Between Christmas and New Years I went to a nighttime bowling tournament. Had to walk several hundred yards in the rain, wind and cold to get to the bowling alley from where we had to park. After bowling a 5 game tournament had to walk back to the car after somewhat warm and sweaty. Next morning woke up with a slight sore throat, small cough and a stuffy head. Did I get covid or just a cold, I dont know. Did I get tested, no. Sore throat was gone in 12 hours, stuffy head and cough lasted 3 days. I didnt want to become a statistic by being tested for what I think was just a cold. If it was the virus, it is no big deal if thats as bad as it gets. I have had both shots but not the booster. I see where one of our highly respected and admired Democratic leaders (yuk) has the virus and she has all three shots. Im not going to mention any names in fear of being murdered in my sleep.

Yep, that's why I got the shots and booster. So when I get covid, the damage will be minimal and in hopes that I won't be hospitalized by it.

Sir, you don't seem to know the difference between murder and voluntary suicide.

I repair medical equipment in hospitals. Got this e mail today from Reptrax which is a credentialing company hospitals use for vendors.
"On January 13, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) mandatory COVID-19 vaccination rule that was issued on November 5, 2021. The COVID-19 vaccination mandate now applies to hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers in all 50 states.
The federal mandate requires all eligible staff working at any healthcare facility that participates in the Medicare and Medicaid program, regardless of clinical responsibility or patient contact, to complete a primary vaccination series against COVID-19 or receive a medical or sincerely held religious belief exemption. This requirement applies to all facility employees, licensed practitioners, students, trainees, volunteers, contractors, vendors, and any other individuals who provide care, treatment, or other services for the facility or its patients under any arrangement.
Under the CMS rule, by January 27, 2022 our facility must maintain documentation of vaccination or exemption status for all individuals providing services in our facility.
Any of your employees or representatives for whom you have not provided documentation of either COVID-19 vaccination or a medical or religious exemption by January 27, 2022, will be prohibited from returning to the facility until evidence of vaccination or exemption is provided.
I appreciate your cooperation and thank you in advance for your assistance. "

False. This is mentioned all the time.
How so? I have seen a few health organizations that show even numbers of hospitalizations. But the front line workers and doctor that I have talked to from hospitals in this area are saying that most of their admissions are non vaccinated.

How so what? He stated that it's rarely mentioned that you can get covid despite being vaccinated. That's false. It's a fact that has been widely known for a long time now. It's also been widely reported for a long time that the vaccine reduced symptoms. The rest of your post does not refute those facts in any way (or even address them, really).
So many are saying this is a bio weapon created in a lab by Fauci. Rand Paul
And ya'll have taken an injection Fauci is proponent of?
That's real bright.

One of the main issues is the inaccuracy of the tests. Now that they are making hundreds of millions of the tests why would Americans believe there aren't a certain % that are either in error or worse yet, already set to show Positive to keep the narrative going. We got Covid a couple weeks back. Minor but noticeable symptoms lasted about three days. No vaccinations. We did go get tested, which was actually stupid IMO and of course they showed positive. Talking to the nurse she said at that clinic they were getting about 70% positives on the vaxxed and 45-50% on unvaxxed. She also had an interesting point of view. A LOT of the people getting tested come every two weeks hoping to get another positive so they can continue to get unemployment and other benefits "being a Covid patient". I just hope this goes down in history as one of the worst managed scams ever. Killed a lot of good people and so much misinformation it is incredible. Pray we all survive and the regular flu doesn't get us.
Stay well racing friends, we all have win lights to turn on ;-)

I came across this article yesterday that says you can test positive for up to 12 weeks.
The next Variant will be Anothercon. The administration is really working this B.S. . A real shame!

There were two parts to the statement that you referred to as False. Is the second part not false?

Take 3 months of work off for a cold.
YUP, that's what they say this week. I'm a recovered unvaccinated covid getter and I was just told by my administration I do not have to take my twice weekly covid test for the next 3 months

Here it is folks, in perpetuity. At 12 second, "a single annual booster shot"
Just opened a letter from the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) heavily pushing booster shots. "Now is the time to take the next step toward added protection through booster shots - don't wait" (in bold print). Medicare covers a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot at no cost to you" (bold). "Boosters help control COVID-19 and protect you against variants" (again in bold print). "We know more than ever about how to fight this virus effectively". Etc., etc.

Seems like a sales pitch for a car about to go out of style.
