Parsad 4 Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 4 hours ago, ERICOPOLY said: My daughter has a 14 yr old female friend from school who's guardians (Aunt/Uncle) are huge Trump supporters. Her uncle told her that if she gets vaccinated she will be kicked out of the house. I asked her why her uncle didn't vote Trump out of the White House for getting vaccinated. Seriously, what's wrong with these morons? Not only is Trump vaccinated...Melania and Ivanka are vaccinated...Eric is vaccinated (jumped the queue in Chicago)...Barron had Covid, so not sure if he has gotten a vaccine...Jared is almost certainly vaccinated...and I would imagine Don Jr. is vaccinated if Eric and his father got one. The morons are on both sides of the fence...remember when Robert Kennedy Jr. was asked to work and advise Trump due to Kennedy Jr's anti-vax stance. They come in all shapes and sizes, and parties!

maplevalue 0 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 A COVID related thought that I have been considering lately. Generally when thinking about the course COVID will take we consider the path previous Coronaviruses have taken (such as those taken by the Spanish flu H1N1, Hong Kong Flu H3N2). We have a few waves, and then it eventually peters out to something that is 'manageable'. With evidence increasingly pointing to this being a virus that was worked on in a lab, i.e. did not emerge 100% naturally, I wonder how much we can really draw from past experience in predicting how COVID will evolve over time. Could we get something significantly worse than Delta? Time will tell... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually kind of agree with where @musclemans head is at, although perhaps he is trying too hard to get the current data interpretations there. But for sure you have to look for this. The media and government are actively lying and campaigning for a certain outcome. However IF, and thats the only variable that matters, this is lab manipulated, the potential outcomes are VERY different than what folks may think. I dont see evidence of it yet, but its for sure a risk. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ERICOPOLY 0 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) The lab conspiracy is gaining in popularity I believe due to media pressure from conservative news sites which sell to an audience for profit, and it's not the only conspiracy that sells to these people and they push many conspiracies because their viewers enjoy it and seem addicted to ever more grandiose conspiracies. Much like the progression of porn addiction to ever more creative sex. Edited August 19 by ERICOPOLY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Less than 50% of the people in Alabama are vaccinated, so it is no surprise the virus is spreading widely and filling up hospital facilities that others may need urgently. It takes a very selfish person to refuse to be vaccinated when we know that the virus is primarily being spread among the unvaccinated. For those who say, “I won’t get vaccinated because the vaccine hasn’t been proven”, here is a news flash for you: Covid 19 has been proven, it can make people very sick and it can kill them. The unvaccinated can also kill others by spreading the virus to them. SO: Suck it up, get vaccinated and act like a responsible members of society. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From the article you posted, Alabama GOP governor apparently realizes that her voting base has common nonsense: Also last month, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican, blamed the unvaccinated for the state’s rise in coronavirus infection rates. Alabama's vaccination rate, which was about 36 percent as of Friday, is among the lowest in the country. "Folks are supposed to have common sense," she told a reporter in response to a question about what it's going to take for people to get vaccinated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
