You must know that the vaccine leaflets clearly state that it is a randomized, double-blind study, which means that it is a study where the nurse who dispenses the vaccines does not know if what is being given is an authentic vaccine or a simple placebo. Which proves that it is an EXPERIMENTAL vaccine.

Y'know, there are so many reasons to make fun of those insurrectionists. So very, very many reasons. But I especially hate how they invite the "living with their parents" line of mockery. Because lots of folks live with their parents nowadays. It's increasingly common, especially outside of America, and even more so because of the pandemic. Does it really have to be such a sticking point? I live with my parents too. They're elderly, and I need to take care of them. They've had four major surgeries in the last three years, and someone had to help them get by. I've spent months on end rehabilitating and comforting them. We don't want to spend money on caretakers, the pandemic sure didn't help, and neither of them wants to get sent to a home. We can't afford another house, they're already divorced and living separately, and I gotta cross the river all the time just to touch bases. So here I am, working every day to try to make them both comfortable in their golden years and keep the family running, and then I hear about how another one of these buffoons who stormed the Capitol lives with their parents. The jokes begin, the laughter rises, and I feel the sting of embarrassment. And I don't blame Stephen, I love the guy, but man, can't we skip the "lives with his momma" jokes? Can we just agree that it doesn't necessarily have to be a mark of shame by itself? I hate feeling like a loser every time this comes up. And I bet I'm not alone. Again, I don't blame Stephen. But lord, after all the emotional and physical stress of caring for elderly relatives, I can't stand the idea that I could be compared to those twits who farted in America's face back in January. If nothing else, I think I've at least earned more than that.

@Damien Vryce we live with my dad by choice. We could afford an apartment, but why pay $1600+/month for rent when my dad lives alone in a large 4 BR house with a paid off mortgage? We all go in equally on bills, so it saves all of us money, as it's split 3 ways, and my dad (who can't cook) gets LOTS of delicious homemade meals. I am his only child, and I know eventually I will **need** to live here to help him, but the idea that the only acceptable reason for living with parents is due to disability or inability to care for oneself, etc, is also dumb. Western civilization's obsession with families living alone is ridiculous. My dad gets to see his 6 yo granddaughter DAILY, and we all have a great time together. IMO, it's wonderful.

[@fmandds]

Definitely not alone. I had but a brief stint alone but when I wanted to save money to travel to Europe I went back home. Afterwards, my mother took ill and I've been with her ever since.

A real vaccine is supposed to stop transmission in addition to providing immunity, whereas these “experimental vaccines” don’t prevent transmission. Efficacy data, even from Israel, is based on an asymptomatic response to subsequent viral re-exposure and NOT on transmission. You can still catch covid and what is worse, continue to infect other people and have it replicate in your body even after both jabs b. The antibodies that you produce in response to the antigen of these inoculations are predominantly “non-neutralizing” as opposed to being mostly neutralizing antibodies like from an ordinary live attenuated vaccine or having naturally overcome the disease. So this passport or green certificate is useless.
