    "Agreed, facts are useful, like this CDC analysis stating that the numbers from VAERS amount to 0.0017% mortality rate after taking the vaccine, vs >1% after getting covid without the vaccine. Very useful, thanks for pointing that out Jim. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...se-events.html"

    come on, the CDC is just another government agency......... How many time already, has the CDC changed what they said? has anyone noticed that the flu, has all but disappeared?? and replaced with something with the same symtoms? LOL If someone wants to get the jab, more power to them, if you dont, more power to you.. Im over all these "scare tactics" BS and lies.

    I have totally noticed the flu has all but disappeared since COVID has come in. Also, when the wolves come in the rabbits seem to go away, and when the weeds come in my grass disappears. No idea what to make of it though. Probably the guvment.

    1) I'm sorry to Tom for the loss of your friend. In retrospect, it was crass of me to ask the question (only) (what was the cause) w/o offering the courtesy. The question was true, though I should have been more wholesome and polite in my post.


    2) Extended family amputation issue is confirmed - below the knee amputation - likely to happen Wed or Thurs. Two points 1) is it CONCLUSIVE it is due to the vaccine - possibly not, thus it'll likely not be put down as such. Does family quite reasonably feel it IS due to the vaccine, soundly, yes. 2) Family (medically trained) spoke with a classmate who is currently working in the field - the comment came back - there are MANY amputations happening, caused by blood clots. Will those be listed as conclusive due to one of the current vaccines - who knows.

    Bottom line, in my posts, I wish to present information that is "not-mainstream" of events that are happening. I simply wish to at least crack an eyelid of any who might be firmly in one camp to consider other issues. Discussion, two way, can be fruitful. Am I saying you're wrong (said to no member in particular), no. Am I saying I'm right - certainly not (and I trust my prior posts fall under this umbrella - call me out if otherwise).

    Do I believe main stream media is slanted (pro vaccine / quashing alternative information), yes. Is all alternative information valid - no. Is all main-stream information valid - no. In all cases we need to filter to what is credible.

    In all, pro/con, the big ball is a numbers issue - odds. What are the odds of being infected? What are the odds of having issues with a vaccine? Each of us has to make that decision, personally.


    3) Who knows if I'll make another post in the thread - I'm heading into no-cell-zone land. I trust posts will stay civil - as they have been (mostly). I will drop this thought into the thread (and if anyone wishes to mull the topic - start a new thread [possibly in Members Only] or PM the Forum Admin)... Should the Forum Admin remove (now and in the future) posts / threads that dance on the no-politics/religion theme - controversial threads? No member (or un-registered visitor) has sent a message to me (ID Jim or Forum Admin) that this (or other recent) posts/threads should be reviewed. I've considered creating a poll to have the wider audience give input on the thought.

    My back forth (personally) is that getting to know each other more completely can be positive. A flip side is that while some similarities are then known some differences are also known. Is the more complete relationship ending up as burdensome baggage when shaking hands and chatting at a trail run? I imagine we'll have views spanning the spectrum on this last point - though it ties right in with should potentially controversial discussions be allowed?

    g'night, sleep-tight.

    Thanks. A M-I-L of family. High 70's / mid 80's is my guess as to age. Getting used to a prosthetic later in life (though fortunately, lower leg, which I'd think/hope would be easier to deal with). Ranch house though washer/dryer are in the basement - living alone. Unknown how long they'll be able to stay home. Concerns of where to live likely has not been discussed. Change - and this list of things that need to change is going to be decently sized and immediate. Family (me included) are available and willing to help. Family is a fantastic resource to have at hand.

    "Do you think we are all blind? Are you? I don't understand how you could see so many dead and say yep, I read on a hokey website someone with one html class put up last week that it's pretty much like the flu. Has every government in the world started vaccinating people and shutting down because of something that is the same survival rate as the flu? Or is the same hidden hand of the secret world government that really controls all of their governments and their versions of the FDA telling them all to do the same thing?"

