The food production level, however, is exponentially higher -- not a trivial factor.

There seem to be a lot of comments about civil war or splitting being a solution to the country's woes. If, however, you look at a voting map on a county by county basis, it is startling -- vast majority are red.

btw, myocarditis, hemi-paralysis, and stroke-like responses are, imo, a little more serious than a rash... you, know, in case you happened to be looking into it for yourself

I appreciate your reasoned response and agree with you. I would add, though, that there seems to be enough evidence that, at least for some people, that the vaccines can cause significant harm. Additionally, for many age cohorts, that risk of harm outweighs the benefits of the vaccine.

If the common narrative was that you should jump from a plane, apparently you would do so without stopping to question it for yourself.

There is evidence that the vaccines are not safe, but that is not my question. My question is why the "hard-sell" and blanket rejection of ANY contrary views.

.. funny -- downvotes to this question actually reinforce the point of the question

Any links to the trials?

mrakve | 4 years ago | on: Virtually all hospitalized Covid patients have one thing in common: unvaccinated

...why the relentless vaccine "hard-sell" and the irrational opposition to any questions regarding it's safety?

Thank them for their time, decline their offer, and look for a position that is in line with your expectations. Your "future self" will thank you for making this choice.
