    I'm glad I got it too. It's supposed to help reverse some of the long haul damage. Besides boost your immunity. Cuz i definitely don't want it again.

    They just don't want to pay the Fed Highway Tax due Aug. 31,,,you know, history has shown, it's one catastrophe after the next. There have been and always will be those that, for whatever reason, just refuse to be "part of the team", like Owner Operators, ( oooh, I know, that was a low blow) but in a situation like this, we really need to pull together, as a team. Now, I read today, a THIRD variant was discovered in Africa,,, so this isn't over. Oh, btw, next time you go to the dentist, might want to pass on the Novocaine shot too, see how THAT works for you,,

    I trust that comment was in jest. If not, it has to be one of the most ignorant statements I've heard in a long time. Last time I checked, no one has died or has had a severe life altering reaction to a novacaine shot. Sheesh.

    Yeah, I was kidding, novocaine is generally safe, I read, 1 in 5,000 have an adverse reaction to it, but just to show how foolish I think this refusal stuff is. I think the adverse reactions to the virus shot are minimal, compared to the people that have actually died from it. Hey, you people do what you want, I got the shot, so I didn't have to worry everytime I touched a door handle, and these claimed adverse reactions to the shot, are nothing more than peoples half assed attempt to bolster THEIR ideas about their insecurities about the virus shot. I know I'm okay, for the most part, and you people want to wake up everyday wondering if you have the virus, by all means, go right ahead. Oh, another thing, the tire guy that died from the virus? He was a long time opponent of the shot, dealt with the public everyday,,got the virus and died,,the family had a private burial,( perhaps because of the virus) and nothing was said in our paper about it. Sounds like remorse and embarrassment, if you ask me. And a simple shot would have prevented this,,,how stupid are you people? I give up,,,,and I'm sure this thread is almost history anyway, sorry I derailed it.

    Sorry, HR, but you can go to the CDCs own VAERS website and see the reported adverse reactions from the jab. I say reported because there's no requirement that hospitals, doctors or individuals report reactions. Regardless, over 5,800 deaths and 1,000s of adverse reactions.

    When the government tried to quickly develop a vaccine for the Swine Flu, something like 25 people died during the test phase and the Vax was pulled. Something to at least think about.

    BTW, I'm very glad to hear you were kidding about novacaine. You've never appeared to me to be a crazy person.

    What's your point, sir? I wasn't providing an opinion, I was stating fact.

    You and everyone keep saying if someone doesn’t want the shot that’s their choice, but almost daily you’re posting about how people should get the shot. So which one is it?

    I don’t get nervous every time I touch a door handle. And I don’t wake up every day wondering if I have the China cold. I trust that my immune system works and I go on about my day. Not once have I locked myself in my house scared to go outside. I did park my truck for about 7 weeks last year but I didn’t stay home. I took advantage of everyone else being scared and I traveled and got to see many beautiful places with minimal crowds.

    And your statement about “a shot could’ve prevented this” is pretty ignorant too. Vaccinated people die from Covid also and you know that.
