Now some people out there believe that was the intent in the first place or will be the as the World overpopulates and our higher ups like Bill Gates sees the need for us to be thinned out.

If I'm going out, it's on my terms and not by injecting some experimental, non FDA approved, no clinical tested government mandated ejaculate that is not the long term solution, we are now being told,

or short term since injaculated people are still being reinfected by the first strain.



Article that needs a picture of Homer Simpson doing his catchphrase "DOH!"

Severe side effects happening and incidental deaths adding up from a "vaccine" and asbestos deaths inbound now...back to the drawing board.



Also suicides went from 800k a year in 2019 and almost doubled to 1.53 million in 2020. To blame Covid 19 on those extra 700k deaths or not....
Yeah with the amount of people I come in contact with on a daily basis as a pilot.. I'm pretty sure I had it and got over it before they even knew it was in the U.S.. but that's the thing it isn't a risk for me. My parents already got it and got the vaccine too so I just don't feel the need to chance the vaccine. Maybe herd immunity is an argument, or maybe herd immunity is why I shouldn't... IDK.

I think you are confusing communism and fascism. Which one of these sounds more like the FAA?

Quote:
Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
Quote:
Communism, political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society.

For personal reasons, I get it. But Stalin was way eviler than Hitler. Actually I saw a great comedy routine about that recently... wish I could remember who it was he looked like Cipher from the Matrix.

Some people will miss an opportunity to get the Moderna or Pfizer one and have to settle for a vaccine that is less effective because they also waited or couldn’t get it, but at least the high risk groups got the good vaccines. If we don’t get to herd immunity then we will have yearly vaccines for high risk groups and elective people indefinitely most likely. Without herd immunity, we will likely see seasonal spikes at least. We might see them anyways if this is like the flu, but there might be reasons to believe it is not like the flu, and it could be dealt with if we all got vaccinated.
Answer me this...barring the assumptions of inevitable mass deaths, could the human species achieve herd immunity without any intervention; ie. lockdowns, social distancing, vaccinations, etc.?

That’s what I told my football coach in high school when he asked us all to try hard. It didn’t go over well.

It is the opposite usually.

Sweden had a bad effect, and they had a response, so the use of Sweden as an example of having no response or an open policy is overplayed.

Well, we are obviously on opposite sides of this and I know better than to try to convince you otherwise. On to other things.
