He made more sense on COVID, risk and vaccines in 5 minutes than the rubbish we’ve heard from any public health official or elected representative in 19 months.
“Loving your neighbor is not just loving those that agree with you or look like you or move in the same way that you do. It's loving those who don't.”
"I've had COVID in the past. Our understanding of antibodies, of natural immunity, has changed a great deal since the onset of the pandemic and is still evolving. I understand that the vaccine would help -- if you catch COVID, you'd...have less symptoms from contracting it. But with me having COVID in the past and having antibodies, and with my age group and physical fitness level, it's not necessarily a fear of mine.
"Taking the vaccine, like I said, would reduce my chances of having a severe reaction, but it does open me up to the -- albeit rare -- chance of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine itself.
"I do not believe that being unvaccinated means infected, or being vaccinated means uninfected. You can still catch COVID with or without having the vaccine.”
"Covid" being little more than a fiscally advantageous filing protocol for keeping the numbers up, I'd assert that anyone can catch this 'covid' whenever some quack needs a few more cases for the next application cycle, whether they've had one brand of sugar water shot into them or another. Good grief, doesn't anyone recognize a heist of opportunity that also happens to have done severe and irreversible damage to civilization itself as a 'side effect'? How about we all STFU about god-damn 'covid' already, you're just encouraging them even to give the very notion any credence. If people had kept their wits about them a year and half ago instead of reacting like panicked hens to each new slice of pure extemporaneous Panic Olympics bullshit out of the 'news', none of this would have happened. It's embarrassing, it's weak, it's heedless capitulation to a bloated and leveraged rumor for no good reason, it is a catastrophic failure of self-respect on a mass scale, and it's stupid. I'll have no part in it.
Aren't you vaccinated by mandate to play the show?
