The Covid cure has arrived!

CDC cannot mandate that students receive vaccines — that responsibility is left up to states and local jurisdictions.

True, but the CDC is a federal agency, and the federal government can withhold crucial funding for school districts if they don't comply.

I'll tell the wife that some bloke called Steve says her vaccine is rubbish and certain (unknown) people shouldn't take it. No evidence has been shown but I'm sure Steve is an expert.
Based on Steve's expert analysis, I'll pop along to the funeral director tomorrow and order my wife's coffin as Steve hints Mary will die.

I never said that nor have I claimed to be an expert. Are you an expert qualified to condemn others?
Do you even bother to undertake your own research before making derogatory accusations?

Serious complications of COVID-19 vaccines: A mini-review - PubMed

Τhe most promising approach of fighting COVID-19 and restraining the course of this pandemic is indisputably the universal vaccination of the population with safe and effective vaccines. However, besides the common and usually mild side effects of the authorized vaccines, some rare, major...

However, besides the common and usually mild side effects of the authorized vaccines, some rare, major adverse reactions are increasingly being reported worldwide during the post marketing surveillance phase of vaccines' circulation, such as anaphylaxis, vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, myopericarditis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. (Emphasis added.)

Of course I knew what Steve was saying, in fact i agree with Steve, i just thought it would be different to view it from outside the box and see what happens. If the Covid 'vaccine' was a true vaccine, my wife wouldn't have covid now but without the injections, she would be in hospital on a ventilator.

No answers Least of all, who is going to pay for all the COVID lies?

That one is easy...grab a mirror.

 

[moke123]

So many questions. No answers

The answers are out there Pat. Just not on Fox News.

I like George already!

My wife lives in a care home now - (she has multiple sclerosis). She is fully vaccinated against covid and has current boosters. Now, she has covid. Its like a bad bout of flu with severe sore throat. Within the home there are currently many cases, some sadly have passed, let's hope mary recovers although her immune system is affected by her MS.
Col

Wishing for a speedy recovery for your wife.

I've heard so many contradicting things I've been unsure what to believe. I read the letter from NIH to Congress from 10/20/2021 and it claims that the genetic material they were studying was genetically distant from covid 19 and couldn't have been the source of it. But they do seem to have been studying some type of gain of function.

I DO know that studying the origins of covid 19 definitely should be a huge priority - what kind of idiots would the world be to go through all of this misery and ignore the question of where it came from, or mostly ignore it, so that it can all happen again ?!!
And to think it's mostly the Republicans that are prioritizing such a question.

Why would Democrats not want to know? Isn't this the most obvious priority after such a thing happens, to prevent repeating??

And people wonder why Republicans vote Republican. They're the only ones left with [un]common sense.

 

[AccessBlaster]

And people wonder why Republicans vote Republican.

I wonder that too. Especially after looking at the last night's senate race, the whole state is red except for a few pockets of blue yet the outcome is predictable. When you run questionable candidates coupled with large population centers the outcome is not hard to predict.

The republicans in many ways have not evolved enough to compete in this arena.

The answer to that is simple. Too many people are still holding on to Trump, and he is dragging us down.
Herschel Walker's candidacy exists because of Trump. If there had never been Trump, Hershel wouldn't be our candidate, and we might have won.

When will everyone get the point - LEAVE TRUMP BEHIND so we can start winning something already.

 

[AccessBlaster]

The answer might be to support moderate democrats and try and slow the inevitable wave of leftwing ideology.

 

[Isaac]

Hmm, I'm surprised at you Pat. You really believe Trump could win in 2024, and you believe DeSantis couldn't?
Do you only believe DeSantis couldn't because of Trump siphoning votes as an independent (I see that possibility).

I feel strongly that Trump couldn't win anything ever again, and shouldn't run - and DeSantis could definitely win, if Trump wasn't an option so he'd get all conservative votes and he is a pretty persuasive speaker - I believe he could get independents too

 

[Isaac]

See I think this thread proves my point.
You think Trump has a good shot. I think Trump has an awful chance.

Thus you will support Trump, and I will support DeSantis et al.
I believe roughly 2/3 of republicans will not support trump, and 1/3 still do.

Divided, we lose.

Biden administration extends COVID-19 public health emergency yet again

The White House's Department of Health and Human Services extended the COVID-19 state of emergency yet again on Wednesday via an official declaration.

www.foxnews.com

Based on this extension, we can also expect the repayment of student loans to extended indefinitely.

