I haven't posted for several years after my comments were unceremonially erased by moderators. I am a conservative who voted for Trump and hope to vote for Pompeo. So my pedigree is established. I'm afraid that FreeRepublic is becoming a nucleus for some very bad information about covid. I've had several uvaccinated friends die in their 40's from covid. This dangerous possible bioweapon is very dangerous. I am vaccinated and am glad I am. My 101 year old mother in law survived a bout with covid because of her vaccinations. The vaccine is a rough one. I had 2-3 days of side effects leaving some scars on my shoulder. The MRNA vaccines. The vaccine (more like a prophylactic therapeutic ) does not protect you from the disease. It only mitigates symptoms. I'm saying all this to urge conservatives that are in risk categories to get vaccinated. We have already lost at least 2 talk show hosts and Herman Cain to this insidious Wuhan flu. So go ahead and flame me and join the suffering ones from Idaho.
Hang in there. I know an unvaxxed 90 year old in good condition. He was in the hospital for covid with fever and low oxygen level. Recently came home.
I have been vaccinated 3 times with the Moderna shot. I chose to do it, nobody forced me to. I took a calculated risk, and I’m doing ok. I am however, AGAINST anyone being forced to receive it. It should be a choice. There is so much information out there it’s hard to keep track of it all. I don’t trust the federal government anymore than anyone else on this forum. I don’t know when this is all going to end , but I do know that it isn’t the Black Death or the Spanish Flu.
I plan on living my life and not being afraid of everything. Nobody Should.
“This dangerous possible bioweapon is very dangerous.”
I’d be all for you staying and heading up the Department of Redundancy Department. Your tautology skills appear sufficiently adequate.
Herman Cain was severely weakened from cancer treatment.
Thanks, but no thanks. I have really had all I can take of all of this. Why we haven’t been taken over by another country completely baffles me. When the Indians and Pakistanis go to war in a major way, the Indians will go into battle dancing Bollywood style probably WITHOUT masks. The percentage of them that will be vaccinated must be the subject of a study by Harvard at the cost of millions to U.S. taxpayers. That is about how crazy it’s getting. Want more (do not say yes)?
I debated it and decided the vaccine made sense for me. I
I’m happy I got it.
That said, none of us know the right path or how we’ll see this issue ten years from now... looking back. No crystal ball. I could have made the worst choice.
I’m against mandates...that’s the one thing I’m sure about.
Excellent post, BTW.
In re-reading my own post, it was not as clear as I intended. I do not support mandates. I am vaccinated, but my doctor told me he regrets being vaccinated (he’d already had covid) and felt he was pressured into taking the vaccine.
I have very mixed feelings about a booster shot.
Say what?
I stand with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on this one.
They have stated that there is virtually NO modern medical product that is 100% pure and untainted by stem cells in some stage of development or testing; however, there are some which are "purer" than others and some which are "dirtier" than others.
That's called "we live in a broken, fallen world" and it is hubris and the vilest of works righteousness to imagine that somehow we can rise above all of that by our own little bootstraps. Kind of like being a medical never-Trumper who can never find a candidate who is "conservative enough".
The USCCB has said that the Pfizer and Moderna injections are about as untainted as possible in this broken world AND that J & J and A-Z are downright dirty and best avoided by people of faith and goodwill.
I posted several times after the joek surrendered in Afghanistan that if I was the CCP, the invasion of Taiwan would be ON for the next Monday.
Dang!
I had a dog back in the 80s on Guam, he got corona, dehydrated quickly. Vet inoculated him and by evening he was making good progress.
How many and who are the pro vaccine mandators here?
Even if it were a vaccine against the bubonic plague I cannot see how there would be pro vaccine mandators. Because people would be dying to get vaccinated without a mandate.
Hint: COVID-19 isn't anything like the bubonic plague.
Either way...shots or not is plenty scary.
The absolutely worse thing we could have done was isolate everyone. Heard immunity is a God given trait in Humans. If it were not for the heard immunity effect, flus and other airborne illnesses would have repeatedly wiped out huge populations throughout history.
As for shutting us in, that was to increase the deaths and severity on the population. Common science logic tells us colds and flus are worse in the Winter Months because everyone is shut in with doors and windows closed. The dirty little secrete its that the Flus and colds can be as sever, and even more so at times in Summer Months. However, because everyone is outside and or with windows open they do not effect as many people.
Another thing that is well known in the medical field is that when A/C was invented, they learned that people working in closed offices got sicker in Summer Months than those without A/C. The A/C may circulate air, but not as efficiently as nature does with windows open.
As for masks, the medical community learned that in hospitals it is good to wear a mask in surgery or around patients with certain illnesses that are airborne, but they also know that wearing a mask long term is dangerous. It is especially dangerous forms young children whose lungs are still developing, and for asthmatics, which I am.
The science being spread around by the left and some on the right is so ass backwards it is like the country under Biden and the left. If you want to destroy a society, you would do exactly what they are doing.
This is all on purpose. The Black Death created a capitalist market by actually killing off Kings, Nobles, and the peasants. Kings Lords started offering money for the first time to steel serfs from other Lords. Capitalism was reborn, and the great Middle Class sprung up.
Ever since then, the elitist mindset has been trying to destroy the Middle Class to put us back under their control. The Black Death created the great Middle Class, the modern fake pandemic is recreating Feudalism, only today they call out communism.
It is a fact that the only reason America has never fallen is because of the great Middle Class, well look how they are destroying it. All this was planned by the left with China’s help.
Lots of sketchy information on all sides. Someone here the other day said that vaccinated people cannot donate blood. That is FALSE. Also, there is a widely held belief here that India magically wiped out Covid with Ivermectin when in fact India has removed HCQ and Ivermectin from its treatment protocols after studies found that these drugs have little to no effect on Covid-related mortality or clinical recovery of the patient. Others accept as gospel the theory that the vaccines are responsible for the spread of the Delta variant and deny that vaccinated people who contract Covid have significantly better outcomes than the unvaccinated.
I don't think the vaccine should be forced on anyone. I also think those who make the choice to get the vaccine shouldn't be bullied on this site.
The anti vaxxers on here are being a tad ridiculous at this point.
Don’t take YOUR medical advice from FR
That’s something you and your doc should decide
I say that as one who chose to get vaccinated. Not interested in getting glass lung
He never said that at all. He only urged those with medical conditions that warrant it to consider getting the vaccine.
Why do you feel the need to put words in his mouth?
