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

“Phony health freedom ideologies”

 

Ummm……he DID say that he and his family are vaccinated……..

 

How so? They were not vaccinated. They died. It's pretty clear cut... Nobody is blaming them for anything.

 

I find it an odd premise that two people suffering from the same illness should be segregated because one got a treatment that was supposed to work but didn’t. But fine. I also don’t agree with the idea that people should be denied healthcare or elective procedures simply because they are unvaccinated. It is irrelevant at that point if they aren’t suffering from covid. It’s completely outside the argument of unvaccinated covid patients “filling hospitals”. If a guy is bleeding to death or has cancer it’s not because he’s unvaccinated.

I also find it odd though that we see this push-pull in the narrative where it goes from “I got my vaccine I’m good, you’re stupid go ahead and die” to “You’re going to kill me if you don’t get the vaccine”.

You're either worried about the unvaccinated dying, or you don’t care and fuck them. I feel like people should just pick one because these two ideas don’t exist together in any logical reality. One negates the idea of the vaccine being personally effective, and the other presents the notion that it is extremely effective and one shouldn’t have to worry after getting it. Let’s pick one and move on.

 

Except they are. They are being grouped in with people who chose not to get vaccinated, rather than it being acknowledged that they simply lived in a world where a vaccine did not exist. It is not a very forthright argument.

 

fake news. I believe over 300,000+ died before a vaccine was available.
How many were elderly forced into lockdown with covid positive people?

for all the complaints about misleading info…..

 

My bad….poor reading comprehension. I guess I won’t be buying him a beer if I swing through WY next month……

 

Actually I was being a smart ass. I’m vaccinated and follow all the protocols, so I’m not too worried about it. And I would very much enjoy a beer with Johnny (he’s a Dead Guy fan!……the beer, not the COVID victim). But I think he’s in the northern part of WY and I’ll be hauling ass across the southern end…..but Johnny, if you’re reading this and going to be in southern WY the last week of this month, I’m buying…….

 

It's got nothing to do with blame. They weren't vaccinated so they count as unvaccinated deaths. As they should.

Nearly everybody who dies of covid-19 now certainly has themselves to blame. They are the reason the pandemic is still going in this country, and why there are still mask restrictions. As well as our leaders who are not offering enough incentive to get vaccinated.

Nobody blames the first 500k deaths. They were victims. Everyone is aware of that.

 

I’d enjoy that, I’ll keep it in mind! Never know, I’m up and down from Denver quite a lot. Why are you going through the crappy part of the state anyway?!

 

Well…..my goal is to actually spend some time in Colorado (only been there at Four Corners) but I thought I’d first drive into Nebraska and then drop down into the NW corner of Kansas. Maybe see some “off the interstate” parts of both states. There’s a couple of funky museums in both states I’d like to check out. Then I’ll cross CO via a more southerly route. No real interest in getting lost in the Denver “metroplex” and I enjoy the smaller towns anyway. But that’s why I’m going through southern WY…….and plan on hauling ass all the way. That wind drives me nuts. Two years ago I drove through in blizzard conditions, so this time should be better. The first two days will be some hard driving. The next 6-7 day will be a mosey on back home…..but if you’re anywhere near that isn’t a major detour, let me know. My plans aren’t set in stone. I just need a change of scenery and I’ve just been cooped up too long……

 

Over 662,000 now.

 

School children must take inoculations if they want to go to school.
If you want to come to my house you must be inoculated.

 

San Francisco started the school year with no Covid outbreaks. San Francisco is highly vaccinated. Coincidence, I am sure.
