Stupid. Omicron is reportedly very mild.

They are shutting down the country for the common cold.

I’m starting to wonder: Do the powers that be think WE are the disease that needs to be eradicated?

Come on, Laz - THEY don't need most of US to run their Global Utopia.

We're just clutter in the scenery of their World National Parks...

Asians by me were HYPER SCARED of covid. Asian stores and restaurants always had the most stringent procedures, starting the soonest and ending the latest.

What they should do is require all foreigners to be fully vaccinated for at least 2 weeks prior to entry. They could maybe require people with a second dose more than 6 months ago to have a third dose. The third dose has measurable benefits in less than a week and gives peak protection in 2 - 3 weeks.

Vaccinated people don’t spread the virus as much as unvaccinated people. Even when infected they have the disease for a shorter time and can transmit for a shorter time. It’s unvaccinated people who are the super spreaders. All the new variants come from countries with low vaccination rates.

I have an inkling you may not belong here, with your “vaccine” cheerleading and bullshit peddling.

I'm sure your bullsqueeze would be a comfort to my fully vaccinated mother, who contracted covid from my fully vaccinated sister and fully vaccinated brother-in-law - if she wasn't dead these three weeks past...

Do you seriously think Godzilla is an amphibian? Follow the science, bro. He's a lizard people. I swear the level of education on FreeRepublic.com has really slipped. Which is probly why so many vax rabbits live here.

Pay close attention, I am only going to show you this once....

(from the Q files)

Now, did that look like an amphibian to you? And as you can see, Japan will be just fine.
