RE:RE:RE:RE:YOU WILL TAKE THE VACCINEAn additional million souls is quite a few.
I haven't lived "locked-down". I have spent the past year still doing things as best I could, "like the old days" before Covid. My entire household the same. Out every day, intereacting with who ever wanted to.
But mRNA makes your immune system stronger. That's its purpose. If we could have had access to it 6 months earlier we would be 6 month ahead right now. Hard not to realize that vaccinations have helped, the data exists.
The great reset? Global warming? Those are big topics. My opinion, its human nature to think we are so important to this planet that our actions control it.
Just my humble opinion, worth nothing.
Is it fair to lock down seniors that might have 12 months left, away from their friends and family? No...they made it to a ripe old age without any help, let them make their own choices.
Would I rather there was no lockdown, yes. Do I understand the politicians trying to prove they are saving the lives of voters, yes.
Good day here, positive swing on low volume. Cool may have a POP day yet.
Revive is doing well in its sector, staying up with the best of them while many are stagnant. When the Psyk turns this will see 90 again.
again, my humble opinion.

Maybe 1 million, and 90% would have been those that died would not have made it to 2022 anyways, and the Herd Immunity would have been achieved, and everyone's Immune Systems would have been so much stronger, to withstand and fight off the next mutation, and the next pandemic of a different virus, maybe Ebola. Right now we have children and young people under 50, wearing masks and using sanitizer for a year and killing their Immune Systems. We are no longer prepared for the next big Vrus event, and because of this response, millions and millions more will die from the next one, like I said, maybe Ebola, or similar, taking out mostly the young. It is possible we have killed our own children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. The point is, we don't know the damage we have caused, no one does - Maybe none, maybe catastrophic, but a dangerous Trial Run. As I said back in February 2020, the only thing Governments should do is ramp up production of PPE like masks, etc., and of Ventilators, in case they are needed, protect the vulnerable and aged, especially in LTC Homes, and and those with other Health problems, and let everyone else live life as normal as possible. There is more at work here than COVID - think Great Reset, and saving the Planet fromGlobal Warming, another possible false narrative.

If not for locking down and slowing the spread the rate of death would have been greater. Maybe just one or 2% but that would equate to about 3.5 million more lives lost in North America alone. Since you are making a comparison to WW2, a million US lives were lost in that conflict.
Locking down did save lives.
mRNA is an advancement in our lifetime that should not be overlooked, it will aid in the logevity of many of us.
I do udnerstand your position, we can compare notes in 10-20 years if we are both still kicking stones.

The FDA won't even have enough data to rule on Approval or Rejection of any of the Vaccines until approx mid 2022 to early 2023. As far as I know, not one of the BigPharma companies has even filed their BLA asking for Approval. All we have is an experimental drug (several) that, due to extenuating circumstances, has been "approved for emergency use only", mostly because of the MSM media and Social Media hype. I am 64 and asthmatic, and I will not take it until it is actually approved by the FDA, if then. Those dying are 99% above 75 years old with many co-morbidities. Our parents and grandparents at 18 to 35 years old, went to war and stormed the beaches of Normandy with about a 25% chance of survival, and we can't go to war against this virus with at least a 99% survival average between 18 - 70 years old. It's beyond comprehension that we have destroyed some many lives by our response to the virus - you have to look at the big picture - the jobs lost, the young lives financially destroyed, the early deaths of younger people from delayed Cancer diagnosis due to postponed/cancelled appointments, tests, and procedures, the early deaths of younger people from heart attacks due to postponed/cancelled appointments, tests, and procedures, and on and on it goes. We are financially destroying at least 3-4 generations below us, to try and save a few Boomers like myself who likely had less than 1-20 years left anyways, most who are dying would not have made it thru 2021 if COVID never came to us. No one knows, and I mean no one, as there is no long term data, what these "vaccines" are doing to sperm, eggs, embryos, fetuses, reproductive ability, etc. Anyone under 50 who is healthy, and is getting either vaccine, and supports lockdowns, is just a coward as I see it, and is not concerned about future human reproduction. The Lockdowns are sacrificing the lives of much younger people, for Boomers to gain a few weeks or months or years in the latter part of their lives. What's wrong with taking one for the Team? I think History, 10-20 years out, will show that government response to this Virus, has been the biggest crime perpetrated upon the human race in recorded history.
