OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Posting this again because I think it got drown out by the exact divisiveness I mentioned.

I think a lot of contention, not just around here, is between some people that have had a covid case and believe that infection provides equal or better immune responses than they would have if they got the vaccine, and other people saying things like "if you don't get the vaccine you're going to kill me". I know, that is a generalization. There is just a lot of area in between those two positions and it has become pretty divisive. I don't think I've had covid, but I'm not 100% sure. I would have gotten the vaccine either way, but that's just me. Idk, here's a good article I read about it and explains the differences in how some geographic areas are addressing it and specifically the pros/cons of the USA's approach.

e_blazer is exactly right. "Research" isn't a Google search. Google is fine when you want driving directions or information on rooting bay leaf cuttings or where to buy a variety of yarn. Not knocking Google. But it's not scientific research. Van Gundy was also right.

 

Wha??? You mean inherent intelligence is not a virtue???? Who knew?? Then I guess I need to get in line with the rest of the “Intelligent” Trump lemmings hurling themselves off a cliff. But THAT would be actually be “intellectual laziness”…….

 

My biggest problem isn't with people who are confused or unable to understand the science but rather with the ignorant propoganda that those people spout that is politically fueled....if you want to do research don't limit yourself to US political arguments....look at global science....ask New Zealander about the science and realize Biden has no more to do with their life and choice than Tucker Carlson......ask your doctor or surgeon, etc.....or move to N Korea where democrats won't kill you with conspiracy chips....choices ....we have always had an in house propoganda promoter here and probably always will have.

 

I thought about challenging them to show me their beaker but was worried what kinds of images I will get back..

 

Legitimate epidemiologists are the highest bar of credibility when dealing with an epidemic. They are who I confirm my stances with when it comes to epidemics and pandemics.

The people I'm referring to (like you) do not.

 

@illmatic99 ???

Nothing, or everything. Definitely one of those two.

 

Lol. Yeah, right.

 

really? this is embarrassing, even for y0u.

 

Read the data or read what scientists are telling you.

 

Clearly what they should be focusing on is a vaccine for stupid.

 

Hogwash. You don't need to be an expert to understand the statistics presented in scientific papers. I've worked in software for seven years but I don't know how to program.

 

I’m not big into the whole “let’s see how many posts vs likes” a poster has but I think it’s safe to say if you look at Maris’ you can conclude that his 27000 posts are batshit

 

At least bats are real. Even if they give you Covid.

 

What part of “underlying conditions” has anything whatsofuckingever to do with politics???? We’re dealing with our own personal realities dude. Unvaccinated idiots are a danger to people like me and Lanny. Why should the stupid have more “rights” and “freedoms” than those with health issues?? My take on the entire COVID clusterfuck has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics and everything to do with the dangers it presents to me personally. And the callous disregard antivaxers (and anti maskers) have for folks like me releases me from any kind of understanding, kindness or respect for those people, because turnabout IS fair play. I can only conclude that the fervor with which too many people here argue against vaccinations is based on the insecurity and intrinsic doubt they have in the strength and validity of their arguments. Jeez, talk about enough straw men to populate an entire city……..and by the way, just in case you (or anyone else) want to build yet another straw man, my own underlying conditions are NOT a result of my lifestyle, so please don’t even try to go there…..
