doubtful, often racist motivations by any passing recognition.

You really don't know who you are talking about, I can tell.

Where did you discover the racist element of his hypothesis?

we have no choice but to forgive them. There are paid idiots & there are useful idiots (not paid). And forums such as this are infested with both kinds. Still, they'll be culled like the rest of us. But the cognoscenti die knowing what the facts are. The idiots die as pig-shit ignorant as the day they were born.

Here's three useful links. Notice they are not on YouTube, so I cannot embed them:

When you see such organized evil in this world you realize; there may not be a God, but there's certainly a Satan!

Viruses, then, must be a sentient being, a collective with a conscience. They can make a lab anywhere. Even in a pig. Some alien virus inside it made the bat virus, the kind that only goes from bat to pig, altered so it could jump to man.

The viruses get bored, so a few times they change the pandemic from flu to another species.

Who are the paid shills here? And how do I become one?

You have a very tenuous connection to the concept of humour...

[Cunt]

You seem to sometimes treat satire as somehow disrespectful.

Sounds a lot like you, just quietly.

The county is still reporting less than 100 cases a day. Also, an 800 number was put up to register for vaccine for those not trusting computers or not having one. I find that there are in fact a lot of old people with smart phones and no proper computer (they want to send pictures of grand kids and cats). They don't know how to use the email on the phone.

Recoveries: 12,190

Weekly positivity rate:

February 7 through 13: 18 percent

Vaccines like voting: why bother?

Nationwide, nearly half of Americans would refuse a shot if offered one immediately, polls suggest. Vaccination skepticism is even higher among Black and Hispanic people, white people without a college degree, registered Republicans and lower-income households.

Kate Grabowski, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins, told me that she has heard from relatives about their friends and co-workers choosing not to get a shot because they keep hearing they can still get Covid and pass it on to others — and will still need to wear masks and social distance. “What’s the point?” she said, describing their attitude.

Just have a tv show where Jesus Christ himself gets the shot. Then everyone will want one.

The anti-vaccination, anti-mask, anti-science crowd is hooking up with the sovereign citizen loons. There are amazing business opportunities for those who are willing to bilk the militantly credulous.

'This Sketchy New Company Wants to Help Anti-Vaxxers Travel'

James Corbett, the self-styled “independent, listener-supported alternative” journalist behind The Corbett Report, a hub for content on topics like “9/11 Truth and false flag terror” that has been a mainstay of the digital conspiracy world for over a decade and receives over 750,000 views per day, is unsurprisingly not a fan of what he calls “COVID-1984” control measures. But because he is “not going to get masked up and tested and vaccinated and whatever else is coming along as requirements for international travel,” he worries that, as a Canadian living in Japan, he might not be able to see most of his family in person for quite some time. “I know I am not the only person in this boat,” he told his viewers in a video released on his site and its YouTube channel in mid-January.

That, he explained, is part of why he wanted to do a feature on the Freedom Airway & Freedom Travel Alliance (FAFTA), a company founded in late 2020 to help its (paying) members travel around the world without observing any masking, quarantining, vaccination, or other pandemic control measures—or any other public health regulations they don’t want to follow. They frame this as an effort to protect people from “injurious regulation and discriminatory policy” that infringes on their “natural health rights.” Their tagline: “Are you ready to travel freely again?”

If this sounds like an impractical mission in light of the stringent COVID-19 control restrictions the vast majority of nations and airlines have enacted in recent months, that’s because it is. When interested parties on FAFTA’s Facebook page have asked how they will get around these laws and rules, the company usually responds with some variation on the vague assurance “there are always loopholes,” if it responds at all. But as Lawrence Gostin, an expert on global health laws at Georgetown University, told The Daily Beast, “No company can guarantee that there will be no testing or contact tracing or any other requirements” for its travel customers.

“There are so many things about this company that jump out as red flags,” added John Breyault of the National Consumer League’s Fraud.org project, ranging from its mixture of improbable claims and vague offerings to its founders’ lack of apparent relevant industry experience. “It screams fishy at best, scammy at worst… Regardless of how you feel about mask mandates or vaccines, I would say steering clear of this company is the smartest course to take.”
