Though I am fully vaccinated, I still need to protect against a breakthrough infection from the Delta variant. In which case, I would not be sick, but would still be infectious and capable of infecting someone who is immunocompromised,--or unvaccinated. Let's fight the virus, not each other.

You can still get it if vaccinated, and the mask has been linked to pnomonia

I'm fully vaccinated with booster. BUT My immune system is compromised And I am over 63 yrs. Old. So a mask 😷🎭 is not a problem.

Only when there are children present and cannot distance until the vaccines have been approved for children under 12. If parents do not wish to vaccinate their children I do hope they have taught them healthy habits and Universal precautions.

Try to stop the spread to others. It doesn't matter if you care or not.

Mask have not proven effective at stoping covid. They cause headaches, acne, breathing issues and other issues. I am tired of small businesses being shut down while places like Walmart and Amazon have profited from the pandemic. I am tired of being lied to. No more mandates or mask or closures!

Masks are garbage against a virus. Cross contamination is not a conspiracy theory.

We have known since last year children are of effectively zero risk. They are also not effective at spreading the virus. Plenty of examples of schools without masks not increasing general rates of community spread. None are providing statistics/scientific studies supporting mask demands for kids.

Let's get EVERYBODY vaccinated is THE SOLUTION!!! I'm fine if you don't want to BUT stay home when you get Covid and don't take up space in the hospital.

I did what I was supposed to do. Im fully vaccinated as is my immediate family.. I'm not going to try and protect other folks who refuse to have personal accountability. I am worried about the kids though. They have no alternative. They need to mask up for safety.

The real choice: Vaccinate or Die? If you are a Patriot/Revolutionary, you are vaccinated. If you're NOT, I believe that person's Health Insurance premiums should increase to $10,000 per month and disqualify the Individual from Subsidized Health Care. No more enabling "Stupid".

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
