Just commenting on the signs firstly. It's true we all have a choice whether to live or die, but if the unvacc girl spreads the virus then it will be all her fault.
Yes it does look like the Govt is controlling us to the point I can't enrol on a free Govt course with a vacc certificate loaded into the system. But if I get the course for free it will be worth it.
Life isn't for free or easy living. We all have to pull out weight and the Govt is not making life easy for us at all.

Thanks for reviewing, I disagree with your opinion.
Comment from BeckyMann
Thank you for sharing this. Within my family I have supported member who have decided to take the jab and those that have not, and I for one have never been more sad about the open and encouraged divisiveness in this country. You can be the nicest human being on the planet, but if you are un-vaccinated, you must be trash. That is the sentiment being spun. I hope when this is all over, people look back and reflect on how they treated their neighbours. but I do believe in a bigger picture, and I think sooner than we know, the bigger picture with reveal itself.

Must agree with this write. The whole world is paranoid for no reason. Must agree to stay home if you are sick. China is loving this. They are the cause.

Well written.
"The odd time truth seeps through but is quickly squashed." - needs a comma
Sorry to hear about Canada's lack of honest reporting of the news. What about BBC?
We watch BBC America, PBS News Hour and listen to NPR. All are far better than 'for-profit' news broadcasts. And I wouldn't watch FauxNews if that was all there was.

Comment from Cristine22
You've expressed a lot of what I've been feeling. It's so hard these days to get a real idea of what's going on with all the censorship that's happening behind the scenes. The vaccine didn't work to eradicate covid, so let's do something else (or even just let things run their course as the virus seems to be becoming less deadly), but since big pharma runs so much of the show, common sense doesn't win out. It's so very frustrating. Anyway, I'm with you, and thanks for sharing!!

Comment from papa55mike
It's just another form of division that's being forced upon us. People have asked me if I'm vaccinated, and I refuse to answer them. There is more behind this than what's being told. What a wonderfully written story.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Comment from Allezw2
The sad part is that so many have independently thought themselves right into the grave.
If you are playing a devil's advocate for the sake of a story, one thing.
If this is an expression of your true belief, I wonder why an obviously intelligent and well-trained medical practitioner would espouse such a position?
Independent or not, too many of the folks in the emergency rooms, ill, and in hospitals on resuscitation are unvaccinated.
I believe in reasoned reporting by qualified experts such as Johns Hopkins University statisticians.
The majority of people sick and dying in the hospitals now are not vaccinated.
I have a trifle bias toward prophylactic anti-disease control measures.
My maternal grandparents died in October 1918 of complications of the Spanish Influenza Pandemic when the only defense was isolation and a face mask. They left my mother and her two sisters orphaned.
She was a hospital nurse and had only a face mask available. There were no proven effective vaccines available to immunize her at that time.
If this is truly your stance, fulminate all you want while putting yourself and others at statistical risk with this laissez-faire attitude.
If not, it only encourages others to dismiss their proven need by reinforcing their acceptance of faulty information from people who should know better.
Fare thee well, voyager, I wish you well.

Thanks for reviewing and your opinion, Millions of people all over the world have recovered from covid and are in good health today. If the vaccine worked it would be great but it does not despite what the Main stream media says. There is no known vaccine for any respiratory disease and this has many side effects including death. Keep well. Laura.

Don't pay attention to the main stream media. Instead study the reports from acknowledged and respected experts around the world as with Johs Hopkins in the U.S. Even so, you are blithely ignoring the "long effects" of those first afflicted. Few of those who survived were without permanently impaired respiratory systems and organ damage, too, as after effects of the COVID-19 infection. They all reported chronic debilitating effects.
If you refuse to accept the studied and verified advice of peer advisors and experts in the field, at least do not broadcast your disbeliefs to those less informed and who would expect you to be better informed.
This is my last word on this topic. You can respond here if you wish. I will not answer. We've each had a turn. Now it is time to simply agree to disagree.

