    I’ll never get another booster. We broke out with hives for weeks after we took our booster. It was bad. Itchy, swollen skin. I don’t know if Walgreen’s improperly stored the stuff or what.

    My life revolves around people who back up what they they claim to be true, otherwise it's just gossip. I've never thought of you as a gossip.

    Who the hell knows what's "credible" these days. The narrative changes constantly. Even amongst conspiracy theorists like myself

    Try to find something you think is credible. Go to a source that has won previous accolades for good journalism such as Pulitzer prizes or Peabody awards or the like. If you don't know how or why to do this then we have found our problem.

    I read it. I also looked at other articles from actual sources. Did you look at my link or any other article on the matter before you posted it?

    Boston University experimented with different variants of the virus, to gain a better understanding on why the Omicron variant was less deadly and what part of the virus causes it to be deadly. They didn't create a new virus that is 80% more deadly. That is misinformation and fear mongering.

    They combined two strains to a hybrid and tested it on mice. 80% died.

    The NIH didn't even know about this study and are investigating because of the buzz it got online

    Doesn't mean it's 80 percent more deadly.

    It's not a new variant. It killed 80% of mice tested which don't have the same immune systems as humans and doesn't mean it will kill 80% of humans. It's being made into something it's not.

    I asked where I said it was 80% deadlier and you misdirected. Talk about trying to distort what was posted, sheesh.

    And it was a hybrid of various strains, so it never existed before, hence....new.

    That was where people in the comments of that tweet and other similar articles I looked at after reading yours were going with it.

    It's leading people to be afraid of what they are doing when they are working to find better vaccines and answers to how Covid makes people sick so they can stop it. We need that. We don't need fearmongering.

    So... you are using comments from randoms in a tweet and other articles you read "in your own research" and asking me to defend them while lambasting me for fear mongering?

    Seems legit.
