Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) observed that Dr. Anthony Fauci was once able to “tell the truth” about natural immunity — a reality the White House chief medical adviser has largely dismissed throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. “Hmmm…Once upon a time Anthony Fauci could tell the truth…What happened?” Paul asked, referring to an older clip of Fauci on CSPAN, where the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief firmly defended the concept of natural immunity against an illness. When asked if someone who had the flu for 14 days needed a flu shot, Fauci said, “Well, no. If she...

It’s just the flu, bro. Posted a reply to a thread recently about getting religious vaccine waivers. I don’t think I have ever put this information on any Flubros threads before but it is actually a topic in which I know something, as opposed to just having an opinion. I successfully received a religious vaccine waiver about 8 years ago as part of my green card process. This exempted me from all of the vaccines normally required for prospective immigrants to the USA. I had a top immigration lawyer with experience in these waivers help me prepare the document. I...

It’s just the flu, bro. About half the country believes that the freedom of Americans is worth less than the perceived incremental increase in saving lives that would be achieved by a vaccine mandate. The only way to change this is some combination of 1. Americans changing their attitude about the importance of freedom, 2. educating people about the benefits of non-vaccine treatments, and 3. informing people that the benefits of the vaccine are considerably less than is being touted. Improving the American understanding of the importance of freedom requires taking back the education system. This is critical to do...

It’s just the flu, bro. Covid is a flu-like illness that has had a massive impact on society. This impact is due primarily to government intervention and not due to the disease itself. But government overreach for fake crises is nothing new. We have talked frequently on Freerepublic about the fake climate crisis, the fake systemic racism crisis, and the fake Covid crisis. The left needs fake crises because their demand for crises exceeds the supply - if there is no real crisis they need a fake one. My current thinking is that the world, especially Europe, will begin to...

It’s just the flu, bro. I am hearing of growing frustration with vaccine mandates from BLM. Blacks are more likely to not be vaccinated and, according to my critical race theory knowledge, any societal institution is systemically racist if it has any disparity at all between whites and blacks. I have, therefore, concluded that BLM could be a very useful ally to Americans who are against mandatory vaccinations. BLM are excellent at protesting. And the left-wing media is forbidden from criticizing them. What could go wrong? A few joint rallies/protests with both the commie BLM and freedom-loving patriots and we...

It’s just the flu, bro. So over the past two weeks my family has had, and recovered from, Covid. How do I know since I said I would never get tested? My wife got a home test and those who were affected had the same symptoms as her. So of the 14 people currently living in my house 4 people had headaches and diarrhea for an average of 3 days. Two people had a very mild headache for one day. The three oldest adults in the house had essentially zero symptoms as they diligently took vitamin D, Zinc, C ,...

It’s just the flu, bro. The vaccine is useless. Gibraltar, Israel and Mongolia all seem to have had their Covid “deaths” go up as the vaccine was rolled out. Countries around the world are tyrannically enforcing that people take this useless vaccine. And groupthink is causing many Americans to go along with this tyranny. Bioauthoritarianism must end. The more we comply, the more the tyrannical state ratchets up it’s mandates. The only way to stop this is to fight back. One of the best ways to fight back against Covid tyranny is on Election Day. Unfortunately, Covid rules are making...

It’s just the flu, bro. Some important Coronavirus news: 1. Nikki Minaj’s cousin’s friend in Trinidad got swollen testicles from the vaccine. He was slated to get married in a few weeks but the fiancée cancelled the wedding as he is impotent now (apparently they were frequently engaging in premarital relations). She has over 20 million Twitter followers (mostly Dems) who are now aware of the plight of her cousin’s friend. 2. Election in a week’s time in Canada - the 5 major political parties have all come out in favor of vaccine passports. The “conservative” party was leading in...

"It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube.”
