Yes, you’ve got it. You said it better than I could. I think you’re hung up on the definition of “alive”. Is a virus alive? How about a seed? Or a neuron, which is a cell that doesn’t reproduce? How about pollen, which like the influenza virus floats through the air, then lands on another plant and fertilizes it? Hell if I know. But viruses contain RNA or DNA, which is what’s needed to reproduce. And as you said, by hijacking cells’ machinery they replicate, spread and can cause disease.
Yeah it’s complicated, but no more so than starting with building blocks of nucleic acids and other chemicals billions of years ago, and ending up with humans today.
No, Viruses aren't alive. They posse no characteristics of a living organism.
...Hopefully COVID is history. The eccie brain trust needs to devote itself to more important matters IMHO. We've got to break our COVID posting addiction WYID!
If by that, you mean: Burn it all down and string up the perpetrators of the tyranny against the free citizens (also the incarcerated ones) of this country (and others), then heck yeah! Because, say it with me:
THEY LIED TO YOUR FACE, JIGGERED THE NUMBERS, CENSORED DISSENT, FORCED TYRANNY ON US AND TRIED TO COVER IT AL UP!
Who the heck do they think they are? Communist Chyyyyna?!?
I didn't mean that in that literal sense. As such -- My Bad. I mean it more in the American vernacular of the Declaration of Independence.
Quote:
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
Let's all realize that Despots and power hungry apparatchiks do not typically relinquish power voluntarily or easily. Oh sure, it could get a bit chippy, but it doesn't have to. Sundown is in November 2024. The next day the sun will come up. Will it be over a scorched earth or a new dawn?
Because -- We the People say you can't We won't be fooled again

Time to move on WYID. Please note the title of the thread, "Sars_CoV2 in Retreat." This hopefully was a once in a hundred year thing. The last time we had a major pandemic was in 1918. That's not to say we shouldn't be prepared. I only had 30 N95 masks in my stockpile back in 2020, along with the usual (canned food, water, ammo). Now I have many more!
If you live in a place like Austin, perhaps you should consider moving, say, 30 miles to the west. Out here in the Texas hinterlands where I live, for better or worse, there were virtually no COVID-related restrictions on people or business after the first few months. The people here think like you do.
Yeah, we'll never be able to do anything about a federal government that takes our money and wastes it, but otherwise you can control your destiny by where you choose to live.
Lol. If that post is a WYID original, I salute your creativity. You need to change the music though. With the right melody you might have something there like American Pie. Or It's the End of the World as We Know It and I Feel Fine.
... Ye Christ! ... Are ANY of you mates paying attention
to the news??!
... Here's Australia to the rescue! ... Some of our Australian
leaders there questioning Pfizer officials AND ------
THIS little beauty of a FACT surely squeaks out from Pfizer:
That certain health workers and "well-to-do" and Pfizer's own
people RECEIVED a DIFFERENT VACCINE than the general public.
Think this onley happened in Australia or the UK??
No doubt it happened here in the states. ...
Oh, and I'd surely be remiss if I forget to mention yet-another
little revelation - this one from the UK:
That 90% of the Covid deaths over the last two years in The UK
are people who have been TRIPLE VAXXED! ...
... <sigh> ... So much for FORCING people to get the jab.. ..
