  1. This virus will continue for more than a decade. We will lose millions of souls. The economy will fizzle to its core. Finito!

    1. @Rebellc My God says there are two genders male and female. Your science says their are way more. I’ll believe my God over your science.

    2. @Matthew Sigurdson We have proof science works. There’s no proof that a heavenly father or mother exists. The Bible is a fable in long form. I get where you’re coming from…. but I’ll stick with the science. Stay healthy.

    1. @Sweeptheleg !
      Oh I recognize them.
      I’ve seen “it’s” prior posts.
      They need to be reminded of their hypocrisy.

  2. Nature is doing what most human beings refuse to do. Nature is thinning out it’s worst enemies with its own version of vaccine.

    1. Solomon, we here at DTFWP are having a fund raiser for what you are in favor of, would you like the donation information ?

  3. Order Out of Chaos has several meanings, ranging from nebulous metaphysical deeds to concrete social engineering. On a wider scale, this motto is the ultimate recipe for a drastic change in society: 1) An event causes chaos and panic 2) A solution surfaces which also happens to advance the agenda of the elite 3) Society changes without resistance.

    1. And 4) The rest of the world watch without surprise as America fumbles with basic scientific and medical models and calls a predicted pandemic and known virus “chaos” 🙄 But don’t let that stop your schoolboy doomsdaying.

    1. Am I correctly understanding that you want to blame the Biden administration on its 8th day? You better call on your friend Jesus again.

    2. Does your God approve of your fraudulent political rhetoric?
      Interesting how one uses God as instrument of misinformation.

    3. Matthew Sigurdson, Alexei Navalny, is trying to replace Putin. If Navalny is released and replaces Putin, there is a chance that the Russian interference with American politics will slow on social media, and there will be fewer Russia bots in the comment section. If there are fewer Russia bots in the comments, do you think the number of click-bait comments will also decline ?

  4. That’s the theory UK has adopted, leave up to 12 weeks between 1st and 2nd dose to get more people vaccinated early. Better to have 10 million with 75% immunity (1 dose) than 5 million with 95% immunity(2 doses).

    Plus, going by the data so far, the first dose appears to reduce the instance of ‘severe’ covid infection (needing hospitalisation) by over 90% although this has yet to be fully proven by empirical data.

    1. If you choose to not want to wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands, or get a vaccine, no problem, just do not go to the hospital when you catch it. Rather than waste time fighting which opinion regarding those things is correct, let everyone do what they want, the end result is the same. Everyone will catch it, there will be herd immunity, those that followed the rules will have fewer problems and deserve medical care if the need it. Fair ?

    2. @Rejuvinatez trump had an entire year to get the virus under control and you sat back and cheered him on as he did nothing, _now_ you expect Biden to clean up the trump administration’s mess in a week? gtfo

  5. Look, the problems we’ve had distributing the vaccine are caused _purely_ by poor planning. We don’t need to start skipping doses for anyone. _We need to develop an infrastructure in this country that helps keep people alive,_ instead of every single thing in this nation being entirely about making money. _That’s the problem here._ Remember, doses are being thrown away. The problem isn’t a shortage of vaccines. It’s a lack of planning. The only real solution is to get better at planning.

  6. Everyone should act as if they have got the virus and always wear your face nappy and keep your distance.

  7. Rather than waste time fighting which opinion regarding these topics is correct, let everyone do what they want, the end result is the same. If you do not want to wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands, or get a vaccine, no problem, just do not go to the hospital when you catch it. . Everyone will get it, there will be herd immunity, those that followed the rules will have fewer long term issues, and deserve medical care when they catch it.
