Covid News Around the World One Year Later

[Gil Boyd]

Thats why we came out..............................not everybody was singing off the same songsheet to which this testifys

I appreciate many of the advantages of the EU, but I really hate the hypocrisy of the rhetorics about the common land, etc. It is just a bunch of countries which try to step over each other while stepping all together over their citizen.
In the name of freedom and democracy.

Follow up on the mask policies while traveling. No place in Cleveland we went required masks and maybe 5% were wearing them, only the science museum I mentioned earlier had a requirement and we didn't go there. Pittsburgh had one place, the Aviary, that required them. No idea why but people were complying. Even the Heinz museum didn't require them but I don't know who exactly controls that. It's a Smithsonian affiliate museum which I didn't know existed outside of Washington DC. Perhaps the Heinz family whose widow is an ultra liberal married to John Kerry doesn't control it in any way anymore.

The Flight 93 memorial however is a Federal building and they were being pretty anal about it. Not in Pittsburgh but out in the boonies east of Pittsburgh by about an hour.

The teachers union in a huge flip flop is now recommending all teachers get vaccinated. This is to protect the children too young to be vaccinated. Yes, those same children at zero risk for detrimental effects of covid. We are wondering who got paid, by whom and by how much.

My wife's weather app is now telling her how many new cases of Covid and how many deaths there are in Pennsylvania.

Obama had a massive birthday party that is being widely criticized and they came up with the usual excuses. It was an enlightened vaccinated crowd. They banned pictures but they still got out. Almost 500 initially invited but they scaled it back about 100 people who I guess they decided weren't important enough.

Someone I know got her first shot on the 4th and bragged about it on FB. Guess who has spent the last 5 days in bed apparently feeling worse than she ever has before in her life.

We now have the “green pass” for plenty activities. Again, without any coherence.
If I want to go to a restaurant, I need it to eat inside. Not for outside.
Cooks, waiters, other personnel don’t need it…
That is just an example.
I keep living as I decided to.
I have the “pass”, but many people don’t, just because the vaccination campaign did not yet reach everybody.
One is my daughter, the middle one. At 15, she needs it. But she won’t get the first jab until the end of the month.
Apart from the fact that I’m not convinced about vaccinating kids, what is the fault of those who just got the jab set for the end of August, mid September, later still?
Why should they be discriminated if they never refused the vaccine but were put at the bottom of the list due to age?
If she can’t go somewhere, then “somewhere” can scr…w itself and we’ll gome somewhere else or organise something at home.
My tolerance is reaching its limit…

I don't have a dog in this fight. But. Heard recently of smallpox, mumps, polio, rubella, etc infections? No? Some vaccinations work. Makes sense to me to take all the precautions, including vaccination. Especially those nearest and dearest.

Amen!

No doubt. But they were not accompanied by the same mess we have today.
I got my vaccine at the first opportunity. But all the fuss around this virus, all the contradictory measures, all the misinformation…
That is really driving me crazy.

Covid is none of those diseases, the "vaccine" is not a vaccine. It is similar to a flu shot. It may or may not work, it will have to be changed every time Covid mutates. It is also completely untested for long term effects. It takes about 5 years for a vaccine to be approved, this was rushed, it remains for emergency use only. Children are in no emergency, this disease barely affects them.

If it’s not a vaccine, and vaccines take about 5 years to be approved, then how long does it take, let’s say, a flu shot to get approved?
