I'm seeing mostly unmasked people in stores now. I doubt they are all vax'd. I've yet to see anybody have an issue with people being maskless.

If you haven't already, I implore EVERYONE to listen to the most recent Joe Rogan podcast.
Episode #1671.
Guests are Bret Weinstein and Pierre Kory.
They discuss using Ivermectin both as a preventative medicine to COVID and as a treatment for COVID.
It is fascinating and they have all kinds of studies and case studies.

Life expectancy in the US dropped. Because of the lockdowns, lack of personal health care, depression, etc. As...we said...it would be.
www.newsmax.com
The study published Wednesday in The BMJ found that “The U.S. had a much larger decrease in life expectancy between 2018 and 2020 than other high income countries, with pronounced losses among the Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black populations.”
The study authors said that the “inequitable effects on racial and ethnic minority groups are likely the products of longstanding policy choices and systemic racism.”
According to NBC News, even the study authors were surprised at the results.
“I naively thought the pandemic would not make a big difference in the gap because my thinking was that it’s a global pandemic, so everybody is going to take a hit,” said Dr. Steven H. Woolf, director emeritus of the Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University, lead author of the study. “What I didn’t anticipate was how badly the U.S. would handle the pandemic.”
The new research found that between 2018 and 2020, the life expectancy of Americans plummeted approximately 1.9 years, or 8.5 times the average decrease in 16 similar countries where the average decrease in lifespan was 2.5 months.
The average decrease in life expectancy for Black Americans was 3.25 years, and for the Hispanic population, the study found that the life expectancy fell by just under 3.9 years.
“These are numbers we aren’t at all used to seeing in this research; 0.1 years is something that normally gets attention in the field, so 3.9 years and 3.25 years is just horrible,” said Dr. Woolf, according to NBC News. “We haven’t had a decrease of that magnitude since World War II.
Woolf said that after World War II, life expectancy climbed in the U.S. until the 1990’s when it began to slow down, and statistics showed that American lifespans began to decline compared to other wealthy nations. However, in 2019, life expectancy increased by 1.5 months, just before the pandemic hit the country.
The new study analyzed data from the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Human Mortality Database, to determine the changes in life expectancy between 2018 and 2020 among white, Black and Hispanic Americans.
Woolf explained that the numbers do not predict how long a baby born in 2020 will live, but rather how the pandemic affected the death rate of the entire population. The expert added that COVID-19 will have long-term effects on the health of those born during the height of the pandemic because of the financial and social consequences left in its wake.
“This isn’t to say that the lifespan of a child born last year will be shortened to these predictions, but on average, we can expect that today’s children will be affected by this experience,” Woolf said, according to NBC News.
Until last year, the life expectancy for Hispanic Americans had been higher than for white Americans, but COVID-19 had a devastating effect on this community, as it did on Black Americans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics these groups were twice as likely to die from the disease as white Americans.
Woolf anticipated a larger decrease in life expectancy based on these figures, “but the scale of difference was horrific,” he said.
And experts warn we may continue to see racial and ethnic disparities in the aftereffects of the pandemic.
“We still have to pay attention to the social determinants of health that were occurring before the pandemic, which made Black and brown communities at a higher risk of dying of the coronavirus,” said Melissa S. Creary, Ph.D., assistant professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan. “The root causes of comorbidity aren’t biological, they’re social.”

Life Expectancy in US Plummets During Pandemic

I haven't seen the Joe Rogan podcast, but I have seen them on DarkHorse podcast. It it a small miracle that Brett has not been cancelled by Big Tech for this blasphemy. God bless him for his bravery. And God damn the medical establishment for not allowing due diligence on both Ivermectin and HCQ.

Why biological weapons should never be ****** around with by anyone. You can never predict the outcome of a mutation from something that should never have existed in the first place.

What's wrong with Delta??
There is no way in hell we're going to populate Mars at this rate and I'm still waiting on my flying car.

Bombshell Wikileaks Email: Hillary Knew Wuhan Was a Bioweapon Threat in 2009
Certainly, Clinton wasn't the only official who declined to make this connection. There are likely hundreds who refused to come forward.
www.westernjournal.com
So they knew what this place was about back in 2009 before it was ******* even built.
I'd love to see the intelligence on the Wuhan lab the last 4 years.
Holy ****, Tibs' and Floggy's and Bidens' favorite country China developing bioweapons that target by RACE.
Good, God.

