    Agree. Let Darwin win! I’ll go back to wearing a mask.

    Unless you are wearing a full bunny suit, there are still plenty of membranes and fun bits that viruses can get into. I still mask up when I go shopping or whatever, but I also acknowledge that I am fucked either way on a plane and so forth.

    Masking is at its most effective when the people who are actually sick wear them. It blocks a large percentage of the greatest source of germs (mouth and nose) passively.

    Also: As fun as it is to... use eugenics to tell the white supremacists off, it generally won't be the chuds who suffer the most. It will be the immunocompromised and those on various medications that otherwise wreak havoc with their bodies.

    Just to be clear, the person making this claim is Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the crazy guy who's gotten into the good graces of RFK Jr. "Crazy Guy who makes Crazy Claims makes another Crazy Claim that aligns with his previous Crazy Claims." For me, I'm sticking this bit of information on the corkboard, but I'm not going to freak out about it. Yet.

    There's also the money involved. The pharmaceutical corporations pretty much have things rigged so they make huge profit off of any drug to market. Even those that aren't really that effective. But when it comes to vaccines, that's a pretty much a guaranteed demand.

    That's a lot of dough to grease some wheels, if they needed to; no way any kind of ban like this would actually go through. Not that that should surprise anyone, after all, considering how frequently these morons turn out to be all talk, no substance.

    Remember when the Republicans wanted the vaccine to be a choice?

    So a million and a half deaths weren't enough for those fuckers.

    With all seriousness, no, it isn't. They want millions of deaths.

    They fucking developed, distributed, and administered the vaccine under Trump 1.0

    Apparently Trump was a woke idiot before and is somehow smarter now... Make it make sense Republicans!

    Didn't the traditional COVID vaccine have way more issues than the mRNA one?

  • source

    The mRNA vaccine has a shockingly low rate of side effects or adverse reactions. Nearly all of the negatives were less severe versions of symptoms and impacts from COVID. So even if you were impacted by a negative side effect it was likely you were still better off vaccinated than not.

    Banning it has nothing to do with the reality, and everythinf to do with their ignorant and dangerous beliefs.

    Anecdotal, but I got jabbed 4 or 5 times with the mRNA vaccine and got COVID once.

    The jabs usually meant that evening and next day I had a splitting headache, extremely uncomfortable lymph node under the armpit of the side I got the jab, and just general tiredness. But 24 hours later it was good and I was fine.

    With COVID, I was bedridden for 3 Days. Fevers, splitting headache (worse than the jabs), diarrhea, even vomited once. Even when I got better enough to get out of bed, I had an uncontrollable dry cough that lasted for weeks.

    So yes, the jabs weren’t fun, but they were predictable and ended quickly. The disease itself was much worse for me and had a tendency to linger.

    A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

    They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    Vaccine skepticism isn’t so much about vaccines per se, it’s following a small movement that grew organically and fanning the flames instead of letting it die in obscurity. The purpose here is using it as a vehicle for promoting skepticism of tried and true science.

    What’s the greatest enemy of authority? Tried and true facts with no room for dispute. By effectively undermining vaccines, the way is paved to continue to sow doubt and skepticism for other science, making it easier to dispute facts that can and will undermine authority without thus skepticism.

    Yes, the added benefit is population control and distraction. If people are sicker and more financially blown up by medical bills they’re far too busy and demoralized to engage in revolution. And there’s less of them due to death. Brain fog from long COVID is beneficial as well.

    In addition, they can pocket the funding that would otherwise go to vaccine programs.

    It’s perfect, from an authoritarian viewpoint.

    Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

    When Taco said "I am your retribution", he was talking both about all his personal vendettas against a lot of the world, but he was also talking about the crazies and all their issues with reality, including properly addressing Covid, meaning lockdowns, social distancing and vaccines.

    The unhinged crazies want to drag everyone else down with them.

    death is the most serious outcome of COVID-19, but was excluded from consideration in the analysis, which only considered hospitalization.

    Seems like a fundamental flaw to me.

    I heard repeatedly "you should have the freedom to choose to be vaccinated or not". Are those people going to just as vigorously argue against banning it?
