Yes, my Covid-lite view won't appeal to all, especially those who've lost people to this 'weaker' variant.
I'm irritated, I wasn't vaxxed because I was willing to take my chances, and yet I still must be if I wish to fly to my country of birth, even though I've got antibodies and am willing to take the pre-flight-no-covid tests? Meh, poop.
I wish you and all a safe journey through these times, they are testing that is for sure.
I really do truly feel for those who have lost people. But I also know that the easiest way to control people is through fear. And unfortunately in this day and age everybody seems to fear death for some reason. I personally, cannot wait to get out of the skin sack and be released to whatever is next as I figure it can't be that bad and hell it may even be fantastic. But either way my curiosity has the best of me and I'm ready to go whenever the universe decides it's time. My grandpa taught me about how terrible it is to fear things. He said you can yell and scream and threaten to burn a cornfield down and it won't make you any more corn. And you can yell and scream at a chicken to lay more eggs or you'll kill it, and it won't lay any more eggs. This is because the corn and the chicken don't understand death, and definitely don't fear it. But at some point in time somebody realized that you can threaten to take from another person and if you threaten somebody who fears death they more than likely will give you what they have produced. From that we have settled into the society that we have where we willingly give in the form of taxes, freedoms, and so many other things. For example in America we believe we have freedom and ownership of stuff. But we don't. I "own" my land but if I don't pay my taxes to the king, they'll come and take it from me. Also concerning our rights which is what gives us our freedoms. My grandpa told me about what they did to the Japanese American citizens in 1942 in America. Rights aren't right so if somebody can take them from you, their privileges.
A quote that springs to mind often in these troubling times - Carlin, is it not? :)
I don't know why everyone keeps talking about the people who died, whenever anyone questions these insane restrictions. Like if you dislike an authoritarian, vindictive regime, you're automatically some asshole who wants people to die? Seems like flawed logic to me.
I've also noticed a lot of people use this as a trump card, whenever you question the vaccine/restrictions - "Oh, I've lost people to Covid". Matter of fact, so have I. Don't think they would've been any better off if I or anyone else in the world had been vaccinated or subjected to any of these insane rules.
Anyway, your grandfather taught you well indeed!
Yes, Mr. Carlin. My grandpa loved him and his ability to see through people trying to feed others bullshit sandwiches...and he loved him for not being afraid to say things as he saw them. I hope you have a fantastic day and that you and your loved ones stay safe in these troubled times. I said when this all started that people are going to kill more people during this whole deal then the virus will and i believe that statement holds true and will continue to hold true. I send my love and happiest, healthiest vibrations to you and your loved ones.🤗🤗🤗🤗
Oh, I agree completely (unfortunately) :) I hope you and yours have a better 2022, full of everything you hope it will be, as well! Thank you.

@johndoer123(1/1) gave you LUV.
Your Grandfather taught you some good lessons :)
Of course, it's terrible to hear people losing loved ones, for any reason. This is life though isn't it? We arrive, we do what we do, and we depart.
The fear and control, beamed to us via that lovely box in the corner, (I don't own one) is just disgusting. Hence the link to the timeless Rage Against The Machine lyrics in the post. Strike fear, control, suppress, take your privileges', do what we say, and have a nice day!
