I was supportive of lock downs and got howled down by a few here. Imagine how many would have had long covid or died if lock downs and restrictions were eased/stopped before a heap were vaccinated.
When it comes to health or safety, it's best to be a little conservative IMO. Often there are a few "unknowns".
Best you wear a mask all the time and stay home and save lives. SFA have the 3rd or 4th shot, efficacy is SFA after a few months and people aren't wearing masks outside
God man you eat a lot of prunes.

Now, feeling like you’re suffocating is scary. I don’t care how brave you are. But you make it worse if you panic. No need to. Stay calm , can go to hospital get put on oxygen. You will be fine.
But anyway you do get better. Don’t panic.

ONE small country town supermarket shut for deep cleaning.
Fancy that, all those people shopping and only one supermarket shut down.
Not a single bunnings, mitre 10, coles or Woolworths? Millions of people through the doors?
But one sniffle in a pizza bar, cafe or travel agent and BAM the doors were closed.

A lot of studies to come out have shown this to be true, that the vaccines don't provide much protection.

Did you not tell us that you have covid 4 times, and it wasn't a good experience and you were on the bed for a couple of weeks. I dunno but many people here are in their 50s or above, probably not the most fittest (like you) and i know i can't afford to take 2 weeks off spending in bed every 6 months.

Mate anyone knows tin foil hats are always self made as the CIA can put transmitters in if made at the factory.

Before we stopped counting flu deaths over here ( gee I wonder why) it was killing approx 700 a year here. So far over a couple of years we have had approx 1400 odd covid linked deaths so yea pretty deadly alright. Funny how it coincides with the flu deaths that arent getting counted anymore should be more shouldnt it. I get really bad hayfever and Id rather have covid anyday...

My fiance has been scrolling Facebook, now she wants to start preparing for the upcoming worldwide famine, she's convinced Covid is just the common cold and the great reset coupled with unprecedented rapid climate change, in the absence of farming will see us humans become nomadic like a plague of locusts rushing from one place to the next devouring the land of all its plants and animals.
Anyhow, I'd better be off now, I need to continue stocking my bunker and get on with fat scoring all the locals so I can create a priority based meal plan.

Well most the 3rd world isnt vaccinated, despite what their governments claim. You need an army of UN workers just to roll out a vaccine in a single country because warlords, local officials right down to the guy driving the truck flogs it off for guns or food or relabels it viagra and resells it before the average guy gets it. And it still takes years even then.
The idea 130 country dumps rolled out a vaccine effectively requires belief in santa claus, the easter bunny, Captain marvel , an army of 2 million UN workers teleporting in from the moon and a 3rd grade grasp of basic math and world geography, (though a 4th grader would probably be okay)
if half starved folks of all races in climates and age groups living in close proximity and accessing live markets and communal water sources can go about business with covid so can I cheers. The biggest impact on 3/4 of the world was the supply hold ups for food and other vaccines. A lot of extra kids died during the height of the lockdowns, we are talking tens of thousands a day.
Luckily 7-8 black kids are worth throwing down the drain to enable one white guy a 20% more chance of making it from 80-85 and burning his own middle class to a crisp in the process. What a bargain for everyone.
