MY ASS

The Houston Mayor is now wanting the GOP to cancel their Houston convention. Maybe he booked that time for a protest or something.

The reason I ask is because of the lingering effects of Covid.
I've heard from people that I know, that your quality of life is diminished for quite a while past the normal symptom presentation.
The description in this article pretty much sums up a lot of what they said.

You should wonder if there is any truth in any story you get your facts from.

1-Prove it's a chop.
2-I posted a meme of CNN not the FDA.
3-What is my agenda since I have never made it known?

1) Prove it's not
2)Posting memes ? Perfect. So newsworthy.
3) You apparently didn't read the article from the FDA that I posted. You are so uninformed. Whaddyou, just sit in front of the TV and spew stuff that you think you know about, like Trump ? What's your agenda ??? Best one I've heard so far today.

Typical deflection from the link that I posted.

It isn't deflecting ...I have no reason to read the FDA article again.
I pointed out two CNN headlines made into a meme that contradicted each other.
Since you brought up "my agenda" I asked you to explain what it was...but you cannot.

I am not giving any credibility to any entity with "Federal" in its name or one that marches to the liberal agenda (WHO, CDC, FDA, FBI, etc.). For the most part, mask proponents are liberals/Dems and opposition to masks is primarily Conservatives. Yes, many exceptions but I am convinced that the fear attached to COVID is a tactic every bit as effective as marching nazi soldiers down main street. The purpose is control through fear and in general, libs are scared, Conservatives are not.

I'm not asking anyone to agree. Simply putting my position out there. It's not up for debate.

You better watch out. you're gonna get hit with the "Racist & Homophobe" label any second. It's in the leftist handbook. I think in the chapter called "How to win a losing argument". Yep, here it is.

1. When confronted with facts not in agreement with your feelings hit them with the " You're a Racist and Homophobe " That will put them on the defensive. They will not be able to continue the argument because this is a code that will bring other leftists to your defense. We won't let facts interfere with our agenda.

You would do well to never use a Snopes link. The others, I'd have to look at. Snopes is a joke.

I personally would like the CDC to do a case study at my company. I'd like to understand why/how...

26 people consisting of Asian, caucasian, and black, male and female, age range 24 - 60, ranging from athletically fit, to barely walking, have managed to work in a space that is about 150 x 150, without ever wearing a mask, greeting visitors, sharing common spaces, attending conference room meetings, AND having an employee that contracted COVID and returned to work, has not been absolutely decimated by this aggressively contagious and ridiculously deadly virus?

Are we God's chosen company? Should we all buy lottery tickets? In conversation we have established that none of us wear masks except when we have no choice (store requirement). Most have spouses, kids, grandkids that are out and about mingling with the masses.

Should we be buying lottery tickets?

26 people with a circle of at least 3 people around them also mingling out and about. The Faucis of the world would tell you we should all be dead. How is it that we are just fine? One employee got it. Was tired for a few days and an upset stomach. That was it.

This is the new version of "The world is flat and you will sail off the edge and die" and we conservatives are Christopher Columbus.

Major lingering effects just starting.
Back in April had shortness of breath. Went to ER, turns out had major blood clot in lung. Dr. surprised was still alive. After three days in ICU, walked out of hospital.
My prior medical history, great shape, no family history of blood clots.
Pretty sure me and wife had Covid in December which did not require medical care. Dr will run Covid antibody test, when antibody tests are 100% reliable.
Dr. also pointed me to articles, of large amount of blood clots showing up in autopsies in New York deaths. All had positive Covid antibody tests. Deaths did not have current Covid positive test.
Most of blood clot deaths in New York showing up in healthy males, 30 to 60 years old.
Not fake news, like some believe,

You admit that you have zero understanding about the whole situation like most of us in the world yet keep arguing a usless point!
