Again, SMH (at your images, dear Sher'f - peace to you and thank you for posting them... along with George Carlin's ALWAYS sage words!).

I definitely do not think that COVID19 is a HOAX or a conspiracy theory and shake my head at all the people who refuse to wear masks or get a vaccine. My guy John works in retail at a hardware store and he meets the nastiest people everyday who refuse to wear masks and sanitize their hands, they yell and swear and threaten him and his workmates because they are refused entry to the store.
Peace to you, dear Zoe... and to your dear John -
That pure lack of care for others... and all of the so-called "christians" who are backing that malarkey blows my mind. And then I think of JWs... and their kind of "herd" thinking and I think maybe not so much. Any one of us can have the virus and have absolutely no symptoms. And that's the thing: unless one has had a negative test, one has NO IDEA whether they are a spreader or not. Sure, JaH and Christ have us (Psalm 91)... but that doesn't mean WE can't infect someone ELSE. Who can say they love God and Christ... and yet, not be willing to wear a mask, wash their nasty hands... or receive a vaccine TO PROTECT OTHERS?? Christ gave his LIFE - and before doing so said "NO ONE has GREATER love than to give his LIFE... ON BEHALF OF HIS FRIENDS." Imagine, then, how any of us would feel if someone... a friend... or even a family member... DIED... because we weren't will to take easy-peasy precautions to try and prevent that? Will it prevent it? Chances are it will - but should we be willing to risk it? No one is asking anyone to allow themselves to be impaled on a tree; just a teeny "impalement" to try and SAVE lives.

One man in our area went to the local grocery store and refused to wear a mask, he got quite violent when he was refused entry and he tried to smash cars in the parking lot. The police went out to his house afterwards and he was shot dead because he threatened the police. Hardly worth it for a little thing like having to wear a mask for a short time and keep yourself and other safe.
Sign. SMH. They cry that the virus is a hoax and its presence makes no sense. THIS... makes NO SENSE. One could say, "Well, he died defending his civil rights." I really hate it when people say stuff like that. It's like when something in the legal system occurs and they go, "That isn't FAIR!" WHO, I implore anyone here to tell me, said that the law is FAIR?? This isn't a civil rights issue - it's a PUBLIC HEALTH issue... and for that ONE reason... THE LAWS CHANGE. How do I know? Because I spent 4 years
getting my LAW degree! What people THINK the law IS... and what it TRULY is... is almost NEVER the same thing. (Pardon my all caps, luvs - one never knows who reads here and I have at least one person who I think does in mind when directing my words. I digress.).

This pandemic is really showing how selfish and stupid many people are.
Isn't it?? You are SO right, dear sister. And ESPECIALLY for the so-called "christians." I am SO glad.. SO glad... that JaH and Christ called me out from among them. I am embarrassed and ashamed of EVERY so-called "christian" who put his/her "rights" (which, again, because this is not a Constitutional issue but a PUBLIC HEALTH issue) ahead of his/her brother/sister, fellowman... even enemies... run around claiming to belong to "Jesus." Well, take a look at ALL that has been done in our world and on our planet... in the name of "Jesus." Where, oh, WHERE can the Christ be "seen" in any of it? They make me wanna slap some sense into them. Since I can't do that, I just pray for them.

Wait - There's COVID in CANADA?? The HOAX that is COVIN in the US is
also in CANADA?? Well, go figure. Who would'a thunk it. Them Canadians - what are they thinking, joining the USA in trying to fool THE WHOLE WORLD!? Again, I have a particular audience in mind, dear Zoe, so please know I hear YOU.

I Finally got my 1st vaccine last Thursday, I wasn't eligible until 2 weeks ago even though I am 70+ years old. John gets his 1st vaccine this Thursday even though he works in the front line. I did not get a reaction to the vaccine (Pfizer) other than a very sore arm for 24 hours.
We're all vaccinated in my household (me, hubs, kids, etc.). Me first, because I'm an "essential worker" (I even have a special ID that says it), but primarily because I work for a huge healthcare enterprise which was a partner in the Pfizer vaccine development. Then hubs and kids (hubs due to age and kids due to taking care of DIL's invalid father who lives with them). I felt a "touch" of flulike symptoms 24 hours after my 2nd shot - just took some medicinals and went to bed early. I have a LOT of osteoarthritis so I did have quite a bit of flu "aches" but I have an ointment from my shoulder surgery 10 years ago and just dabbed bits of that on the sore joints. Slept like a baby and woke up feeling GREAT the next morning. Hubs and son had slight bout of feeling peeky (hubs with 1st dose; son with 2nd) and we all had slightly sore arms (hubs with 1st does; me and son with 2nd dose).
BUT... I have had really "bad" flu twice in my life (once in my 20's; then in 2005)... and I can tell you, I wish I had taken the flu shot before BOTH of those events. The 2nd time I thought I was dying. Didn't want to experience anything like either of those events and certainly not what I was seeing people suffer with COVID. And DEFINITELY didn't want ANYONE to suffer what was possible by COVID
because of ME.Quote:
