Maybe you missed my post. The director of the CDC said no such thing.

I saw her say it with my very own eyes. It's inside another video I was watching I don't have time right now to go find it. She said point-blank that vaccinated people are spreading the disease just as much as unvaccinated people now. Like I didn't know that, happening in my wife's own family.

Yes, those who are vaccinated can spread it, even if asymptomatic.

Once everybody is vaccinated the virus will peter out due to lack of ripe victims.

Until then, we'll all keep swapping germs, but the unvaccinated will be experiencing the bad outcomes.

YOU know that, how many people in Walmart
last week where not a single person was
wearing a mask thought they were perfectly
safe because they were vaccinated. There were a bunch
of lowlifes in there not wearing masks I can guarantee
were not vaccinated. I stayed way way away from them.

I was only in there so I can pay my property taxes with money orders. I save the cash from the casino wins and pay my property taxes with it. It's almost a way of laundering money, I guess. But I haven't been to a brick-and-mortar casino in a year and a half so the cash funds are running kind of low. I was going to the post office for money orders but that place is covid central.

That video makes me think my wife had covid in March of 2020 at the same time I had it. When I go back and look at her texts to me she had all the symptoms of covid especially the extreme fatigue. She could barely get out of bed for days and thought she was going to die. She said she's never been that sick before. The doctor in the video says the side effects from the vaccination in a person who's had covid can be two to four times greater then in someone who has not had covid. My wife had a horrible time after she got the second shot, she was down for almost a week with headaches and body aches and nausea and constant coughing.

I almost forgot. My wife had to take her 95 year old mother to the ER Saturday because she fell and put a gash in the back of her head. My wife was in ER for 5 hours, the first 90 minutes was in the waiting room with all the other patients. Everybody there was wearing a mask because they were giving masks out as you came in the door. Some people were arguing saying they had their vaccination cards and did not need a mask. That they do not have covid are are safe from getting cold. Most of these people seem to have no idea that they were not safe at all. One guy got angry and refused to come in because he didn't want to wear a mask.

When I called my brother's nurse tonight as I do every night I finally asked her and she said everybody in the hospital wears a mask except the patients. Everybody entering the hospital has their temperature taken and is given a mask. I asked her if some people fight wearing masks and she says all the time. They have their vaccination card and they think they're safe. She asked me when I was visiting and I said I'm never going to visit the hospital as long as cold is around. A recent video from this weekend interviewing a hospital doctor and he said the fact that we're having a huge resurgence of covid in the summer is frightening. He said with people so unaware of the truth of what being vaccinated really means we will overwhelm hospitals far worse than we did in 2020. I left the house on Saturday to get gas for my lawn tractor and I never went indoors and I stayed 20 feet away from anybody who was there.

WTF
I think Desantis is off his rocker
I really doubt it legal to withhold somebody's paycheck due to masks
Just shows the Gov's desperation against a common sense solution to the virus

This guy is almost unwatchable because of the never ending smirk in his eyes on his face and in his voice. Gee I wonder who he voted for. LOL All I know for sure is this. Everybody in my wife's van were vaccinated and they all got sick. Some of them very sick. And they went home to spread covid to other members of their family inadvertently because they didn't know they had it for a few days. For me these are absolute incontrovertible facts. The husbands of two of the sisters in the van didn't go to the reunion and they both got it. A daughter of one of the sisters came over and got it, went home and gave it to her husband and one of her kids. We don't know how deep it goes yet, more news comes in all the time.
