More unnecessary panic being spread. Too bad for them the end is near. There is something called decon!
“The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”
― Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset
The genocidal Democrats really, really want you to get THIS vaccine.
You can trust them now, for sure.
But how will we watch them kneel?
Does anyone really believe the seasonal flu vaccine “saves” us when (a) more than half the population does not get the vaccine, (b) many who get the vaccine still get a case of the seasonal flu, and (c) 60,000 have died this flu season in the U.S., which is more than the deaths from Covid-19.
On a personal note I have never once had the flu vaccine and never once a severe flu illness.
If sports should be dead just because there is no Covid-19 vaccine, then the world should have been shutting down every year from November through April, to minimize the millions of deaths from the flu.
I say to everyone, protect your own health, live healthy, be healthy and don’t think you’re going to “save” everyone else by being a tyrant over all the healthy, instead of quarantining the sick, the elderly, the infirm and the vulnerable. 80% of the population will eventually get mild illnesses, herd immunity, and unable to pass the disease to the rest.
Yeah, well how long have people been waiting for an HIV vaccine?
People are slowly getting fed up with this, and we can already see this by the growing number of protests throughout America!
I don’t see an inflationary rate increase after this thing is over.
What I DO see, is every stinking company elevating prices to make up for their short-sighted financial planning models. In this day, I have not seen one company retain a portion, a category on their spreadsheets, for catastrophic rebuilding. In 1968, when I took accounting classes in high school, there were such things in our books.
I also see utility and communication companies implementing, and or raising, what they term a recoupment of funds spent in line repairs added to our monthly bills.
So, are things going to cost more? Yes. Is that inflation? No. It’s businesses stiffing you for all that time they lost when we all were shut down. There are no shortages, there are no hurricane/tornado/nationwide catastrophic atmospheric destruction zones.
Just a bunch of grasshoppers begging more from the ants!
We don’t have an HIV vaccine, or even a vaccine for the common cold. Yet they have had decades to develop one.
This is about TOTAL control. Nothing more.
It depends on your interpretation of money. While the number of touring pros on the major tours around the world (U.S., Europe, Asia) total less than 3,000, those who are good enough to compete can make millions of dollars—and not just from prize money.
In tournament winnings, just finishing a tournament will likely result in a payday of at least $25,000, while winning a PGA tournament can result in a payday of $1.5 million. And everyone gets “show money.” To get Woods in your tournament it’ll cost you $1 million up front. The lowest offer to the top 150 is $100 thousand. And if the sponsors don’t have the money up front, they can invite the big names to skins game on Monday and the TV people will cover the fees with winnings.
Another way is a wealthy donation to the big name golfer’s charity and an exemption for the player with perks on rooms, transportation, food, and additional fees by a corporate sponsor in their name. (Good will makes money) And that doesn’t qualify as an appearance fee and protects the golfers taxes also.
So, the golfer hasn’t stuck a tee in the ground for the tournament and he’s already earned, at least, half a million in perks and cash and/or donations. And that doesn’t get their shoe line, remember the women, or clubs, balls, clothing, their watch, their car, or their hat they are paid to wear, or hit, or drive. Even Phil Mickleson’s hat makes money for charity.
And everything they represent can be bought on line. It just never stops.

The ultra vain sport that uses much more pesticides and herbicides, as well as fertilizers, per acre than the average farmer. Wash your hands after handling the ball and your golf shoes. You handle the club by the bottom when removing and returning them to the bag? Wash up.
Years back, I delivered product to over a 120 golf courses, usually early before sun up. The workers were already out spraying. It was obvious from the smell. They needed to be done doing that before the courses would open for the day.
This isn’t about a virus, it is about political control, so discussions about vaccines are pointless.
Golf...... of course not
He's wrong here, perhaps depending on his meaning of "top golfers". I saw an article a few years back in one of the golf magazines comparing the earnings of "top golfers" to the earnings of "top players" in all other sports. The golfers made more than the others. WAY more. In that year the highest paid non-golf athlete was paid around $15 million dollars. Tiger Woods made $110 million dollars that year, and so on down the line of perhaps 15 golfers and 15 other athletes.
Also, minor league baseball players are professional athletes as well, but they make practically nothing. They play with the hope of making the major leagues.
This ignores that over time more and more people know they’re immune. Large numbers already are. We really need antibody tests in huge numbers. If 1/3 has already had it then 1/3 should be able to start filling stadiums. It’s not going to take long before the predicted numbers just aren’t possible and people can risk what they want. Either stay home or don’t but there’ll be ZERO justification for the State to *require* it as the immune numbers rise.
This is why a phased approach is the right thing. We’re still lacking data so there needs to be caution - but I think we need a higher priority now on antibody tests. It’s the last major data point that should have a massive impact on decisions but we don’t know what it is, 20%, 50%, 80%?
I think I had it in January, first time I really considered the hospital due to a cough - it was really bad....but I just don’t know, like many others.
I think they’ll be starting up sports again, in front of live audiences, in 5 years or so - or after a vaccine is deployed if that happens sooner.
NEVER allow yourself to be vaccinated by the Government!
Yes, only a VACCINE will save us!
Starting to see a common thread running here...
