Now this is not what the hysterics are saying...
Despite media claims that “We Can’t Turn the Corner on COVID,” the numbers of COVID-19 cases, new hospitalizations, and deaths nationwide peaked and started to decline around the beginning of September. The combination of this milestone, new findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing widespread levels of vaccination and natural immunity, and improved availability of treatments suggests that, outside of isolated pockets, COVID-19 is likely to become a diminishing health risk in the United States.
The CDC looked for evidence of prior infection or vaccination in the blood of approximately 1.5 million blood donors from around the country between July 2020 and May 2021. Based on the antibodies found in the specimens, they were able to distinguish between those who had been vaccinated and those with antibodies resulting from infection. As of the end of May, the combined vaccine and infection seroprevalence (indicating the proportion of the population with antibodies and some level of immune protection) was 83 percent for those 16 and older (children under 16 can’t donate blood). Over 20 percent had antibodies indicating an earlier infection and recovery. Based on the infection-induced seroprevalence, the researchers estimated that there were actually 2.1 infections per reported COVID-19 case.

I find it funny that other countries are lifting mandates and now not requiring vaccine passports. I am happy that folks are waking up to the fact that this has largely been a lie on the face of those on the left. They continue pushing their fear mongering and I have a feeling it's going to blow up in their faces come mid-term elections.

I dont think its really a left or right issue. We have a weaponized media that pushes what benefits their own interests. As they say nothing sells like bad news. Our fellow citizens on the left of the political spectrum are victims of this, not our enemies.

SSG (Join to see) - The media continues destroying anyone with a conservative mindset/viewpoint. They do not cover any negative press on liberal and progressive politicians and have for quite some time - only problem is that it's getting worse. I long for the day where we have unbiased news coverage regardless of what political party someone supports or is a part of.

The medical emergency was over this past summer. The economic emergency is just beginning from the policies the Progressive Socialist Democrats are trying to push down our throats. gat at $3 to $5 per gallon, construction materials prices through the roof, etc. They keep printing free money and we are going to be in some serious trouble.

SSG Samuel Kermon - And it will affect the poorest, least able to defend themselves in our population; that's usually what Progressive Socialist Democrats do.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2780557 Gives more information on the subject of re-infection after coming down with COVID. The unknown is going to be the variants and what immunity we have against them.
