It's not just Americans — global COVID-Slackers will keep the pandemic alive
The Hill ^ | 10/19/2021 | MICHAEL J. STERN

Posted on 10/19/2021 1:36:44 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

I thought COVID-19 anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers were a unique phenomenon of American stupidity, but having just returned from a two-week trip to England, I fear that the reckless response to a virus that has killed almost 5 million people worldwide is not an American thing — it’s a human thing.

Many of us who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and who have committed to the discomfort of wearing masks in indoor public places, have spent the better part of a year fuming at the estimated 93 million Americans who are eligible to receive the vaccine but refuse it — and the people who ignore mask requirements and walk through indoor public spaces with their mask hanging off one ear.

I figured this callous disregard for the safety of others had its genesis in the wave of anti-science paranoia that was stoked by our 45th president, but I witnessed the same wanton negligence an ocean away.

The sad life of a vaxx shill. Having to push that heavy boulder uphill every day. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying life. 😊

"...there will be a “covid pool” forever."...just like flu season is always with us world wide...keep washing your hands. Seems to work for flu and the common cold also.

This virus seems to affect everyone a little different.
I had no fever, no loss of taste and smell, I had the worst headache I have ever had, extreme fatigue, sore throat, running sinuses.
No coughing.

That’s what happens when you cook up a virus by patching other pieces of other viruses together in a lab in China.

People should be hanged for this.

Colin Powell died of Covid and he was fully vaxxed.

“Colin Powell died of Covid“

No, he didn’t. He died of multiple myeloma, which kills plenty of people, many far younger than Powell’s 84 years.

The “vaccine“ didn’t help Powell, but “COVID” didn’t kill him any more than it has killed around 600,000 of the alleged 640,000 “COVID deaths” in this country.

EVERYTHING about “ COVID” is a LIE, and that includes almost everything in the stories about Powell’s death.

He was vaccinated? How recently?

Maybe the vaccine killed him (too)

You cannot get Covid from an asymptomatic individual, vaccinated, or not! PERIOD! It is more likely the current cases of Covid are from fully-vaccinated who are increasingly testing positive more and more. I am unvaccinated and have been working in the healthcare industry since this whole thing broke out. I got the early (alpha) strain from my mother in hospice care who was positive. I got the delta strain from fully-vaccinated inmates whom I work among who became ill before being transferred to our prison...sick with Covid.

This nonsense of misinformation is coming from the ones being fed misinformation to the point they cannot think rationally any longer! What has happened to once level-headed Americans who could think rationally? Gone are those days...and I think forever!

What liberal Tripe.The only thing keeping the Covid virus in the environment are the people entering our country without testing and a 14 day lock down to assure they’re not carrying it and the people who have been previously shot up with that Genetic reprogramming software.

that’s where the covid virus is located and No amount of lies by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government can change it.

The Federal Government is the master of Misinformation and Disinformation.
