I’m really surprised it took us over a year to prove this. A few months in we could see it was be spread by air just based on people who were infected.
I will say I only used hand sanitizer like 3 times this entire pandemic, and all 3 were when we were wine touring and the places hit you with the shit before they let you in the door.
Getting people to be semi-sanitary is the only good that has come of this.
We kind of knew about this but just to put it out there again.
And 4th, and 5th, and 6th…
I’m done, I took two shots and I’m not doing a constant booster, sorry not happening.
The flu shot is yearly, I didn’t expect this to be much different.
Volunteer yearly, no passports for the flu 
I honestly didn’t expect it to be different either but it’s very much different than the flu shot as far as policy and oversight.
I get my flu shot every year because it’s convenient and they do it at work literally at a desk as we walk in. But if it wasn’t as convenient I would probably just skip it.
Now if it turns into a yearly vaccination and they offer it just like my flu shot, awesome. But I’m not going to continue to take time off of work and go out of my way to get boosters. If they do in fact roll out “passports” like I actually expect them to, they can fuck right off. I’ll be eligible…awesome, but I don’t need my elected officials herding me into a controlled group of individuals. Just leave me the fuck alone and let me make my own choices.
Everyday I think more and more that Thanos had it right…
I expect by next year’s flu season you’ll be able to get a covid shot just the same as you do the flu shot. Walk into to the drug store, shot, walk out. Or in my case I usually get it from my primary during my yearly physical.
Even right now it’s almost that easy. My wife and I got ours on our lunch break at Grider. Appointments at 12:15 and 12:30, but when we got there at 12 they let us right in. By 12:15 we were in the post shot waiting area and we just sat there playing on our phones for 15 minutes. 12:30 back in the car. A lot of people don’t bother with that 15 minute observation period so we honestly could have been in and out in 15 minutes.
Excellent Bill Maher:
Wonder when the media will let this one out of the bag.
"Conclusion
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health."
I don’t see where this has anything to do with Stanford. If you go to the journal itself and search “Stanford” the text is not found.
Second, it was published as a hypothesis, which is far different than a peer reviewed medical journal. Here are the guidelines for publishing a “Medical hypothesis”

This breaks it down well

Just spent the weekend in Ft. Lauderdale. Life is 100% normal down there, I wouldn’t have gone without a vaccine. I had a blast. Getting a rapid test in a few days.
Coworker’s college age daughter just got the Rona at college in PA. He’s now quarantined because he saw her for an hour this weekend. Said it was hitting her pretty hard yesterday but her fever was gone today. He has zero symptoms today but that would be expected after just being exposed Sunday. Neither of them were vaccinated.
Oh, and the Nuget believes Rona is real now. I had to laugh at this one.

How are things from a reasonable person’s perspective, because your media is in full on terror mode right now.
it’s a full-on calamity up here.
if you go in to a wal-mart you cannot go into any aisles for non-essential items. they are taped off.
no in-door dining and no patios.
police check-points at the major provincial boundaries
largest protest movements we’ve ever had up here with just a couple politicians leading that charge.
full cnesorship mode so that fewer and fewer people notice what is really going on. i could not even find videos for you i dont think…
that one was large and in front of my family’s restaurant a couple weeks ago.
Damn dude, take care. What’s going on with vaccines up there? Everyone 16 and older is eligible here now and a lot of places don’t even require an appointment anymore. Just walk in, get your jab, walk out. Everything I’ve read says vax rates are the big difference between the areas that are getting hit hard by these variants and the areas that are doing fine.
Israel made a great case study because they did an amazing job getting people vaccinated.
Student of mine (17yr old) got covid for the second time in 9 months. First round was mild but not unlike a cold/flu he said. This time he just tested positive and has no symptoms outside of a stuffy nose.
they just opened up vaccination to the 40+ crowd and continue to socially engineer consent through state-media (CBC).
this is the playbook being used on us:
