Tests and masks

Paradoxical objects to the drug companies profiting from making the drugs and vaccines that save lives. Where are his posts that object to the drug companies making a profit from selling insulin?
He doesn’t understand that we live in a capitalist society. You don’t get your food for free. And you don’t get your lifesaving drugs and vaccines for free either. Someone pays for all of that, be it you, your insurance company, or the government.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

I've spent less than $20 on protecting myself from COVID-19. A bottle of hand sanitizer has lasted me the entire pandemic, and I'm still on my second pack of masks, and don't expect to ever need a third.

My second shot symptoms were worse than covid itself so no booster for me. Besides that even the CDC now says natural immunity is superior to vaccination.

People keep making this logical failure. "Natural immunity vs. vaccination" doesn't matter because that's not the variable you actually have a choice or control over. Your choice is "vaccination vs unvaccinated" and in every scenario, vaccination is better than not being vaccinated. It's not natural immunity or vaccine immunity, you get both. The more the body sees covid, or the components of it from the vaccine, the better-trained it will be.

Recently, tests and masks seem to be being handed out everywhere. For example, the library is always handing them out. I read pharmacies are doing the same, but I haven't stopped by one recently. Tests were virtually impossible to even buy around Xmas but now there seems to be a surplus and it's almost like they are trying to get rid of them.
It seems an odd time to be trying to pass yet another covid bill when we appear to now be oversupplied and they can't find hardly any vaccine takers. Every grocery store I visit (with a pharmacy) is announcing to stop on by the pharmacy for a covid shot - annoyingly frequent announcements.
So, I'm curious - are others experiencing this abundance of tests in your area? How are posters feeling about a 4th shot (or a 3rd shot if you haven't gotten one)? Have those already once boosted gotten another or do you plan to?
I stopped at the original 2 shots and have no plans to get anymore covid shots for the time being.

The mask mandate is over in Washington state. Very few people wear them anymore. I'll get the fourth shot if my doc tells me to. I do what my doctor tells me. I don't get my medical advice from social media or Fox News.

KACHING is because the pharmaceutical companies love all those getting "free" boosters which are being paid for by the sweat of taxpayers, your children, and your grandchildren. Democrat and Republican government leaders about this because many have stock in Big Pharm. The current giveaway of free this and free that will definitely lead to the ruination of America as we once knew it. Now FREE cell phones to illegal aliens?? This is insanity.

Vaccines and boosters?

Maybe you can get a Biden phone. Just go to Mediko and walk across the border and say No Habkla English, get a phone, an attorney, and a bus ride to a Repubican city of your choice.

Natural plus vaccination is best but natural alone is better than vaccination alone. So says the CDC anyway.

You don't think that developing a vaccine against a deadly and highly contagious virus warrants compensation? If you are uncomfortable with capitalism, then perhaps you'd be more comfortable living in a communist country?

This is now socialism since the shots are “free”. You appear unsure what capitalism is.

I guess that's why you got "badly" sick from Covid and I haven't caught it at all.

Obviously mother nature hates you and loves me.

And.............

Stuff happens. People get sick., NEWS bulletin!!!
 
americanwoman said:
Yes but you said "mother nature knows best"... NEWS flash - she knows who deserves to feel good, not badly sick and ending up in the ER.

Mother Nature is such that now that I got Covid I am MORE immune from it than all of you who got the shot, and I don't know how many boosters but I suspect gubment bureaucrats will convince you that you need boosters forever and you willingly oblige.

I don't think acting like you are better than someone who got the shot and didn't get badly sick or a huge hospital bill is the flex you think it is - and if you haven't even got the shot you not that much more immune and actually still more likely to end up in the hospital, again, than someone who got vaccinated.

So your position is to ignore medicine and just do what Mother Nature tells you to? Great, next time you get an infection don't treat it. Mother Nature will take care of you.

You don't know any such thing. Covid is a virus. Catching one form of a virus does not make you immune to all variations. That's how viruses work. Otherwise the flu would have disappeared a long time ago. You don't know jack about immunity from viruses.

It's almost as if the government is allowing people that want to protect themselves and their families to do so.

I only went to the hospital on the advice of the doctor my daughter works for because he wanted me to be monoclonals. Turns out the hospital was assured they would get them and did not. So, basically, I was sent home the following morning without them doing anything.

Anything else I can answer for you?
