ignorance is bliss
He was being satirical
Yes I know you don’t know what it means.
Look it up
But only the real one would know wtf Sir Percy Blakeney was.
I don’t think your stupid I know you stupid.
Employer do the right things and stop enabling this idiot.
Kill us dead we not bowing down to take something that we ain't sure of, I rather died.
Where the Covid experts H**itage, R**al, P**ko and the so call GOD MOVEMENT now? Before all these deaths they were loud and proud on the internet talking about “Covid not real” and “conspiracy theory”. Now we losing our brothers and sisters so they quiet. Rip to all the fallen. People wake up and smell the coffee. Go and get vaccinated. DO NOT LET THOSE 5 LUNATICS CONTINUE TO KILL US OFF! Disgrace to the human race.
This is suppose a be a place of rescue and hope NOT despair : ALL deaths are at the
Hospital
Keep y’all r**s in da house
Moreover, the other way of attaining herd immunity is a large percentage of the population contracting the virus and developing an immunity to it. The downside is that large number of people may die. A proven, safe and protective vaccine is a much better and less costly option. The VI is currently in a crisis situation but if everyone do his or her part, soon the VI would emerge on the other side in better shape. It is dark now but morning is nigh. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Be well, be safe.
The last set of people are scared people! The deaths scare them so now they running for the said vaccine they condemn. You’ll was too busy listening to Tola radio; look at all now as set of clowns. At least you’ll did the right thing!
Lot of short memories on here.
I hope you don't catch it but I also hope you give a ventilator to someone who has family if/when you do... be a man of conviction and refuse the technology. Don't be a hypocrite, die alone at home with pride.
I would if I believed the nonsense that came out of my mouth... I would be to embarrassed to be saved by one if I thought like you. Real talk!!!
AC probably isn’t beneficial for them or it’s containment and the virus didn’t spring out of thin air for all the statistics and updates there is none on the origin of this outbreak.
If the best standards are always changing and we’re following them as gospel vs using them as guidance for our locale then we’re in trouble.
Out the window went previous information about the incubation period. Vaccination should not be linked to increased freedom at the cost of spreading the virus.
However both oxford AZ and Johnson & Johnson have pledged to sell the product at cost ($2-4 a dose) but not so Pfizer and Moderna ($20 per dose)
Multiply the cost by the double dose of world vaccination numbers and a smear campaign by the profit making vaccine makers would ensure the purchase if their vaccine over the cheaper as effective one.
This is an old game
Dr Wakefield whon"researched" the link between autism and the MMR vaccine was paid by the competitor to MMR and lost his license as a result.
France and Germany held back on the issue of AZ vaccine as their own national vaccine had not reached full development.
Then some ask why the developing countries are buying 4 times their requirement? What an excellent trading chip with developing nations in exchange for...... mineral rights? Access to natural recourse?
Its business as usual and buisness is good. Just got to get that cheap vaccine off the market so they can get down to making money. How would you go about that?
I wonder
That the British invented AZ vaccine is not approved in the US is not really a surprise. US drug companies protect their own markets and the fact that AZ is one tenth their cost and sold at $2 for no profit is not going to help when Pfizer is charging $20 a pop for their (German invented ) vaccine and raking in the profits.
Father we pray for wisdom and healing . Touch all Nurses and doctors. Father we bind up all sickness and disease. Touch all the sick and restore their health. Take hold of our thoughts and guide us through these perilous times. Amen!
I hope we can show a little more empathy for all the lives lost so suddenly. Condolences to all the families .
(a) lessen your chances of getting infected and spreading it and
(b) lessen considerably your chances of getting seriously ill (if you do get infected) or winding up in the hospital
icu or the morgue
Those are proven facts. There is no evidence to support your vitamin/herbs and diet theory. By the way dehydration
is stupid, dangerous and should be avoided .Which part of your garbage heap did you dig the dehydration bit up from? Granted you are on track with your advice re social distancing, mask wearing and hand sanitising so perhaps
you are not totally crazy after all
