By the way, did you know the largest unvaxxed educational group is people with PhD's?
Second bold: This is absolutely not a "once in a lifetime" pandemic. Many of us on this board are old enough to remember small pox: twice as contagious and nearly 100x as deadly as COVID-19. There are also some folks alive who lived through the polio epidemic: roughly as contagious as small pox, but even more deadly. It also comes with the added issue of paralysis for many. Kind of makes "long COVID" seem trivial. The fact that this "once in a lifetime pandemic" line is circulating shows just how much misinformation is out there. Real misinformation, not just the kind that contradicts a narrative.
Third bold: neither here nor there to the argument, but there really is no "if" about it. The forensics point that direction, and the "Fauci emails" acknowledged it.
