    Ghetto people put money in their bras and shoes/socks.

    No wallet, no ID to carry around, so no place to put money.

    It's been 100 years since we had a pandemic like this. I'm assuming you're less than 101 years old, less than 121 years old if you're going in a bar.

    Going back to previous post. When lab tests are run, along with samples being tested, technician runs positive and negative controls. This is quality control. Positive control should show positive and negative control negative. If they don't either test kit is defective or technician screwed up; either way, test is rerun with new kit. This is so basic I find it astonishing a nurse wouldn't know. There's no way to verify if the photo ABM posted came from a nurse. Anonymous social media posts citing anonymous sources are not reliable sources of information.

    This is such hyperbole. Just more divisive social media nonsense here.

    This one is legitimately coming to fruition.

    It's amazing that people who don't trust the government think the vaccine is unsafe because a government agency hasn't said it's fully approved.

    The shots DO work: US sees a 240% rise in COVID cases in last three weeks with average of 108,000 per day - but number of daily deaths are HALF of what they were before vaccines
    • On Sunday, the U.S. recorded 124,234 new COVID-19 cases with a seven-day rolling average of 108,624, the third consecutive day surpassing 100,000 and a 240% increase from 31,919 reported three weeks ago
    • The last time COVID-19 cases were trending upward with a daily average of 100,000 was in early November 2020, when vaccines weren't yet available
    • At the time, virus-related fatalities were also rising with an average of 1,100 per day
    • By comparison, 111 deaths were recorded on Sunday with a seven-day rolling average of 508, meaning deaths are about half of what they were during the last surge with 68% of the eligible population vaccinated
    • States are reporting record-high numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitals say they are filling up due to the surge of patients
    • In Florida, some hospitals are sending COVID-19 patients home with oxygen and a monitor to free beds for sicker people
    • Officials in Houston, Texas, have run out of beds and have had to airlift patients hundreds of miles away, one even as far as North Dakota

    I wonder if there were polio anti vaxxers back in the day or if they just were relieved they could avoid getting polio and end it forever? Glad we didn’t have so much nutjob dumbasses back then. I do enjoy that Reddit Hermancain award thread though. So good. Legit brings me happiness. I do not have and will not have one shred of sympathy for anti vaxxers who are sitting in hospitals hoping to not die.

    I legit think this guy jerks off when unvaccinated people get covid. I’ve never seen a single person, not even on Twitter and larger platforms with this level of contempt for another group of humans. It’s a little over the top. Actually, it’s A LOT over the fucking top. And he can’t get enough of it.

    Openly cheerleading for people to die is not mentally stable behavior. It’s narcissistic and twisted. At this point I just think covid is his personal excuse to get his nut from the dehumanizing of other people.

    There were smallpox anti-vaxxers, there were polio anti-vaxxers, there were/are measles anti-vaxxers... there's no learning from history in the antivax world.

    It’s been a year and a half. Hundreds of millions vaccinated without issue. Anti vaxxers are scumbags. I don’t “want” anyone to die. But when those people do, the Facebook anti mask anti vax people, oh well. Zero sympathy.

    Why?
    But (here in the US) Florida has 100k new cases per day all by itself... So...

    There have been many reported side effects. See VAERS, there are already more adverse incidents with this vaccine in 6 months than there have been for all other vaccines combined for the last 20 years. Those aren’t awesome numbers and they don’t suggest all skepticism should be cast aside. You may feel the benefits outweigh the risks and that’s fine. But it isn’t your, or anyone else’s place to risk assess for other people.

    4.46 BILLION doses worldwide. So yes. Hundreds of millions administered without incident.
