Take it from the biochemist who used to work with vaccines:
1. Some vaccines will keep you from getting sick: measles, mumps, rubella, etc.
2. Some vaccines won't keep you from getting sick, but it will keep you from dying: COVID, flu, etc.
3. Some people can't get vaccines, or vaccines don't work for them. They are a tiny percentage of the population.
4. Side effects from vaccines are normal.
5. mRNA vaccine technology has been around for 20 years. It's not *that* new.
6. Vaccine cards have been around for a very long time. You'd know that if you traveled to certain countries, or looked it up on Google.
7. I'm getting tired of saying all this stuff to people. At this point, I don't give a flying fuck what you believe, grow the fuck up and just get your fucking vaccine and/or booster shot. But if you insist on being a selfish asshole, stay the fuck away from me.

Friends and followers please please take a moment of your time today to submit a comment on the United States Fish & Wildlife's survey https://www.relistwolves.org/comment-action on re-listing Gray Wolves as an endangered species. You don't even have to be a U.S. citizen. This has been a really hard 3+ years of legislation for wolves, especially considering Idaho's "Kill Bill" of 2021 which authorized the cull of 90% of wolves in the state. Wolves are a critical species in our ecosystems & there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that they are not the threat that many communities perceive them to be.
