RJ must not have a gag reflex, he can swallow bullshit like a Dresden hooker.
But he’s also pretty messy throwing it back up.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

C'mon now....Ron is not a "bot". Maybe a spreader of "alternative information", but if that's fucking A.I. I wanna know who's selling it. I want in.

Of course she's not a bot. You don't have to pay bots (that's why the bot-makers are so intent on using this place as a Turing test venue: they'll be cheaper.) The Russian troll farms use actual humans and give them scripts and instructions as to which narrative the Kremlin is pushing that week. The guy I knew who pushed "9/11 was an inside job!" a decade or so back actually used the excuse that "the workman is worth his wage" when confronted.
Bounties are for closers.

Ron is not a bot and AFAIK is sincere in his BS. Don't know whether that makes it better or worse.

I hear you, but I'm not so much trying to debate a tool like RJ as clearing as much air as I can re a widespread talking point.
Actually, all-time rates are relevant (though not as a rebuttal to people pointing out what's happening now). Greater Seattle was an epicenter of the pandemic very early on, but the all-time numbers show that they've done reasonably well.
Speaking of early on, it's a bit misleading to say "hey it's really not so bad" about a state's (rising) all-time death rates when comparing to the densely populated northeast, that got blindsided by community spread before they could test for it, and then died at higher rates because hospitals couldn't treat it effectively yet.

For every post from one of the trolls and antivaxers there are at least 3 from people arguing with them. It is within our power to moderate the forum ourselves.

Utah intermountain hospital system ICU at 102%. Don't crash on your bike. I'm so fed up with the anti masker anti vaccine bullshit.
To all the stupid idiotic fucking morons out there: You are so worried about YOUR freedom, you want YOUR choices to be respected. Well fuck you! This is bigger than you and you are too stupid to recognize that. Your idiotic choices affect everyone else. We are a society. When you breathe your rotten covid covid breath, you infect other people. Basic measures like masks reduce virus transmission. They are more effective when they are worn by large percentages of people, like in a SCHOOL! But you idiots think they are oppressive, you don't want to be told what to do. You're going to do whatever you want. There is a safe vaccine that you could take and help put an end to this. But your head is so far up your ass, you think it is more dangerous than full ICUs and 600k+ dead and counting. You refuse to take basic measures that benefit others, and you are too fucking ignorant to see those basic measures would benefit you as well.
I want my kids in school this fall. You dumb fucks are going to make it so that falls apart too. Get with the fucking program. As much as it pains me, it benefits you too.

Ms Boissal was telling me that last night they had to keep patients in the trauma bay because they had no ICU beds to move them into after they were done with them. They have 4 bays, meaning if a 5th person had rolled in they couldn't have handled them. They'd get diverted to the U which is equally full... and probably keel over during transport.

I am definitely guilty of trying to have fun engaging with ‘it’ but ultimately, what a waste of fucking time.

If the clouds parted, God came down from heaven on a beam of light, and simultaneously appeared in front of everyone on earth to say "hey dipshits, I gave you the ability to pull your asses out of this crack, so get on board," RJ would be saying "here's how I know that was photoshopped".
How does it go? You can't use logic to argue people out of positions they're only holding to be contrarian or something like that.

RJ is not steep - steep was a pure troll and an ass and was reactionary but he was not angry like RJ.

The article poses the question "Natural infection vs vaccination: Which gives more protection?" and then provides recent numbers. But as before with your invalid post when you ignored the 'base rate' with your chart, the conclusions drawn by the article is only possible if the denominator is wrong because a large study following a fifth of COVID-positive Israelis after recovery indicates a 0.1% reinfection rate:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...051v1.full.pdf
https://www.timesofisrael.com/covid-...i-study-finds/
The study in the link above, which dates back to before March 2021 when Israel was not vaccinating recovered patients, suggests there had been around 800 reinfections in Israel up to that time. So unless there's another explanation, it looks like your source divided the 72 instances of reinfection since May 2021 by the total known to have recovered from the virus since the pandemic began.
Instead the numbers probably look something more like the following:
900/836,000 = ~0.1077% ←Natural reinfection rate
3,000/ 5,193,499 = ~ 0.0578% ←Vaccine reinfection rate
