Strangely the myth "Covid Vaccines don't stop the spread or prevent contraction of the virus" is missing. Guess that means it is a fact.
Also missing "Covid Vaccines do not prevent death"
So that is also true.
Verified through the CDC through omission.
How about this Myth? "Unvaccinated children and people under 50 with no co-morbidities are NOT at great risk for dying from Covid,
Hmm...searching...nope, CDC doesn't list that myth.
"Unvaccinated Children have a larger chance of dying from the flu than ANY Covid strain"
Pikachu face...nope not listed as a myth by the CDC...
I can do this all day long Captain America.

The Covid vaccine does not prevent the spread of Covid. Or the chance you can contract it.
In early 2021, when COVID-19 vaccines became available, there was a prevailing belief that vaccination would prevent infection and transmission. Statements from President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and media figures suggested that vaccination would provide complete protection against the virus. However, we now know that this initial understanding was not entirely accurate.
Recent data shows that fully vaccinated adults are testing positive for COVID-19 at similar rates as unvaccinated individuals, regardless of booster shots. While vaccines may have some impact on reducing transmission, particularly by shortening the contagious period, there is limited evidence of their effectiveness against the highly contagious omicron variant, although it is less severe than the original strain.
It is important to recognize that the primary goal of vaccination was never to eradicate COVID-19 entirely. Viruses naturally mutate, making complete eradication difficult in a global population of 7 billion people.
The purpose of the vaccines was to minimize severe illness, reduce hospitalizations, and prevent deaths. Reports from the Department of Health and Human Services indicate that COVID-19 vaccinations have successfully achieved these objectives, significantly reducing hospitalizations and saving many lives.
Vaccination, therefore, should be understood as an individual decision aimed at personal protection and health. However, public health officials initially framed it as a collective effort with implications for the entire community, leading to the implementation of vaccine mandates in certain industries and cities.
While these mandates have been socially contentious, recent evidence suggests that they are also medically questionable. The spread of the omicron variant, even in highly vaccinated areas, challenges the notion that widespread vaccination can halt transmission. If vaccinated individuals can still transmit the virus, there seems to be no compelling reason to treat the unvaccinated differently.
It is time for public officials to acknowledge these facts and reassess their messaging around vaccination. This would require treating individuals as responsible agents capable of making informed decisions for themselves. Unfortunately, our health bureaucracies have been hesitant to adopt such an approach.

I do think that masks, social distancing might help prevent spreading Covid,
There is a huge difference between might and will prevent.

@dustryder
The Covid hoax revolves not around the data that was available and distributed, but the data that was known to doctors in charge of policy, but was censored solely for the purpose of boosting vaccine sales. Studies evaluating the actual rates of death of people under 60 were rarely if ever released until long after Pfizer cashed out on Covid.
The mandatory vaccination of children who had lower rates of mortality than the flu, and health officials had to know this, was a borderline criminal policy. It's not Trump that made people not trust doctors in authority. It's Pfizer.
Would it surprise you to know there are still a significant number of people who think Covid vaccines stop the spread of the virus?

Hopefully, we can get a President that will allow free speech to counter all these hoaxes/state propaganda.
But it probably won't make a difference because American propaganda is controlled by a Fascist Corporate Oligarchy.

@YouFound_Lxam
Last week, the Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board announced it would be revising its current guidelines regarding so-called " gender -affirming care" for minors because it no longer considers them to be evidence-based. The board also acknowledged that the growing number of teenage girls identifying as male post-puberty remains under-studied.
Under the proposed updated guidelines, the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition-related surgery would be restricted to research contexts and no longer provided in clinical settings. Norway joins Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom in introducing greater safeguarding for children. In the United States, eight states thus far have banned affirmative care for individuals under 18, with Tennessee being the latest to pass such legislation.
This reasonable policy should have been the approach from the start. The unfortunate fact is that the fanatic accusations of Nazism and Fascism from the "progressive" -woke- left effectively shut down any and all discussion on the desirable effective medical approach while exposing children to highly experimental treatments that are not yet understood. We should not want to cause more harm than we cure.
This craze should be an interesting case study of how a small, vocal minority can absolutely hijack a society. I say "interesting" - more like "tragic" for young people who were unwittingly involved as test subjects in this experiment. It's the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, but for 1st world whites this time around for those that never learned.

