    So, if you don’t get the vax, don’t go to hospital if you really get sick. This rule isn’t obligatory in a legal sense. It’s a moral one

    The one thing we know about the bio-weapon is that we don’t know much about it. However, at this stage, the vax, while it was supposed to prevent getting Covid (it doesn’t) there is at least some comfort you’re not going to get really, really ill. The stats so far present that’s case only because the vax introduces the body to this new illness and we develop some immunity even to the variant.

    **********************

    Have you watched the interview with Dr. Zelenko above? He doesn’t agree with you, and he’s not the only one. Dr. Bhakdi and Dr. Ryan Cole don’t agree with you either. What they all say in various ways that the vaccines prime the immune system so that it overreacts when exposed to any other virus and attacks your own body. That’s if they don’t cause an autoimmune disease in the first place.

    The procedure for the dick booster shot is that for the nanoparticles to have maximum effectiveness the injection site needs to be below 22C.
    Here is what those who have already had the first two shots need to do:
    1, Ring your GP and make an appointment for the booster.
    2. Ice your dick for 30 minutes before the appointment.
    3. On entering the Doctors office ensure the nurse examines your penis for temperature and flaccidity.

    This Chinese bio-weapon has officially caused millions of deaths

    No more than a normal flu year.

    ……………………………………………………..
    possibly close to US$30 trillion in lost global production and untold mental illness particularly for the young.
    ……………………………………………………..
    No, the government caused that, not the virus.

    ……………………………………………………………………..
    If there was ever a case to get a vax it would be now.
    ………………………………………………………………………….
    Now we know how many deaths and hundreds of thousands of hospitalisations the jab itself is concerned, that’s completely insane.

    ……………………………………………………………………………

    Now, as a libertarian I fully accept that you don’t want to get the vax, that’s your fucking business. However, when you eventually end up getting the Chinese bio weapon virus, do us a fucking favor at the very least. If you end up getting very ill – stay fucking home and don’t clog up the medical system. That also applies to redneck endorsees too.

    …………………………………………………………………………….
    There are now thousands more hospitalised from taking the jab than those dying “WITH’ covid who are really dying of cancer, heart disease , being 109 years of age…..

    ………………………………………………………………………………
    From what we now know, you’ll soon be the one needing hospitalisation JC.
    And it was self inflicted.

    We know so much about the Kung Flu it is remarkable that you’d posit this.

    Otherwise, where is our knowledge lacking?

    Boomers and fatties should get vaccinated if they aren’t excluded by pre existing conditions and don’t have ethical concerns.

    I don’t believe that “science changes”. The truth never changes.

    Sure, we don’t think ulcers are caused by stress anymore.

    …but contradicting yourself the way ‘Elf authorities have over COVID is quite peculiar.

    No masks to wear a mask to wear multiple masks – these people are insane, don’t know half as much as they pretend to and are megalomaniacs.

    There are larger arguments being made through the COVID debacle.

    *Some people would vaccinate everyone in their utopia.
    *Anything connected to Trump is bad.
    *We can’t have the plebs questioning *the science* and the deep state.
    *Let’s not admit we did not know what we were doing to begin with.
    *Let’s cover for those eye popping, wildly inaccurate COVID catastrophe forecasts.

    JC, quite seriously, look at the Dr. Zelenko interview. He has advise on how to avoid trouble if you’ve had the jab.

    https://rumble.com/vl4u7t-dr.-zev-zelenko-slays-globalists-exposes-global-genocidal-event.html

    The other interview linked here today, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich with Dr. Bryan Ardis (I can’t link more than one at a time) posits that the protocols mandated for use in U.S. public hospitals were what caused most of the originals deaths there. They did (just like now) leave people at home untreated until they were sick enough to go to hospital and then treated them with Remdesivir which, apparently, causes kidney failure. Again apparently (I am not a doctor) kidney failure causes water retention in the body, including the lungs, and it was diagnosed as pneumonia. Remember all the flooded lungs and people dying of pneumonia?

    JC, that’s their plan for everyone – remember the “we’re trying to keep the curve flat,” so don’t anyone go to hospital until you’re on your last legs.

    btw, that gives the lie to “we’re all in this together” no matter what you’re situation, be it young/old, fat/thin, city/country, blonde/brunette, Carlton/Collingwood, swimmer/surfie etc etc.

    I had an argument this arvo with a very good friend about the jab. She’s about 12 years older than me and is an AZer.

    Previously, she’d asked me when was I going in, to which I said that neither of us are getting it. Then, and again today, I was told that she wouldn’t get on a plane with an unvaccinated person [edit: leper].

    Today, I said, well, if our civil rights and citizenship status are to be downgraded, we no longer wish to pay any taxes to support anyone else.

    We are very fortunate in our lives not to have needed anything much from the state – I mean directly, we’ve put in far more than we’ve ever taken out. But part of that deal was that we’re one team – The Aussies – now, if we’re not to judged in that way, then we should be able to opt out of being burdened with people who wouldn’t sit next to us on a plane.

    Interesting video on WWII production in the UK.

    Their manufacturing strength is rooted in the UK government’s response to The Great Depression (cut government spending, cut taxes) which resulted in an unprecedented period of growth (and growth in manufacturing capacity) in the lead up to WWII.

    US welfare and infrastructure bill is 3.5 trillion USD (very likely to pass).

    […and 1 trillion USD has already been approved this year].

    Last year, Trump bucks were 2 trillion USD.

    …and they seem to be heading into a double dip recession in the US.

    US Federal tax revenue amounts to 3.863 trillion USD a year.

    No tax hikes, no belt tightening, efficiency drives but a lot of monetary accommodation.

    Oh well.

    It feels good to own a gold explorer now. Given Joey Jo Jo Bidan’s stiffy for EVs, it also feels good to own the same firm that owns a potentially great lithium play.

    Feels good man.

    Great vaccine. Everyone who gets it becomes obsessed with not getting the virus and afraid of people who haven’t been vaccinated.
    Did I fall asleep and wake up in a world of retards? Or was everyone always this retarded but I never noticed?

    Previously, she’d asked me when was I going in, to which I said that neither of us are getting it. Then, and again today, I was told that she wouldn’t get on a plane with an unvaccinated person [edit: leper].

    That’s pretty silly because the whole of idea of getting the vax was firstly to avoid the bio-weapon. This has now turned out to be getting covid, but only slightly.

    Again, I’m in no way ragging against anti-vaxers. Having said that, it would also be reasonable to expect these people not to seek medical advice if they became infected with the bio-weapon. It’s the only way of avoiding being a hypocrite.

    JC, you must be a wishful thinker – hypocrites are everywhere and seem not too bothered about being hypocrites.

    Btw, we aren’t anti-vaxxers, we’re just not having any of these.

    You’d be the one more at risk from sitting next to a newly vaccinated person on a plane from shedding. I’ve heard of children getting sick from being near their vaccinated parents.
