age, cite my contradictions without blisterin' my brain with a loooong, idiosyncratic post and we can talk

otherwise: bugger off
I have ALREADY TOLD you and have SHOWN you.

You just can NOT YET SEE NOR hear them because you are BLIND and DEAF to you OWN BELIEFS.

AND, when I have VERY CLEARLY POINTED them out BEFORE you go to one of your diversionary tactics and CLAIM I will NOT read what you wrote.

One of YOUR CONTRADICTIONS is that you CLAIM one has their OWN life, liberty, and property, BUT in the EXACT SAME BELIEF you BELIEVE you can SHOOT ANY one DEAD for just touching a toothpick, which you CLAIM is YOURS.

If you STILL can NOT YET SEE this CONTRADICTION HERE, then BELIEFS BLIND 'you', human beings, MORE than I first realized.

Now, INSTEAD of getting me to keep RE-REPEATING this EXACT SAME 'thing', how about you try and DEFEND this BELIEF of YOURS, THIS TIME?

- Every year, a lot of folks die from the flu … except when those deaths get counted as Covid-19 deaths.

- Those who contract the flu and don’t die often treat it with hot chicken soup, liquids, something to reduce the fever, and bed rest.

- Like influenza, the majority of Covid-19 cases do not result in death.

- The CDC director was grilled in Congress and fessed-up that in most Covid-19 deaths of the Covid-19 vaccinated, in the US, at least four other co-morbidities were present.

- Seems feasible that folks in that such condition would have also died of the flu, and that Covid-19 has similar effects as the flu on most of the population.

Governments are the moment be they led by Trump or BIden are basically the same.

You hear that every time a Leftist is caught with hand in the cookie jar, or has a record as indefensible by any measure, as Biden's record.

Polio immunisation consists of 4 vaccines spaced months apart, the last one being about 4 years after the 3rd.

Here's a tissue to wipe away the snotty.

I don't know any adults that got a polio booster.

Have you gotten one? :|

I wonder if polio boosters are included in the cocktails that soldiers get, soldiers who live by another set of civil liberties.

yep, your life, liberty, property are yours; my life, liberty, property are mine

nope, I never said I believe I have a right to shoot someone DEAD for just touchin' my toothpick

unless the mask is form-fittin' and flitered, the most it'll do is redirect the virus up and back

if you want to LOOK AT and SEE thee ACTUAL Truth of 'things'

a test: ask a friend who smokes or vapes to take a drag, slip the mask on, then exhale normally

multiple plumes of smoke or vape will stream from his mask

another test: wear a mask, break wind

you'll smell your own flatulence

again: a form-fittin', filtered mask is effective; the kind most folks wear (like the one in the pic I posted above) are for show

but, really, if you wanna wear a mask, age, please do: it's absolutely no skin offa my nose

I won't
the mask you wear, age: it's one of them form-fittin', filtered jobs, yeah?

Since the Covid-19 vaccine requires boosters, why doesn’t the polio vaccine require boosters?
Wonderfully the Polio vaccine was distributed befor the advent of ANTIVAXXER morons, and has been all but eradicated from the surface of the earth.
Additionall polio is a disease that primarily effect the young.
