Title: Peace Offering
Post by: Reacher on September 14, 2021, 09:47:35 PM
While there’s a part of me that enjoys the mud slinging, it’s exhausting and I’m not someone who usually engages in that kind of stuff. I’m here with a peace offer to Jobu and Rob. Willing to give everything a re-boot. I can’t speak for others, but I don’t mean 99% of the insults I hurl. But I’m not going to sit around and get piled on with no response. Anyway…

For the record, my ridiculous meltdown was aimed at PA man.  And also for the record, PA man is pretty fucking awesome for absorbing that and actually enjoying it.

I really had fun with that, and I'm glad others did too.

go watch the video its awful to watch but will clarify what he was doing

Member strix and driver.8? I told that fuckface to kill himself constantly.  I genuinely hoped he would fall into a wood chipper, or die in a fiery car crash.

Looking back on it as I have aged, I can't say my opinion has changed.  I hope he's dead.

Now, I don't hope you actually go out and kill yourself.  But if you go out and get covid by being a dumbass, and you end up dying from it, well, it's gonna be real hard for me to feel bad about it.

What are the fundamental differences between you and 97 when it comes to the risk of contracting COVID?
Title: Re: Peace Offering

The question is whether Q is a tough guy.
Title: Re: Peace Offering
Post by: ILLove1997 on September 16, 2021, 06:43:18 PM
Fundamentally? I'm vaccinated.  When I go to crowded places, or high risk transmission places, I wear a mask.  I work from home.

I'm guessing, given his posting history, he's not as careful. 

If I get COVID after taking the precautions I take, well, sucks to be me, I guess.

unless you're wearing an N95 mask you are literally just as protected as not wearing one... washing your fucking hands has a far greater effect than surgical masks

Nah, the science shows us that he and I have relatively little to worry about. But I’ve taken a great deal of precaution to make sure I don’t infect others.

And, as you certainly don’t recall, I spent March and April of 2020 delivering peace meals to elderly folks in lockdown while you were hiding in your basement.

Nope.
People over 50 and/or with co-morbidities end up in the hospital and/or dead.
Close to 60% of Minnesota deaths were nursing home deaths.
What is the percentage of deaths with obesity ? 80 % ?

I thought studies have shown that N95 are very effective, and surgical are effective. Cloth masks are between 0 and 9.8% effective.

The science that the mandates ignore.

From the article you linked:

“…And they caution that intentional infection among unvaccinated people would be extremely risky. ‘What we don’t want people to say is: All right, I should go out and get infected, I should have an infection party,’ says Michel Nussenzweig, an immunologist at Rockefeller University who researches the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and was not involved in the study. ‘Because somebody could die.’”

“Still, [Charlotte] Thålin [a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute] and other researchers stress that deliberate infection among unvaccinated people would put them at significant risk of severe disease and death, or the lingering, significant symptoms of what has been dubbed Long Covid. The study shows the benefits of natural immunity, but ‘doesn’t take into account what this virus does to the body to get to that point,’ says Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington, Seattle.”

“No one in the study who got a new SARS-CoV-2 infection died—which prevented a comparison of death rates but is a clear sign that vaccines still offer a formidable shield against serious disease, even if not as good as natural immunity.  Moreover, natural immunity is far from perfect. Although reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 are rare, and often asymptomatic or mild, they can be severe.”

People over 50 and/or with co-morbidities should be vaccinated if they haven't had Covid. The mandates and the Covid fear porn can be very counter-productive. We've known who is susceptible for a long time and forcing people suspicious of the vaccine has been a poor approach, imo.
Maybe the Dems shouldn't have questioned the vaccines before the election.

I’ve had it and recovered with minimal issues, and am also vaccinated.

It seems I caught it during a series of medical exams last October, which were the only times I met the CDC threshold for exposure in the week leading up to the infection.

We were all wearing masks.
