Youi know how everyone can tell you're a moronic liar RJ? "Masks provide no benefit, covid is basically the flu". But truly you must be a troll, no one can really be that ignorant, selfish and cowardly...
Poor little delicate snowflake can't handle a piece of cloth over his face...I bet you don't even ski, it's too cold for baby buttercup
I hope you get long covid, so it can wake your dumb ass up
"But truly you must be a troll, no one can really be that ignorant, selfish and cowardly..."
You would be wrong in that judgement. He's not alone in that club. I know to many people with those same "qualities"
RJ, you an only child or did you mom produce some that were not morons?
It's not just the flu for men in their 30s.
For men in their 30s about 1.2% of COVID-19 infections end in hospitalization. About 9 in 10 hospitalized patients experience long-term illness.
Multiplying the hospitalization rate by the chronic illness rate (.012 * .9 = .0108 ) results in about a 1% chance of chronic illness. In other words, a man in his 30s has a 1-in-100 chance of developing a long-term illness, including a higher risk of heart disease and organ damage, after being infected with COVID-19.
Booster shots boost neutralizing antibody (NAb) which fall over time so an antibody boost is helpful with a fast replicating variant like delta especially in people older than 60.Quote:
It's also looking like you are going to have to take a booster every 6-12 months.
However, the immune system also develops other lines of defense in response to vaccination including B-cell, and T-cell activation which is slower to respond but longer (perhaps a lifetime) lasting. So even if a person chose to skip booster shots they would still benefit immensely from the immune response vaccines provide.

I keep meaning to read Sun-Tzu. Maybe this time I will. Putting it on my Amazon wish list anyway.Quote:

Don't know where you are pulling your numbers from, but those numbers are going to be inflated by the obese/diabetic/immunocompromised/etc. A healthy person in their 30's doesn't have anywhere near a 1% chance of whatever you are considering a chronic illness.Quote:

They do seem to have switched authors for a Covidiot lately, though.
We should take bets. I'll say these days she's a 30-something stay at home mom in Estonia who returned home when her career as an au pair in Ireland fizzled after Brexit.
You know how I know you're a moronic liar? Because you left out the key point that I was talking about a healthy person in their 30's.Quote:

That's not data, that's anecdote. Jayson Tatum averaged 30/6/4.5 in 37mpg in the playoffs and is now on the olympic team. I'll take some of that.Quote:

It is data, and it is part of a statistically significant set.
I'll take the CDC, Mayo clinic and Nature articles, among others. over misleading claims. There are virtually no significant studies supporting that masks don't work.
Me too. Don't know who was paying him, but he's in Canada.Quote:

For example, while this woman's otherwise healthy and active 42yr old husband was in the I.C.U. on a respirator at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo community members and business partners showed up with anti-vaccine propaganda urging her not to vaccinate herself and her family.
As crazy as it sounds, it's about in-group loyalty. Defying your group is a big ask for just about anybody.
I've been thinking it's all part of a god complex manifesting at all levels of society: people believe that they can change reality by denying the obvious and the concomitant anger and denial when that doesn't work.
I could explain to a first grader how a mask provides a barrier that captures droplets and aerosolized saliva(not all) preventing some of the dispersal into the immediate environment and they understand.Quote:

Kids don’t care about masks either, I asked several friends of mine that are teachers if they had problems with kids wearing masks and they said no, it’s the dumbass parents making a big deal about it. Projection
Yes, I know it’s anecdotal but as a parent I know that children are remarkably flexible and resilient. In surgery, a hysterical child will often calm down and cooperate once their parents are removed from the scene

I greatly dislike masks, but I wear one when in public indoor locales.
America has an outrageously high proportion of immature induhviduals.
There's definitely an element of that in the Q-adjacents I know around here, probably the majority of them. The rest are mainly folks doing very poor "research" who are strongly biased to believe anything they "discover" themselves, and which they push as the defining beliefs of their in-group. I've started asking if one particular falsehood or another is a belief or something they are investigating. The answer typically turns out to be a lie. I'll hear something like "you can check me on this!" but you may not be friends anymore if you do.Quote:

There are plenty, you just ignore them.Quote:

Yep, but somehow you guys think it doesn't apply to yourselves.Quote:
