    I saw on the news a few minutes ago that the "experts" are saying they need 70% of the population to be vaccinated for it to work.
    I don't think they have a clue on how much pushback they are going to be getting on this.

    Some info here:

    RNA vaccines: an introduction

    I noticed this little snippet:

    Unintended effects: the mRNA strand in the vaccine may elicit an unintended immune reaction. To minimise this the mRNA vaccine sequences are designed to mimic those produced by mammalian cells.

    That's exactly where I'm at. I'm out the minute they try to force it on me.

    Or maybe they do and they have contingency plans in the works.

    We were told by our leader that they will not enforce mandatory vaccinations and are actually striking the clause allowing them to enforce it out of the law.

    Yep, a virus that's 99% survivable, 85% of those who get it wear a mask and a large number don't know they have it. Sounds dangerous, we should lock the country down again.
    One more thing, if you get the Wu flu and take hydroxychloroquine right at the beginning, your chances of getting over it quickly go way up. The problem? It costs about $25 for the hydroxy and zinc pack that has been proven to be safe for over 50 years for the majority of folks as opposed to the thousands of dollars for the new stuff that can kill ya.

    Yep, close down the country, we're all gonna die.
     
    PacoTaco Thanks this.
