Covid questions for discussion that you might (or might not) want to ask yourself, your friends, and your family.
Ask these in sequence, and try to stop before someone punches you in the face:
Has anyone in your family or your circle of close friends died from covid, or been hospitalized for it?
If so, what was their relation to you? How old were they? Did they have any comorbidities that you are aware of?
Do you have comorbidities? If so, which ones?
Have you been vaccinated against covid? If so, which vaccine(s)? How many doses? Will you take more doses?
Have you had covid? How many times? How bad was it (each time)?
What was the covid infection fatality rate (IFR) for the population pre-omicron? For omicron?
What is the IFR for your age group?
What is the difference between the definitions of IFR (infection fatality rate) and CFR (case fatality rate)?
What fraction of the population in your country has antibodies against SARS-CoV2?
Can you have immunity to SARS-CoV2 without having S1 RBD antibodies? (ignore this question if it is too technical).
Do the current covid vaccines effectively prevent infection and transmission?
Should hospitals admit people who are not vaccinated? If "no", then what about people who smoke, or are overweight, or engage in extreme sports?
Should covid vaccines be mandatory? What about for those with documented immunity due to infection and recovery?
Do you have young children? How old are they?
What is the IFR for children? Should covid vaccines be mandatory for young children?
Have you (or will you) vaccinate your children with the covid mRNA vaccines? If βyesβ, why? If βnoβ, why not?
Do you have concerns that many other countries including in Western Europe have banned or restricted giving covid mRNA vaccines to younger people, but the USA has not, but has indeed attempted to mandate them in young people (e.g. to attend school and to work)?
Which of the covid vaccines available in the your country have as their method of action inducing your own cells to produce spike protein? (ignore this question if it is too technical).
Do you have any health concerns about SARS-CoV2 spike protein alone (as distinguished from the live virus) and about the possible consequences of vaccination and repeated boosting to induce your own cells to produce spike protein? (ignore this question if it is too technical).
Do you have any concerns that (in the USA) the vaccine companies (who invented, produce, and profit from the vaccines), and the US government (who are attempting to mandate the vaccines) are immune from liability for vaccine-induced harms?
Do you have any concerns regarding the US government, mainstream media, and/or big tech's censorship of information contrary to the US government's position(s) on covid vaccines and other information about covid (e.g. the possibility of a laboratory origin, the effectiveness of lockdowns and NPIs, etc)?
What probability do you assign to the hypotheses that SAR-CoV2 originated in a lab? If you believe the probability is >0.0 do you believe the lab(s) may have used USG funding? If βyesβ, was that legal?
If the probability is >0.0, do you believe there should be congressional investigations into this question?
How many credit-hours of graduate-level immunology have you passed?
Does masking slow the spread of covid? Whether you believe masks work or not, what evidence can you point to to support your position? If you don't have evidence one way or the other, how did you arrive at your opinion?
Is it preferable to do your own research and make your own decisions on matters pertaining to covid (and personal health in general, and diet, and drugs) or is it preferable to outsource your decision-making to US government health authorities (CDC, FDA, NIH) and/or to google, facebook, and the MSM?
Are USG authorities correct regarding the safety and efficacy of all other pharmaceuticals? All other medical matters? What about regarding the war on drugs?
Regarding covid, was Sweden a "disaster", or did Sweden "do the right thing"? What about Florida? California? China? India? Africa?
Should "covid misinformation" (as defined by the USG) be prohibited from distribution by media and tech platforms? If so, is that a violation of the first amendment?
Should those who express or publish "covid misinformation" (as defined by the USG) be classified as "domestic terrorists" as the Biden administration has attempted to do via the DHS? If so, is that a violation of the first amendment?
Is the covid data coming out of the PRC believable? What about the data coming out of the USG?
Does the World Economic Forum (WEF) have a positive agenda for humanity? One that you agree with? If so, which parts?
What other questions would you add to this list, or how might you reword any existing questions?
A comprehensive question set. Given the delay in many feedback loops (does current vaccine protect against current COVID), can an optimal solution be found?
