Here we go Again!

Yesterday Louisiana put a mask mandate back into effect, is this stupidity ever going to end?  Follow the science they say, then they say that vaccinated people won’t get the Delta variant.  Then it’s Delta is more transmissible, but it’s not nearly as deadly.  Indoor events are going to be cancelled again.  I’m starting to think that some of these politicians won’t stop until they bankrupt this country. 

Hate to think what other states are going to be doing in the next couple of days.

I arrived in the office today to find the company put a mandatory mask mandate for all employees.  Hopefully, this will blow over soon and we can all go back to as close to normal as possible.

Last year I heard Dr. Oz on the radio. He said “When politics and medicine are combined, politics always wins.”

The same goes for pretty much anything. I am pretty sure he is also the one I heard say that wearing a mask, even an N95 mask is like using a chain link fence to keep bees out.

McDonalds just put out an edict that requires all employees and customers to wear masks in their establishments. :angry: 

 

Guess its a good thing I don't eat there any more.

Local chain grocery store here just put up mandatory mask signs again. Inside maybe 5% of customers were wearing masks. We'll see how this changes over the next week or so, if it does.

Wal Mart and Target also put on mask mandates for everyone according to what I heard on the news.:angry:

The powers that be WILL NOT STOP untill everyone gets a needle in their arm. They as much say so.

The ONLY way it will stop will be when WE stop complying.

If you choose to comply, that is your choice...

This is not meant to be start of an argument, because frankly, I'm weary of argueing.

So far NM is not FORCING masks at this time. By this afternoon, once someone wakes up and sees that other states are...she will probably jump on the train. Sigh.

They are ramping this up in order to distract us from the border fiasco and the looming hyper-inflation.  

(Shhhhhh . . . no politics!)

I don't think hyper- inflation is looming. I think it's crashed down upon our heads and we're living it.

If you want a little history lesson on vaccines and government mandates check this out:

I didn't post this to start an argument. I posted it so that folks can see that getting one's blood pressure up over this stuff is doing you no good. There is historic precedent and the bastages in government know it.

They don't want normal. This is the new normal. They're using the dummies in corporate to do what they can't do. They don't want this to be over. When the "delta" runs it's course, they'll pick another letter. The CDC themselves said the current test can't tell the difference between covid and flu. So how does it magically detect delta or anything else? If the test is crap, and since they have been pushing breaktrhough infections (latest one was Senator Graham came down with "flu-like symptoms" and he's had the vax) and hyping the blah blah, is it any wonder their vax rates dropped like a rock? Gotta wonder about their motives.

After losing my younger son's FIL, my next door neighbor's husband, and my SIL from possible side effects to it. I'm a little more receptive to a little prevention. Don't really like wearing them, but, I'll do what is nessecery or required.:(:blink::blush:

And you should, without scorn, if you choose to do so.

I have one friend that Covid exasperated her Diabetes...and she sucumbed to it.

I still dissagree that Covid caused her death...any severe illness would have exasperated it...she died foremost because she had Diabetes. (She was 100% Navajo...lived on the reservation, wich has many obsticles...wich is why the Navajo Nation was hit hard by this. They are hit hard for decades with diabetes, alcahol, drug problems...well before this added issue)

My eldest daughter has had mild health issues from wearing masks required at work.

Our aunt passed a week after her 2nd shot from a bloodclot. Was it because of the vax? Will never know.

Is it worth the chance?

It is all up to personal choice to me...I will respect your choice.

I pray you respect mine:wub:

If the vaccination works, like the government says it will, then whether I get one or not, won't matter. 

If the vaccination doesn't work, like the government says it will, then whether I get one or not, won't matter.

 

I would like to see what the short, and then the long term effects, of this vaccine, could be. I am not inclined to take something they spent weeks developing, instead of years, without some more research, and study, on my part. My health decisions are, ultimately, up to me, not anyone else...so far. 

I know that goes against the grain of the socialists/leftists. Tough S....tuff!!! 

 

I was in the military (Navy), and had a top-secret clearance, so from my own personal experiences, I do not trust the government, on any level, as far as I can throw a bull by the tail.

 

I have no problem with those that have enough faith, and trust, to take the vaccine, right out of the gate. They made that decision, based on what they believed to be the correct thing to do. That's called living in a free country.  

 

So far...we are still free to choose. The operative words here are: "so far".

 

As far as the masks are concerned...

To quote my grand-dad....that virus will go through that mask..."like a dose of salts through a widow woman!".  

 

My Two Bits.

They probably have warehouses full of mask to get rid of.  Wasn't that long ago they had a huge bin full for 50c ea. Disinfectant and hand sanitizer marked way down.

This is why restaurants are having so much trouble hiring new people to replace the ones they had to let go last year. Who wants to go work there when the idiotic government is going to force everyone into a mandatory lockdown all over again?

My daughter can't get why they, the employees, who are working looooonnnng hours, hot and weary, having to wear masks for hours on end...while the customer does not.

I feel she has the good point of it adding to the work force shortage in service industry.

Apparently, here in NM schools are going to enforce NM's "if you're not vaxed, you must mask" rule.

Now...I ask you how teachers are going to keep masks on kids when their fellow students don't wear one??

How will they knkw who is and who isn't???

A big NV (no vax) letter on their shirt???

I hate my grandbabies have to endure this.

Sweetie, if God is carrying you through the fight with cancer...the rest is nothing to fear.

Prayers up!!!

I reckon that's why a lot of folks, around here, are choosing to home school. Not everyone can do it, but many are going to try.

 

Ultimately this seems to be boiling down to one thing...control. 

 

I ain't worried about it. I am a geezer now, and at the jumpin' off place...and I have read the end of the Bible, so I know how things turn out.

We win, they lose. 

 

Having said that, all of us will have to go through a lot of valleys, before we reach the mountain top. That's just life in an imperfect world.

 

Remember, we are free Americans, and early on, George Washington was reported to have said that: Americans had rather die on their feet, than live on their knees.

Time will tell if that saying still holds up.

I've got a good friend that tells of a coworker of his daughter,  woman about 30yo and good health,  dying within hours of a blood clout after taking the second shot.  Doing research,  there seems to be a connection with the shot and the pill.  But this has been downplayed or dismissed as not a factor.

This reminds me of the book we read in school, called "The Scarlet Letter", where the lady had to wear a big letter on her clothing to inform everyone of her less-than-perfect life. Will our kids, or will we, have to start wearing a letter on our clothing to indicate whether we have been vaccinated or not?

This also reminds me of nazi Germany, making the Jewish people wear a Star of David to identify them for later deportation/execution. 

 

The future sure ain't what it used to be!!!

It is possible that blood clots after the 2nd shot is not a spurious correlation.  Blood clots are a complication from Covid infections.  The 1st shot conditions your immune system to react to the Covid virus.  I doubt that the vaccine mfg's or the CDC will investigate the cause of these anecdotal incidents because they don't want to require warning labels.  I got vaccinated in Feb March before there was any serious or fatal reactions reported.  Being 74 I was scared witless of a Covid infection so I would have lined up for the vaccines even with the current info.
