    According to a citation issued with a lawsuit in Israel over the vaccine and the virus, Bill Gates has not been vaccinated. The quote attributed to him was, "There is no hurry for me."

    It is unethical and irresponsible to put out a vaccine when there is a cure. Covid has many cures and independent research has proved they work. All over the world studies have been done. Independent doctors all around the world have told of their success.
    The medical mafia have went out of their way to try and disprove the studies even to bring out their own fake studies quickly proved fraudulent. This medical mafia are willing to kill half the worlds population to stay in power. These people are sick

    The nurse just left my apartment after swabbing my nose with cotton on a stick. All residents will have been tested again for the second time in two weeks. We will have the results on the 15th.

    When I had to have a colonoscopy about 6 weeks, I couldn't get it unless I tested negative for the virus.
    When I went into the nurses office who did the testing, I knew what was coming, so I squinted and let my face go into all kinds of contortions, waiting for the inevitable downward jabbing of the swab by the nurse all the way down as far as my throat.

    That's when I got a severe lecture from the nurse. She lit into me, saying I was making it harder for her. The lecture continued as she told me that if I relaxed as if nothing was going to happen, etc., etc. it would be like a "walk in the park" and nothing to it. So its one of those cases where its much easier to explain than it is to endure - like a lot of things.

    Its better if a person has never had one before and therefore does not know what is going to happen. I knew because once when I had a staph infection I had to have a throat swab, so I didn't know how uncomfortable it was until it happened back then.

    So, one of the things about getting older is that one has been through a lot of experiences that are not fun, and therefore is more hesitant to trust the doctors and nurses, I suppose.

    Just yesterday I told them that when they come at a child with a needle in their hand and say "This won't hurt a bit," the poor kid is not allowed to talk back to adults even though you both know you're lying. I am at no such disadvantage, so don't BS me...things will go much faster. (It didn't work.)

    Regarding the OP: Swab is to nose as finger is to bum.

    I had one today. I spent the entire day in the "Acute Care Facility" and it sucked.

    There is a test to determine whether you have the antibodies for COVID, which would tell you whether you've been exposed to the virus. Most people who contract the virus never get any symptoms at all or it might just feel like a cold, so they won't otherwise know whether they have come across it. Without insurance, the test is something like $50, but your plan may (or may not) cover it. I have had the normal number of colds since this nonsense began so I think I'd like to find out if I have the antibodies for it. Either way, I wouldn't get any of the COVID vaccinations, but being vaccinated would be especially crazy if you've got natural immunity. I'm thinking I might do this. This isn't the uncomfortable COVID test, as it's simply a blood draw and a lab test.

    We are not tested any longer since they are useless in defining what type of virus shows up in the test.

    Martin Alonzo, I have not heard nor read in the medical community of absolute cures for COVID anywhere. Further just about every death that has been reported as a COVID death is not that at all. A death may be COVID related but not caused by COVID-19 per se. The media misleads one and all regarding this.
