That is called intentionally quoting misleading facts. Psaki be lying again. But given the House Plant Agenda she needs to defend, it's tough to blame her. Too funny that Ed jumps on the Psaki lie and posts it as relevant facts. But consider the poster, there really is never very much value in an "Ed post", unless your looking for a good superlative. Best to ignore & move on. All you have to do to know that Omicron is significantly less of a threat than Covid or Delta is look at case & death relativity. Last January the US had a 7 Day Average of Cases at 250K & 3500 daily deaths. Now we have 800K average cases and 1800+ daily deaths. Your UK stats are similar, 5X the cases now and 20% of the deaths from a year ago. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. Sure, vaccination rates make up some of that difference, but Omicron performed similarly in S. Africa And SA's vaccination rate is very low compared to the US or UK. Frankly you needed 4 Co-Morbidities to fall into the pool of 75% of the original Covid/Delta deaths. This whole thing has been a nothing burger if you were under 30 and weren't: Obese, Diabetic, Cardiac/Cancer patient, Asthmatic or immuno compromised. But don't say that out loud, you're likely to get banned by someone. Someday the CDC will let out the real facts regarding age & health striations of those that required hospitalization or died. Likely when a GOP member occupies the WH and has authority over the CDC Director to get this info out in public. We're going to find out that if you were under 65 & not about to die of your Co-morbidities anyway, you didn't really need the vaccine if you were OK getting a bad flu nor did we need to all be locked down. It made sense to be scared of the unknown from mid-March to about June 1st of 2020. But after that and certainly after the vaccines were widely distributed by March/April of 2021, the government's job was over. Covid will go down as the biggest Democratic overreach of government power in the history of Western Democracy. My God, if you live in Canada, Austrailia or New Zealand, you really got screwed by your belief that you lived in a free country. At least they are letting the stadiums in the UK fill up for great matches like City vs. Chelsea this AM. No vaccination requirement to attend EPL games pre-Omicron, hopefully they haven't changed that. The US can't even get that part of society right at this point. Vaccine requirements everywhere at US Sporting Events. Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

Ed you seem to be confused. I asked Mission where he would draw the line. I surely don't care what some RV'er who's new best friend is the bartender/waiter in the next town has to say. You know the guy who's only social outlet is this God forsaken place. Please go away, no one cares what you have to say. Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

Why? That's not what is overcrowding the hospitals; Covid is. The hospitals were fine before that. That's why I'm not discriminating between vaccinated and unvaccinated folks; just don't treat Covid at all. We could end all healthcare; that would also be fine, I guess. The cost savings would be tremendous, no more insurance industry, Medicare/Medicaid gone, shorter lifespans making Social Security viable, people not living beyond their productive years, for the most part. Seems a little extreme to end all healthcare, though...especially with all the money already invested into it. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want."

Yet you keep responding to my clever comebacks I must be in your head because your only comeback is to insult me. Try to stay in your lane. Insulting is against the rules. Can you follow the rules here and stop insulting me?? Block me if you don't care what I have to say. Thats what a mature adult does. Can you handle that? Thats how we do things here, not your dumb absurd demand to go away. I don't care what AZ or EB says so I have them blocked. It would be absurd of me to demand they go away.

So facts about your "life" aren't insults. The fact that you think they are is, ahh, "telling" I find stupid people unaware of the fact that they are embarrassing themselves entertaining. I am not saying you're stupid, that would be an insult. But you are entertaining. Take that however you want, I don't give a $hit. Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied.

Tell you what, never quote or respond to my posts that aren't about you and you'll never get a response from me. It's really that simple and up to you. Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

You still don't seem to understand TP that half or more of the antivacers are not into the internet bullshit about the danger of the vaccines. They are trying to protect your civil rights from an overbearing government. People who did this used to be called heroes. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."
