    That’s funny,@mustang190. I sent it an old friend. He got Lukemia 14 yrs ago, from water poisoning in Boot Camp, in the 80s, the crazy amount of meds eventually damaged his kidneys and heart. 2 yrs ago, he had a stroke. He’s one tough Marine. Little Guy too. Always been a Fighter. Had to be. Still is.

    Whats amazing is you science thumpers push science around as if it's the only answer to everything, yet fail to see your own flaws in the said science you're pushing.....theres no actual science behind the masks, the social distancing or the vaccines....none of them stop anything, they just make you feel in control....but its actually designed to take control from you but presented as " protecting your fellow citizens, its patriotic" blah blah.....forget the fact CNN admitted to everything being purposeful lies to stir up people into a frenzy....just to boost their ratings ...

    If Covid was Polio the reaction would be different. Covid ain't polio, not by a long shot. Covid (Coronavirus) is a serious cold. That's why some people are not interested in being a guinea pig for this new Cold vaccine. Sometimes the medicine is perhaps worse than the disease. Ive had the Covid and the majority of the people I know have had it. It wasn't a lot of fun, but it also wasn't the end of the world. Diseases, Virus and the like will come and go. Some may be interested in jamming every vaccine that BigPharma can get on the market into their body, and finding a way to live their life in a hermetically sealed bubble, lest they risk getting sick. Others will pay no attention to that and in addition won't be alarmed as their child plays with bugs and dirt and then eats without washing their hands. Different strokes.

    The same people that mandate helmets on bicycles see a fresh opportunity to apply the jack boot here.

    Not to mention the fact 'Covid Hysteria' is a multi billion dollar industry. This has been an absolute financial boon for many. So it probably won't be long till the next big crisis!

    In the mean time they're getting closer to the shut down. Does anybody really believe it will actually happen? Will there actually be a complete and total shut down or just a few isolated pockets of demonstrators who wind up accomplishing nothing but irritating the rest of the population?
    Judging by the trucker shutdowns I've seen here in America I have my doubts it will do any good.

    And, I don’t remember ever getting a booster for smallpox or polio?

    For the sake of supporting human rights, I hope they cripple the country.

    IMO this debate was never pro vs anti vax, its always been about having the basic human right to choose what we do with our body.

    You probably are right based on history, but I’m holding out hope that they actually follow through. In my opinion it would be a beautiful thing. It really needs to happen. If the common every day person doesn’t find a way to send a message to the government, that they need to relinquish some of their stranglehold on people, then it’s going to be too late.

    I'd like to see it happen too. More than that, I'd like to see it happen right here at home. But...I've been involved in trucking since the late 60s and other than a few Teamster strikes I've never seen a shutdown that succeeded, let alone accomplished it's goal.
    I'll stay optimistic though.

    Keep in mind in crown nations the people are the subjects of the crown. They do not have the liberties we have ( that many unfortunately are all to willing to relinquish).

    Perhaps the people in the know are aware of the difficulty of controlling a virus that was engineered to be resistant by way of gain of function.