Did you know that a great part of these immigrants come from Venezuela?
The United States has been involved in the ongoing instability in Venezuela through various means over the years. The US adopted a policy of imposing economic sanctions in response to human rights abuses, democratic erosion, and corruption. These sanctions have targeted Venezuelan government officials and entities, as well as the country's oil sector, impacting its economy. The U.S. has arbitrarily expressed support for opposition figures, recognizing Juan Guaidó as the interim president and calling for democratic reforms and free and fair elections. Diplomatic measures, such as withdrawing recognition of the Maduro government and coordinating efforts with international partners, have been taken to address the crisis. Strangely, the US appears to operate on a direct correlation between a nation's oil reserves and the perceived need for U.S. intervention in promoting democratic values. Countries with significant oil reserves often face ridiculous levels of U.S. intervention in their internal affairs. Even a casual larper can see that considerations of resource availability influences US policy to intervene in the name of democracy. Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Ukraine...

Here are the historic time frames for US meddling with Venezuela.
- Early 20th Century: 1902-1903 (Venezuela Crisis)
- Cold War Era: 1945-1991 (spanning the duration of the Cold War)
- Late 20th Century: 1999-2013 (during the presidency of Hugo Chávez)
- Recent Years: 2013-present (ongoing involvement in response to the political and economic crisis under President Nicolás Maduro)

America destabilizing the world has been a thing since 1840 when America used Manifest Destiny (and still does re-branded as "spreading Democracy") as a justification to forcefully uproot nations and indenture them to the cause of the USA.

Democrats deserve to be heard and not lied to by establishment politicians.
When they promise to repeal the Trump tax cuts and people vote for them to do exactly that, then they should do it.
Not exercising the will of the voter is almost as big of a threat to Democracy as Jan 6.
Republicans pose an existential threat to the country, and should never be appeased.

"$15 minimum wage, totally kidding. Giant Lie. Not going to do it at all. They're trying to kill it right now. Giant lie, and it's so easy. Paid sick leave, nothing. Raising taxes on the rich to get it back to where it was pre-Trump. They never even planned to do that ever. It was always a lie. It was always a lie. How many times are these Democrats going to lie, and then think like, gee, I don't know why we lost the next election? But Biden's now talking about the parliamentarian. The parliamentarian, as if the parliamentarian is president, as if Joe Manchin is president. Joe Biden, who's president, you or Manchin? If it's Manchin, let's go talk to that guy every day because you're obviously abdicating your responsibility. You're never going to raise taxes on the rich. You're all goddamn liars. You work for the rich. Keep it real.
And so, if you take a look at how much money these people are worth, and it's a general ballpark, they might actually be worth more. But you take a look at that, and we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, hundreds of millions of dollars. This is for the House of Representatives. You move over to the Senate, and you see the exact same thing. Now, clearly, Republican senators and Republican members of the House tend to be a little wealthier, but you have some Democrats in there as well. And so, if you're worth, I mean, in this case with Rick Scott from Florida, he's in the Senate, he's worth more than $240 million. That is his net worth. These are not people who have any interest in ensuring that wealthy people pay their fair share. There's a giant conflict of interest of people this wealthy serving in Congress in the first place. They're not going to look out for you, they don't have your best interests at heart, and they will change their messaging depending on what the policy is to ensure that they don't actually have to do right by you and carry out what's in your best interests.
Yeah, I'm so tired of all of this. It's all this fake drama. They're all in on the game, the Republicans, the Democrats, especially on the taxes. They're all incredibly wealthy. They're all screwing us. You know how Rick Scott made his fortune? Biggest Bank Robbery in American History. By committing the largest Medicare fraud in American history. That's a fact, you can look it up. And Democrats have lost to him half a dozen times. The most incompetent loser party you've ever seen. The guy's outright criminal, the biggest bank robbery in the sense of Medicare of our taxpayer money, and then he takes that wealth and then he buys himself a Senate seat. And then he says, 'I got a great idea. I'll keep my taxes low, ha ha.' So that way, I don't have to give back any of the money I stole from you. So it's a bunch of thugs and criminals that run this country. And the Democrats, we're all so tired of your lies.
So here, I'll go to our members again. Just remember, this isn't the first time that Biden went behind the backs of voters to make tax cuts permanent. He secretly cut a deal to make the Bush era tax cuts permanent. That's absolutely true. You can look that up too. And so is Biden really going to raise taxes back to where they were, like he promised? No way, no way he's going to do that. The donors run Washington. And look, I'll say one last time in Where Else In The Media is this story, where else in the media do you see the truth? Where else do you see them talking about broken promises? By the way, every one of these proposals is overwhelmingly popular in the country. Where else do you see them saying, 'Hey, they're all rich, and all their donors are all rich, and that's why they constantly cut their taxes and never increase them.' You ever see that anywhere else in the media? You think the media can't figure it out? They can't read the donors? Either they're incredibly incompetent or they're part of this corrupt system. So no, I got news for you. They're not going to increase those taxes anywhere near where they were, if they ever get to it at all. And it's yet another broken promise by Democrats, then they wonder why they get their asses handed to them on a regular basis."

