mask is to protect you but it is also to protect others from getting COVID from you. You may just be one of the lucky ones who didn't get it, but you may be a carrier so try to think of someone besides yourself for a change!

It’s a Cold , 4 years ago did everyone run around telling people they had a cold? The masks don’t do diddly but if it makes u “feel”better have at it.

It's a cold???? When was the last time millions died of (or even with) a "cold". COVID is a serious virus, especially among vulnerable individuals. No, it's not Ebola or Lassa fever, but it is not to be taken lightly either. As far as masks go, you're right in that they do very little to protect the individual wearing them. But when groups of people are gathered together, they do reduce the transmission of the virus from those infected to those that aren't. It's probably better to have groups of people in close proximity wear a mask than to close down economies again.

isn't it amazing .. but there are plenty of adverse reactions to the spike proteins in the vac/bodies.

Scientific studies have shown that vaccinated people were significantly less likely to transmit the virus.

There is something you can do about it, go to the FLCCC Frontline Doctors site, they had a 99.9% survival rate treating COV!D, and have protocols treating the spike protein and detoxing from COV!D and the jab. Are you sure it was COV!D and not the jab that caused your Diabetes?
