6. If covid is worse than a cold, then he's complicit in the deaths of 600,000 people.

Either he really doesn't know it's worse than the common cold or he knows. Either he's a moron or a willing accomplice to a killer virus. The Fox "News" interviewer and producers and management know. The interviewer said nothing.

This guy is an asshole. He was probably first in line to get the vaccine.

2 U.S. representatives from state given shots
by Frank E. Lockwood | December 19, 2020 at 3:34 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Steve Womack of Rogers received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 vaccine on Capitol Hill on Friday afternoon, becoming the first member of the all-Republican Arkansas congressional delegation to do so.

U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford of Jonesboro got a shot soon thereafter.

The follow-up shot will be required in 21 days, Crawford said.

Getting vaccinated now, in his view, was the right thing to do.

Thing about this is, there are so many ways it affects people differently unlike other infections which usually have a standard set of symptoms. I have covid right now as we speak, have had it for about five days. I have a cousin who's brother in law died of it in march at age 37, he had underlying health problems, wound up on a venilator . I wasn't vaccinated and neither was he . I dont know his reasons but mine were for a long time you couldnt get it and later when it looked like this thing was on the downhill slide I just procrastinated and didn't get it done . Mistake? yeah it probably was. However after five days I feel run down, lost part but not all taste , have had zero problem breathing and still felt good enough to do some much needed work on my pickup which i didn't have time for before. I was coughing fairly bad a few days ago but that is gone now. I get tested again on wednesday, if i test negative they said i'm out of the quarintine, if not i'll have to stay this way a while longer. Just the way the damn thing is though, it's really devestating to some people and not much more than a nuasance to others I'm 58, my neighbor who is 85 got over it a week ago with with really not much more trouble than i am having right now
