RE: about 35% of the people I know haven’t taken one shot and I’m in NY

I’M Willing to bet most of them are African Americans.

Nuremberg clarified our right to refuse to be part of experimental drug
testing. Emergency Use Authorization does not equal Emergency Use
Mandates.

A kind of hyper-speed Darwinian evolution has rendered it supremely able to infect, though less able to kill. It has learned from us how to optimize itself for maximum fitness.

That is a well crafted sentence intended to push the author's point of view but it has literally no evidence to support it, and is actually "misinformation" since it is exactly the opposite of what the published scientific papers say.

The Omicron variant of COVID is not a recent mutation from one of the other common COVID variants like Delta. It's relationship to the family tree of COVID-19 variants indicates that it is an older COVID variant, perhaps 18 months or more old.

There is no such thing as "hyper-speed Darwinian evolution". Evolution for any virus, bacteria, mammal, bird, fish or insect has rates determined by outside factors, the virus can't change that rate, but a lab technician can.

Omicron, like other organisms, has some indications of the environment it evolved in. That data indicates that Omicron most likely evolved in mice, not in human beings. That doesn't establish whether the mice were wild mice infected by humans, or mice who had the virus themselves from nature, or mice that lived in a laboratory.

Omicron is not "a cunning foe" it is just a virus. We would all be better off if the family of COVID-19 viruses it is a part of had never been allowed to leave Wuhan, but we can't re-do history. Of course we could ask why a "cunning foe" chose to allow infected people to leave Wuhan China for destinations outside of China, but did not allow people to leave Wuhan for destinations in China.

The Baric-Daszak-Fauci spike protein, by itself, is deadly.

Nope, Dr. Pelletier. Still not interested. I’ve had one vaccination my entire life and that was for smallpox. I’ll pass on getting this vaccine, also.

Looks like it has missed the war.

No. Not now, not ever. I’ve taken my last injection ever. One thing about all this, is that it has moved my already dubious trust in the medical community to a never trust position. Keep your pills, your boosters, your tainted products and leave me the heck alone. Will not comply is now my mantra.

The ophthalmologist’s choice to use war and battle terminology to argue his medical point is a poor one.

They argue like this because if they didn’t have anyone to blame, people who’ve had the vaxes and boosts would start wondering why they just don’t work.

Well that’s exactly why since the get go on these shots I’ve had a wait and see mindset. So glad I didn’t jump into the fray. Novavax does interest me but again wait and see down the road.

I do take the flu and pneumonia shots because I’m getting older and know my body isn’t as capable of defending itself as when younger. Had first shots in 2021. No reactions.

Is Novavax another Not-a-vax?
