    Anyone watch OmicRon DeSantis’ speech today? Couldn’t catch his breath. It was uncomfortable to even watch if you’ve ever had asthma or breathing problems

    But that would have been obvious if he just disappeared for a week or two..

    It is known for some time now, that vaccine does not protect against spreading the virus. So, really, if you concerned, you should stay home as well.

    Your fear can't be the law.

    Let's say I am afraid of black people. They are violent and they are the ones that occupy most beds in jails because of that. So, for this reason, they should not enter the public space. Sounds good to you?

    I didn't think so:)

    I'm actually ok with that. As long as we allow hospitals to reject anybody who isn't vaccinated. Then the healthcare workers who didn't want to get vaccinated can take care of the unvaccinated covid patients.

    Yeah, works for me.

    If these last two guys in the white house would actually lead the world, instead of protecting big pharma money during this pandemic, we might not need to keep coming up with new rules now.

    That's great idea. Let's do hospitals for smokers with smoking doctors taking care of them. And so fat doctors taking care of fat people. It should be done 500 years ago. Instead people build more burger kings. How is that possible.

    Smokers and fat people aren't overburdening our hospitals. Unvaccinated people are overburdening our hospitals so that I have trouble getting my elective surgery that will extend my life. I vote no on your suggestion.

    We round in circles here, so let's just agree, that before the virus there were only generally healthy people in hospitals. Just for elective surgeries. And two with broken legs.

    Just found out a friend from highschool died of Covid on 1/3. We were really good friends back in the day, he even spent 6 months living with me in New Zealand for that chapter of my life. We had a falling out and hadnt talked in decades now. He was 43, had a wife and 3 kids. I sure didn't want him to die a horrible and preventable death though, I am kind of shocked over the news but it's hard to feel sorry for his stupid ass and of course he has a GoFundMe because his death is something his family was not prepared for. His poor kids.

    Sorry about your friend, @donkiez. Sad the children list their father to preventable illness.

    The vaccine does not protect against breakthrough cases spreading the virus, that's true. But since an unvaccinated person is 7 times more likely to catch it than a vaccinated one - the vaccine reduces the spread simply because there is a smaller amount of people to spread it, so - what you are saying is, again, wrong.

    Vaccines do reduce the spread because there is a smaller number of carriers to spread it.
