    COVID, as it relates, closed itself out.

    The Spanish flu of 1918 killed millions, but now, over a century later, it's nothing to be feared. This is because the virus has evolved into a milder form, which rarely kills the host. This is a normal course of evolution, because a virus that kills its host is at a disadvantage; a form that reproduces in the host without killing it or making it sick is favored by natural selection, and eventually supplants the more deadly strains. This is what was predicted by experts, and it has mostly come to pass.

    Of course the deadly strains still exist, and will continue to cause illness and death until they are eradicated by quarantine and vaccines, but they are becoming rarer and rarer.

    No one can predict how deadly a strain of virus can be; it's really just an unlucky accident. It may be fairly benign in the original host, but when it crosses over to humans, it's much more deadly.

    Although covid was briefly the largest cause of deaths, it has long since faded into the background. Unfortunately, the deadly strains will be with us for much longer than necessary due to the hysteria of anti-vaccination idiots.

    Isn't Vit D the one the body makes when exposed to sunlight? I can see why that wouldn't be water soluble .... it would boil and evaporate ;):ROFLMAO:

    Covid still kills, just there are less and less anti vaxxers left to kill ..... Those that can understand logic and are not prone to mass hysteria, have had the shots and could well have suffered a dose of Covid and not known, the reaction becomes so minor once the body understands what it is that it's fighting.

    It wasn't the Covid virus that killed, it was, and still is, the bodies over reaction and throwing everything it has in medicine bag of possible ways to beat it, at it .... The body just can't handle the onslaught if it hasn't had similar viruses to counteract recently.

    I'd imagine the anti vaxxers would also be anti the Antiviral medications ...... or are they like the claimed Atheists, who ask for God to save them the moment they think their life is in danger and pray frantically to something they didn't believe in when all was going well :rolleyes:

    Not a snowballs chance in Hades! We are done with any mRNA jabs for the time being....not even getting this years flu jabs because they use it.

    Regular exercise, eating healthy, and taking multi-vitamins to give a boost to the best protection the Lord God Almighty gave us, the immune system!

    Checking statistics, the most common death causes were not political alignment or being against vaccinations, it was people that were old, circulatory issues, fat people, asthmatic, comorbidities etc.
    When the virus first arrived from china, the better ½ & I were in our 60s. Her health is poor & so she got very sick - just as though she had the flu. In contrast, if it weren't for Red Cross checking for immunities, I'd have never known that I ever even had the virus (never got this jab - but every other vaccination - yes) . But everybody's free to pass along their own reality - now that the state no longer cancels opposing viewpoints Ah la Zuckerberg admitting being strong armed by the FBI to shut down opposing viewpoints of the party that claims to be all about free speech & science

    Jab fans - the "proponents of science" were remiss to discuss suicide rates, Elementary School (least likely to get sick) scores in the toilet & drug abuse increasing when they insisted everyone isolate.

    Fear and ignorance alone don't create dangers.

    There are many viewpoints and interpretation of scientific facts or "alternative facts" as the current administration coined it. Didn't have to dig too hard for this one.....

    Slay News - Bias and Credibility - Media Bias/Fact Check

    I try to respect everyone's viewpoints, because that's the only way we learn. Closing yourself off from other viewpoints just places yourself into a self-fulfilling echo-chamber.

    Peace.....

    Anyone with a particle of common sense knows that medical science has saved millions of lives.
    The types of people who search the internet with confirmation bias, finding what they're looking for need to be ignored and dismissed.

    I know someone who won’t go to a doctor to treat her sinus infection … that she complains about. Her choice but no sympathy from me.

    My late wife had chronic sinus infections due to her first husband breaking her nose twice. When we moved to Huntsville and she became just a loving house-wife, she got the surgery and relief.

    One beautiful aspect of science is that it's ever-changing and to say something is "settled science" is a misnomer. Of course medical science, generally, has saved millions of lives but, of course, there's been grossly inaccurate "medical" procedures that did more harm than good. (Blood letting and mercury treatments come to mind.)

    There's many documented medical reports of injuries directly from the covid injections called Vaccine-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) and doctors are troubled that, unlike "long covid" the victims don't seem to be getting better.

    Still willing to get the jab? You can have mine.....no thanks...
