Here in Portugal we have one of the highest rates of vaccination in the world, 88% or so. Group imunity has been reached by 70% i believe.
Still, there is a frenzy from the media to allienate the few ones who hadn't take the vaccine, and news ad nauseum repeting that the only ones in intensive care today are unvaccinated.
Even common people give you the eye if you tell them you are not vaccinated, regardless if you have auto imune diseases and your doctor told you not to take the vaccine.
There are already several treatment options, cheap, and more efective than the praised vaccine.
That's so irritating that people would treat others like that over a virus that over 99.99% of Canadians under age 65 have thus far survived [only 3,072 Canadians under 65 have died - out of over 31 MILLION in that age range! Can you believe that?].
Your post got me thinking...
As some here on Getbig know, I rarely use steroids, just because I find I always end up back at my natural body weight anyway after enough time passes [give it three years without hormones, and not one IFBB pro bodybuilder in normal clothes will look like he ever touched a weight in his life].
So I've always just sort of accepted that, and was fine with my physique anyway [and, no matter what anyone thinks about size - the bottom line is, it's healthier to have a BMI in the optimal range than to be vastly heavier, even if that disparity in body weight is chiefly muscle].
But I think now might be a good time to run an actual real cycle, for the first time for me since 2006.
Once the weather gets warmer, I'll be able to wear tank tops, and one thing I noticed about being unmasked at stores in a tank top us that NO ONE had the balls to confront me over not wearing a mask.
It happened ONCE last July at a retail store, and I shut that bitch down so fast, it wasn't even funny.
This has gone on way too long. People need to start pushing back. Masks are intended to be nothing more than a visual reminder of a pandemic that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON HERE would have even noticed if NOT for the masks, and the 24/7/365 news coverage for the past [almost] two years now.
I'm extremely cooperative to any person politely telling me to wear a mask. If the reason is that they are going to get in trouble at work, and they are polite about it, I'll offer to go outside and wait.
But the SECOND that I get the least bit of attitude from ANY rude person STILL scared of a virus they have more than a 99.9% chance of surviving, I immediately show them my police letter that explicitly states I don't have to wear a mask.
The police showed up when I wasn't wearing a mask, and I am currently in the process of charging them. I gave them a FULL YEAR to deal with the matter in-house, and they didn't. They even claimed to have lost the paperwork of when they showed up to a chain bookstore I was at, when the manager called 9-1-1 on me for not wearing a mask.

The police messed up badly, and any motivation I had to wear a mask "for the greater good" [there have been over 47 major studies on masking so far, and NO evidence proving they help] completely disappeared because of the intimidation used against me to attempt to get me to wear a mask.
Someone calling 9-1-1 on me for not wearing a mask?

Seriously??
And why the fuck did the police show up? Mask exemptions are CODIFIED IN CANADIAN LAW, AND EVEN THE USELESS DISTRICT HEALTH UNIT WEBSITE HERE EXPLICITLY STATES THAT MASK EXEMPTIONS CANNOT BE ENFORCED.
Yet the police are illegally enforcing people to wear masks here.
That's why at this point - being SO OVER ALL OF THIS SHIT - now might be the time to juice up to 200-lb. And it's not like I'd be exactly fat at 200, if I use juice to get me there.
And then I CAN'T WAIT for some skinny little bitch retail bookstore manager to attempt to get me to wear a mask.
LOL...I've literally worn a mask twice this entire hyped pandemic!
I know some of you have or were FORCED to wear masks at work. I get that...I respect that.
But for any of you STILL wearing masks WHILE NOT EVEN SICK, AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO SPREAD A VIRUS THAT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE, I'm sorry, but WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
How is wearing a mask WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A VIRUS, AND THEREFORE, BY DEFINITION, HAVE NO VIRUS TO SPREAD, helping ANYONE?
Yeah, mask wearers are geniuses.

Impeding their breathing, while doing NOTHING that helps ANYONE.
Here's a crazy idea:
If you're sick, STAY HOME.
Or if you just go out while sick, a mask offers MINIMAL source control if worn properly - but PLEASE get a proper fitted N-95 mask by 3M. The flimsy fabric masks are almost completely useless.
But let me remind you:
If you are not sick, it is ALWAYS useless to wear a mask. The only thing you are doing is impeding your breathing for NO benefit to anyone else.
Mask wearers are geniuses.
I didn't want to have to have the police charged over this, but I gave them adequate warning, so they gave me no choice. Mask exemptions are codified in law here in Canada, and the police don't get to change that.
At first, I even told them I didn't want to press charges, but just get written documentation from them assuring my mask exemption would be respected at all times.
They dodged me for 6.5 months, and told me they had no record of accosting me at the INDIGO store I was at where the store manager called 9-1-1 on me for not wearing a mask.

I want everyone to know:
ALL OF THESE MANDATES ARE ILLEGAL.
And the police AND government know this. The SECOND that I told the police I will defend myself if they attempt to enforce a mask on me, they backed down.
The ONLY thing which is going to get us out of this is united non-compliance. IMO, only 20-30% of people are scared of this hyped pandemic. WHY ARE WE LETTING THEM DICTATE POLICY ON US??
If everyone who doesn't want to wear a mask, or doesn't want to follow the insane rules [lockdowns and curfews STILL happening in Canada] just STOPPED TOMORROW, this would all end.
This is some serious Emperor Has No Clothes level of mass hysteria.
And I KNOW it isn't easy being the one person to not wear a mask in a room, or to otherwise stand up - but that's what it takes to get more individuals to start doing it, to get this entire House of Cards to come crashing down.
With me, I always find I need a MAJOR rationalization to use steroids. But you know what - this IS as good a time as ever to run a cycle.
I literally CANNOT WAIT for another POS store manager to try to get me to wear a mask, or for the police to show up. If any cop lays a hand on me over this, that will become a physical confrontation instantly. Zero chance I'll put up with it again.
We're letting 20-30% of the population bully us into being scared of a pandemic that isn't scary. I have ZERO guilt bullying them in response to THEIR initiation of hostility.
Who the FUCK calls 9-1-1 on someone for not wearing a mask?

What a stupid bitch.
