Meet the covid super-dodgers
Washongton Post ^ | 21 July 2022 | Ellen McCarthy

Joe and Susannah Altman are serious poker players. Sometimes, when they play in tournaments, they’ll place what’s called a “Last Longer” bet with friends who see which of them can outlast the others. The pandemic kept the Altmans, both 58, away from the in-person tables for over a year — Susannah has lupus, and at the time, they were caring for a friend with cancer — but they came out of lockdown a little over a year ago, after getting vaccinated, and since then have had some close calls. The Las Vegas couple dined with friends who subsequently tested positive. Joe spent a day with their 25-year-old son, only to have that son be diagnosed with covid 48 hours later. Just last month, Susannah went to lunch with four friends, two of whom tested positive days later.

“Joe and I feel like we’re still in the Last Longer with covid,” Susannah said in a recent phone interview.

She said she figures it’s only a matter of time before she gets knocked out. That’s the way the game goes.

“At some point,” she says, “there’s only one person left.”

There are no winners in a pandemic. That said, if you’ve made it to the summer of 2022 without yet testing positive for the coronavirus, you might feel entitled to some bragging rights. Who’s still in the game at this point? Not Anthony S. Fauci. Not President Biden, who tested positive this week. Not Denzel Washington, Camila Cabello or Lionel Messi. Not your friend who’s even more cautious than you but who finally caught it last week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that nearly 60 percent of Americans had contracted the virus at some point

Several days ago, I shared an email from another correspondent that MAY have escaped your notice. The link to the story is below. Just in case big pharma has it taken down, I copied it into my document file. Gee, you don’t think the trustworthy overlords running big pharma would want to keep us from employing a few cents worth H2O2 instead of their taxpayer funded vaccines and/or oral antibiotics a good portion of which funds almost certainly QUIETLY make their way into numbered Zurich accounts owned by (think key Democrats & RINOs here)? My guess is that today Ukraine is now in the loop. It makes the Mafia look like amateurs!
OK, here endeth the rant.

“you might not want to be arrogantly tooting your health horn just yet.”

Tons of slimy arrogance have been oozing from this guy for months. I’ve quoted Scripture to him but he’s Indian and I’m pretty sure Christian Scripture doesn’t mean much to him.

Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

“It’s possible to have had Covid and not know it.”

As a FReeper once posted, imagine a disease so vicious and deadly that you have to take a test to see if you have it.

My elderly folks and I are not jabbed, but the majority of my family is - both siblings, nieces, nephews, etc. The cancer diagnosis is the only thing thus far and I pray that is the extent of it, but I doubt it. My nephew & his wife are expecting - both jabbed, so we’re worried about the baby.

Wow ... all those folks you know. It’s worse than criminal what’s been done with the shots ... it’s hard to comprehend the evil.

the people that claim the vaccines are “safe and effective” also claim men can cut their junk off and convert to women...

But they were vaccinated. The Child Sniffer himself said we will not get covid with these vaccines.

I never slowed down. During the pandemic I visited 23 states, mostly for work. Hundreds of restaurants, dozens of hotels.

Refuse the death shot. I did finally catch it. So what? I had ivermectin and a vitamin protocol ready to go.

It’s a glorified flu.

I am too a PCa patient, and I refused the shots. My MO actually told me I would die from Covid, before I died from Cancer. He was literally standing in my space and practically spitting the words.

I told him, that sounds like good news doc. He was PO’d that I was wearing a Trump mask on my face, and it didn’t hide my disdain for his ignorance. I literally could hardly hold back my smile at his lack of research. He has a Masters from Harvard, big wheel in the AMA, and ignorant as all get out.

The tests are A JOKE. Made in China, with a 90% false positive rate. They ARE MADE to find more cases cases cases, and frighten people. Covid 19 was simply a dud for the vast majority of people. 99% of those who had it survived, those who didn’t were mostly on deaths bed anyway. In 2020, more died of the illness, in 2021/22 more are testing positive of it, and more are dying.......... POST clot shot...I mean mRNA gene treatment.

I should have said, I feel your connection to your dad through your words. Bless you, and God sees, and waits. There will be judgement for all who knowing better do evil. I would not want to be Fauci, Birx or the lockdown governors.
