I have a few Q friends or Telegram group acquaintances as well. They're such beautiful souls though, maybe it's the substitute for religion that's keeping them sane. I'm not going to make fun of them for having hope. They're still way better than a covidiot any day.

I think people are just sick of the black-is-better and above the law and only black people exist (commercials and Netflix recommendations) messaging. But YES, there are people who straight up post false stuff on this and other sites, and weeding out that stuff is hard. And others who post racist stuff to make us look bad. And yet others who actually harbor racist feelings. But I can't blame all or even many of them given the emphasis on "white supremacy" being the biggest social problem. If I met someone who told me they hate Asians, I wouldn't blame them. I'd be like, "Sure, you can hate Asians and I can see reasons why - covid, Chinese spying, influence in our lives, elections, etc., influence in academia, etc. - maybe you will get to like me personally, and maybe not. I wish you happiness just the same."

I recommend you do your own searches. Note that some entries are duplicates. And to find the actual technical term for something, you use the keyword area and that will bring up many entries - it's sometimes guesswork. I personally did ones for all covid vaccines on cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, and spontaneous abortion. Luckily, not many of the last type and several duplicates among them. But quite a few of the first 2 - not sure about statistics but you see descriptions of each patient's details.

Of course I sent the results of the searches to my siblings as I sent them a ton of stuff about covid recently. Zero response. You just can't reach some/many/most people.

Can't find articles that say they got the vaccine.

https://www.fox19.com/2021/02/08/nuns-die-test-positive-covid-breaks-out-monastery/

The sites that say it was from the vaccine are anti-vax sites with sometimes I believe, sometimes I don't - they cite a lot of details that look like they're from articles, but the articles they reference do NOT have those details. Annoying.

That's true. It doesn't take superhuman strength, just average male strength and superior female strength (or perhaps better training). Still, lowering military requirements to accommodate women - I don't agree with.

I met an Iraqi woman who worked for the U.S. military. She lied to her family the whole time she was working, and took great pains to get to and from her workplace - at great risk to herself and family if caught. Don't know what she did for the U.S. but I admire her greatly. She's not a big woman so it wasn't combat-related but perhaps logistics. And I agree with whippeat.

But much higher risk of seeing battle under a pro-war admin. And I can't imagine you escape service with full hearing intact and no tinnitus. Not a path for all.

Am Asian. Though I'm glad they in general keep their noses clean, work hard, don't complain, etc., am very pissed at them for being some of the most scared covidiots - I still see some wearing plastic gloves in the grocery store and being part of the outdoor mask cult. One of my brothers' families locked down hard until recently - and they live in the suburbs. Like they took a walk for the first time a month ago. F*ing hell.

They'll say it's more a more dangerous strain of covid that needs a new vaccine, not that it's the body's immunity going into overdrive because of the first vaccine - which is what people are dying of covid-19 infection of also (but pehaps a smaller portion of the population than the vaxxed population). I'm hoping I'm wrong and that the shit won't hit the fan and that maybe this will impart more immunity than a generic vaccine and won't cause irreparable harm to millions. And that we who don't take the vaccine plus those who do all benefit from a full opening of the world. Here's hoping!! Is there a God? Anybody out there? Any good guy who's super powerful who can help stop the bad guys? Anybody?

Traditional vaccines in fact are not fine, but in the grand scheme of things can in many cases be worth the side-effects and sometimes chronic illnesses that may result. Hard to tell; hard to pinpoint long-term effects - too many variables. Almost no one gets chicken pox anymore - that's an obvious economic and convenience benefit. Almost no one gets polio anymore unless they take the vaccine they rolled out in Africa that was attenuated virus that gained strength in the water supply - allegedly. I'm pretty sure there would be a LOT of people happy to take a herpes vaccine.

I myself have too much autism in my immediate and extended family that was not present in previous generations for me to be all "Stick all the kids with more and more vaccines at young ages with no limit, just keep adding more." Though autism could be caused by a number of environmental/genetic causes, I'd love to see REAL research into vaccines, which honestly, will likely never happen. There's no pressure to do so and big pharma is mighty powerful.

