To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

But why the fuck isn't his post count going up?????

It likely has something to do with him changing his user name. It was FullStack for a while, then Ow My Balls, now DOD.

Secret Russian Troll programming?

Shifting topic:
Learned yesterday that sugarbowl medical safety folks must all be fully vaxed, no exceptions. Patrol (volunteer and pro), ie OEC trained; mountain safety, ie OFC trained; ski docs; and those working at the first aid room. pretty cool, IMO.

This is what I’m asking.

No, I changed my username after Z-bo enlightened me and my post count stayed the same. DOD’s account stays at zero.

Something is suspect. Teletech is a stupid harmless troll but DOD is something different.

Stop being a bitch uni. It’s ok to have differing opinions. This is a ski forum not a medical forum. If people are basing their medical decisions on things they read on tgr, they are fucking morons. Banning people because they aren’t part of the echo chamber is a bitch move.

Facts aren’t opinions you festering syphilitic anus. I know you’re a troll but you’re also likely too stupid to know the difference.

Either way they are both on ignore.

So, it's not possible? Bugs/features can crop up in lots of unsuspected ways.

It may be something else other than multiple user name changes within a short period.

So he's an admin, or being moderated by one (or that's at least one possibility)

I have Covid and chronic asthma. Not breathing well. Not terrible, but not normal either.

I'm fully vaxxed with Pfizer. Meds make my regular asthma symptoms close to non-existent. But when I'm sick my lungs tend to freak out a bit.

Anyone ever watch the movie Stalag 17 co-starring the pilot from Airplane! ?

Seems the message on the mask I had printed last year is panning out. .

Much better after the antibody infusion. Lungs are still tight when I wake up, but after meds they feel mostly normal.

I felt like shit for a solid week. Can't imagine what it would have been like if I wasn't vaccinated.


I have to say, I pity the folks who aren't getting vaccinated. Whether you're latched on to some conspiracy theory, or compelled by a deep need to demonstrate some sociocultural affiliation, it's a steep price to pay. It's a fascinating, but depressing example of our human capacity to dismiss the obvious in a vain effort to preserve a fragile sense of self or belonging. I hope you fuckers don't die.

Good to hear your trending positive ISBD.

Get fucking vaxxed people

Fuck yeah ISBD!! Keep it up.

"Eradicating" is a red herring chowed upon by those not paying attention.

If eradication means treat like all the other diseases we wish were gone, I'm 100% in favor. We've all been vaccinated for a couple dozen, and there's more controlled by other inventions (border requirements, public health, etc). None of these are we likely to encounter in our lifetimes.

We could get rid of Covid fast. It remains my belief that the best approach to Covid mirrors that of AU, NZ, CN, etc. Eliminate it within the borders, and prevent it from entering. If the US, EU, and China were all behind this policy, the rest of the world would largely fall in line. Just like we do for say measles or polio, or did for SARS-1. Barring the political issues, Covid could be essentially gone from developed countries in 10 weeks.

Sorry to be outside the "echo chamber"

Your jump to disclaimer shows that.

The measures of masking, vaxing, social distancing are not 100% effective in "eradicating" covid or any other disease.

This is exactly the rationale opponents of these mechanisms seize upon.
None of them have been represented that way from the start, when the maxim was and continues to be "flatten the curve".

If one reads the definition of "eradicate", virtually no serious disease has ever been eradicated.

Well it seems odd that someone shows up to only post this misinformation in just this thread with no other post history and his post count is zero after more than half a dozen posts.

As was said above, eradication won't ever happen.

When we get to the point that our medical system is no longer being overwhelmed by outbreaks or surges then we will have learned to live with Covid.

When we get to the point that an outbreak of Covid is no longer news we will have eradicated Covid.

as a practical matter several of them could have been effectively eradicated, alas antivaxxers ruined that hope (see: measles)

[Buster Highmen]

Agreed.
It's a think fail.
