Trust is the coin of the realm.

And Deep State is flat busted.

And so are Big Pharma, Big Med, Big Tech, Big Biz...

My trust has been destroyed in the number of American people that were so willing to trust/capitulate to the government.

Hope so, but there are still too many people out there wearing masks and teaching their kids fear.

I’m also not trusting DOCTORS. In January I asked about using Ivermectin and Budesonide should I get C-19. Well, I was told no and that I should really consider getting the ‘vaccine’ due to my age. Reason given was that the ‘studies’ had not shown Ivermectin was the best drug to treat C-19!! And, the vaccine that is not FDA approved is the right option?...!!!!!!!

Thankfully there are places to go that list Drs. who will prescribe Ivermectin.

Too many medical Drs. and nurse ranks were pushed to get and push the vaccine due to listening to CDC. I listen to sound mind professionals, The Holy Spirit and fellow spirit filled believers......

Climate change and the FBI did it long ago for me.

I have been saying, almost from the beginning of this Covid debacle: how many times must 'experts' be wrong before we quit calling them 'experts'?

That’s because ruling class experts are more interested in ruling than in their so-called expertise.

I used to give the idea that extraterrestrials had visited Earth about a 10% chance.

Now that the government assures me that there are indeed UFOs flying about, I am certain we have never been visited.

That's how much I trust "my" government.

These Mandarin "experts" in government have shat one too many times into our freedom and liberty bed to be given another chance at fouling our nest.

".... I think the vaccine is worse than COVID. Too much trust in experts...."

I don't know if the vaccine is worse than the covid but therein lies the dilemma.

The covid disease itself has only a .02% mortality rate....very small. That is a fact based on cases so far. It has a track record.

But the experimental vaccines are not determined yet. There is no long-term track record for their side effects or mortality rate. It is something altogether new you are injecting into your body without knowing what could result next week, next month, or even years from now.

You are deliberately altering your body's natural immune system. To what end? To please the experts? To look good to your peers? To satisfy the government mandates? To get your "passport" to be able to live freely in an already free society?

I just think it is a little too early to be touting the benefits of these vaccines when they were rushed to market on an emergency basis and we're finding out now that the totality of the side effects are being kept from the public.

The benefits the experts espouse of increased immunity and reduction in the severity of symptoms when you do get covid, but you can still get covid. And the tyrannical politicians are saying you still need to wear a mask afterwards. So what's the point, no pun intended? Why tempt fate?

Your get the covid because the corona virus is in our atmosphere and environment. You can't escape its presence. Even by wearing masks and locking yourself in your home.

But you have to deliberately go out of your way to receive the vaccines. They are not dead, inert particles lying around like the virus itself is.

So on the one hand you don't get to choose whether you get infected and get covid. It's random on your part. But on the other hand, you do get to chose whether or not you get vaccinated. It's deliberate on your part.

I choose not to get the vaccine because I think my chances are better with getting the covid. 02% death rate is better than not knowing the odds at all. No matter what the "experts" tell me.

Totally agree.

Just a fact of life: you might get a disease, you might die, that’s the chance everyone always faces. Of course, it makes sense to mitigate the risk (cook your chicken thoroughly, wash your hands, etc.) But, in general, the odds are good that you will live until tomorrow.

But volunteering? Volunteering for an experimental, unapproved medicine with no track record?? If I died from that, I would feel like a complete schmuck.

".... If I died from that, I would feel like a complete schmuck...."

That would be even funnier if it weren't so true.

I didn't mention it in my original comment but when I read that all of these blue states are offering millions in lottery winnings and other prizes and rewards as incentives to those who will step up to get a vaccine that they are having trouble selling to the public, then I smell a rat.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" with these vaccines.