One 78-year-old healthy woman I know had a stroke a week after the 1st dose - never had a stroke before. It was an odd one as it resolved within 5 days. 3-4 weeks later she's still weak so she's worried. She was going to get the 2nd shot right after she left the hospital the 2nd time, but she decided after further research not to get it. An acquaintance's mom fainted/fell and had a brain bleed and broke her clavicle the day of the first shot. Some people are getting brain bleeds without trauma so that could have occurred with the fall. I figured out (from a CDC video) how to use the VAERS site. Not too many miscarriages for all covid vaccines, and some reported on VAERS who didn't think it was the vaccine. Don't know if that's because few pregnant women (thank God if true) aren't taking it or because it is indeed low-risk for the mother to take it. We still don't know what it does to the baby though. HELLO! Sadly, it's hard to convince people to reconsider getting the vaccine. And it doesn't help that the anti-vax sites that look legitimate - their articles have a number of details that seem not made up - I realized didn't cite enough independent sources - it was just some main very anti-vax sites that were references for the most part - just weird. OR it was a particular vaccine causing issues.

It seems like the Astra-Zeneca vaccine which is an adenovirus vaccine, for example, is being given to young people and a good percentage of them - their body's immune system is going into overdrive and leading to really bad symptoms (though mostly temporary I think). Honestly, we simply don't know enough about these vaccines. I can hold off on international travel indefinitely - luckily I had plenty of it in previous years - and certain things like concerts and sporting events I can manage not be sad to miss, and even domestic air travel I can kind of part with though that's SUPER inconvenient - but if they start making it that you HAVE to get vaccinated to see the doctor, go to the grocery store or restaurants, etc. that's cause for revolt.

People who don't mind the risks and deaths, esp. of the here-and-there young people, will probably just believe those sacrifices are worth it to the 10s of millions who don't die from the vaccines. I kind of get their point, but geez, wouldn't it have been great had the media AND pharma and doctors ACTUALLY used the easy, effective treatments in the office EARLY instead of leaving it to the hospitals to treat the severely ill ones and the rest of us to just kind of wallow at home and possibly suffer long-hauler symptoms? Then we wouldn't have had most of the lockdown nightmare and vaccine-worship, stupidity, suicide, anxiety, depression, isolation, and submission to authority that we had.

Can you explain the lack of blood underneath her and the fact that NO one seems to check for a wound to STOP the bleeding? There are numerous parts of the video that make the whole incident very suspicious. What is that weird black garment that sticks out 8-10" past her jeans? Why is she declared dead inside and is clearly alive outside on the stretcher? If she is declared dead, why do we not see anyone checking for a pulse? Why did no one duck when or after the shot was fired? Why are people just milling around, NOT rendering her aid?

Hahahahaha. Oh, you were serious. Well, that would be an epic turnaround. They seem to embrace dictators and socialism.

Fair. But at least my group didn't think we would necessarily get what we wanted but we'd noisily express our anger at the injustice, it was now or never. Doing nothing would be like rolling over. That it turned out the way it did was probably inevitable. Remember there had already been peaceful rallies twice after the election. This was after NOTHING seemed like it was going to happen. It was still an incredible unforgettable experience.

We no longer have the president's support - perhaps it's simply to avert more violence - we don't know, but we were extremely disappointed in his lack of leadership today. He's been playing some "You'll see" tick tock crap lately, and today was supposed to be "the day." The day for what? It was a day of bonding briefly with many others, but we were leaderless today.

We had no idea people would breach the Capitol. But the tear gas and flash bangs happened before that and got many people upset. There were all types of people there from all walks of life, with their families, etc. It began as a rally. When the breach happened, it was the police that abandoned the areas or fell back to let people in. We saw no fists or weapons against the police, and the police were very comfortable around us. They did not fear us harming them. There was no one else left in the Capitol at that point. The Congress critters had already left. The tear gas was not to stop our lack of violence. It was to just get us gone. It was used repeatedly.

Sadly this is not working for many places now, even high-end retail today I was told they don't accept any exemptions for customers. Forget staff - even harder.

Bars were allowed to open at 25% a month or two ago OR since August they've been allowed to convert to a 51% food business. But 25% is fucking nothing after this many months. 25% won't pay current rent/utilities/salaries much less back rent or all those people's mortgages, food, etc. the whole time. Still sucks, but sucks less that other places. Still can't believe the nightmare we're in. Going to D.C. to at least make a stand. From there, who knows.

Counting votes as they came in, having had a mail-in voting process in place for years helps.

Aw, man. Conflicts of interest up the wazoo. GEEZ. Poor politicians? Get rich being politicians. Rich pre-politicians get richer as politicians. They get voted out? They got rich already.