    I have learned over the past year, some people live in very small worlds compared to others. I guess if it's not directly in your face and you and your family or friends haven't been directly negatively impacted or seen people die, it's easy to ignore and chalk up to some kind of conspiracy propaganda, I am not so fortunate.

    I think some people also just blindly follow what they're told they should believe.... be it political or religious, or maybe socially driven by family and friends to believe something so obviously stupid... I'm not smart enough to think "I know the truth" but I am smart enough to think "you don't know it either";-)

    That tends to cut both ways and more, unfortunately.

    There's way too many groups of all kinds telling everyone what they want to hear and way too many people of all kinds blindly following their chosen propaganda. And yes, I am just as guilty as everyone else.

    anyone remember the two guys racing bikes in Florida doing about 125 mph, crashed and one died on scene?? his death was ruled "covid" Are the death numbers true? the number of people cieing from the flu this year has pretty much at zero, strange.

    "anyone remember the two guys racing bikes in Florida doing about 125 mph, crashed and one died on scene?? his death was ruled "covid""

    This past July, Fox 35 Orlando reported that "a person who died in a motorcycle accident was added to Florida’s COVID-19 death count." In an updated story, they say their investigation led to another investigation, and that the death was ultimately removed from the county's COVID-19 death totals.

    Verify researchers spoke on the phone with a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Health in Orange County.

    They told us the death was initially recorded as a COVID-19 death after the victim tested positive. After the medical examiner and epidemiologist reviewed the death, they say they removed it from the COVID fatality list.

    That's how science works, when new evidence is discovered or new information is brought to light new determinations are made. This is the ability to adapt and learn with the information available at the time.


    4runner.Ric previously posted:

    Shane sarcastically answered this already but I guess you didn't catch it. You do understand that social distancing, a global pandemic lockdown and people wearing masks to reduce the spread of coronavirus would also all contribute to reducing the spread of other diseases, colds, viruses? Not to mention how much more people were sanitizing their hands and surfaces, or children not going to schools, or people not going to workplaces etc etc etc.




    Just please stop dude, this isn't Facebook or parler. It's not helping anyone.

    I lost a cousin to Covid. I have a 14 yr- old niece who was a normal, healthy girl who now has a heart condition thanks to Covid. They say she's a "long hauler". I work with a couple people who spent more than a month on ventilators. They are only in their 20's and 30's. Many others who were infected took months before they felt "well" again.

    My family and I are now fully vaccinated but will continue to wear masks in public places because quite frankly, we don't trust "the honor system". The masks helped keep the flu and other illnesses from infecting us all of this past year. That's not rocket science. Covid may have the same symptoms as the flu, but it is not it is not the flu. Deniers can deny all they want if it makes them feel better but I do believe they are contributing to the problem in a major way.

    Science. Learn something new today.

    I found it curious that "other" treatment and preventative options (some with a long history of being safe) have gone un-promoted to general society. It seems I'm not the only one:

    www.lifesitenews.com/news/tens-of-thousands-of-lives-could-have-been-saved-if-research-on-covid-treatments-hadnt-been-suppressed-doctors-and-economists-say

    Tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if research on COVID treatments hadn’t been suppressed, doctors and economists say

    The government’s 'near complete' lack of guidance and research on treatment options — 'apart from vaccines' — is 'unconscionable,' said University of Wisconsin critical care specialist Dr. Pierre Kory.

    Consider the source.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LifeSiteNews

    LifeSiteNews is a Canadian far-right anti-abortion advocacy and news publication. A Catholic publication, many of its articles are faith-related. LifeSiteNews has published misleading information and conspiracy theories, and in 2021 was banned from some social media platforms for spreading COVID-19 misinformation

    And one could readily counter the bias that Wikipedia promotes...

    It also looks to be a re-post from ChildrensHeathDefense.org - are they fitting to the likes of Wikipedia's bias?
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...id-treatments/

    The article contains references to several persons in the medical field - not simply an opinion piece. Read and decide on the merits of the article, not on the bias of an outside organization.
