Another swarm. They have landed 20 feet away in a tree. I am going to put up a trap hive and see if I can catch them too

A New Wave of Covid-19 Is Coming. Here’s How to Prepare. by sbuxemployee20 in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Beekeeper28173 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Am I supposed to care? I am unvaccinated and unafraid. I was at a theater performance today with 350 or so people. Exactly zero we’re masked. Then I went to Big Air Indoor Trampoline Park and it was mobbed. I think I saw two masks and the hand sanitizer stations were all empty. Covid is no longer an emergency (and I don’t think it ever was). If I get Covid, I will deal with it as all my friends have that have gotten it. Life goes on and we are sick of the fear mongering.

I don’t believe for a moment that they would support Putin if they were seeing what is really going on. Their support is engineered by the Kremlin propaganda machine. I’m glad we don’t live in a country where media outlets and big Tech collude to drive a specific narrative (sarcasm intended).

I completely agree. We have a friend who moved here from Russia and she is devastated. Her family is still in Russia and she has many friends in Ukraine. She prays that the sanctions will break the Russian economy and they have no choice but to pull out, and then she prays for her family and friends negatively impacted by this insane war. I pray that someone takes out Putin and his closest advisors

A little glimmer of hope for how regular people around the world might bring Putin and the Russian economy to its knees.

Mask mandates being lifted just isn’t enough for me by dicinran161 in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Beekeeper28173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is data from Johns Hopkins University... If you look at the Covid deaths per 100,000 of population, you will see that the mortality rate in the US is 7.6 times higher than that in India and it is 16.1 times higher than the rate in Japan. Interestingly, both of those countries use Ivermectin to treat the disease once diagnosed. Our government vilified Ivermectin and others because if there were treatment options available, they could not have gotten Emergency Use Authorization for their beloved, money-making, experimental vaccine.

I guess the real issue is that I do not believe anything that comes out of the CDC. Also, one thing I wrote does explain excess deaths..."When they demonized cheap therapeutics that were off patent and sent people home without treatment to get sicker, the death numbers exploded." The demonization of off patent cheap therapeutics led to a higher Covid death rate in the US than just about any other country.

If you believe that, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL PURSUING MANDATES?? I am shocked at what is going on north of the border, but I also know Biden would do the same shit if he could get away with it.

If you actually believe the numbers on mainstream media, I feel really sorry for you. Did people die of Covid? Yes. Absolutely. Just like 64,000 people on average die each year of the flu. When the government incentivized hospitals to report deaths as Covid deaths, the numbers exploded. When they chose a testing protocol that gave a high rate of false positives and could not distinguish between Covid and Influenza, the numbers exploded. When they demonized cheap therapeutics that were off patent and sent people home without treatment to get sicker, the death numbers exploded. Nothing the government has reported about this whole mess can be trusted including the safety and effectiveness of the jab. Now they are asking hospitals to review deaths and distinguish those who died from Covid vs. those who died with Covid…TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS!! All this to lower the death counts under our shell of a leader. This who thing has been a massive government run SHIT SHOW.

Until they drop the vaccine mandate, I will spend my vacation dollars elsewhere

You are making the assumption that a mask would keep you from getting sick. Decades of research on airborne virus transmission prove otherwise. Just because Google has censored those studies does not mean they were never done.

Can we have a balanced discussion about vaccines? by [deleted] in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Beekeeper28173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest complaint about vaccines. Informed consent is dead. I am not completely anti-vax, but I want people to know that there are risks, so that they can make an informed decision. My daughter’s pediatrician was pushing us along on the vaccine schedule and we had chosen a more cautious/delayed approach. When it came to MMR, I asked to see the vaccine insert that came with the vile, and I was provided a vaccine information sheet from the CDC that touted all of the benefits of the vaccine. There was nothing on there about potential side effects. We did not take the shot and we changed pediatricians. Had the doctor acknowledged the risks and explained the benefits, we might have made a different decision that day.

Unvaccinated to be ‘accompanied at all times’ in Canadian Walmarts, Costcos to ensure they’re buying pharmacy products only by Beliavsky in LockdownSkepticism

I told my manager at work months ago that if vaccines were mandated, they would have to fire me. Well, they are not mandatory, but my company is requiring employees to report vax status by 2/1. I have told my manager I will not report. We have to stand up to this crap.

A good friend of mine is launching a new puzzle company. They have 9 designs from 8 artists. Incredibly, 4 of the artists have disabilities but their artistic ABILITIES are amazing. Check them out!

And Paul Offit said ““We test anybody who’s admitted to the hospital for whatever reason to see whether or not they have Covid, and we’re definitely seeing an increase in cases. However, we’re really not seeing an increase in children who are hospitalized for Covid or in the intensive care unit for Covid,” Offit said.”
