Why can the government refer to the UK and South Africa variant but we are not allowed to call it the China Virus?

Because your can opener is not made in South Africa.

To each their own. I think he did some things that were good but I’m not happy with the overall package.

Don't forget the Middle East thing, where eternal enemies came to reconcile their differences in the name of moving forward. This is probably the most overlooked accomplishment of his administration. It demonstrated that you can't simply say no forever, because people will eventually give up and work around you.

But yea, he was a horrible person and brought out the worst in many people, on both sides.

Apparently more are not going to either:

You should be concerned, if teh docs are balking at this crap, you should probably look at it again.

HCQ is a known cure. Simple, cheap, effective.

Sad they are trying to force vaccine that has at least a 2% negative to severe side effect for a bug with like .02% mortality rate. Clown world.

Best of luck to you all.
Quoting the opinions of the free thought project? Seems valid.
My GF is an MD at Saint Mary's Med Cntr in West Palm Beach Fl. She got Covid in December and was sick for 20 days. Needed IV fluids etc. She and all of the MDs in her group (Internal Medicine) have gotten at least the first dose.
It's hard to think that some people practicing medicine don't believe in vaccines. BTW. I just got the shingles vaccine. Sore arm is the total side effect. I'm in line for the Covid shot.

Wish you and you wife well.

Not all vaccines are created equal (Don’t get me started on the regular flu vaccine). FWIW, there are a lot of practicing physicians who support vaccines in the generic, but also have some concerns with the long term effects of the mRNA technique. It is impossible to know of any long term effects yet - it hasn’t been long enough yet. Fact.

That said, in medicine, It’s all about risk. The long term risks to my 78 y/o mother are outweighed by the risk of COVID. That is not necessarily the same for our 21 y/o son. Anti-vaxxers are fools, but each person absolutely has the right to decline this vaccine, based on their own risk assessment. I hope many people get it, but I also understand those who make an informed choice not to.

BTW, I’ve had shingles. It SUCKS. I have since had the vaccine.

My GP, (50, great health) had covid 3 months ago and he said he’d rather just die than go through that again. He had a reaction from the first vaccine shot, but said he’ll get the second without hesitation because he figures if he gets covid again (yes you can get it again) he’ll be an organ donor. To each his own though.

One of the most recent studies that followed 43000 covid survivors, at the 7 month point better than 90% still had “immunity” and the vast majority of reinfections were asymptomatic or milder than the first infection.

Your milage may vary.

He should reconsider being an organ donor. If he gets into a wreck or any life threatening situation, the medical professionals will treat him as the sacrificial lamb for the organs.

Lol this crap again? You literally have to be being kept alive by machines in order for anyone to even know that you’re an organ donor. It’s only morons like you that keep this myth going.

What does he know though, he’s just a doctor. Guess someone should tell him about APC so he can get edjumacated.
