    Of course. I refuse to give those idiots the pleasure of listing every vax I've had not only as a child, but since I hit my mid 50s (starting with both versions of the shingles shot.) Ain't nobody's business but mine.

    Things I read make me even more glad I'm an obstinate S.O.B. And all those poor children who have no say-so.

    I understand the Mandate was declared "Grossly Unconstitutional" by the 5th circuit this morning, so it may be a dead deal unless the SCOTUS takes it up. I also read that the USPS now has (temporarily) a competitive advantage since UPS, FedEx, and DHL all fall under the mandate, but the Postal Service is exempt. Ironic, huh?

    On the subject of vaccines and mandates, did anyone else catch this bit of new?

    Dr. Fauci on Sunday told CBS “Sunday Morning” senior contributor Ted Koppel that there’s a “misplaced perception” about people’s rights superseding “societal safety.”
    Several thoughts about that statement come to mind:
    1. Reminds me of the socialist/communist countries I saw (first hand) during the height of the cold war.
    2. Smacks a bit of people being conditioned to view their freedom as being selfish.
    3. It would seem the idea of "my body, my choice" has gone to the back of the socialist bus.
    4. Fight it now or live with it later.
    5. "Societal safety" ranks right up their with "the common good" as a threat to capitalism, private enterprise and personal freedon.
    6. Where exactly is the "stupid party" on this issue and why do they seem to have their heads in the sand?

    The Democrats are the enemy, but the Republicans are collaborators.

    Your natural immunity is 99.998 against the covid they claim these vaccines 90% effeminacy and decreases over time that you need a booster. Your over all immunity decreases with the vaccine. Your natural immunity without vaccine stays the same. Even against the variants.

    I believe that CDC employees are exempt too, whether officially or in practice, I don't know, because the CDC spokesperson refused to answer that question while testifying in the Senate. However, he did say that non-vaccinated CDC employees are required to work from home and that more than 70% of CDC employees are working from home. Perhaps they know something they don't want us to know.

    As far as I can determine, all Federal employees are exempt and only private employees were affected, but I think that is all off the table now unless Biden takes it to the SCOTUS.

    I want to know how long the "need another booster" thing will go on before people begin to wake up and wonder why they are bothering. I was going to get the vaccine a couple of months ago but didn't, and now it seems those early vaccine adapters aren't any better off than I am.

    My friends still in the industry tell me that most of the hospitalized people are fully vaxxed (if there is such a thing now) despite what has been published. Only their word on it though. I think there will be vaccination booster every six months for the foreseeable future.

    Son has just about fully recovered on bedrest alone. Wife and I have not exhibited any symptoms so far. As far as I know, daughter-in-law is fine too. Son was planning to get the antibodies if he got sick, but decided he didn't need anything. If we don't get sick by Sunday, I think we will be past the danger, but only time will tell for sure. I have wondered if I already had Covid but didn't notice it. I didn't get the antibody test, as I know they can be misleading if you are negative.

    At the time just before COVID was becoming a thing, someone from Millinocket (where I live) returned here from China, and later tested positive for COVID. I don't know if he was sick or not, or what the outcomes were, except that, if he had died, we'd have heard of it. As he was a part of my wife's recovery center, she and others at the center hugged him when he returned, and he came into contact with a whole lot of people in town, but no one else came down with it from that contact.
