I'm not afraid of covid, but I'm afraid of the Covid cultists who want to destroy my ability to earn a living and shut me out of society for making a medical decision. I wish people would just mind their business. The funny thing is people who think anti vaxers will die en mass, people who think the danger of covid is orders of magnitude worse than it actualy is. You do know that young and healthy unvaccined people are at less risk than old vaccinated people with comorbidities right? Go get your boosters and let me be, please.
mods please temp ban us for arguing about covid instead of riding our bikes, thanks.

House update:
Rot is not overwhelming and amenable to fairly minor surgery so far. We will have, at least, vapor barrier and underlayment throughout by the weekend, and maybe one elevation sided.

I will say one last thing about this after I tried to change the subject.
So my flight surgeon who is a doctor has given me interesting advice during this ordeal.
When covid first started, he informed me to stay home, not to go to work because it will kill me.
When the vaccine first came out he told me to get the vaccine because covid was going to kill me.
Now he tells me not to get the vaccine because the vaccine could cause me harm.
He is my doctor. That would make him qualified correct? Or because he has a different view than you he doesn’t count?

Not sure if you are aware of this but the outside of your house is missing siding.
Thank me later.

complications from the moderna vaccine. From what her husband told me, a day after she was vaccinated she immediately had a fever. He called the doctors office and they informed him if it didn’t break after a couple days to call back. The fever broke but she was bed ridden with aches and pains. He called multiple times wanting to bring her back but they insisted not to worry about it.
They have a side buisness that they can both do while they are at work. He is a pilot as well.
Story goes he was in Charlotte and had to fly to Champaign Illinois’s. He talked to her in Charlotte and she was fine, he flew to Champaign and when he landed noticed she wasn’t answering her work correspondence. He started calling her and she wouldn’t respond. He sent a neighbor over and she was dead on the floor. Only mention the departure and destination becuase it was only about 90 mins between the time he talked to her and when he tried to reach her again.
I think it was 2 weeks after she got it. This was around last Feb/ March time.

I was gonna get 20 miles in, but decided I was too tired after 10 hours work. So I just rode over to the local 19th hole for a cold one.

Polio has been nearly eradicated world wide due to an available vaccine. Nobody objects to that vaccine. The same is true with smallpox. I would like to see the same thing happen to COVID.
I don’t expect to see or want to see those who refuse to get the vax die en mass or at all. I’m just not going to lose much sleep over those that do. That includes my two brothers who aren’t going to let anyone tell them what to do.

My mom won a car back in 1997. She didn’t even know she was entered in a contest. She almost didn’t take it. The idea of paying taxes on it wasn’t something she wanted to pay for. Especially since we had 2 1990 volvo station wagons that ran sometimes.

I won a really nice thing we can’t talk about. The drawing was actually held at my house. That was the start of my sporting clay hobby.

Personally, I'm going to pay a lot more attention to the opinions and information from the bike-riding* medical doctors in this thread for guidance on COVID-relates issues.

I won a signed copy of a John Lee Hooker CD from a radio station. The fact that it was a CD will tell you that this wasn't recent.

You got it backwards shirtless dude. I want people to get the vax so they don’t die, so businesses can stay open and thrive (including mine), so people can go to work and make money, so our hospitals are not overwhelmed, and so I can go out in public and enjoy shopping, museums, dining out and everything else the world has to offer. My business has been impacted by infection rates and shutdowns to the tune of 30-40% revenue reductions each of the last two years, and I would like to see this year be a return to more “normal” levels.
Polio has been nearly eradicated world wide due to an available vaccine. Nobody objects to that vaccine. The same is true with smallpox. I would like to see the same thing happen to COVID.
I don’t expect to see or want to see those who refuse to get the vax die en mass or at all. I’m just not going to lose much sleep over those that do. That includes my two brothers who aren’t going to let anyone tell them what to do.

Honestly man I don't blame you for your views. The powers that be did a very good job of convincing people that this is the case. I hope you know that if you ever wake up and realize it's the government holding you hostage, not the unvaccinated, that we will accept you with open arms.
