This is why the control aspect of the public seems to be the  
primary purpose of the project.  This will be my 2yr of  
reporting losses in my biz.  Meanwhile I have to manage to  
scrape by - somehow.

I learned that it is NOT a good idea to take the jab if you  
have a compromised immused system, particularly if you have had  
cancer treatments (which kills the immune system either by xray  
or drugs).  For a vaxx to be effective, you HAVE to have a  
functioning immune system. But if your body can't produce the  
anti-bodies that the jab is supposed to stimulate, the jab is  
useless. The contents of the jab could introduce extra problems  
that the body would be better off not fighting.

The tests themselves are not 100% definitive. The tests depend  
on how many "cycles" for the PCR technique is used in the lab.  
The higher the number of cycles, then they can find anything!

Being tested positive, and having no symptons, could be a  
pretty good indicator that the test is wrong.

Dear people. If you have no symptoms of cold/flu, and you are  
not sneezing or coughing, then you are not spreading anything  
to anyone.  Meanwhile be wary of touching your hands to your  
face or someone elses face before you have a chance to wash  
them. But if you do have symptoms, and are coughing and  
sneezing, then stay home until you get better.  Simple. No jab  
required.

It *is* a science project, as well as a social one that has  
been politicized.

How would you take it home with you?  If you can avoid people  
who are coughing and sneezing directly, that's probably 95% of  
the problem solved right there.

One of the local shopping chains in my town has stopped the  
endless wiping-down of the shopping carts.  The line-ups for  
the cashier are still paced and only one at a time while you  
wait in a queue "one shopping cart apart from the person in  
front of you".

You can still bring them any other kind of cold or flu - maybe  
even another variant of the original one that the jab is based  
on.  The jab is not a shield.

Sure you can. If you or anyone else around you is not coughing  
or sneezing, then they are not spreading anything.

That's the mantra they want you to believe.  But those jab  
drugs are totally experimental and long-term conditions have  
not been identified.

If you feel sickly, stay home.  If you are coughing or  
sneezing, stay home.

Even in 1918 the importance of washing hands and avoiding  
touching face (eyes and mouth) may have not been stressed  
enough.

I literally feel more sick of the lockdown measures and the  
restrictions of movement and the financial consequences that  
result of my not being able to earn a normal living with my biz  
than I would from having to cope with a flu that has a 99%  
survival rate.
