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

[rideit]

Teletech doesn't understand the concept of continuous mutations. And that the unvaxxed are potential Darwin winners, by their own choice. (If they had the option)

I hope he's right and omicron (or omnicron, as he calls it) is the death knell, but I see no compelling evidence that it will be.

This thread is beyond toxic, I can't bear reading it anymore.

My fault, I'll bow out in very easy self preservation of sanity.

My mistake, you don't need to pad this thread, it is truly, chatter, blather, and not suitable for rational thought.

Fucking bunch of idiots, all of you.

Portland, Maine will be glad to learn the pandemic is over - with a seven day rolling average of more than 1000 ( a thousand ) positive tests daily for the week of January 6, 2022, and 461 hospitalizations for covid for the week.

to me, it is more than ironic that the poster is calling for others to quit, while he continues to attempt to spread disinformation.
Please, do move on, so those who are still trying to limit this disease can continue...

https://bangordailynews.com/2022/01/...-0vzoa9n507wn/

12,762 cases of covid in Maine for the first two weeks of January, and more hospitalizations from covid in Maine ( 462 ) that at any time in the last two years, but the poster has declared the pandemic over.


https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...iew/index.html

to the question of whether omicron will end the pandemic, ,,, with these kinds of numbers ^^^ I cannot encourage that expectation
( more than 20,000 cases Daily (nationwide); almost 2000 deaths Daily (nationwide); boosters, still less than 25% )


Please, Be vaccinated - and boostered.

please use any additional precautions you believe are appropriate.


yes, it is time, as the poster said, it is time for the poster to move on, it is his declaration.


thanks... tj

Just wait until we hit page 800, that's the rally page.

Everybody is getting covid right now or just got it. If enough people get covid we reach herd immunity. The vaccine might have done the same thing, but you can’t vaccinate the world in a short time. But apparently we can infect the whole world pretty fast and that going to end this.

Is this your expert opinion?

this plague is far from over

[::: :::]

Want to get omicron and just get it over with? Here's why that's a bad idea

1. You could get sicker than you want to
2. You could spread the virus to vulnerable people
3. Your immunity will last months — not years
4. You could add to the crisis in the health care system
5. If you get sick now, you may not have access to treatments that are still in short supply
6. The chances of getting long COVID after omicron haven't been ruled out

Vaccine or not, when are unmasked idiots going to stop filling stadiums?without masks?

When you consider all the changes from covid, and the economic pressure to keep promoting these events, are we in somekind of denial?

an outdoors stadium full of fully vaxxed unmasked people during periods of low community numbers in delta or OG times was different than in the current tidal wave of super transmissible and vaccine dodging omicron numbers.

To what absolute degree it’s different I can’t say. But it is different.

I agree, a couple of months ago is one thing, but today? These people are not all vaxed either, and probably less than the National average.

I wouldn’t go if you gave me 50 yard line seats at the 9er game tomorrow.

I sat in the back row of USC stadium in mid November post delta / pre omicron. Couldn’t get anywhere near the stadium without proof of full vaccination. I had my booster three weeks beforehand. Wore a mask when I went to the bathroom or anywhere enclosed.

I wouldn’t do that today.

I guess if you live in a city/state who is trying to strike a balance between some sensible restrictions and regular life (and one that isn’t afraid to change those restrictions regularly based on the current situation) it’s quite different than cities/states where it’s all about the freedom and any mention of masks, or vaccines, or restrictions/lockdowns is just unpatriotic and not worth it.

Update for those still following. Novak lost his court case and was deported tonight.

Saw that. It makes me happy.

[Harry]

Good. Fuck that guy. And not because he is an anti-vaxxer, but because he revealed himself to be an entitled douchebag who thinks he is better than the rest of us.

Plus I can’t believe he is a pro tennis player, I’m way better than he is.

I check the worldometer site a lot and it seems like the total has been going up faster ever since 800, 000 certianly no sign of anything slowing down

It isn't any different. And doesn't belong in this thread any more than your post did. Though we certainly appreciate you calling us out as if we read and preapprove of every post made in here, that's nice.

Cuz i posted it, not you

Fuck off.

Look, it's not that fucking hard. Want to discuss public health policy, vaccine science, whatever, knock yourselves out in here. Want to take a shot at the other party, or particular people closely aligned with the other party, take it to poliass. Yes, there's a grey area, the public health policy discussion has a fuzzy line with politics. But neither that comic above nor the bicycle meme came remotely close to the fuzzy line, they are clearly political shots and nothing else, and have no place in here. So knock it the fuck off, we don't want to have to moderate a goddam thing but you guys are making it hard.
