You won't get an argument from MERC on that statement. -Tom
"Vaccine manufacturer Merck has abandoned development of two coronavirus vaccines, saying that after extensive research it was concluded that the shots offered less protection than just contracting the virus itself and developing antibodies."
That is exactly how I fight all viruses. Get small doses of virus cells by doing quick shopping trips. body can fight small invasion and develop antibody resistance. Locking yourself in basement means you have no resistance. Then you get exposed to infected person and you are in immediate trouble.
In TN theres a new bill in the state Legislature to pronounce a requirement for masks to enter buildings etc as discrimination...masks are called ‘medical devises’ in the bill...
Hopefully vaccines will be regarded as such too...
I laughed when i heard that on the radio this morning...Emperor Joe has signed an EO to require masks in federal buildings...that includes veterans to wear a mask to enter a VA clinic or hospital... or not be seen by a doctor...
I had a run in with a guy (non-veteran) the other day at the Chattanooga VA clinic who informed me that ‘the president’ said so...I asked him “What president. We dont have a president at the moment” Instead of just laughing it off the guy got more rude and nasty than he had been up to then...(He was going to deny me the opportunity for health care if I didnt wear a mask Paging Obama) I had my mask in my hand and so to get by him I put it on but told him he was a jack booted Nazi as i passed him...he called the police on me...
They call us Nazis nothing happens we call them Nazis back and they call the police to get us arrested...I was no threat to him...Im 5’ 2” he was huge and tall...
So if this law about masks passes in TN I hope it includes every building...
