    They think we're all stupid and most of the country is proving them right and always does. All those companies making these worthless "vaccines" are getting lots of that non existent gov monopoly and reinvesting it before it's obsolete.

    I’m not there. And I’m not gonna go by just tidbits of news. I don’t know how bad it may be there.

    It’s possible it may get bad.

    Yeah but there were booster shots every 7-8 years for something, I just can't remember what. My kids had to get them too.

    We never really considered it a big deal since everybody our age had them. I also remember the TB test. They would draw a circle on your arm with a pen with rabbit ears and a face, then somehow they would sneak in a circular group of needles right on the rabbit face. There must have been some distraught kids having the nurse kill the cute little rabbit they just drew on their arm.

    When I was a kid I was always getting bitten by some kind of wild animal I picked up, usually a snake. At first I'd tell my parents and they would call the family doctor and he'd come over and give me a tetanus shot. I finally wised up and stopped telling my parents when something bit me, that is until I got bit by a copperhead. Had to get the anti-venom shot for that one. My arm still swelled up twice its size and turned black and blue.

    French truck drivers have a history of bringing France and many other European countries to their knees with general strikes. The main difference over there is, they don't simply stop working, they block the highways with their trucks. If Australian drivers planned properly, a relatively small number of drivers could blockade the main highways of a large city like Melbourne to get the government's attention. Of course a small group of drivers would be arrested and their trucks towed, but if you had replacements that came out to set up a new blockade, they could shut down all commerce in a very large city. The same tactic would work here in the states.

    A friend has been diagnosed with covid pneumonia..she is resting at home..but..she got the covid shots in March. She claims she would have probably died.if she had not gotten the shot..the thing is we dont know that..there were plenty of people who got covid prior to getting the vaccine that had mild symptoms.. including me. I got a co worker whose wife came down with covid...pretty severe. Shem have to go on disability..lung damage..he didn't get it at all and tested negative for antibodies and his son had mild symptoms. This is all an individual decision

    "Employment in the United States is generally ‘at will,’ which means that your employer can set working conditions,” says Dorit Reiss, a law professor at the University of California, Hastings, who specializes in legal and policy issues related to vaccines. “Certainly, employers can set health and safety work conditions, with a few limits."




    “If a vaccine is administered to an employee by an employer for protection against contracting COVID-19, the employer is not seeking information about an individual’s impairments or current health status and, therefore, it is not a medical examination,” the EEOC says. The U.S. Department of Justice also has determined that it considers employer vaccine mandates to be legally permissible.
