You are completely missing the point here though. Who gives a shit how much people drink in a day? It’s the fact that this government there has decided unilaterally that you can’t have more than six bottles of beer a day even though beer is perfectly legal and not a controlled substance.

What’s next, rationing food?

Hey PASig,

I made a poor attempt to add some good natured humor. I agree 100% with the point you were making.

Exactly. So alcohol is one more freedom they take. Then they will take another and another. When you come out the other side government has control of literally every decision you make no matter how small. After all, they are the smart ones and won’t life be better for all when they get to make all the decisions.

It is mind boggling that all of the supposed experts are treating the WuFlu like a super virus that is unlike any other virus in history. Cornoviruses are nothing new, the common cold is one.

Other Coronoviruses (and many viruses in general) often mutate into different strains. You become immune to each strain after you've had it, but also have some cross immunity to other similar strains. It is hard to vaccinate against diseases that mutate often, hence the reason there is no cold vaccine and flu vaccines are very hit and miss. Basically, it's hard to hit a moving target.

Yet we have heard the most outlandish things that are in contradiction to everything we already know:

- Maybe you don't become immune after you have it! Wrong - you become immune to that strain
- People are getting it twice! Wrong - the tests have such high false positive and negative rates that you can easily get any combination of positives and negatives.
- Maybe natural immunity isn't as good as being vaccinated! Wrong
- Maybe natural immunity wears off! Wrong
- You should get vaccinated even if you've had it! Wrong
- If we vaccinate everyone for the initial strain, we will eradicate it! Wrong - it mutates like every other coronavirus so it's a moving target

We also know that viruses like this become more transmissible and less deadly as they mutate because that is how natural selection works. The only purpose for a virus is to replicate as much as possible and infect as many as possible and killing the patient tends to reduce transmission.

The Spanish Flu of 1918 was never cured. It just naturally faded away into the background over a couple years.

WuFlu will do the same - it will just become another illness that circulates each year like the Flu, and probably be about as deadly, which means not very deadly, except to elderly and people with known risk factors.

Australia depends a lot on trade with China, and lots of Chinese go to Australian universities to learn English. I think it's likely a lot of politicians and media have been compromised by China and are following the CCP playbook. Perhaps the CCP wants to see how far a "free" western republic can be pushed into totalitarianism.

A major problem with our current "vaccines" is they are leaky, and may very well select out mutations that are more transmissible and potentially more virulent to the next host, "vaccinated" or not.

In this regard natural immunity is still superior due to the fact that it provides reactivity to more than just a single protein from many generations ago.

NY Hospital Forced To Stop Delivering Babies After Maternity Workers Resign Over Vaccine

https://www.zerohedge.com/covi...-resign-over-vaccine

A hospital in upstate New York has been forced to 'pause' the delivery of babies starting Sept. 24 after a flood of maternity workers resigned over Covid-19 vaccine mandates.

Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer made the announcement in a Friday press conference, according to WWNY. According to Cayer, six employees in the maternity unit resigned and another seven are 'undecided,' rendering the hospital unable to safely deliver children.

"If we can pause the service and now focus on recruiting nurses who are vaccinated, we will be able to reengage in delivering babies here in Lewis County," said Cayer.

Cayer said 165 hospital employees have yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19; that’s 27 percent of the workforce.

The other 464 workers, or 73 percent of employees, have gotten their shots, he said.

In August, the state announced all health care workers at hospitals and long-term care facilities across New York would be required to have gotten at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination by September 27.

Cayer said the announcement prompted 30 workers to get vaccinated, while another 30 resigned. -WWNY

New York isn't the only state with healthcare workers who refuse to get vaxxed. Last month, a group of New Mexico healthcare workers protested vaccine mandates - which they say 'take away people's choice and informed consent,' and 'violate medical codes of ethics as well as fundamental human rights, the constitution, and the Nuremberg Code,' according to KFOX14.

^^^^^ Good for them.

I worked there for a time years ago. Some good folks up in Lowville.

Sounds something like the notion of “Flatten the curve.”
I hope the entire staff walks out.

That’s good. Put the pressure on the admins to do the right thing.

I am unclear on how we decide which news stories, posts and medical “experts” we are to believe. Is it just the ones that support my view?

IOW, if we don’t believe anything how do we emphatically support this and specifically “this”?

Yep, I read that and reacted about the same way. Privileges? Really? What a prick.

quote:

Official guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledges people have some level of immunity after COVID-19 recovery. But the agency still recommends the vast majority of Americans get a COVID-19 vaccine, asserting the protection is even better when combining natural immunity and a jab.

There is scant at best evidence that taking the jab after recovering from Covid provides 'additional' immunity. And what of the additional risk (and there is risk with any drug) of taking the vax versus relying on natural immunity that imparts no additional risk? Yeah, apparently the media is simply to stupid and/or corrupt to ask such a complicated question.

quote:

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, last month pointed to a study conducted by CDC and Kentucky researchers that suggested vaccines actually provide better protection than previous infection.

“These data further indicate that COVID-19 vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone and that vaccines, even after prior infection, help prevent reinfections,” the agency said in a statement.

Yeah, I read through that Kentucky researcher's study. It's tiny in it's scope compared to the huge study done by the Israelis on natural immunity. The fact that the head of the CDC would attempt to extrapolate anything of significance from one tiny study tells you everything you need to know about these clowns and their vaccine agenda. I want to see Walensky's complete investment portfolio to see how much Pfizer and Moderna stock this broad owns.

Here's an outrageous idea: Let individuals decide for themselves what's most appropriate for them?

Yep, I too applaud their efforts. This 'is' how all of this BS ends. Employees in healthcare have enormous leverage right now due to huge staffing shortages. If they'll simply stick together on this, they can drive these big healthcare companies to behave rationally and responsibly again.

Step 1 - Use the internet and educate yourself on human biology and the history of viruses and vaccines. You need not be an immunologist or some other 'expert' to have a good grasp of the subject matter.
Step 2 - With the knowledge acquired in Step 1, apply common sense to what you're reading or listening to. Again, you need not be an expert to weed out a lot of the BS.
Step 3 - Read everything you can get your hands on, on both sides of the discussion. The more the better.
Step 4 - Make the best decisions you can for yourself knowing and accepting they likely will not be perfect. But recognize the 'experts' in immunology and virology have been wrong about 90% of the time when it comes to their predictions and recommendations regarding this virus.

That's about the best any of us can do. The mistake most people make is to simply accept the opinion(s) of someone on TV the media calls an expert.

I just found this, not sure if it has been posted already. You can search to see reported deaths and side affects from vaccines. https://vaers.hhs.gov

I dont know how it is anywhere else, but here in the Yoop there is a constant bombardment of TV ads from the state, Feds and other entities touting the Vax. Over and over again. Endlessly.

I've seen a few of these on what little over the air broadcasting that I record. We usually skip commercials, but we do it 28 seconds at a time so we can see bits of them. Occasionally we will let them run while we get up to get a snack or visit the bathroom, and I have seen the .gov ones that we all paid for.
