Excellent to hear from you Brother....Avoiding people like the plague was my lifestyle before being vaccinated .. My elderly  mother has a slew of underlying health conditions and keeping her alive was my primary concern 

.I hate cable news ( ALL OF THEM ) .

As I type this I'm reading Florida just broke their Covid hospitalizations  record yesterday ..One hospital said half of their covid 19 patients in ICU are under 18 years old....

My cousins basically  said the same thing last year during the height of the pandemic . They were not going to live life in fear, they got Covid with minor symptoms so they lied to the rest of the fam and  infected their dad.. He died less than 3 weeks later . NO funerals were allowed at that time .

Also lost a close friend  , and 2 former coworkers ...One of whom posted daily that Covid was just the flu , and his immune system was strong....One relative in Oklahoma now needs a kidney after beating Covid...

I still have plenty of friends that havent suffered a tragedy to one of their loved ones who echo your sentiment ..I've given up trying to convince them to get vaccinated and or take this seriously...

When WNY dropped the mask mandate , they went on the honor system for mask wearing ..Stores here have signs saying the non vaccinated need to continue wearing masks ...Almost nobody is wearing masks , and to no suprise our cases are rapidly rising ....The vaccinated are not the ones being hospitalized here. 

While it's a morbid bet , I'd bet my Bankroll  Covid crushes the US this fall and winter ...

"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it." .......Voltaire......

Case in point - The two main ridiculous trolls of fascism and tyranny (D-Up & Stump) on Covers. They carpet bomb EVERY thread on Covers with their MSM propaganda 7 days a week. They can't get real jobs (even though McDonald's is hiring) so this is all they got.

They drive good people away and try to intimidate anyone and everyone who dares to speak truth to corrupt power. The lying Govt is not your friend. Big Pharma fraudsters are not your friend. MSM is not telling you the truth. And any sorry-azz troll that tries to convince you otherwise IS the enemy of freedom and humanity.

Are you alright Brother ??  We're NOT enemies..

You're full of assumptions , accusations. ,wild conspiracies,  projections , fairy tales , and Hate ...

It's a beautiful summer here in Murica () ..Maybe shutting off the rube tube,  and staying off interweb  would be great for your mental state... Fresh Air and some fun in the sun would do you wonders Brother ..

 Why do you trust the vaccine? I personally know one person that died from taking it and know a couple of others who had pretty serious side effects. Natural immunity is way safer. That is a fact. The only way on earth I would take it would be if I had serious underlying conditions (auto immune disease, diabetes) Even then I would only take the J&J vaccine as it is not an mRNA vaccine. Although there have been major side effects from it but mostly on women over 50 years old. I'd love to know why you trust the vaccine so much when it's unproven. And there are NO long term studies of what side effects it may cause. If you want to mask up and stay away from people then go ahead- that's your choice. It's my choice to not take the vaccine. Myself nor others should be made to feel guilty or be called Anti-vax conspiracy guys because we do our research and chose not to be forced to take something that is experimental. I know Covid is real and can be nasty but do you really think the gov't cares about you or me? 

I just found out today my mother in law (72 years old) tested positive for Covid. Her doctor actually put her on Ivermectin, Fluvoxamine, Nasalpharyngeal Sanitation, high dose Vitamin C, Quercetin, Zinc, Melatonin, and Aspirin. It's only been 18 hours but already she is feeling better. Being treated early and with the right medicine/supplements can save many many lives. Yet most doctors don't do squat until the patient is already under major distress. I had to argue with 3 doctors before finding a 4th to give me Hydroxychloroquine- the other 3 said it's dangerous!!

What a load of crap! It's been one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world!! It's a known antiviral and is 99.9% safe for most people- the CDC even approves of its use now since Trump is no longer in office- even if it didn't help a particular person, it won't hurt so why not take it?

While Covid is a nasty bug and kills many people, if you don't think the numbers are inflated and covid isn't being politicized then you are just naive or ignorant. 

You won't stand for the anthem or give the flag respect but you'll do what your gov't overlords tell you when it comes to taking an experimental vaccine- your are the experiment.........truly sad

@blowoutgm

 Well written...bravo!!! 

Best of health to you Brother ..None of our disagreements really matter ...All that matters is that we wake up healthy everyday ..God Bless you and your loved ones..

I'm a free american , and dont need to worship a flag , song or God..Where was the magic sky cloth when both my grandfathers were spit on in their Army and Navy uniform after WW2  ???  Even The GI Bill didnt apply to them.

If you have time read the tweets from Doctors  and hospital staff that is currently getting crushed in Florida who are stating that 96% of their hospitalized Covid patients are unvaccinated ..

This is a global pandemic that doesnt care about borders or politics .

Take care Brother ....Cant wait to see your weekly football picks this season ..

Do you have any futures you're looking at .

 You cultist love to clap like seals for wacky conspiracies...

You should change your avatar to Marjorie Taylor Greene or the my pillow guy...

We'll just agree to disagree on some things-not sure why you didn't answer my questions but it really doesn't matter- you believe what you believe and I'll do the same- I certainly don't wish harm on anyone regardless of their beliefs or convictions!

I've honestly just never been a big futures guy- I do like the Cowboys under as I am a life long Cowboys fan and I can't see their defense stopping anyone again this season. Dak's an unknown for me as I don't think he'll be 100% for awhile as that was a nasty looking injury. I don't bet much NFL but I'll be active as usual over in the NCAA forum.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills wide receivers Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis will miss the next five days of practice after being deemed close contacts of a team trainer who tested positive for COVID-19, a league source confirmed Tuesday. Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei is also in quarantine, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

All three tested negative for the virus Tuesday morning but must miss practice anyway, per the NFL's COVID-19 policy. The trainer is fully vaccinated, a source told Schefter.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE....

I feel confident in the vaccine 

The vaccinated are not the ones filling up the hospitals , dying , or suffering with  life altering illnesses....

Get the vaccine or don't Brother ...Makes no difference to me 

Here are real videos from real people (including Jimmy Dore) who have suffered following their covid shots:

You conspiracy rubes fall for the dumbest propaganda...

How is Jimmy Deyoung doing ???

Not good , should of been vaccinated instead of making up looney tune propaganda ...

@DoubleUp4Life

Your taking a trip soon when your booster kicks in. There is a train a comin' and you are going to get your ticket punched.

 The comedy you provide to this site is gold...the world needs more clowns and laughter than ever before.

thank you 

What about teams with vaccinated players who get covid?

Nearly 60% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Israel fully vaccinated.

The following variants are very prominent in the middle east at the present time:

Lambda Lambda Lambda (Tri-Lamb)

Alpha Beta

Pi Delta Pi

God forbid these V's come to North America 

Percentages can be misinterpreted without context.  Claim that vaccinated people are hospitalized more is a example of "Simpson paradox."  Phenomenon in which misleading results can be obtained from observed data in the presense of confounding factors.  In highly vaccinated population, smaller proportion of unvaccinated are hospitalized while higher proportion of vaccinated are hospitalized.  This doesn't mean vaccines don't work.  If population is 100% vaccinated, 100% of hospitalizations occur among the vaccinated.  Actually, Israel vaccination is highly successful in reducing serious illness according to analysis in Covid 19 data science.

Anybody see the new study out of Isreal? It states vaccinated people are 13 times more likely to get infected and 27 times more likely to develop symptoms than people who have had covid and have natural immunity. 

The tri-Lamb variant is already overtaking the Alpha Beta as the dominant strain at Adams college. This is scary stuff.

Lamar kicked arse in ROTN and The Karate Kid 

Not a bad rapper either
