[@reynemanzano]

@@phattjohnson lookup the term reverse psychology to get what he’s saying. Then lookup the rules of the game called “Uno,” specifically the function of the reverse card. On a more serious note. I understand the original commenter’s skepticism, and I even share some of it. The more concerning issue is the fact that phenomenon have subverted a significant amount of trust in our institutions. I’ll concede that this subversion of trust is in large part caused by the institutions themselves, but the issue still stands that this distrust is unsustainable, even if justified and tragic. If we don’t find a way to mend the fabric of our nation and to establish trust as a primary currency, we are in for strife and hardship

So, CDC employees could keep their jobs even if they chose to not get vaccinated even though many others were fired. “Rules for thee but not for me.”

[@alphagerudo6242]

O'Reilly Corp office sent mass emails of how us choosing not to get the chip were basically going to lose our jobs. They then opted the weekly testing since they knew over have the country employees would leave the stores, warehouses and Corp offices therefore companies would lose so much money, I stood my ground and chose to work odd end jobs for family members until that mass hysteria stopped and lose my home, I didn't care. None of this was adding up. The only down side is I am certain they have put it into walmart specifically produce by now.

[@justinlavine9209]

To my understanding, outbreaks of SARS began in China in the early 2000s. The Chinese government then took steps in the form of masking protocols which prevented this infectious disease from turning into a global pandemic. To my understanding, the people and government of China were so successful in quarantining SARS that it took a decade for the virus to transform into COVID before it turned into a global pandemic. These same mask protocols, in conjunction with increased hygiene, were successfully used in Western countries to slow the spread of this flu in the absence of vaccines which ended up causing side-effects and medical complications. For this reason, I find it disgraceful how many people are willing to believe that China acted malignantly or negligently as regards this deadly flu strain. In reality, the Chinese government and people seemed to have done all a country could possibly do to protect itself and support other nations in the fight against this pandemic. This includes the manufacture of low cost computers which were distributed to American school children during the pandemic which were already being provided to impoverished areas of Africa with the help of American charitable organizations.

[@lindaparker1043]

Walensky, Fauci and Biden should face criminal charges for defrauding the American people and systematically discriminating against the 100 million unvaccinated and harassing them to comply with the crazy vaccine mandate with the vaccines that are proven to do nothing in stopping the spread of the virus. Vaccinated spread the virus just as much as the unvaccinated. Even the CDC announced this publicly just recently. This mandate is not at all for public safety. Their motive is clear: to increase the profit margins of the vaccine makers and benefit the stockholders and create a system in which these profit remains high by requiring frequent booster vaccination. Where is our democracy? Americans have the right to refuse medical treatments not yet fully tested and already caused many permanently disabled people!!!
