6 minute video on the DoD version of VAERS.... only a military medical dr can input these results.   STAGGERING!

If you ask me (no one is) it was worth it to eradicate the virus and increase our military readiness. Oh well for everyone else. (Sarcasm for anti science’ers benefit)

You can stand by and do nothing.   Let’s ignore all information and wait for our “leaders” and media to give us the thoughts we should have.

Many of you have seen the topic of the recent F35 crash being discussed, along with statements supposedly made by the pilot right before he ejected that he was having chest pains.  As skeptical of everything that has to do with the vaccine as I am, even I thought the reporting on this was BS hyperbole.  Until about 30 minutes ago, that is. . .  I commanded an F/A-18 squadron in the 2007-2010 time frame, and a good friend of mine who was also a Hornet squadron commander and Airboss afterwards just called to tell me that he heard the unedited PLAT tape with his own ears, and before ejecting the pilots says: "I'm experiencing sudden and intense chest pain as if someone hit me in the chest with a baseball bat. ing vaccine!"  Again - even though I'd seen reporting along these lines over a week ago, I discounted it as BS.  But it's not. . .  UFB!
 

 

anyone see this?

   Made up, or some truth?

Smells funny. Like Indian food and diapers.

Just like Newsom (CA Gov) who was at the Rams/Niners game without his mask on…plenty of other examples of hypocrisy from the left when it comes to stupid covid measures.

F*cking hypocrites. It is a shame that such an amazing place to live (CA) has been turned into this terrible state due to leftist policies that idiots guided (I'm assuming) solely by their emotions, enact. 

Thank God the CA universal healthcare didn't make it through...

... Until next year.

It’s either a just a virtue signal.  Or this is malicious compliance.  Possibly both.

While ridiculous, it's no more ridiculous than the people I see on a daily basis wearing masks outside by themselves. 

My favorite is the people riding bikes or,  ...I saw this a couple weeks ago...., SKIING while wearing a surgical mask.  --"Tell me you have a mental disorder without telling me you have a mental disorder."

It's no more ridiculous than the kid I saw at my son's baseball game two nights ago wearing an N95 while playing CENTER FIELD.  His dad said he wished his son would take off his mask, at least outside, but that "he doesn't feel safe without his mask."  Holy $hit.

It's no more ridiculous than my kids still being mandated to wear cloth masks all day in school, when the CDC has finally admitted (what anyone with a brain knew all along) that cloth masks do nothing.

I wouldn’t do any of those things, and I’m against mandates. But who cares if someone wants to wear a mask on their own? I saw it all the time in Japan pre-pandemic and no one cared. I don’t understand the rage it causes. Just like I don’t understand the rage not wearing a mask causes. 
 

Why can’t people just do what they want?

Agree 100%.  It is fundamentally about the mandates.  The rage is because people cannot just do what they want.

We're supposed to, stupidly and for no reason at this point, wear a mask on base.

My kids, likewise, are forced to wear one at school for no reason. 

As soon as the mandates go away, I'm good.  Other people can wear whatever they want.  I know many people will, while ironically claiming to "follow the science," continue masking no matter what.  That's fine.  Just leave me out of it.

My story about the kid in center field is just to highlight the mental impact.  Billy can do whatever he wants.  I just find it sad, and an indication of the larger problem that all the people chanting "it's just a mask, what's the big deal???" aren't understanding.  Billy is wearing a mask because he's developed an irrational fear.  Nothing I can do about it at this point, except advocate for lifting of the mandates so more kids don't think they need a mask... while outside.... and while double vaccinated.... and while healthy with no underlying conditions.

For the people wearing cloth or surgical masks that still think it offers them protection, I actually like it.  It let's me know right away that they're really stupid.  Goes with the "...here's your sign" skit.  So I'm oddly in favor of that sort of self identification continuing.

Except, you were literally just complaining about other people's independent decisions.

"My favorite is the people riding bikes or, ...I saw this a couple weeks ago...., SKIING while wearing a surgical mask. "

Like MCO said, people in Japan have been wearing masks in public long before covid. You're complaining about mandates - yet you seem to feel pretty strongly about what choices other people make for themselves. Odd.

Your first and third paragraphs assert two different things.  The latter is close to correct, just replace "yet" with "and"

I am complaining about mandates, absolutely.

I am not complaining about people wearing surgical masks skiing, biking, etc.  (In fact, I said I was oddly in favor of it.)

People were reacting to the picture of the band member with the hole in her mask, and I felt like pointing out that there are many common examples of mask practices that are equally insane, despite not having a literal hole in the mask.

Does that mean I "feel pretty strongly about what choices other people make for themselves?"  Sure.  I have opinions.  Everyone does.  You'll notice, however, that I never suggest that my opinion means anyone else has to be mandated to do something.  In fact, I wrote "Other people can wear whatever they want."

Personally, had chest pains for three weeks after first shot.

Or the people that take pictures in masks and make it their profile pic.  No one cares about your virtual signaling.

Well when there’s nothing else that meaningful in your life (friends, family/kids, important hobbies, etc), then many post whatever makes them feel good about themselves…sadly wearing a mask (and showing others that they do) brings a sense of meaning to their lives for those on the left.  They’re basically miserable and that’s a shame.
