    Default Fear porn wearing thin

    True

    To all those who survived the deadly covid 19, and then survived the even deadlier delta variant, and now deal with the even deadlier omicron variant, yet would still not know we were in the longest, deadliest pandemic in history unless the media did not say we were in the longest, deadliest pandemic ever, you are not alone.

    I agree. It is wearing thin. Now define what exactly "it" is.

    An overblown, hyped fear of a virus?

    Or an overblown, hyped fear of a vaccine?

    It is what it is.

    "It" = virus.

    "It" has 98% survival rate.

    Both fears are manufactured as far as I'm concerned. I don't see the fearmongering from one side being more nor less than the other. I look at the hysteria about the virus the government and media have created and used no differently than the fear and hysteria anti-vaxxers have used about the vaccine. No more differently than hysterical greenies push global warming.

    Bullshit smells the same no matter what you call it.

    I'm just sick of it all.

    I'm against the mandates.

    I'm sick of administration trying to blame all their wrongs on virus.

    I'm tired of obvious political, nor science based decisions raining down.

    I'm sick of the anti vax demands to listen, watch, and take whatever is recommended today.

    I'm sick of seeing everything I'm interest coming back to Covid!!!

    If anti vax person sickens or worse, that was their informed choice.

    If fully vaccinated boosted however many times sickens or worse, whether from vaccine or virus, again, their informed choice.

    Odds are most will make it.

    That is good.
