...more positive tests? Suppose ya worked in an office and somebody came down with covid. As a condition of employment you had to get a test for same. After the test ya had to stay home until you could bring in a clean test. So ya gets the test and it comes back positive. Three days later ya get another test and it comes back positive. Three days after that ya get another test and it comes back negative. Govt says "Two out of three tests are coming back positive. Old men hide, women shiver uncle joe pats us on the head and tells us not to worry. He gonna fix everything. Statistics are no more accurate than the method by which they are gathered. Figures don't lie, but liars do figure.

I had a nice chat with my sister yesterday. To date, she's been virus-free and unvaccinated. She gets a lot of her information from me. I'm happy she listens.

My sister had just received a phone call from a guy she'd dated in college. They did some catching up. In the course of the call, he apparently BEGGED her to get vaccinated. That told me quite a bit: The guy isn't a real deep thinker. If he were, he'd know that circumstances dictate who should get vaccinated and who should not - since, for some, the vaccine is a bigger threat than the virus. Some of you might remember that I am not anti-vaccine. I'm anti-mRNA. But I'm also anti-Covid-19. I really hope to never get either one. My sister's thinking mirrors mine - except that she's living in a plague-infested city suburb while I'm holed up in a part of the country where the Covid threat is small. To be honest, I think the combination of living where she lives while being unvaccinated is somewhat foolish. She OUGHT to get the heck out of there. She can afford to live anywhere she wants.

She then told me about her daughter, my niece, a young lawyer in NYC. My niece is fully vaccinated and boostered yet has contracted SARS-CoV-2 twice, getting quite ill both times. Her boyfriend now has Omicron. My niece is also sick, but she's been tested twice and they say she doesn't have it. I have to wonder: If she doesn't have Covid-19, what DOES she have? Maybe she's just had two false negatives.

I also have to wonder what good her vaccines and boosters have done. She's young. Covid-19 is not going to hurt her. She's not stupid so she must know this. Long-term damage done to her body by the vaccines and boosters is, as yet, unknown but the news gets worse with each passing day.

Meanwhile, here I sit in a beautiful part of the country, unvaccinated... healthy... and unaffected by this 2-going-on-3 year nightmare. Life is good. I feel bad for most of my friends and relatives, but it's a free country and I guess we're all living with the choices we make.
