Are you suggesting the first video is not true?

Their fearmongering isn't. I grew up with that stuff and FINALLY got out and I sleep SO much better at night.

Trust me, I was worried in the early 80s that I was going to Hell because I was using Head and Shoulders (their rival had cooked up a story that the P&G logo was a "church of satan" logo and someone had left a mimeograph at our church). Between that, the rumors about Social Security checks saying "need the mark of the beast to cash", "Left Behind" and all that other stuff.. I've live through more than enough fearmongering by Swaggart, Bakker, Falwell, Robertson, Roberts, etc, etc..

Oh, trust me i got that. And this IS a strong point. We've been hearing all this end of the days stories forever. It doesn't ruin my sleep, but i still hope i am wrong and will just laugh at it in the future. My point is that the whole situation is about financial. Covid is just a cover. Our financial system is artificial and based on always expending debt levels. And it does look to me we can't expend the debt levels, because even with zero interest rates our economy doesn't grow any more. And pumping more and more money into economy to keep it going will only accelerate the inflation. Rasing rates is a right thing to do. But it will destroy our fake economy, that was built on low interest rates and probably is unable to produce value (profit) in free market economy at this point.

I will be the first to admit that i am ignorant to alot. Mostly because I follow my own path. So my thoughts may be way off base.
That being said there is way to much fear being shoved down people's throats and in turn them agreeing to run with the pack. One of my biggest issues is they call this shot a vaccine. Vaccines are essentially a 1 and done. (Yes i know multiple rounds as a kid) So everyone is in to what booster 4? Thats a "bandaid" that needs to be changed when it goes bad. Its a shot, not a vaccine. Its also interesting that every time a new strain is "found" a new shot must be had. But i won't stray in to that realm.
Religious beliefs have nothing to do with anything outside of personal thinking. If your beliefs tell you no shot, that doesn't concern me, your choice. As my choices shouldn't concern you. That doesn't mean we cant be friends.
Ive never said that there was no such virus just find it funny that i cant do my job without a respirator but a cloth mask will keep me alive.
There's too much shaming for thinking for yourself.

The whole shitshow with shots ,boosters never ending covid strains ( seasonal flu, anyone) and vaccine mandates(i would call criminal) are just resulting in total mistrust and in many cases hate in government. This is very dangerous. That kind of situation, with a "help" from abroad might lead to revolution, wich never ends well. I think we are far away from that point, but we are moving in that direction. I can only hope we can get a real leadership in this country that would actually give a f... about the country and put it in front of politics.

This has to be one of the dumbest, most asinine threads I've come across on this website.

Rather than explain how off base and incorrect a majority of the Covid comments are, I'll just reference this: the Dunning-Kruger effect. Look it up and stop acting as though you know even 1/100th of the science behind Covid.

Did you just register here to write this crap? Do you realize this thread is not about covid? Maybe before farting in the wind you should read the coments first. Is this warm enough welcome for you?

Ever heard of a "Tetanus booster"? Every 5-10 years, because it wears off?

First off, im not on a soapbox, also not here to prove/disprove anyones thoughts or opinions. I knew id get flak for saying anything. I should of just read and moved on, and be the mute i usually am.

If you are afraid to be wrong, you will never be right. Speak up you mind. It is not bad to be wrong, as long as you can recognize it and learn from it. At least that is how i am trying to deal with it.

I agree 100%. thing I've learned over the years though is that people cannot agree to disagree and still be friends. main reason I have a very tight circle.

I say, will everyone just hurry up and get the covid and die. No more problems. Game over.
