Antivaxxers are promoting preventable illnesses

"All viruses have one mission  and that's to survive," Andy Worth.

Sad how many slept through seventh-grade science class.

All viruses have one mission and that’s to survive. The more it is allowed to survive in infected people, the more it learns to adapt to our antibodies and vaccines, and become uncontrollable and much more deadly.

Also, airborne means you may be infected and not know it so you are spreading this virus again allowing it to grow stronger and adapt, and soon a death sentence for just getting it.

COVID anti-vaxers are by default pro polio, pro small pox (all childhood diseases) and anti-science so we can return to the Dark Ages where plagues killed half of the world’s population.

Working in healthcare in Los Angeles for 20 years, in the 1970s my father had Tuberculosis as a bartender and was locked up in a TB hospital for a year. Since then, a cure vaccine has been produced to end TB but as many homeless would only receive half the treatment then leave the hospital to go get drunk or score drugs, this TB was not killed and was allowed to adapt to the cure so now of course we have a non-curable new strain of TB returned to medicine, as well as flesh-eating infections that are now non-curable for the same reason.

November 2020 election is long past so the Big Lie must end!

Echo opinion letter published in Kingman Miner, an Arizona newspaper: 

The 2020 election has been over since November, but still too many Republicans believe, flamed by #FormerGuy Trump’s continued false and unproven claims, that it was stolen from him.

There are other Republicans who have integrity, like Rep. Liz Cheney, who are being blasted because they know it’s a Big Lie, as it’s now being referred to, because the claim is just that, a Big Lie.

For the most part, the other Republicans without the same integrity due to their fear of losing their jobs continue to back #FormerGuy Trump’s unfounded false claims, regardless of how they truly believe, thus showing no regard to the people and our country, a nation they supposedly work for. Therefore, they are doing a great disservice to this great country of ours. Others, are just cowardly, hiding in the shadows, and keeping out of sight and keeping their mouths shut in fear of the same.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does! #SIASD

This continued claim of a fraudulent election is doing absolutely no good to help heal and bring this country back together, as it should be. It is long past time that we put what’s in the past in the past and move on.
