looks like omicron is slowing going away
traveling to new york city tomorrow, and on monday (3-7) nyc removed the mask and card restrictions
the airports / airlines are going to review their restrictions on march 18
a friend of my wife was traveling from canada to atlanta for a trade show
and she was random tested at the border for covid and came back positive
so she had to go back home
i have been wearing a mask out recently because i have scheduled surgery coming up in a couple weeks
I stopped the mask requirement in my biz . Our county’s hospitalization and death rates have reached levels of ‘acceptability’ ; and this is not a vaccinated county. Most of us have had covid at least once. I have had both delta and omicron. My antibodies test high now and I have been advised by doc not to get any shots or take any anti viral pills as more spike proteins can cause allergic reactions.
This is not a one size fits all situation.
And since we are discussing size, part of the reason the United States has so many serious Covid cases is because we also lead the world in morbid obesity rates. Inflammation is a constant issue in this group of folks. Inflammation is how Covid lives its best life. The shots do not work that well among the already inflamed or morbidly obese.
Do your own research in this area. I’m just presenting another side to this issue. Two young men ( mid twenties) in our town wound up in the hospital immediately after the shot. The diagnose was fluid around the heart. This is supposedly a rare reaction and a risk pharmaceutical companies and lawmakers are willing to take. Many are not willing to take that risk. There are rational reasons to get vaccinated and not to get vaccinated. Do your own research. lol
The end and they all lived happily ever after.

The FDA has given FULL APPROVAL of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
So enough with the kook conspiracy theories folks, GET YOUR DAMN SHOTS ALREADY!!!!!
This hasn't aged well. Here's an idea, you do for yourself whatever you think is medically necessary anf I'll do me. Fuq your so called vaccination. We are starting to see issues with them that many predicted might happen.
Oh yeah, why in the hell would you trust the FDA, the CDC, WHO or any other government agency for that matter.

Hospitalization is what is dragging everything back to lockdown era decisions. Which is why vaccines are important because they essentially keep you from going to hospital and dying which keeps hospitals from overcrowding which keeps public health officials from making unpopular recommendations re: crowd size, masks, etc. It's not really that complicated. In a vacuum it'd be easy to say this: you want to be unvaccinated (and you're eligible and healthy enough for the shot) then by all means go for it BUT if you get sick you are not allowed a hospital bed. Obviously, that wouldn't happen and thankfully so because we live in a society but that would nip a lot of these hospitalizations in the bud. I'm a lawyer not an MD so JMO.
So it appears the plandemic has robbed you of your humanity. What a disgusting take. Go eat a dik.

I disagree with that sentiment...
Everyone deserves help is needed. But I do feel that insurance companies should charge a premium for people who aren't vaccinated...Just like cigarettes.
You smoke\unvaccinated your rates are much higher. Because your risk of incurring higher health bills are higher.
For sure, just to be clear, I wasn't advocating for that position just an extreme example of how hospitalizations could be drastically decreased in a total nonreality situation. Everybody (vaccinated or not) should be afforded quality healthcare. Once J&J gets FDA approval too I do wonder if some insurance companies will start dinging you for not having it.
You were absolutely advocating for it, if only tacitly.

Well sure, but then you have to include all the others.
People overweight are more effected than those who are not, vaccinated or not. Let's raise their premiums.
People who drink are a health risk, so anyone who has more than the equivalent of 2 beers a week should have their premiums raised.
People who eat processed foods should have their premiums raised.
so on and on and on and on... where does it stop?
It doesn't, it keeps getting worse and worse until all our individual liberties and freedoms to choose have been destroyed.

I'm with you. And, there are a dozen reasons why I'm not going to get it.
That said, the FEAR of Covid has been a real eye-opener to me. It's shocking how panicked and irrational people are. The majority of the population is frigtheningly easy to control.

I'm not stirring the pot or anything like that, but the COVID-19 vaccines do not alter your DNA. The mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are neither viruses, nor gene therapy and they won’t change your DNA.

I have spoken to many many nurses who come thru on vacation from different lands. Some are being made to get third booster even though they’ve had the virus twice, even though they've already had three shots in the arm. They and their colleagues are getting sick from the boosters.
Idiots who decide this should be testing antibodies and not making people take shots that sicken them.
How hard is it to do an antibody test ? Or is that information that pharmaceutical companies don’t want people to know and/or use to avoid mandatory booster shots.
