I concur. It’s amazing how well anti vaxxers have taken over the narrative.

Literally all data has shown that omicron is a non-issue for triple vaxxed individuals, with a baseline being the standard flu.

If someone has data showing that triple vaxxed people are dying at rates similar to March 2020 I’d love to see.

Seriously?

If someone vaxxed and boosted dies of COVID, the media spins it as "Look how deadly..."

If someone is on Ivermectine and dies of COVID, they're villified as spreaders.

Triple vaxxed are safe, therefore antivaxxers have won? That does not seem to make any sense. What am I missing?

Yes, because there are still restrictions as a result of them, even though most people in the USA have been vaccinated.

In other words policies that affect the super majority are being formed due to the actions of a small group.

Only 20% of Americans are triple vaxxed.

Yeah, about 60% double and 70% single. Anyone can get more vaccines for free.

Not sure why people support restrictions at this point. If someone doesn’t want to be vaccinated that’s fair enough, but let the rest of us be free.

I’m curious how you think your freedoms are being curtailed at this point? What do you want to do that you can’t?
