The small businesses that have embraced the “proof of vaccine required for entry” approach are destroying themselves.
Despite glaring uncertainties, we must not deviate from orthodoxy on COVID. Vaccinations = good. For everyone, no matter the rate of death or other serious adverse reaction from COVID versus from the vaccine. Masks required, despite factually knowing they don’t effectively stop getting the virus, and have long-term health consequences, especially to children.
The societal ramifications of COVID and of vaccination are apparent. The very rich have gotten very much richer and very much more powerful, as the middle class and below have had the rug pulled out from under them due to ill-conceived government policies, media cover-ups, and tech censorship.
How many people who once had secure small businesses are teetering on the brink of disaster? We’ve ceded power over our lives to people who have no remorse about ruining others’ livelihoods if they can proclaim it’s for the greater good and keep us from finding out it isn’t. Wholesale censorship of divergent information is meant to obfuscate this and to keep us in line. No matter what happens with COVID, this tyranny must end.
Alex Berenson got permanently banned from Twitter this week. He allegedly violated the platform’s policy against COVID misinformation. Before his account was shut, one of Berenson’s final tweets about the vaccine read: “It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine. Think of it - at best - as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effects profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. And we want to mandate it? Insanity.”
This was a train of thought that those in power won’t allow us to contemplate.

A power grab.
This Scamdemic exposed the millions of cult members desperate to find their cult.
Hmmm... ill conceived.
Most small businesses, like restaurants, are owned and run by folks who know how to balance risk against gain. This is a capitalist trait, not commie. The latter, using the money of others, simply pick a plan (might as well be random since no one will ever check) and throw money.
Since small businesses are mostly capitalist, they are usually conservative,too. That makes them a target of the commies in charge.
High shutdown areas have already destroyed most of the businesses. Many still surviving simply want to survive and are willing to do anything. Even sell out to the commie elites in power. This will stop only when commie run businesses (e.g., BEN&JERRY) are in danger.
There’s nothing capitalist about bribing biz to do what you tell it.
And not all biz get the bribes, do they?
Nothing capitalist about that, either.
"For everyone, no matter the rate of death or other serious adverse reaction from COVID versus from the vaccine."
Risk of death from COVID: 2%
Risk of vaccine-related myocarditis: 0.001%
I trust most Freepers are smart enough to see which number is larger.

The statistics vary by age and comorbidity status. It is not 2% fatality for all age groups. But, the article is asking why isn’t previous COVID infection an acceptable excuse for not getting the jab. Testing is not being made readily available to screen out those who already have better immunity than the vaccine appears to provide.
What a lovely demonstration of resentment and immaturity.
There's a pandemic. People want to protect themselves and their families so they go out less. Businesses suffer.
What do children like this author do? Blame the elites, government, the media; blame anyone. Just avoid dealing with reality.

Smells like facism does it not ?
Meanwhile the Taliban still have an active Twitter Account.
‘This Scamdemic exposed the millions of cult members desperate to find their cult.’
quite sadly, a major portion of those cultists are young parents who can’t wait to fix dirty cloths to their children’s mugs and then proudly go out and proclaim their sainthood to the public at large...
children will be muzzled as long as parents care more for their public personas than their children’s welfare...
‘I trust most Freepers are smart enough to see which number is larger.’
I agree that the hyperbole concerning vaccine side effects gets to absurd levels on this, and many other forums...
what is not hyperbolic is concern over a govenment forcing medical treatments on the citizenry who has not approved it to do so...
‘People want to protect themselves and their families so they go out less. Businesses suffer.’
so governors of numerous states did not declare certain sectors of business nonessential and ordered them shut down for months at a time...? whew, you don’t know how relieved I am to hear that...
thanks for clearing that up for me...

I agree that no one should be forcibly vaccinated and if any government goons try to force a needle on someone who doesn't want it they deserve whatever they get.
Risk of (experimental) vaccine-related death long-term: Unknown
I would wager that 90% of Freepers can't name a single hormone fed to cattle raised for beef or a single ingredient in their prescription medications. The long-term risks of all these chemicals are also unknown, but that doesn't stop us from eating hamburgers or taking any other medical treatment our doctors recommend, just sayin'.
And if you get neither covid nor the vaccine, what is the risk?
And if you get neither covid nor the vaccine, what is the risk?
Realistically most people will be exposed to the COVID virus at some point, given the Delta variant's greater transmission rate. If you live in a shack deep in the wilderness then you probably won't get either COVID or the vaccine and your risk is 0, but for most of us it is inevitable to get either the disease or the vaccine.
