The Covid fear mongering and seeing people afraid of their own shadows is just frustrating.

OP is now into Russian sources. Completely fallen off the deep end over the vax. Sad.
Nah. I don't post one way or another about the vax nearly as much as you or Mothra. Nearly every post of y'all's is related to the vax.
I think it doesn't really prevent infection all that much. Based on evidence so far, it does greatly reduce hospitalization or death. I'm not for mandates. But I find the fear over the vaccine very strange. Just like soccer moms that spent time on Internet forums and convinced themselves that vaccinations cause autism. That used to be considered a silly group of people.
Conservatives used to rail against slow government regulation. Now some seem to be pissed the FDA was able to cut through some of that red tape.
I do know that I know a couple thousand people personally (school, church, work, etc). I know of several that have died of COVID. I know of only a few that haven't taken the vaccine (they tend to be vocal about it). I know of no one that has died or been seriously impaired by the vaccine.
*****? Really?
I call bull s h i t !!!! I know less than 24. And I have about 24 years on you. And I know LOT of folks!
Yes. P USSY!!!! That is my final answer.
You asked for an answer and we're nothing but insulting in return.
Find a church to attend tomorrow morning. You'll be thankful you did.
Once again, sorry for calling you the P word. That was uncalled for.
Serious question in return. What is exactly going on? Is there any chance you are wrong?
I'm not fearful of COVID in any way. I live my life regularly and have the entire time. Travel, movies, eating out, bowling, whatever. No fear over here.
If anything, I see a lot of fearmongering over a shot. And I find it very odd.
Except you guys live in Texas. So I don't really know what fearmongering you run into on a daily basis. I don't even know anyone that wears masks anymore. I see a lot more fearmongering from the few oddballs that haven't gotten the vaccine because they think it will kill them. It's all they talk about.
If you spend a lot of time watching cable news, you probably see an unhealthy dose of fearmongering. I suggest unplugging.
Make sure you get that booster! The mighty Omicron variant is lurking. THE HORRRRORRR!!!!!!!!
Might want to knock on wood. Over the past 2 years, it has been the 3rd leading cause of death (especially for 50 and over). You probably won't but it isn't that unlikely. That's not fearmongering just an observation.
Can you answer though? What exactly is happening? I want your true perspective. No jokes.

The numbers say otherwise, and it isn't really close. There are a lot of lies about the dangers of the vaccine, many spread by posters here. Many of those lies have put people in the ground around here. I walk past them almost daily.
So far, the omicron variant is not doing much except spreading.
