Reasons that I won't be getting the covid vac anytime soon, (although not ruling it out entirely): #covid
1. It's investigational. Because the unapproved vaccines’ status is investigational, anyone who gets an injection (whether they realize it or not) is agreeing to participate in an ongoing experiment. 2. There's little recourse if there are serious side effects. The drug companies have no liability at all. The government agency in charge of compensation for vaccine damage has recently set the bar higher as to who qualifies. 3. The vaccine has not been shown to actually cure or prevent transmission. It basically reduces symptoms. 4. There's no proof as of yet that the protection from the vaccine is long lasting, meaning that shots may be necessary yearly similar to a flu shot. 5. I'm not entirely convinced that the virus is as dangerous as reported. I believe statistics has been skewed to make the virus look more deadly. Look at excess deaths by years lost for 2020. This is a disease that is not terribly dangerous except to the very old and compromised. 6. There is a political agenda here and politicians shouldn't be managing a pandemic. 7. There were many mistakes made in treating this virus especially in the beginning, from infecting entire facilities with infected patients, restricting various methods of treatment, over use of ventilators causing or increasing the number of deaths. 8. There is a great deal of money being made by pharmaceutical companies from their vaccinations. Very little is made using drugs that have already been approved for other uses.Thursday, February 25, 2021
No Covid Vaccine for Me

My Politics for Today - Biden Executive Orders
Is he throwing a bone to pharmaceutical companies?
The cost of insulin for low income Americans is about to go up because of Joe's executive orders stripping away price protections, and that's not all.
Joe Biden now wants statehood for Washington, The constitution frankly be damned.
Within the first 72 hours of his administration he:
Killed 70,000 jobs and ended US energy independance
Eliminated women's sports
Invaded Syria

Antifa Still At It
I really thought that the rioters in Portland and Seattle would settle down now that the Democrats have left them behind but I guess not.....at least not yet.

New Glass Ceiling for Women's Sports
On day 1, Biden unilaterally eviscerates women's sports. Any educational institution that receives federal funding must admit biologically-male athletes to women's teams, women's scholarships, etc. A new glass ceiling was just placed over girls.
Matt's take:
Lancet Hydroxychloroquine Study Retracted
How many people would have been saved if this treatment were not associated with Trump and not demonized by the pharmaceutical companies who wanted no competition for their vaccine?

Biden Presidency
This is a sad day for me. I have a lot of fears regarding this presidency. I know that a president's wish list doesn't always come to fruition. Look at Trump's wall. Anyway, here's my list:
* Mask mandate. Seems unconstitutional and don't know how it would be implemented.
* More censorship. On the plus side maybe it will open up the field to some alt-tech sites.
* Higher prices at the gas pump. Biden wants to crack down on fossil fuel production, stop fracking and pipelines. This will also increase the cost of food and other products due to transportation costs.
* Pledge to defeat domestic terrorism. Will this be a way to put people who disagree with on a 'no flight list' or prohibited from owning firearms?
* Forced vaccinations via a health passport
* Ramp up of military conflicts. Time will tell.
* Increase in illegal and legal immigration. This is not a time to increase competition for jobs when we have so much unemployment.
* Higher taxes, higher debt and inflation the ++$$trillion budget is staggering. Debt causes inflation and the higher prices. Our fixed income will be worth less.
One the other hand, I think Trump is a coward for not pardoning Julian Assange and the other whistleblowers. He pardoned many others including 2 border patrol cops who murdered an illegal who was trying to cross back to Mexico by shooting him in the back.
Luckily I have few expenses and needs. I can live with far less but mostly fear for my kids and grandkids who will inherit the debt. Hopefully, we will get through this.