In reading other comments, I was reminded of the movie "Wag the Dog". The Biden administration can be expected to either generate new crises and/or extend claimed crises as a means to continuing or imposing new oppressive government restrictions.

 

[Isaac]

We REALLY need DeSantis to remain as Governor of Florida so he can lead the way for other Republican Governors to show them what they have the power to do to get things back on track, ESPECIALLY what our children are being taught. the President can't dictate stuff like that but a Governor can. Trump is great at being the bull in the china shop. Let him take on the FBI and DOJ and Congress. Now, all we need is for other Governors to take up the fight now that DeSantis is leading the charge. Think about it. If DeSantis gives other Governors the gumption to fix the state run schools, at least we'll all have some institute of "higher" learning where we can send our children who haven't been educated by our k-12 schools

So when I read this kind of thing, I feel a lot of agreement in the theory of it. It all makes sense, but ...
I just think the "Trump wars" have gotten too high of a temperature (it pains me to use that dumb liberal term, sorry) and carry elevated risk compared to a new face, new voice.

While I consider the degradation of the USA (by which I loosely refer to citizens' attitudes on things like Fairness, Merit, Work, Role of Government,
Parents Rights, Rights of Accused, Free Speech, Censorship, and am only 10% thinking of the classical connotations of the term degradation), to be of almost supreme importance, I do wish to draw a line prior to people pulling triggers on real guns, someone becoming President who slyly changes enough rules to become a dictator-like party, civil war, larger-than-ever-seen Rioting, etc.

No matter how ill-advised, incorrect, misled, irrationally biased, TDS-infected 'that' 50% of the country's opinion IS, it still IS.
We very likely do not have the resources and time to correct it all. As much as we would love a magic button that, once pressed, instantly un-did every misleading news article, every out of context quote and story, and every falsehood.......resulting in each citizen's brain magically taking that into account and re-calibrating their view of Trump, there is no chance anything remotely like that will ever happen IMO. We are too busy slinging sandbags by the dike in order to hold back the flood....Too busy to do anything but that, for some time.

What I am saying is there are too many millions of US citizens who literally feel Trump getting re-elected would be akin to their life being threatened. The types of things that would be done by lobby groups, tech companies, I.T. hosting services, attorneys general, prosecutors, etc., in order to prevent his reelection are in the category of stuff people will do if they feel their very life is threatened - things we have never seen before, things there is no going back from, things we need to avoid.

I believe Trump, no matter how unfairly, is too explosive. His reelection (or the prospect thereof) would trigger adversarial tactics the like of which we have never seen before and do not wish to ever see and may be worse than 8 years of Biden.

I wish we could go back in time and correct the situation, but I think the best we can do is put forward a winnable candidate who they don't feel justified in treating like Satan himself.

I agree we need DeSantis in Florida very bad, but someone great may step into his role.
Or someone great may run for Prez in 2024.
I really don't mind which one.

IMO Mike Pompeo would be a great president.

Breaking news from the Babylon Bee.

Ironically, there is a significant degree of truth to this article. The US government did fund the research (at least in part). I have already heard sarcastic allegations that a new Covid strain will magically appear as the next election approaches. The prior Covid pandemic was a blessing for the Democrats; so they may well repeat their very successful Covid strategy (as one approach) to win the 2024 election.

Biden Urges U.S. Government To Fund Vaccine For Virus U.S. Government Funded

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With another devastating wave of COVID-19 scheduled to arrive just in time for the upcoming election year, President Joe Biden has urgently asked the U.S. government to provide funding for a new vaccine for the virus the U.S. government funded.

my coworker got the COVID the other day so she's out for a week. a new strain is definitely here!

 

[Cotswold]

If you have a cold, or what is referred to as the common cold you will test positive for Covid.
Since 2020 the common cold has totally disappeared and flue is becoming a rarity. In 2020-2021 there were so few cases of flue because of the craze for Covid that you'd think it had dissapeared.

The most startling result of Corona Virus was that by March 2020 every country had draconian legislation in place for total and absolute control. It also became standard practice to sack doctors or health workers who asked questions and didn't sing from the government's song book. Maybe still is happening to this day. An diktat with the same level of stupidity as the army shooting deserters over 100 years ago in WWI. I could never understand and still cannot understand how an unvaccinated person was a threat to someone vaccinated. If anyone was at risk it would surely be the unvaccinated or the unprotected?

The Covid fiasco gave power to the elbow and training to the woke, trans, stop-oil and other puritanical type control fanatics.

The new variant is called BS.24.7

Is that British Standard 24.7 with the BS kitemark?
