    Would you rather get the virus or the vaccine. The virus is bad, but it is what it is. In that way, the virus is honest. Those who mandate and compel others to receive a "vaccine" are not. I don't claim to know all truths, but I know not to trust liars.

    I will seek out an infected person and kiss them full on the lips before I receive an injection that is mandated or compelled from people who do not have my best interests in mind.

    I was born in 1963. I'm one of thirteen siblings. In 1967, one of my friends got the German measles, so the moms had a measles party. We had chicken pox parties and mumps parties. One of our friends went blind behind the measles party, but those sorts of things are statistically, in the net, inevitable.

    This virus has not risen to the level of epidemic in the US. Epidemic has been defined down to a bad cold/flu season. This is nothing but a bunch of snowflakes running from the cooties. If we are going to do all of this for the kind of numbers we're seeing, we could do this every cold/flu season. This sets the bar too low.

    Furthermore. "flattening a curve" is a geometry term. When one flattens a curve, the area between the curve and the axis stays the same. No where does the CDC even claim the they are even trying to minimize the number of people who ultimately get sick or die. Their ONLY goal is to stretch it out longer so as to, in theory, keep hospitals from being overwhelmed. Hospitals have not been over run. The computer models that so grossly over estimated the spread of the virus are the same types of computer models that over estimated global warming. They are the same types of computer models that predicted the Soviet Union, and later China, would surpass the US economy. The single greatest threat to the American way of life are computer models.

    There's something very "pre-crime" about doing all of this behind such a nascent technology, especially one with such a consistent failure rate.

    My answer is neither. I have never had a flu vaccine and I don't get the flu. There are better ways to avoid a virus.

    I suspect vast and growing amounts of the population have already had COVID19, so will just stick with that. No flu-like/corona type vaccines for me going forward, but in middle age, got real flu this season, that was no joke even in very good health, so will be getting the flu vaccine itself going forward.

    The only "consistent failure rate" is the people who are failing to pay attention to what has happened of this pandemic, and the complete choosing to ignore what actually happened around the world.

    The hells of China and the top 2 countries in Europe is what happens without effort to "flatten the curve", and the success in the USA by cutting the curve here.

    But don't worry! Its looking like the USA is insisting on its own. The death rate's variables can be increased considerably by the deaths and damages from the lack of care. Those deaths and damages aren't even being counted about people who can't get care from other cases. Not to mention the countries who unplugged older cases to be used by younger cases with more chance of survival.

    I'm content to keep staying at home and wait for the vaccine to prove itself in the field.

    If they offer the vaccine without coersion, i will research its preservative and adjuvant content and give it some thought. The USA's practice of protecting vaccine manufacturers from the liability damages of their products makes me skeptical of all of them. But a few of them are fine.

    If however I am made to suffer a consequence for refusing (other than the virus, of course) I'll refuse it simply out of principle.

    Here's to hoping we don't go there.

    Also, the Cvirus has been documented damaging the male testes. So its potentially a bit more than cooties for those of us still hoping to have children...

    These rapidly mutating RNA viruses don’t have vaccines

    For people who are willing to get the virus from someone else, that's fine. We do need a list of those people who we need to know not to waste hospitals and medical personnel and care on.

    But for the people who are willing to make other people sick from their own selfish choices, we should have some nice North Dakota abandoned oil properties for those people who are indifferent to causing diseases.

    Why not send the people who want to shelter in place to ND. They can as long as they want to and no one will have an issue with it.

    Your ideal suppresses the liberties of people.

    Mine does not.

    See the difference?
