There hav been around 900 deths soon after getting the vacsine and it looks to me like THEY are suppressing the info.

Not hiding it outrite, but making it more difficult to get solid, eazy to understand numberz.

Depending on how you word your Googe serch, you can get lost in a bunch uv ambiguous dubl tok or storyz about individual casez.

I dont want to giv the impression that I am an anti-vaxxer, but I think therez more uv a risk than they want to admit.

The risk uv dying or getting hospitalized and possibly permanently damajd by C19 iz sumthing like 5% IF you get it.

If you get vacsinated befor being expozed, your oddz go WAY down.

But, wut if you are wun uv the 95% hoo woudnt hav been badly effected by the virus and are wun uv the .2% hoo will be severely effected or killed by the vacsine?

Its like a lottery!

I'm not an anti-vaxxer either, JO.

I'm quite happy that I didn't get the mumps or polio or measles or smallpox when I was a kid.

This is different though. Seems you know that.

I won't tell you what to do.

It IS a lottery for sure.

But hear me out...

The conspiracy theorist part of me thinks that maybe I'd be making a huge mistake by refusing to get it.

What if they're giving one to everybody that is easily terrified or their spirit is easily broken first. Then moving on to those who can be manipulated through guilt.

But then instead of going full draconian, our buddies in China just unleash Covid 20. It only wipes out about 2 to 5% of the people who were vaccinated against Covid 19, but kills 100% of everybody who didn't get a vaccination?

Almost an overnight extermination of anybody who doesn't obey and/or isn't easily led. They can just call it a mutation and everybody left alive would buy it.

"If they'd only followed the science..." they'd say to their photographs of Joe Biden* hanging proudly in their living rooms.





I'm still not getting it either way. But that's how little I trust anybody in our government. It makes no difference at all whether it was Biden* or Trump sitting in that oval office today.

And at the end of the day, no matter what anybody says in the future, forced vaccination is rape.

You can just download it and put it on your Kindle.

The point is that it's free and you paid for it.



I dont hav a Kindle. I've herd they are great, but I like books. Call me old fashioned. No power required. No direct LED fotonz directly impinjing on my retinaz. Not severely effected* by partial water dunking if I'm reading in the bath.

The hardcover wuz 29$. Now its mine. No chans uv 'file iz corrupted' or aksidently deleting it.

I know! I coud just DL it for free agen, probably. But wut if I cant? Cant afford interweb. Collapse uv the interweb. Amazon or wutevr tek jiant desidez they want to grab $ for downloading. Or the publisher.

With the actual book in my pozession, I can read it agen any time I want (likely never).

*effected or affected? I uzed to hav the distinction down solid!

Fair enough.

But the bigger question then is, why bother keeping score if that's the statistic? It's borderline meaningless.

The only real number that matters is the amount of people who have been tested. Not the amount of tests that have been administered. In and of itself, this stat can't even be compared to any of the other numbers and output anything worthwhile.


How many people HAVEN'T gotten one? That would be interesting to know now that the number of tests administered are so much higher than actual people living here.

No worries on eff and aff... Ask Kiki. I make that mistake half the time and she'll always point it out to me when I do.

Wanting to read an actual book is a legit reason. I've got three hand-me-down kindles and outside of using one of them for PDFs for testing materials in a class, I never use them and prefer books myself.

But I've still downloaded a lot of books that I'm interested in reading when I get around to them. I've got them if I can't find them at the library. And unless an EMP knocks out all the shit we've saved, there's no chance I'm losing any of it since it's backed up all over the place.

I can eat for a week on $29. No way I'd give that to Obama. No way I'd give that to Trump. Those are pure library-or-free-download reads for sure.



By the way... did you ever take my advice back in the day and file for that unemployment? I hope you did, because boy what good timing for you man.

Good to hear that you did it man. I always wondered what came about that since you seemed really hesitant to apply for it at first.

Add "white and no diploma" to over 40 years old and male and it's pretty much a death sentence to a job search unless you don't mind stocking shelves and working for somebody 10 years younger with half your IQ in the 2020's.



Hope you're saving that windfall and working on ways to get yourself into a position where you can thrive on next to nothing.

It's pretty sweet once you get used to it.

Dr. Deborah Birx revealed in a CNN documentary clip released Sunday that she received a "very uncomfortable" and "very difficult" phone call from Donald Trump after speaking publicly about the spread of Covid-19 while serving in the former President's administration.

During his time in office, Trump repeatedly contradicted his own medical officials.

In August, Birx warned that the US was "in a new phase" of the coronavirus pandemic with more widespread cases, telling CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" at the time that "what we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread."

By contrast, Trump in August repeatedly highlighted New Zealand's recent coronavirus outbreak while claiming the US had done a good job of containing the virus. At the time, New Zealand had reported 1,304 confirmed infections and 22 coronavirus-related deaths, while the US had recorded at least 5,527,306 Covid-19 cases and 173,114 related deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

In addition to disclosing the phone call with Trump, Birx revealed in the documentary that the number of coronavirus deaths could have been "decreased substantially" if cities and states across the country had aggressively applied the lessons of the first surge toward mitigation last spring, potentially preventing the surges that followed.

"I look at it this way. The first time we have an excuse," Birx said. "There were about a hundred thousand deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially." But only if Trump had stopped repeatedly contradicted his own medical officials.
