I appreciate your courtesy in this thread.
I would question a couple of your conclusions. Polio struck children with devastating effect. COVID 19 doesn’t effect children for the most part and no more than a handful of children has had serious morbidity or mortality.
The level of risk of the “vaccine” for COVID 19 is not justified in children nor in young adults based on their risk from the disease.
The number of adverse events reported for the COVID 19 vaccines which we know are the tip of the iceberg because the VAERS system is backed up and also because usually only a fraction of adverse effects are reported, is a multiple of all the adverse effects reported for many other vaccines combined over a multi year period. Why then do you hold brief for COVID-19 vaccine to be safer than polio vaccine. Death is the same, can’t have a worse side effect than that. Plenty of reported deaths from COVID-19 vaccines c/w other vaccines & in a very short time.
Thank you also for your kind civility.
I think some of my opinion on the severity (or not) of Covid comes from personal experience, which is normal for many people.
I’m a retired Paramedic for Detroit Fire. I still have friends and contacts with medical professionals in Detroit as I now live in far Northern Michigan.
Fauci is an idiot. I don’t read what he says, or watch him on any media source. I ignore him so he isn’t a factor with what I know or think.
Right now Michigan is just beginning to come down off a surge of cases.
My wife, who still works (she’s younger than I) runs a business with approx 340 employees under her. She’s da boss.
Right now she has approx 130 people out that tested positive for Covid or who had close contact with a positive Covid person. The health dept. informs her daily. I have not asked what her numbers are today.
Of those 130 out, 2 are hospitalized, those 2 men are presently intubated, one is 20 something years old, another is 40 something.
Small number of seriously ill, yes, and thank God.
Of the approx 130 out with positive Covid or close contact, it’s a mix. Some are the sickest they’ve ever been in their life, some lost smell and taste but nothing else. Some in the close contact category end up coming down with Covid, some don’t.
The game of Russian Roulette, sure there will be at least 5 empty chambers in the gun, but someone is going to lose and get the one chamber with a bullet. But who?
I assumed the 2 very sick men under my wife’s employ were older with health issues. I was very surprised one was in his 20s with no known health issues. The 40 year old, although older, no risk factors for him either.
They got the chamber with the bullet.
I think for the majority of people, as we know, Covid can be a pause, a complication in life but all will end fine.
I’m not a scientist or Doctor, and I don’t play one. I read and try to understand and learn. But I admit, I like real time info from people “on the ground” as they say.
I don’t know your location and that’s a factor too. Here in Michigan we were under stupidly strict lock downs and orders. So when those lock downs got lifted, we had a surge........had Michigan been more like Florida or South Dakota we would be well into Herd immunity.......but we fell behind and just now reaching to get to where other States with smart Governors running them.
Have a great evening.
