By Samuel Strait, Reporter at Large – July 8, 2021 We have already been swamped by pleading from the State and Local Public Health about vaccinations, and now the Federal dictatorship in Washington has been heard to suggest that they will be sending around various federal agents to nudge compliance for those that refuse to be vaccinated. Likely in violation of federal HIPPA regulations, but hey, when has the law ever stopped the Biden Administration. At the same time our own local far left leaning radio station KFUG, led by none other than the Station's Manager, Paul Critz author of his famous radio program "the day the earth ended", has enlisted the aid of Redwood Voice, his collection of Socialist wannabes, into creating a public service announcement asking Del Norter's to get vaccinated. It's not like anybody who really cares, isn't aware of the push to vaccinate the entire country by quite a collection of do gooders. Naturally, we are all supposed to be assured that the vaccine which remains experimental, roll the dice and become guinea pigs for Pfizer, Moderna, or any of the other vaccines being administered. A typical medication is required at least a lengthy trial period of any where from three to five years. Even then, approved medications have been known to be recalled long after approval. The idea that we are suddenly being over zealous about vaccines for a particular virus which has proven to be not much more than a virus similar to the flu, mortality rate about the same currently is perplexing. The idea that California and the CDC is claiming 97.3% fully vaccinated Statewide is preposterous. Del Norte County is currently at 28.5%, with a few more having taken just one dose. Long way to go for 97.3%. Looks like all the KFUG service announcement is meant to do is continue with the "fear" message to justify anything that resembles this in the future. Now on to reality. With the decline in virus infections coupled with improving medical responses, Covid-19, Delta variation included, has become just another in a long list of viruses that has failed to exterminate mankind in spite of what has been said. Vaccination is not a cure for the Covid-19 virus, in fact many continue to test positive after vaccination. Viruses have been around for at least 8,000 years since first being recorded in ancient China, and no, not in Wuhan. The recent hysteria over the current rendition of virus is unlikely to necessitate anyone rushing out to get vaccinated. In fact currently, it would appear that the minuscule chance of contracting the disease will most likely go unnoticed by most and become a minor inconvenience by all but a few. Only those that are experiencing major health issues should be cautious, and even then improved medical practices have greatly improved your odds. Those that are beside themselves over reports of breaking the four million deaths mark for Covid, if it is even to be believed, should take heart in the fact that it is four million out of eight billion or roughly 0.0005 of the world's population. Not much of a dent. It is suspected that the world's governments and their collective reactions to the virus have created far more unintended consequences to the world's population than the virus ever did or could have done. So enough with the vaccine hysteria. California thinks it has it under control. Yeah, right!
