Ok, sounds scary

You have (apparently) no idea.
how many shots have you taken?

None of your goddamned business, but 3.  I also got a flu shot, a shingles shot, and a tetanus shot (haven't counted how many that makes over my life, but that immunity fades over time so you need more than one. Or is tetanus another hoax, a scam by evil pharma to get us to take more shots?)

I also vaccinate my animals. The carnivores get rabies and distemper shots every 3 years, dogs get parvo shots every 3, sheep get clostridium and tetanus shots annually, horse gets EWT/EN annually because the immunities fade. This seems to be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but every shepherd/cattleman/vet understands this.
when will you take another?

Soon as I can. Covid immunity seems to fade over time.
how effective are these shots against the flu-like illness?

Very, if you mean covid. See below.
this is like a bad drinking game with injections

Yeah, you really should try and sober up a bit.

Airlines ask Biden to drop mask mandate and testing requirements for travelers

BY KRIS VAN CLEAVE

MARCH 23, 2022 / 7:15 PM / CBS NEWS



The CEOs of the nation's largest airlines are asking the Biden administration to drop the federal mask mandate on airplanes, along with the pre-departure testing requirement for international travelers. Although COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have fallen sharply in the last two months and restrictions are being lifted across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month extended its mass transit mask mandate by 30 days, until mid-April, and masking guidelines for airlines remain in place.

"Now is the time for the administration to sunset federal transportation travel restrictions – including the international predeparture testing requirement and the federal mask mandate – that are no longer aligned with the realities of the current epidemiological environment," the CEOs of 10 U.S.-based passenger and cargo airlines, including Delta, American and United, wrote in a letter to President Biden.

Some hospitals ask patients, visitors to remove N95s, citing CDC Politico. “‘It’s baffling,’ said Ezekiel Emanuel.” Oh?

You ignored/missed:
We lost about 461K in 2021 (dominated by the omicron variant) alone.

No, much much much worse than the flu. Unless you're vaxed. Then it's about as mild as the flu:

You keep failing to explain why getting the vaccinations is a problem. Andy then you throw in the total non-problem of masks, which are known to reduce transmission, even with omicron. When your argument comes down to, "I don't like it, your argument is pretty weak.


Public Health officials and politicians are saying that it's fine to remove the masks sounds good

the pandemic is over if people took the vaccine good for them but there's no need to be mandating it for other people

In a really bad flu season (2017-18, the worst in a decade) we lost 52K people to the flu in the US.

We've lost almost a million people to covid in just over 2 years.

We lost about 461K in 2021 (dominated by the omicron variant) alone.

So no, much much worse than the flu. Like 9X worse than a really bad flu season.

If we secretly had a really bad flu season and every single flu death was counted as a covid death, and half the remaining covid deaths were some other cause but coincidental with covid then covid is still about 4X worse than the flu.

Sorry, I did math. Let me put it in terms you might understand: No, much much much worse than the flu. Unless you're vaxed. Then it's about as mild as the flu:

wake up

you took two shots and think you're a hero and vindictively want to fire anybody who won't take one shot you want your servants masked you want to fire people unless they comply to your injections.

do you ever stop, take stock of the situation, and chart a new course (pivot) or do you always just keep going with the whatever direction you started going with?

The W.H.O. says the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron is driving most cases around the world.
Globally, BA.2 made up about 86 percent of cases reported to the W.H.O. between Feb. 16 and March 17, the agency said in a report on Tuesday. The previously dominant subvariants, BA.1 and BA.1.1, together represented about 13 percent of the cases. (...)

Scientists suspect that BA.2’s rapid growth is thanks to its unique mutations. In the gene for the spike protein on the surface of the virus, BA.2 has eight mutations not found in BA.1.

Although BA.2 has become the latest subvariant on many people’s minds, there are also three so-called recombinant variants that the W.H.O. has deemed noteworthy enough to be named. One of these variants, nicknamed “Deltacron,” was discovered in February but had not been officially named.

On Tuesday, the agency said that it had named the three variants — two versions of Deltacron and one that combined BA.1 and BA.2 — XD, XE and XF. There was no evidence that these recombinant variants are more transmissible or cause “more severe outcomes,” the report said.

Christine Anderson trashes Trudeau as a disgrace to democracy and for his authoritarianism. 
Asks him to leave EU Parliament chamber as unfit for democracy

Still like a prison planet, cannot travel to Canada without undergoing multiple injections.
Same with USA, all non-citizens must be multiple injected

Per the recommendations of the WHO and WEF

As rubber-stamped by the half-funded-by-pharma CDC and the NIH run by our friend Tony

The small but influential folks keeping us busy getting injected via employer mandates.

Every college injected every kid multiple times and this is going strong, it is full steam ahead

I got two Moderna, that's all I'm doing.  The wife got the booster on her own free will.  I didn't want her to and let her know that I wasn't going to before she got hers.  Since she got her third, we have seen an almost immediate subsequent outbreak of some serious new problems that were not even a thought previously.  Most noticeably she is now on oxygen and has some sort of new cardiac thing going on, too.  She really regrets getting the booster and I now regret that I should have said more to try and dissuade her from getting the third and didn't.  She'll be undergoing a lot of tests during this next month.
