      If it’s similar to the way it is in the States, then most are probably unvaccinated or not boosted.
      The breakthrough cases (in fully vaccinated + boosted people) are mostly demonstrating as minimal cold-like symptoms.

    The only reason there are so many cases is. people with no symptoms are testing for work,, travel or everyone's so terrified of the dreaded Covid that they're testing at slightest sniffle. Most of these positive cases are people who otherwise have just gone about their lives. And now they use the high number of cases to ramp up the fear campaign. If we just stopped the madness and stopped buying into the propaganda, this would all be over.

These vaccine that have blank inserts so that no one knows the ingredients, so that you don’t have full inform consent. These vaccines that Pfizer wants you to wait 70yrs to tell you what they injected you with. Just imagine me, imagine me just following the crowd so that I fit in.

    Atleast they’re paying attention. Seriously.

    Something isn’t right about these capitalistic vaccines that were not zookin tested. There testing them on people now.

    Yes that’s right the effort to vaccinate 8 billion persons is being done with a set of vaccines that are grossly untested and yes have caused fatalities including heart inflammation & blood clots in healthy young persons. That’s a fact by European reporting. Speaking of which anyone remember the French wanting to test the vaccines in Africa first. Well sah.

    It was first stated that older people should be vaccinated as they are at risk. Tell me why they want to vaccinate children 5 years old please explain in a way that makes sense.

    Now they realize you need two shots. Three shots next it’ll be a fourth. 8 billion doses sold to governments is not enough.

    Someone’s government is paying for them and private companies are getting rich while not solving the problem. Meanwhile it looks as if they’re paying the mainstream media for biased coverage.

    There are some serious fatal diseases out there with much higher mortality rates. Guess how many times you usually need to be vaccinated to be protected? Once. Or at most every few years as a precaution. Not every 6 months or whatever definition of fully vaccinated they’re selling us.

    Was that legible enough for you? Or did my unruly grammar cause you to miss all the meaning? understand it’s fine, this isn’t an exam. Think outside the box.

    They can change definitions of vaccine but what they need to do is change the definition of working. Cause these things are not working as intended.

    Then again... money is involved... double the dose double the profit. Triple the dose you get the idea.

    Eventually when we’re at the end of our patience, perhaps after actually testing their products for years as should be done, the final solution will hit the markets.

    Most frightening to me is this far in people keep repeating that no one gets harmed by the vaccines. It’s the same level of ignorance as saying your getting vaccinated to protect others, then walking around spreading it in bliss. That’s serious misinformation.

    Here in the VI after our month long 24/7 lockdown which worked... people saw with their own eyes and told you all that the newly privileged vaccinated were vectors for contamination. Back then if you suggested vaccines didn’t stop the spread you’d be canceled.

    Months later scientists say it’s common knowledge vaccines don’t stop the spread and yet here we are... still favoring the vaccinated spreaders, no quarantine. Duuuhhhh how you think these outbreaks are happening.

    When it does happen no one asks where it came from either. Dr George did an incredible job of beating around that bush during the last outbreak. Bravo. It’s late I’m out.
