Rona 2.0

[Moveon]

I would venture to say the click it or ticket stuff is all about money. Sure a federal program about seatbelt safety, but also a **** ton of poor jurisdictions having a cheap and easy flow of funds. It is EASY to see someone without a seatbelt and issue seatbelt citation.

I can see seatbelt traps along the highways

They are all to help the insurance companies avoid having to pay out big monies to stupid people that ride bikes without helmets and who won't wear a seat belt and then end up going to the hospital with injuries that could have been avoided.

The thing is about seat belt and helmet laws if if they fail to wear a seat belt it won't harm me. And if they fail to wear a helmet it's no skin off my ass.

Now if they fail to get vaccinated, they end up taking up resources in massive numbers in the hospitals and the contaminate my groceries in the store when they fail to get vaccinated and don't wear a mask and then get infected and go shopping for groceries in my store.

I don't think that big government should tell people to wear a seat belt or to wear a helmet. But I do think that the government should force people to wear a mask when inside a public place for sure. Covid is a communicable disease that has already killed more than 840,000 Americans in the last two years. There is a huge difference when it comes to communicable diseases that kill thousands of people in just one country.

Ok so I am fully vaxxed, and some might remember last winter the Rona kicked me right in the face. Some of the long haul effects are still hanging around, brain fog for example I really struggle with people's names, life long friends associates, neighbors etc.
Also my lungs never recovered to the point where they were before I had covid but I'm still active.
A couple days before Christmas I had to cancel a duck hunt as I just felt like krap. You guessed it, I tested positive on Christmas eve.
It was mild and over in a few days.
Now, I don't have an agenda here , I promise you I couldn't give a pile if you get vaxxed or not, wear a mask don't wear a mask, stay inside or go to a UK basketball game...you do you I will do me.
But I am "cautious" (NOT SCARED) and I try to be "smart" with staying safe. I try to remain aware of the fact that I am a diabetic and the first round was a lot more trouble than I anticipated. I've lost 2 close family members to this stuff (they died FROM complications directly attributed to Covid). So I keep that on my mind as well.
And we all know by now the vaccine doesn't prevent you from contracting or spreading this virus.
Masks are better than nothing but they also are not 100% in preventing the spread.
I think the term "vaccine" is grossly misused in this realm.
The term "vaccine" leads one to believe they are now immune and can go about life as usual. This gives a false and dangerous sense of security.
Instead I tend to think of the Covid "vaccine" as a severity of symptom mitigation serum.
You might still contract whatever flavor of the month covid is going around but the "vaccine" may help lessen the damage it causes you. in turn helping you recover quicker.
These are just some thoughts from a covid "super veteran" lol.
You might agree, you might feel like you need to roll your eyes.
like I said before, I don't GAF what you think, you do you I will do me.

just lost a 70 year old schoolmate yesterday.
he was fully jabbed and still got the GOF virus.
he recovered from the virus and was doing ok when his heart quit.
he had no history of heart disease nor anyone in his family.
he wasn't overweight, didn't smoke, drink, or any other risky things.
he was physically active every day and very healthy.
the more i investigate, the less i trust our government and big pharma.
almost lost another friend to blood clots from the jab.
i will never let them experiment on my body with their unproven stuff.
good luck to everyone that already had the jab.

There definitely are risks and side effects, just like with every and ALL vaccines.

it will be interesting how the data shows for this........

And for the record, lots of 70 yr old people just "die". They are 70 years old.

Sorry about your friend .

Later,
