Some people work it for all they can.

And no doubt some have had some serious side effects form the shots.  Im just saying some will work it for all they can.

Boosters for all vaccines including non-Covid ones will become the norm if the anti-vaxxers keep proliferating.  People just don't get how vaccines work, the same way they still don't understand that you wear a mask to protect other people primarily.

You have to beat viruses as a team...individual efforts and precautions are pointless if your community is still crawling with infected people not taking precautions themselves.

For a 58 year old man.  I a healthier than most people in my age range.   I dont drink, smoke, do drugs.  I get 7-8 hours sleep a night.  I eat healthy, exercise, and read. 

LOL...some say i have turned into a hippy.  Which i guess is ok with me if they think that.  I just wish people would ask "why"? and not just assume.

You may find you need less sleep as you get older.  I was like you 15 years ago.  Now 5 hours sleep is fine

You are really 58+15= 73? wink.png

I was always one of those "night owls".  I would get by on 2-4 hours sleep a night.  But then i started reading up on how unhealthy that is.  So i started going to bed at a reasonable time.  It has made a big difference.

The World has gone mad and not the people who try to maintain normality. You are helping to cause and maintain the madness by buying into the climate of fear wholesale.

That's a perfectly valid viewpoint. JUST as legitimate and reasonable as yours, because you do not understand that you're causing harm with all this paranoid talk. IMBacon is the same.


And your attitude to disagreement is merely censorship and an attack on freedom of expression. There's no excuse for that and you can only justify it through the assumption that yours is the only viewpoint which is valid and correct.

The fear itself is far more damaging than the object of the fear.