The Democrats have shown no intention of reversing the tax cuts for the wealthy that were implemented during the Trump era, despite previously criticizing those cuts. Even Joe Biden campaigned on the idea of reversing these tax cuts, but it seems they have changed their stance. One anonymous Democrat, speaking to the Hill, expressed concern about reversing the tax cuts, claiming that raising taxes could be problematic during an economic crisis. However, this Democrat's opinion is unpopular, and many believe that it is a lie when Democrats use the pandemic or economic situation as an excuse to avoid reversing the tax cuts. The data shows that billionaires have seen a significant increase in their wealth during the pandemic, while many families in the United States continue to struggle with unemployment, lack of insurance, and hunger. The combined net worth of America's billionaires has reached $4.2 trillion, highlighting the stark contrast between their prosperity and the economic hardships faced by ordinary citizens. It is frustrating to see Democrats, including House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, express concerns about raising taxes and potentially jeopardizing bipartisan cooperation on infrastructure bills. This reluctance to take action on important issues and fulfill their campaign promises is a recurring pattern among Democrats. The discussion also touches on the influence of money in politics, with many lawmakers being extremely wealthy themselves, which creates a conflict of interest when it comes to implementing policies that could affect their own finances. This hypocrisy and self-interest demonstrate a lack of genuine concern for the well-being of the American people.
The Democrats, particularly Senator Joe Manchin, are causing issues within the party. Manchin initially stated in January that repealing the Trump tax cuts while the COVID-19 pandemic still impacts the economy would be ridiculous. However, he later backtracked, saying everything is open for discussion. Other Democratic lawmakers, like Senator Jon Tester, have cautioned against raising taxes when the estimated real unemployment rate is around 10%. They suggest addressing other legislative priorities, such as increasing vaccine availability and closing certain tax loopholes. The speaker expresses frustration with Democrats' approach to tax cuts, contrasting it with Republicans' swift implementation of tax cuts for the wealthy. They criticize the Democrats for making campaign promises but failing to follow through, citing examples like reducing the COVID relief checks from $2,000 to $1,400 and abandoning the $15 minimum wage. The speaker accuses Democrats of lying, being beholden to the wealthy, and prioritizing their own interests over the public's. The influence of money in politics is mentioned, highlighting the significant wealth of many lawmakers and the potential conflict of interest in creating policies that would require them to pay more in taxes. The speaker argues that these wealthy politicians do not genuinely support policies that benefit the average citizen and will adjust their messaging accordingly. They criticize both Republicans and Democrats for being part of a corrupt system and assert that the media fails to expose the truth about broken promises and the influence of money in politics. The conclusion is a pessimistic view of Democrats' willingness to raise taxes and a belief that their failure to deliver on promises contributes to their electoral losses.

Yet one surprise about the new tax law is not yet making headlines. In passing their own version of tax reform, the Democrats left the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act completely intact, despite five years of promises to repeal it. No less than President Biden himself made a campaign promise that “on Day 1, I will move to eliminate Trump’s tax cuts.”
