Vast Majority of Americans Won't Let COVID Hype and Warnings Interfere With Holiday Plans
Pjmedia ^ | 12/19/2021 | A.J. Kaufman

I’ve been on the road across several states since Dec. 4. For the most part, life is the most normal it’s been in the past 18 months in most locales. It’s clear that almost no one is downscaling any plans for a second straight Christmas due to paranoia or misinformation.

A new national poll confirms this. It shows the majority of vaccinated Americans — 73% — will keep plans to attend in-person holiday events in the coming weeks, even as bureaucrats advise people to take extra precautions amid “surging” COVID-19 cases.

An even higher proportion of the unvaccinated, more than three in four, said the same.

The poll also reported a similarly high rate of both the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations would happily dine indoors at a restaurant.

Meanwhile, a startling 83% of vaccinated people said they would still mask up in public indoor places, compared with only 63% of unvaccinated folks. I’ve not seen mask requirement indoors anywhere except sports venues on college campus, where they’re ignored anyway.

I have had 30% travel cancellations already due to Covid fear or exposures.

Now waiting to see what happens on Tuesday with whatever plan Biden attempts to rollout.

Two years of this crap. We’re done.

Here in NJ, this is being met with a roll eyes. Sure, people are on guard but I don’t get the sense that it is like before. Most are tired of this shit.

Eighteen of us evil non-vaxxed gathered at a local restaurant last night. We’ve been through with the threats for a long time.

I’m heading out in the morning to drive across the country to spend Christmas with family. I’ll report back if I survive.

American people to restrictions: Kiss My .....mistletoe loved one. (Cleaned up for family time Christmas season.)

I was amazed to hear yesterday (on Dan Bongino sub show) that
watering holes during lockdowns had rear door welcomes to discreet friends who wanted the place open for business secretly. Wow. Untouchables time.

Code name to get in? Maybe “Fauci sent me.”

Leave a trail of dried pine needles all the way. We'll watch for you. Merry Christmas.

Yup—definitely saw that coming.

Homo sapiens can get very creative.

The “law” is for suckers these days.

“Do what you want and don’t get caught” is the urban mantra.

Just stick together and keep the faith.

When you’re unvaxed you’re unvaxed all the way,
from your first unjabbed time
to your last dyin’ day.

Let them do what they can,
You got brothers around,
You’re a family man!
You’re never alone,
You’re never disconnected!
You’re home with your own—
When company’s expected,
You’re well protected!

In CA last year literally underground speakeasy soccer games for youth were held—because outdoor soccer was banned. Sad.

Unfortunately, everyone out here believes the hype. I walked through a mall this afternoon and everyone was wearing a face diaper.

The strong resisted all this crap from day one. Our philosophy is, “Take your daily Covid cocktail and get on with life as God intended.”

I am fully embracing the isolation recommendations. The bride stated the other day that she wanted to forego the annual trip to her family on Christmas day and just enjoy the day unrushed at our house with my son and his girlfriend.

I cannot begin to express how much I hated Christmas day for over 30 years all due to having to rush through the morning barely time to enjoy a coffee, driving 1 1/2 hours to join a bunch of savages chomping down turkey and ham sitting on top of each other, spending a few minutes exchanging stupid gifts and the driving another 1 1/2 hours home.

I so look forward to Christmas day this year and hopefully the start of a new tradition.

Using a stun gun instead of a real gun was considerate.
Instead of just letting them walk free unprosecuted as usual, maybe they should put them up in one of the hotels for a few nights.
