Funny that someone mentioned dignity. That's been one of the main reasons for me to not wear that stupid mask. I refuse to willingly let them make a fool out of me by playing this dumbass game.

Here Michigan goes again. Whitmer can bring back the whip and black face mask.

CDC Director Warns Michigan 'to Close Things Down'

https://www.newsmax.com/us/cdc...21/04/12/id/1017321/

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on Monday that Michigan should “close things down” as COVID-19 cases rise in the state, Axios reports.

Walensky, speaking at a press briefing, called on Michigan officials “to close things down” after the state’s average daily case count rose dramatically in the last several weeks.

"The answer” to rising case numbers “is to really close things down, to go back to our basics, to go back to where we were last spring, last summer ... to flatten the curve, to decrease contact with one another, to test to the extent that we have available, to contact trace,” Walensky said on the conference call, according to CNBC.

“There are different tools that we can use for different periods” during an outbreak, she said. “We know that if vaccines go in arms today, we will not see an effect of those vaccines, depending on the vaccine, for somewhere between two to six weeks.”

Walensky added, “So when you have an acute situation, extraordinary number of cases like we have in Michigan, the answer is not necessarily to give vaccine. In fact, we know that the vaccine will have a delayed response.

“Similarly, we need that vaccine in other places,” Walensky said. “If we vaccinate today, we will have impact in six weeks, and we don’t know where the next place is going to be that is going to surge.”

She warned that it’s essential for Michigan to start shutting down, noting that "if we tried to vaccinate our way out of what is happening in Michigan, we would be disappointed that it took so long for the vaccine to work, to actually have the impact.”

No one needs to rationalize to himself not to wear a mask. This is beyond absurd. It's the exact opposite in fact. A nation of young, healthy people wearing a mask to pointlessly try and stop a virus from infecting them that has an over 99.97% survival rate for most of these people wearing these silly face coverings is so beyond the realm of ridiculousness that I find it difficult to even comprehend that I'm actually living amongst these people on a daily basis.

We tend to look back on human civilizations in the past with disdain at how backwards and unsophisticated those people were (burning "witches" at the stake, the Spanish Inquisition, gods and goddesses, slavery, superstition), but yet here we are...Arguably one of the most embarrassingly, silly moments ever in human existence with the way people have reacted to this impotent pandemic. We should all be ashamed with how the world has responded this past year. We deserve the scorn of future, hopefully better people.

I don't wear a mask and I have not been vaccinated. The local shopping centers all have mask required signs on the door but I would say it's about 50/50 for the mask wearers once you go inside. That ratio seems to be the case for some time now.

Most disposable masks are made in China or are made from materials made in China. Think about that. What kinds of fibers are these things shedding with every breath a person takes?

I'd rather breathe through a rag soaked in two weeks of sweat than through anything coming out of the PRC.

Here comes the microchipping....

https://www.oann.com/darpa-unv...rveillance-purposes/


The Pentagon unveiled a coronavirus microchip that it claims can detect illness and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“The tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body. And that signal means you’re going to have symptoms tomorrow,” retired Col. Matt Hepburn, an army infectious disease physician said.

The implant was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which claimed the device can not be used for surveillance purposes.
However, the idea to microchip humans due to COVID-19 appears to prove so-called “conspiracy theorists” were right all along.

Hepburn compared the microchip to a check engine light.

“We can have that information in three to five minutes. As you truncate that time, as you diagnose and treat, what you do is you stop the infection in its tracks,” Hepburn explained.

DARPA claimed COVID microchipping would only be used in the military, and there’s no plans for a civilian use of the device.

Critics have said the Democrat Party could mandate such microchipping on a broader scale.

The monumental amount of stupidity in these comments is astounding for a person that is supposed to be 'educated'. Again, returning to where we were a few months ago, the data point of new 'cases' means exactly nothing. Example. If 10k people tested positive and all 10k were asymptomatic, would that really be an issue? And what is the condition of the hospitals across Michigan in terms of capacity? Once again, these are the morons giving orders, hence the reason why I have nothing but utter contempt for them. When I was a senior analyst many moons ago, I would have been summarily fired if I provided this sort of crap analysis. This country is doomed if we continue to allow these sorts of people to continue to exert control over us.

As compromised as the media and CDC have become, who’s to say that the numbers are even on the rise anyway? The left just successfully stole elections on a massive scale; we can’t even be sure how many there actually were IMO. Why should we believe these people telling us “numbers are in the rise”? They seem awfully desperate to get needles in arms despite telling us that they may not even be effective against the “new strain”.

We can't believe any of these numbers. I don't think there was ever a time these numbers could be trusted.

Maybe that's why only 18% of the people here in Missouri have been vaccinated.

SHOT DOWN FDA to ‘pause use of Johnson & Johnson’ vaccine while rare cases of blood clots are investigated

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/...-clots-investigated/

THE FDA could be about to halt the use of the Johnson & Johnson single-dose Covid vaccine over blood clot concerns.

Federal health agencies are set to call for use of the vaccine to be paused today while rare cases of blood clots are investigated.

It comes after six recipients of the the jab in the US developed a rare disorder involving blood clots within about two weeks of vaccinations, officials briefed on the decision said according to the New York Times.

Almost seven million people in the US have so far received the Johnson & Johnson shot according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The move to pause the jab would be just a precaution, with the federal government to stop administration of the vaccine at all federally run vaccination sites, with state health officials expected to do the same.

Scientists with the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control will examine possible links between the vaccine and the disorder.

It will determine whether the FDA should continue to authorize use of the vaccine for all adults or limit it.

Meanwhile, a man in New Jersey has been hospitalized with Covid, just five weeks after being vaccinated.

Francisco Cosme, 52, had his one-dose vaccine on March 6 and continued to wear a mask and social distance, reports the New York Post.

Just a few weeks later, however, Cosme tested positive for Covid and has became hospitalized after his condition worsened.

This is the Show Me State!

You're gonna have to convince me that this vaccine is safe (long term) and effective. Don't think that you can just pressure me into taking an experimental vaccine by telling me I'll need a 'vaccine passport' to travel or attend social functions or to go work out. That's not freedom of choice.

Was just sent this article from someone at work, I guess this is what I have to look forward to soon:
Confused

quote:

“If someone chooses ultimately for religious reasons or medical reasons not to get vaccinated, we're going to have to respect that,” Hayes said. “But we're also going to have to make sure we can keep the rest of the employees...safe. So that may mean...someone that's not vaccinated is never coming back to the office.”


I work for a defense contractor...

They are going to bribe or threaten people into getting this vaccine we still have NO FRIGGEN CLUE what it does to you in 6 months or a year.
