    Your pee has poison in it and should not be drunk.

    That's why you take a swig every morning, build up a tolerance.

    Coronavirus is one of the common colds. So catching a cold it can be like a mildly effective vaccine if that varient is similar enough to the strain of covid-19 you're exposed to.

    There is a military vaccine in trials now that would protect against infection for all varients of covid-19, as well as many common colds.

    It makes sense in that the common cold triggers an immune response I guess. A vaccine for the common cold would be cool but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that.

    Ed Yong Says Omicron Is Straining Hospitals & Schools Amid Vaccine Mandate Pushback.



    Biden wants to keep schools open during this Omicron wave. Doesn't seem like a smart move to me.

    Of course there are multiple viruses which cause the common cold, but in creating a vaccine for all varients of covid-19 we're likely to also protect against many (but not all) varients of the common cold.

    It's amazing that people continue to think that natural immunity is permanent and just as effective against new variants but vaccines are not.

    COVID Natural Immunity: What You Need to Know
    New studies show that natural immunity to the coronavirus weakens (wanes) over time, and does so faster than immunity provided by COVID-19 vaccination.
    • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report on Oct. 29, 2021, that says getting vaccinated for the coronavirus when you’ve already had COVID-19 significantly enhances your immune protection and further reduces your risk of reinfection.
    • A study published in August 2021 indicates that if you had COVID-19 before and are not vaccinated, your risk of getting re-infected is more than two times higher than for those who got vaccinated after having COVID-19.
    • Another study published on Nov. 5, 2021, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) looked at adults hospitalized for COVID-like sickness between January and September 2021. This study found that the chances of these adults testing positive for COVID-19 were 5.49 times higher in unvaccinated people who had COVID-19 in the past than they were for those who had been vaccinated for COVID and had not had an infection before.
    • A study from the CDC in September 2021 showed that roughly one-third of those with COVID-19 cases in the study had no apparent natural immunity

    Lol despite a vast majority of data saying the most beds being taken up are by unvaccinated. It's just... How do people not know basic things about this pandemic at this point? Lol.

    Covid denier Ron Johnson, who after saying he would only serve two terms in the Senate is running for a third, declared if Republicans get the Senate majority they will demand Dr. Fauci appear for Benghazi style hearings.

    No platform, no ideas on controlling pandemic or helping health workers, just vengeance.

    It's because at this point that's all they have left. They are eating themselves at this point and it's a matter of time before they are all gone. They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar (Trump) and they won't recover. It's just a matter of time. They went too far.

    You would think so, but there's a lot of stupid people out that and they have power.
    Here's a thought. When Trump loses the election in 2024 and his state legislators reverse it with the big lie, how about if Biden just refuses to step down?

    It's gonna be a slow process but it's deteriorating. It's just a matter of time.

    They aren't going to try to reverse anything again. Their last hope is to get in 2022 with majority to disband the J6 committee (part of the reason they are trying all the voting suppression). They most likely won't get majority and they'll be it. Then accountability begins.

    This J6 stuff is going slow but it is going to plan. We are just an impatient society now.

    The Jan 6th commision is targeting summer to finish compiling all evidence and testimony and let the public know what they've found. After that the dogs will be off leash and come out barking.

    isnt this what the dems did against Trump?

    No plan. Just vote someone else in, iut of hatred?

    now some may spin this as some trump support, let those people get dizzy.
    Im simply saying it sure is hypocritical to claim no plan and vengeance when that ls exactly waht the left just did.

    Anyone but Trump!!! No plan but get trump out!

    But im gonna keep shit real around here….

    seems to be the same people over and over who dont…

    I fear this is what the Germans thought when Hitler came along.
