problem is we have a corrupted MSM which spews propaganda and you can't believe a word that they say and they overhyped this covid initially downplaying it while our president stopped travel from infected areas and they called him a racist when it was the right thing to do as well as stopping travel to all infected areas, then total overhyping something that most folks survive with flu symptoms while it takes others and is unpredictable. Now we have a totally incompetent and corrupt government where they are more interested in pushing a ineffective jab that isn't working. I was a medical Headhunter with lots of contacts in hospital adminstration and they say you can't trust any reporting information as they are saying many folks who die of cancer and hrt attacks, motorcycle accidents and other nonsense are covid deaths because they get 75k without any questions asked but very little in normal compensation. I am vaccinated with no effects but my son the army ranger who runs triathylons got very sick from the first jab.

this is the problem when you have a corrupted government few trust and you don't know what's right thing to do. Vaccine is NOT working in many folks and even the fraud fauci admits many folks still transmit it even vaccinated and with booster. All those carrying new variant came from country where you can only travel IF vaccinated which means it was brought into this country by vaccinated folks. but reports form docs in South africa is most infected have flu symptoms and not a huge threat but you wouldn't know that if you watch any of the corrupted MSM as they are saying it's devastating.

Personally we never stopped living our lives, you can't let fear or insane beauracrats with a track record of lying advise you. Always have been cautious and keep my distance from folks because at my age flu or pneumonia is the big killer and have always washed my hands a lot and very careful. problem is everyone has an opinion but few KNOW ANYTHING. Be careful out there CDC folks but live your lives. BTW masks don't do anything, many studies have shown that and places where they are mandated are doing the worst in terms of infections. Places that have freedom and choices are doing best is all I know at this point. In STL county they are mandated and overall most folks ignore it and are doing just fine as far as numbers.