I don't need you to answer, truth is truth and we will see, eventually, who knows the truth. God bless you and be well
Comment from WalkerMan
You are right about all of this and there are numerous truthful sources confirming the facts upon which you base your views.
In particular, you are correct that viral respiratory diseases cannot be eradicated by a vaccine. Catching the disease and fighting it off creates long-term immunity to that specific strain, and possibly some immunity to similar strains. Vitamin D3 (the oil-soluble kind that your skin makes in sunlight -- NOT the weak, water-soluble kind added to milk products) significantly improves resistance and reduces both symptoms and their duration. Other substances that help are zinc, which is better absorbed if accompanied by quercetin; full-spectrum Vitamin C in high doses; known anti-viral seasonings -- cinnamon, garlic, ginger, turmeric (better absorbed with black pepper), oregano, sweet basil, and thyme; plus elderberry tonic.
Consider the fact that colds, flu, tuberculosis, and multiple sclerosis are all increasingly prevalent farther from the equator because sunlight is less direct there, so less D3 is made in exposed skin. To counter that absence, humans evolved lighter skin to adapt and allow greater skin penetration of ultraviolet sunlight needed to create enough Vitamin D3. Deadly tuberculosis was common before the function of Vitamin D was known, but the most successful treatment was taking those hospital patients out into sunlight for as many hours as possible. Another was improving the ventilation in the wards where tuberculosis patients slept.
From elementary school through college and most of my adult life, I caught a cold once or twice every month. However, that entirely stopped over twenty years ago. What changed? Well, I had the flu exactly once in 1975. It was horrid, confining me to bed for a whole week. With plenty of time to think, I realized that I had little sun exposure that year, so I began supplementing with D3. I never got the flu again, and NEVER had a flu shot. My severe case had given me strong natural immunity. As the years passed, I gradually increased my D3 intake, eventually adding Vitamin K2 to balance the high doses of D3. Also, I maintained high intake of full-spectrum Vitamin C, and added organic, non-irradiated seasonings -- all the ones listed above (and some others). Consequently, my colds -- whether from rhino or corona virus strains -- simply ceased.
When I saw COVID coming, I increased ALL my supplements. Vitamin D3 being the most important, I raised my intake to twenty thousand units per day, balanced by a potent K2 formulation. That proved wise, as I did contract COVID-19 two years ago; but it was a mild case with slight morning fevers and a persistent cough that lasted three months (far longer than from any cold I ever had), so I knew it was COVID. I fought it off without ANY drug; and, since I work from home, self-quarantined for the duration. Now I have full natural immunity, far more effective than what the experimental jabs confer. I'm grateful, as I have seen multiple reports that every additional jab (from ANY of the so-called "vaccines") WEAKENS immunity significantly, increasing risk of contracting both COVID and anything else that may come along. When you look at the REAL statistics, it is apparent that "vaxxed" people are actually MORE likely to get COVID again, as well as other illnesses.
Governments all over the world are pushing additional jabs, thereby setting up their citizens to be more likely to succumb to both COVID and whatever else is coming. The "vaccine" manufacturers are being enriched while the population is being mass-murdered according to the Globalists' agenda. What we are experiencing is the worst crime ever against humanity, with insufficient resistance because the Globalist-owned "news" media, Google and other well-known search engines, plus the most popular social media companies are suppressing the truth while supporting the lies.
Meanwhile, the REAL statistics show that the number of deaths and severe, irreversible injuries within days (or even minutes) of a jab may actually exceed the number of claimed cases and deaths from COVID because hospitals profit from federal funds granted for each incidence. That is why such events as a motorcycle crash or a murder-suicide with a gun gets listed as a COVID death.
In short, the unvaxxed are persecuted, while the vaxxed are the real danger.
I am NOT against REAL, properly tested vaccines. I AM against forced jabs with an insufficiently tested experimental concoction whose ingredients and their risks are not clear in advance. I support each individual's right to become fully informed and then choose what he or she believes will be best for his or her health and circumstances.
You are commended for boldly opening this discussion. Superb, and aptly illustrated.

Thank you very much for your support and review. Please consider taking this review and putting in an article this is information everyone needs and I for one am in complete agreement about the treatments and preventative measures you have mentioned. Thanks again Laura.

You are most welcome, Laura. Yes, I am working on such a post with additional detail on where to get the supplements and spices I used. Your request prompted that decision. :)) I may post it tonight. -- Mike
Comment from Jay Squires
In the USA, CNN, ABC, and NBC are sponsored by Pfizer. [I don't know that this is true. But you should, because you say it! Where is the authority?]
Both were double vaxxed. [Wait. Are you saying that over-vaccination brought on the heart attack? And that the blood clot was caused by over-vaccination? Please, LauraLu, be careful with your examples unless you can show a viable cause/effect connection between them. That's how these wacky theories get started. That's what causes the gullible to drink diluted bleach, or scorch their throats with the heat of a hair dryer. Both the above "cures" were on Facebook about a year and a half ago, but have since been removed.]
Many people have died after receiving 2 jabs, from adverse effects or even from covid. [Again ... unsubstantiated. Your sloppy use of "Many people" and "some people".]
Your only verifiable source was the thalidomide tragedy. No one can deny its horrible effects on subsequent generations of children. It was FDA approved, because it did get rid of morning sickness. As soon as the aftereffects were verified, it was recalled from the market. But morning sickness is not a pandemic. It's not spread by a virus. Women took thalidomide voluntarily.
I have heard people, have seen them on tv (and I'm sure you have as well), whose convictions were as strong as yours, yet while they were lying on their hospital beds gasping for life-giving oxygen, their prayer was for others to learn from their misplaced priorities and get vaccinated. Gee ... what turned their ideals upside down? Breathing. It's kinda important isn't it?

Thanks for your opinion Jay, the sources can be found by anyone that wants to know the truth, No respiratory illness is obliterated by a vaccine. There are many videos of people with horrible side effects after taking the vaccines and millions of people that have had covid and are healthy today. Obviously, you have had the vaccine, correct?
So perhaps you are a little biased, there is a bigger picture here. Be well, Laura.
