Yeah either way you look at it, whether bad math or bad data, we know prior to the availability of vaccines the natural reinfection rate in Israel was around 0.1%. Now they're claiming it's around 0.008%. Is some of that because recovered individuals have also been vaccinated? Probably. Is the discrepancy also because of bad math, because a small number is incorrectly divided by a much larger number? Unquestionably.

There was a kid in my neighborhood growing up whose pattern was to hassle and bother kids until they snapped and then when they were beating him up he kind of crumbled into a pathetic heap and cowered and turtled. He did this from a young age over and over for years. His brother wasn’t like that, it seemed like his family was decent and normal. He was just, like, locked into this addiction-like pattern of flirting with the excitement and danger of getting beat up, and he’d always take it so far that he lost. Jeff Patrick….
You see it with dogs at the dog park, some agitator just dancing around bothering the other dogs to provoke a chase, chase me, fight me!
We have those trolls here. It’s not about the point, it’s about finding something people feel strongly about and posting statements that upset them, because all the responses, all the back-and-forth are a form of stimulus they crave. The power to insert themselves in your mind, to generate this flurry of emotional feedback is an antidote to the loneliness and boredom and insignificance that stands in contrast to the excitement of conflict.
You know who they are, read their nonsense and shake your head, and let those posts lie, knowing there’s probably some decent chance this is all just a bunch of rhetorical traps they set to watch you get upset and make you fight…

You're not wrong, and that covers more than not. But since you're on the mod squad I hope you also see the difference between the typical troll and the motivated/intentional spreader of misinformation. This isn't an either/or situation, we can have both kinds. Seeing the difference is more involved than simply ignoring both, but it can be like the spam bots: success breeds more.

Our cockapoo Cleo loves to provoke other dogs and get chased. She about killed the small woman owner when she got a leashed Great Dane to chase her down the steps. Guy down the street has a coonhound who loves to chase her. Out walking the other day and the owner was training the coon hound to lie down and not react--very impressive but frustrated the hell out of our dog. She also loves to chase--funny to see her chasing the Doby next door. You have a cockapoo don't you? Is she like that? Or is ours just badly socialized with bad owners.

What would be nice is if at some point, rather than being banned, certain unhinged and questionable posters could have their posts decorated with some remarks like "questionable content" or "known raving lunatic" or "cockapoo".
