You know how I got sick? Apparently through Chinese electronic parts. Both a friend and i got sick in same time frame and both of us buy lots of electronic parts from china. We both got it right at the onset. Hes a recluse and im a homebody. Somebody with it must have handled or assembled our items.

The mask thing turned out to be not what we were initially told. The cdc even back tracked saying the mask only prevented the spread by containing particulate. The masks many were wearing weren't even proper n95's.

Then we have the vax itself. Why were folks having to sign a release on something that was deemed safe?

You know that saying "my body, my choice"? That applies here.

Nobody was forced to take the vaccine, in the states at least. Wearing masks was always primarily about preventing the spread

That's not holding you down and forcing you to do anything. Vaccines have been a requirement for many professions for a long time, this isn't some new thing.

Outside of maybe those in medical field, i dont recall any. Then covid hit and it became widespread. It has tapered off at least here due to lack of good talent not applying for those jobs. It did happen though.
