Bullshit.

This year 14 percent of adults have received a dose of the new vaccine formulation that became available in September — compared to 28 percent who have gotten a flu shot.
More than 80 percent of all Americans, and more than 90 percent of adults, received at least one dose of the vaccines, remarkable penetration in a country where less than half of people get their flu shot every year.
Ever since that first shot, the public’s interest in subsequent Covid-19 vaccines has been steadily dropping. Less than 70 percent of the US finished their initial two-dose vaccine series. Less than 20 percent of the country received last year’s bivalent booster shot.
Pfizer said in September that it expected about one in four Americans to get the latest shot. Though there is still time, current vaccination rates are well short of that goal. It is an open question how the for-profit pharmaceutical manufacturers who produce these vaccines will respond to what the market is telling them.

Kiki wasn't against the Covid vaccine, so that's not just a shitty thing to say but it's just as stupid as anything else you've ever posted.
Get your heart checked out idiot.

JewelStaiteFan had a theory that 1kiki and Signym are the same people: "Kinda curious how, when Kiki has extended absences, it is always at the same times when SignyM is missing, disabled, bedridden due to illness."

My theory is that "1kiki" and "SignyM" are front names for Russians posting from Moscow.
In two months it will be two years since "1kiki" posted anything: http://www.fireflyfans.net/profileshow.aspx?u=41207
It has only been hours since "SignyM" last posted:

"SignyM" would post even more often, but only if Putin would pay a higher wage.

I called bullshit when JSF said that and I'll call it bullshit if you're saying it now.
If Sigs and Kiki are the same person, she'd basically have to have split personality disorder in order to balance the differences between the two.
It's not as if Sigs and I have never argued about anything before, even specifically about Covid itself, but Kiki was on another world with her stance compared to Sigs regarding Covid and the vaccine and even the mandates. Our posts to each other devolved into borderline hate-posting at each other once we dug our heels in on the Covid topics.
All the while, Sigs was somewhere in the middle, agreeing with Kiki on some aspects of Covid/Vaccines and agreeing with me on others.
Basically, she thought I was full of shit when I said Covid wasn't dangerous at all, but she also disagreed with Kiki and took my side when I railed against Biden*'s tyrannical mandate that was costing people their jobs and livelihood.
Bottom line, regarding today's discussion, Ted is an idiot twice over. Once for getting his 15th booster shot today and gloating about it. And twice for claiming that Kiki is dead because she didn't get her boosters.
Who knows? Kiki might not be with us anymore, sad as that would be. But it certainly wasn't because she missed a booster.

I'm CERTAIN she got every single booster available to her so long as she was/is still breathing.
I don't know if she's still alive anymore.

In the alternate timeline where Biden wins, you don't hear about it anymore after spring of 2021.

Covid ‘miracle drug' that Donald Trump urged people to take killed 17,000
A Covid "miracle drug" that Donald Trump urged Americans to take has killed nearly 17,000 people, according to a new study.
In the beginning of the pandemic, scientists put their hopes in anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a means to treat the deadly virus.
One scientist even called the drug a "magic bullet" against Covid.
In April 2020, then President Trump advocated for Americans to take the drug and spoke of the "miracle" recovery made by a woman who took it.
Trump said in a Covid Taskforce briefing at the time: "The nice part is, it's been around for a long time...if things don't go as planned, it's not going to kill anybody."