That high ranking Chinese defector last week spilled the beans on these *******. I'm probably a little more leaning toward they left their little lab creation spread.
Now when you make a bioweapon that will not come back and kill Chinese you really have something.
Better than nuclear weapons. They could easily transport it to a target undetected and release it. We would never know. They could already have a bunch of covid variants ready to go.
The world should be smashing them right now.
Nah, the Bidens and Lebron stand to lose too much money.

Wow, more devastating news about the lockdowns and what they did to this country.
bongino.com
No event has been as devastating to the credibility of so-called “experts” as the COVID-19 pandemic and the policies and hypocrisy it produced.
No one in charge actually seemed to believe that they were pushing. Top U.K. scientist Neil Ferguson, whose coronavirus death projections were largely responsible for their strict lockdowns, had to resign after being caught breaking quarantine to see a lover. California Governor Gavin Newsom was photographed dining indoors maskless when it was illegal for the rest of the state to do so – Austin Mayor Steve posted to social media to encourage his city’s residents not to travel, while he was in Cabo – Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer traveled out of state while encouraging others not to travel – Dr. Birx visited family on Thanksgiving while telling others to avoid it – Fauci was seen maskless at a baseball game – and the list goes on and on.
The policies they enacted for the rest of us weren’t without cost, and the new book “The War on Small Business” by Carol Roth surveys the damage. It’s one of the few books on the economic consequences of lockdowns, and the most detailed I could find. The book explores how the government picked winners and losers during the pandemic, how the COVID stimulus was a test run for a universal basic income, how small business isn’t just the engine of economic activity but also a roadblock to a political power grab, how state and local governments abused power, and why cronyism is being confused with capitalism.
As Roth documents, by only the middle of 2020, 6.7% of all small businesses with employees (as opposed to a sole proprietorship) were forever shuttered. By November, in heavily locked down states such as New York and New Jersey, one third of small businesses had closed during the year. Nationwide, 15.1 million people were still out of work due to their employer closing temporarily or permanently, and this was at a time when most states had moved beyond “remain at home” lockdowns to allowing businesses open with restricted capacity.
Even with the end of the most severe lockdowns, problems lingered. As Roth notes, an analysis from Alignables December 2020 small business survey found that 48% said they risked failure by the end of December, and only 43% were confident they could survive through June 2021. It’s now June, and the number of U.S. small businesses has declined 40% since lockdowns began – and the most recent polling finds 35% of small businesses say they risk permanently closing by summer. Reopening doesn’t solve the accumulated problems from lockdowns – any rent deferred during that time period still has to be paid.
As Roth points out, much of the economic recovery has been in the form of big business capturing market share previously held by small business. That’s to be expected as small businesses were ordered closed, forcing sales to big box retailers and websites like Amazon that have online businesses to sell from. Most stock market gains in the pandemic-era have been due to a concentrated number of stocks (particularly in tech) seeing outsized gains, while most small companies floundered.
Even during the early stages of the pandemic big business disproportionately benefitted from aid programs. 92% of all PPP loan requests from $5-10 million were approved, compared to only 59% of all loans (in April 2020). Airlines got a $60 billion bailout. 21,000 medical practices got loans, as did 14,310 law firms by July. That the PPP program allowed for businesses with up to 500 employees just goes to show that it was never truly designed to help just small businesses (though it did help many).
The only silver lining is that this doesn’t all apply quite as much to those fortunate enough to have lived in red states during the pandemic.
As I covered previously, there has been an obvious political divide that opened up when it comes to the economic recovery of the states, with more lockdown hesitant states outperforming. Red States have been leading the economic recovery from the pandemic, with the unemployment rate in blue states peaking at 59% higher than their red state counterparts back in October. Of the top 20 states that recovered the fastest from the pandemic (measured in terms of the percentage of jobs recovered that were lost), 17 have Republican governors. Idaho and Utah lead the pack, having recovered more jobs than they lost from the pandemic. They recovered 114.4% and 113.2% of their respective job losses. That Republican-led states also tend to have less regulation and taxes to begin with also boosted their recoveries.
The Consequences of Lockdowns Were Worse Than We Thought
Remember "fifteen days to slow the spread"?
