 Are you talking to me there? Just for the record I wouldn't do or not do anything based on Joe Biden's recommendation. Or DJTs. I had the Rona in December and the vax in February. And I wore a mask where it was required (but I think it provided me, myself, as the wearer, 0. 0002 protection.) About as much as wearing light colored clothing during a nuclear attack.

Life is fraught with risk.

I am not. I happen to know you're already vaccinated. I'm just speaking in general to anyone who cares to listen.

All I know is my sister is a nurse in a covid ward in Jacksonville Florida. I talked to her yesterday about this surgery I recently had and the talk turned to her work.  

The point is the situation there is not good.  There's people dying every day there of it still. She has no reason to lie to me or give me bad information for political purposes. The deaths are from all age groups including young people but they're mostly, though not all, unvaccinated. Also big fat fuckers seem to be at a much higher risk for whatever that's worth.  Some have been vaccinated, apparently those with the Pfizer, which I got myself, although those definitely at a lesser rate. 

So I guess I would advise based on real off the political record advice I've been given by a person I can implicitly trust, that you get vaccinated. Still it's up to you. I live in the country with no neighbors and I don't exactly go out clubbing or hanging out with groups of people and especially not now that I've been laid up. My risk is pretty small. Yours is your own to deal with but boy...I would still wear a mask if I were you and was waltzing around without vaccination because Biden or something.

LOL LOL. Just what I posted elsewhere !  The left is always desperate to disarm political opposition - to be able to make them feel intimidated by their black shirts/brown shirts/fake prosecutions etc etc etc. It IS about power.

In the months after Hitler took power, SA and Gestapo agents went from door to door looking for Hitler's enemies. They arrested Socialists, Communists, trade union leaders, and others who had spoken out against the Nazi Party; some were murdered. By the summer of 1933, the Nazi Party was the only legal political party in Germany.
