It's perfect\ly fine to tell people the truth, that they are going to die. Why lie to people? The J&J injection is a vaccine in the traditional sense. The other two are not, they are much more like a treatment or prophylactic.

I'm fine with social distancing, and I'm fine with wearing a mask which I do to keep my job. I'm not fine with force, nor encouraging people to do stupid things. Children should not wear masks. Nobody should wear one outdoors or when exercising.

No it isn't.

While adenoviral vectors have been tested in far more people than mRNA vaccines, the technology is used in only one commercial vaccine today: a rabies vaccine used to immunize wild animals. So far, no adenoviral vector vaccines have demonstrated they can prevent disease in humans.

What's more, adenovirus vaccines may preclude the use of booster shots any time soon.

There’s another potential problem. Just as human bodies develop immune responses to most real viral infections, our bodies also develop immunity to adenoviral vectors. That makes booster shots of adenoviral vector vaccines problematic. Upon a second injection, our bodies will unleash an antibody attack on the vaccine itself. And since adenoviral vectors are based on natural viruses that some of us might already have been exposed to, the vaccines might not work for everyone.

“Children should not wear masks. Nobody should wear one outdoors or when exercising.”

Lately, in our part of Californicator land, norte of SF, we are seeing less children wearing masks, except when lined up to go classes or leaving.

The people living in/on our cul de sac can be very vocal against Karens trying to chide us into wearing masks.

I’m pushing people, including some members of my family and friends into getting back to normal after our vaccinations. (see my tag line for close to 2 months)

2 recent widow friends are pushing for a return of luncheons of what they called the Church Ladies’ Monthly luncheons. They have one scheduled for next month.
