What’s The Matter With Joseph Biden?

[Maruzo]

I had a nasty flu that lasted more than a week. It has the same symptoms of my past flu experience. Starts with tightening throat, then running stuffy nose, fever, cold sweat, aching body, and a week's worth of bed rest before I got better.

Managed to get myself off the bed day 2 to get tested for covid, wanted to make sure that's not what I have.

The testing site is now turned into a combination facility with 9 camps for moderna vaccination and 1 camp for testing.

They are giving away powdered milk, sanitizing wipes, etc, if you are willing to get your free shots.

There seems to be more case of flus now that people are starting to take off their masks and attending more social events.

Vaccines are there for our protection. I understand some people are reticent because this vaccine was developed in such short time frame, there's no long term study available to let us know of its possible side effects.

But.... you take the lesser of 2 evils. You don't ever have everything the way you want in life.

Maruzo:

I agree with you. I also agree with Bill Maher, the comedian and HBO host of his show “Real Time with Bill Maher” where he was incredulous that now in America, we have to bribe people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
In his most recent show's introductory monologue, Maher said: “They’re giving away college scholarships, free beer and baseball tickets. California is giving away $160 million in cash and prizes. We’re at the Bob Barker phase of the pandemic…All over the world people are dying to get this vaccine but here they got to give you a jet ski first, then maybe they will consider getting vaccinated”.

Hi AVB,

I’m worried about the onslaught of new voter suppression laws showing up in many republican led state legislatures, and the 83 percent of new Covid cases caused by the Delta variant.

97% of the new covid cases are among the unvaccinated population.

It’s almost like we are living in two societies. One where the population understands the need to vaccinate against the covid virus, another refusing to do so, for whatever reason.

The end result is our country continues to spread this horrible new disease and allowing new variants of the virus to take root and spread.

I’m putting on my mask again after enjoying a brief few weeks of respite from the fear of covid infection. Yes I’ve been fully vaccinated since April. But the fear of the super contagious delta variant has me putting on the mask again.

When will this ever end? Will this country ever realize everyone needs to get on board so we can execute a singular and effective strategy against the virus?

I fear we could have ended this plaque but fails do so at the end.

Point out the "voter suppression" laws and be specific, especially Jim Crow 2.0 that many like to quote...

Don't get your talking points from dumbasses on tv who have an agenda, do your own research and look at things with an unbiased eye and if you do that I believe you will understand why there is a great divide in our country. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts and since most people just parrot what they hear it becomes an echo chamber.

Remember that no one wants this division to keep growing, because if it does...
There will come a time where the only way to settle things is to go around killing fuckers and once that starts it won't just be political opponents it will also be a class and a race war not to mention a chance to go smoke that fucker they have a grudge against.

Yet people seem to forget that if you make people's lives suck enough and accuse them of being racist, classist, etc. that pretty soon many will just say fuck it, spit on their hands and start slitting throats, since they're being vilified for it anyway and losing their livelihoods solely on some perceived grievance.

I don't want a civil war, because I've seen combat in every single fucking action from Panama through Afghanistan and Iraq, so I hope that people stop throwing shit just to support a "party" instead of supporting the Nation.

You are way out of line here.

My interest, along with most of us here, is to NOT see divides, conflicts, within our country.

Yet it's happening in front of our eyes.

The pandemic is not going to stop by itself. I believe it takes the will and effort of everyone in this country to put it away.

Tom Brady said as much when he was invited into the White House. And I don't believe he's democrat.

Do you not remember saying the "Voter Suppression Laws" from REPUBLICAN States?
You started your post saying that ....

1. There are voter suppression laws being implemented.

2. These laws are Republican.

Both of your false statements are designed to divide Americans between Democrat/Republican and Black/White.

You didn't answer about "those" laws NOT specifically and damn sure not generically.

So "Pot" if you want me to be a kettle you probably ought to check your color first...

As for covid19 if you're even a little bit open minded you will see that is over 98/99% of infected people recover and that vaccine side effects resulting in death officially reported are at 9,000 people in the US.

Most people's comments about covid19 vaccination is some variation on....

"I got vaccinated so I'm safe but these unvaccinated people put (us/others) at risk!!! or keeps us from getting herd immunity"

If you're vaccinated you should be 92-95% bulletproof so all the disdain and comments about unvaccinated is done to divide people into two camps.

Texas is a republican state, so is Florida. Both state governments are pushing for voter suppression laws. Does that not back up what I referenced?

How is that a false statement?

I'm going to believe what I choose to believe. You do the same. But don't think you can label me anything you feel like. I certainly didn't put a label behind your back.

Keep putting label on people, you're doing a great job uniting this country.

"Most people's comments..." According to whom?

Do you have any data to back up that claim?

And since when is concern for the well being of this country means "distain" for the unvaccinated?
