Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I'm good.Getting vaccinated and paying taxes, why should I care if you do either? I've listened to people for hours about how paying taxes is the same as having their freedom stolen. Same about vaccinations steal their freedom. I've heard from those people how to not pay and not get caught. Casually looking at those people, I can't tell if they cheated on taxes or not. But I can't tell by casually looking if they are vaccinated or not. There are so many small and large secrets those kind of people fear being discovered. They have many anxieties and distresses I never feel.

Fuck that world. You can have it, Karen.

And are you saying that Trump and Paul only became a problem for you AFTER they got Covid? Please tell me that's what you're trying to say, hypocrite.
Quote:I'm a man without any history. I'm a European Mutt. Western and Eastern. I know nothing of the history of the countries they came from except for stereotypes and whatever they taught us in the world history books that are always rewritten and changed every 5 or 10 years here in America, so that means about nothing. The only thing I know is that my Grandmother caught hell in school during WWII for her German last name, which I won't post here, and she's afraid that we were related since her parents would never talk about it.

Quote: There are two types of COVID19 survivors— those who have documented recovery from sars-cov-2 (either PCR, antigen or serology + tests) or those who have self-identified recovery from sars-cov 2 (said they had it). When it comes to the former group, we know with confidence, the chance they get re-infected and severely ill is very very low, and far lower than people who have not yet had and recovered from COVID19 (this is called natural immunity). The data in support of this is massive, and quite certain. Antibody data is beside the point— we care about the thing in itself getting sick. So do these people (those who recovered) benefit from vaccination? Current data is solely observational— and that is a huge problem. If you compare people with recovery who chose to get the vax vs. those who chose not to get it— you are comparing very different types of people. Their behavior, and appetite to take risks (going out to crowded places) may also be different. We know both groups have very low rates of re-infection, but direct comparisons to assess vaccine efficacy after recovery are fraught. The right answer would be to conduct an RCT of vaccination among those who recovered. It could have 3 arms. No further doses; 1 dose, or 2 doses. It could be large (after all, millions have recovered), and powered to look for rates of severe disease. In the absence of this, experts are largely speculating. So here is what blows my mind: We are living in a world where the CDC director can say something that is false, made-up and no institution will say otherwise. [that masks reduce risk of infection by more than 80%] At the same time, major, venerable fact checking institutions are literally asserting as fact something which is at best unproven. No matter how you feel about these issues; these are dangerous times. Truth and falsehood is not a matter of science but cultural power— the ability to proclaim and define the truth. If this continues, dark times lie ahead. Someday soon, we may not like who defines the truth.

Quote:Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said the action stops President Joe Biden “from moving forward with his unlawful overreach.” “The president will not impose medical procedures on the American people without the checks and balances afforded by the constitution,” said a statement from Landry, a Republican.
Quote:In late September, Gallup sent out some shockwaves with this headline: “Majority in U.S. Supports Biden COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates.” Gallup went on to write, “Americans generally support vaccination mandates, including for air travel, attendance at crowded events and other activities” and 63% of U.S. adults also support “vaccination requirements for teachers and staff in K-12 schools.” Well, no. Not true. Keep reading. The truth is actually that Democrats support these mandates. Republicans do not. And Independents are split. By Gallup’s own numbers, between 93% and 94% of Democrats favor vaccine mandates for federal workers, for employees at private companies with 100 or more workers, for workers at hospitals that receive Medicare and Medicaid funds, and for paid time off for employees to deal with COVID-19 issues. By Gallup’s own numbers, too, only 19% of Republicans favor vaccine requirements for federal workers, 17%, for privately employed workers, 25% for hospital workers, and 33% for the paid time off deal. So how is it that we arrive at the idea the “majority in U.S.” support the Joe Biden-type vaccine mandates — as Gallup wrote? As after which many, many, many in the media then reported? That was September. The deceptions continue. From Politico, on October 9, this headline: “POLITICO-Harvard poll: Most Americans support vaccine mandates for school kids.” Again, keep reading. The truth will come. Eventually. “Nearly three in four Democrats favor a vaccine mandate for the students while 59 percent of Republicans are opposed,” Politico wrote. “Just over half of self-described independents also are against the mandates.” In other words, about three-quarters of Democrats want the mandates on kids; most Republicans and most independents, do not. Once again, the headline, the summary line, the Twitter message, the shared social media takeaway becomes this: A majority of Americans want COVID-19 mandated vaccines for school kids. A majority in America support vaccine mandates for children. No. They don’t. A majority of Democrats do — but that’s because the majority of Democrats are the ones using the coronavirus as tools to oppress and control. It’s Joe Biden and Joe Biden’s socialist-fueled White House and Joe Biden’s globalist-infiltrated administration and Joe Biden’s band of merry Marxists masquerading as members of the Democrat Party who have taken this coronavirus and run roughshod over individual liberties for going on two years now, all the while claiming that science dictates this, oh wait a minute, now science dictates that, oh wait just another second, science now dictates this — all the while expecting the good people of America to jump, jump, don’t ask questions, just jump — it’s these types who’ve taken a virus and exploited it for personal agenda. As for those who did ask questions? Booted from social media. Silenced by the left’s partners in Big Tech. Mocked and shamed and targeted for attack by the left.

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: Quote:Originally posted by JAYNEZTOWN: One in four vaccinated people living in households with a covid-19 case become infected, study finds https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2638 That shows that vaccines are even better at preventing breakthrough infections than previous estimates, that put it at about 66%. And these are vaccines that weren't designed to prevent infections! That's because infection and transmission take place at the mucosal surfaces. Since this vaccine is injected, it doesn't stimulate mucosal antibodies, only internal antibodies delivered through the blood. The vaccines were specifically designed to prevent serious illness and death. Also remember, there is NO vaccine - no matter how good - that's 100% effective. So breakthrough infections shouldn't be used as a measure of success or failure for these vaccines.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Residents of heavily Trump counties were more than three times likelier to die from COVID in October than those in heavily Biden countries
Quote:"This situation is a tragedy, in which irrational fears about vaccine side effects have overwhelmed rational fears about a deadly virus," Leonhardt writes, but the good news is that the partisan gap very well may have peaked, thanks to promising new antiviral COVID-19 medications from Pfizer and Merck.

Quote:Jack's feeling pretty isolated and immune from this, so he's more than happy to flush everybody who dies from this, no matter how few or how many.
Quote:It was the same with 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan, but it wasn't just right-wingers who were on board. After rhetoric like "dead or alive!", "smoke 'em out!", "you're either with us or you're with the terrorists!" - and getting everybody (90% approval) rabidly foaming at the mouth to get bin Laden - after a few months all dubya had to say was "I don't really think about him very much" and it was as if the previous months were totally erased. The pivot to Iraq was as if it was on a frictionless pin.

Quote:Don't project your COVID panic onto me.
Quote:- what do people who have survived c-19 do next? Can they get it again? I have not seen any definitive answer to that. Yes, they can. It's been shown in Japan and Korea. What's not known is how common or rare that is. It's also not known if second infections are milder (due to antibodies) or worse (due to cytokine storm) because both have happened. What seems somewhat clear is that those people aren't infectious.
Quote:Of course, junior and juniorette would have to isolate themselves from at-risk family members. Maybe that would propel them out of mom's and dad's basements. I LIKE that idea! Young people are immortal anyway. Why not let them live like it?
