I used to own a Delta 88 convertible, I partied in that more than once. It was hard to drive down the road drinking with that car, the cops could see your can.

Respectfully, I am not in agreement that the vaccines are safer than covid. I know and see more people who are suffering from the vaccine (including a death) than covid.
But my main point is the hypocrisy of the government and elites and the fact, they really dont give a crap about us.
Sadly, Americans are killing themselves with unhealthy diets and general unhealthy lifestyles. Don't even need covid or experimental vaccines for that :/

Im going to be honest here: 3 years ago when it was measles that was surging, it would have been hard to find anyone I knew personally that wasn't sold on vaccines and their ability to keep people alive. 1 year ago when Pelosi was asked if she would get the vaccine, she said she wouldn't because Trump had come up with it (paraphrasing, more or less). She was roasted by the right for saying something so obviously stupid.
So the current environment just baffles me. That folks would deny the basic science of what is happening is odd. Yes, there are conspiracy theories...but the reality is that the vaccines have shown to be safer than COVID, and thats remarkably simple. Do I think folks should be forced? Absolutely not. But when COVID continues to evolve and becomes a more deadly seasonal disease that we have to deal wtih forever more, folks will have to accept that we (as a people) allowed it to grow out of hand and we did not stop it. This isn't criticism of anyone in particular, its a statement of fact.
But on the other side, that folks who ignored Pelosi in the past saying such stupid stuff would try to roast the right for not having confidence in the vaccine is equally absurd. A year ago they had their own conspiracy theory for why they wouldn't take a vaccine.
I've already accepted that humanity has killed itself, we are just waiting for the final human to die at this point.

I think you are looking at this wrong. In 1918 we didn't see the last of humanity die while digging the last grave, we saw the same thing we usually see in a pandemic. Folks get sick, some die, some don't. and those who don't, have immunity. heard immunity. And the virus eventually becomes a nothing sandwich.

If we're being honest, that's a way over-simplification concerning a medical treatment that hasn't been thoroughly tested per FDA standards and timelines AND is increasingly showing to be less effective than first believed (due to misleading claims) while also having increasing side effects that weren't originally known, understood, or even predicted. You and other sources just don't have all of the pieces of the puzzle yet to really know what you're looking at.
Making such a statement with so little properly understood about the vaccine is borderline dangerous, and that's what our elected officials and pay-to-play government medical folks and polarizing talking heads have been doing this whole time, from day one.
But this isn't absolutely proving to be the case from what I've read about the Delta and other variants, at least not at any major levels. This also isn't generally the case with variants of coronaviruses as a whole. They tend to get more contagious while symptom severity diminishes. Again, enough time hasn't elapsed to make an absolute determination either way, which makes this statement fairly hyperbolic.
And BTW, I'm sure you can go back and look if it's something that wouldn't bore you to death, but I was very outspoken about how unnecessary a rush to get an MMR vaccine was three years ago, given the low risks involved with the illness. I'm a big proponent of a healthy immune system, and if you got it, you should flaunt it, not subsidize it with needle pokes.
The Delta variant could just be another fictitious over-hype.

What I don't get is what are you so worried about if you're already vaccinated? Shouldn't you be immune to Covid now? Oh, that's right this is just gene therapy and doesn't work that way, but don't listen to me. You should just believe those big pharma reps out there looking to make billions by suckering everyone into taking their experimental "vaccine".

Or the flu? seeing how the Flu stats everywhere are showing zero cases of the original flu which makes it suspicious as the Delta symptoms seems to be very similar to the flu.
