General Stock Ideas

Looking at the Delta breakout clusters and reports from other countries like Israel it seems to me that getting the mRNA Vaccine does not offer that much protection.

That is false. The Israeli data is from a very small sample size. Other data indicates that the mRNA vaccines remain highly effective.

Now for those in a high risk pool, like the elderly and the obese (particularly with Type 2 Diabetes) it probably makes logical sense to get vaccinated. For otherwise healthy adults, and especially children and young adults, avoiding the vaccine make sense. It offers little protection from variants. A

Once again, you are wrong about the vaccines not being highly protective against the variants including delta. The idea that healthy adults don't need to be vaccinated is sadly far too common. The hospitals ICUs and cemeteries are filled with healthy adults who mistakenly thought that, especially with the delta variant.

And vaccinated people can still be Covid carriers.

Yes, they can spread it to unvaccinated people who are at far higher risk of serious illness and death than vaccinated people. That is why mask mandates are being reimposed, for public safety.

There are too many credible reports of myocarditis, especially in young men.

It is extremely rare and easily resolved with some rest.

The government, which can't be trusted in regard to anything, especially our health, is pushing the vaccines too hard.

Ah, the delusional paranoia angle. I bet you believed all the nonsense spewed by the former occupant of the White House.

A backlash is developing all over the globe.

Yes, there is a small percentage of stupid selfish people in every country.

You have politicians all over the world imposing lockdowns and mask requirements and trying to pass laws mandated vaccine compliance, while consistently failing to follow the same rules they ant to impose on everyone else. Do you think the 700 or so people at Obama's birthday bash are going to be social distancing and wearing masks except for select photo ops? I'd bet against it. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightweight thinks imposing vaccine requirements and extending mask mandates is fine for the sheeple, but she can attend parties and Lalapalooza with thousands of other people and do it unmasked.

Deflectors on maximum. It is regrettable that a very small number of people proposing rules didn't follow them once. So what? That doesn't mean the rules are wrong. As far as the proposed Obama birthday bash, they are holding it outside, mandating vaccinations or negative Covid tests. In other words, following proper protocols to minimize risk. You know who is doing the opposite, setting up risky situations and super spreader events? tRUMP and Republicans but you ignore that and only cite rare examples of Democrats not following the rules they are pushing which ENHANCE public safety. The imbecile Congressional Republicans refuse to wear mask and Lindsey Graham has just tested positive. The imbecile Republican Governors of Florida and Texas have their states spiking in Covid and these death cultists are blocking the imposition of mask or vaccine mandates everywhere in their states. The carnage will get worse when schools open as unmasked kids spread the delta even more widely. Hell of a job there Brownie.

Bottom line...if the government is pushing it....I'm doing the opposite,

What an absurd philosophy! So you must drive drunk, never wear seatbelts, ignore stop lights.
