Can we all just agree that no one really has any fucking clue what to do?
The "experts" told us to social distance and wash our hands and then we would be fine. That didn't work. Then the "experts" told us wearing a mask, limit your trips to the public, social distance and keep groups small and we would be "safe". That didn't work. Then the "experts" told us "2 weeks to flatten the curve". Stay home, wear a mask, and no large groups. Businesses have to close, but not big businesses, only small businesses. That didn't work. Then the "experts" told us things were getting better, we can get out and businesses can open up. Big businesses don't matter how many people are there, but small businesses can only do 50% capacity. If you're at a restaurant you have to wear your mask walking to your table, but at your table you don't need it. Then the "experts" told us to get vaccinated. Once you're vaccinated you don't need a mask and you can go back to your normal lives. We don't know the long term affects, but the vaccine is safe. Then the "experts" told if you're vaccinated you still need to wear a mask and social distance. The vaccine is safe for most people, but certain situations it's not. Now the "experts" tell us the vaccination isn't as effective as they thought, and even less effective against the delta strain. If you're a woman don't get this one, kids under "x" age cant get this one. But they are still safe. Meanwhile, vaccines are being pulled from shelves because of health risks coming to light, some countries wont even allow certain vaccines in their country because of health risks that have been found. Where I am right now you used to be able to get Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J, females were being warned about taking the J&J, and now they wont offer Pfizer or J&J because of the risks associated with them. Places like MN were completely shut down, full mask mandates, even curfews in some areas, yet our neighbor South Dakota took far less preventative measures and left it up to the people to decide how they wanted to protect themselves and their COVID numbers were very similar to MN who was completely shut down. You wonder why people refuse to get the vaccine when our "experts" have been changing the story this whole time. Everyone blames the unvaccinated (who most are still abiding by the mask rules that were once widely regarded as a "safe and effective precautionary measure"), when the reality of this is we have no clue how to properly and effectively fight the virus. It's very simple, we don't know enough. Let people decide how they want to tackle this. Let people decide their own safety measures. If you're high risk, take the appropriate safety measures. Have underlying health issues? Take the appropriate safety measures. Some of ya'll have become ugly. |

Here is a link that isn't spam or full of popups. A short while ago, someone decided to create a thread where you nominate candidates for what is called the Hermain Cain Award. It's only award posthumously and named after the former ex-presidential candidate who was a staunch no vax no mask supporter. Of course he's passed on from Covid and while I don't agree with gleefully writing about individuals who have passed on, I think it might be worth awhile to take a look at some of the awardees. It's only the ones who post their opinions online in the form of social media where almost all of them sound exactly the same. A lot of the information they post to their followers are also alarmingly the same as the information posted in this thread and subsequent threads.
Some just did a data pull recently and the numbers are staggering. 1905 people have been nominated and of that, 1855 have been awarded. Meaning, 1855 out of the 1905 nominees to date have died from Covid. These awards are growing at an exponential pace is the other concerning fact. It's worth a look, regardless of your stance. The disinformation is identical across the board. This isn't made up, this isn't some fake news - you can see their actual social media pages up until their death announcements from their loved ones. You can also validate their passing. What's really terrifying to me is probably 99% of them ask "the prayers warriors to pray for me / my loved ones" once they do contract Covid. Their verbiage is so similar. Take with it what you will, but like I said, it's worth a look regardless of what you believe it. It may not help you but it may help someone you know who is on the fence to make a decision. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ |

Not an argument here or a jab at anyone. just my experience and observations.
Its cool to know someone who's worked on the vaccine or consulting with friends or family who "knows somebody or works somewhere" that did something with the vaccine.. Unless any of those individuals above are my physician who has given me physicals, taken my blood work, hold all my medical records, and write my prescriptions, my Dr. Is the final reference, and he said GO! Of course, we can chose to go with medical advice from google and the media. Y'all posting All these charts and numbers.. it's cool, BUT, When it comes to my body, I see the Internet as a reference tool, and my doctor as the final reference. Let that guy do all the hard work I pay him for. I pay that guy too much money just to google him away. I also don't want a bug that shut down the planet……and at least have a weapon to fight it. Some feel otherwise, and that's ok for them. Just be safe y'all! We are important because have BMWs to drive! |

Re: Congress. Easy answer: Rand Paul, Marjorie Greene, etc. These are Reps looking to win the Herman Cain Award for themselves. So better to pay attention to the real scientists. Fauci is a renowned scientist, with a long & impressive record of accomplishment. Keep your eye on the ball; not on the side show. |

I'll just drop this here!
"Sadly, the Covid infection and death rates keep climbing. *** There is an critical difference between the “unvaccinated” and “anti-vaxxers.” The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) reports that “the unvaccinated group are younger, more likely to identify as Republicans or be Republican-leaning, and more likely to have lower levels of education and lower incomes than the vaccinated population.” The anti-vaxxers have a lower-level of education; vaccinated Americans are twice as likely as unvaccinated to have a college degree or higher (38% vs. 19%). KFF notes that “the unvaccinated group also tends to include disproportionate shares of adults without health insurance(my italics, LB) coverage as well as those with lower levels of income.” It points out that “those under the age of 65 without insurance make up about one quarter of the unvaccinated population, and 42% of all unvaccinated adults report earning less than $40K a year.” Perhaps most revealing, the KFF study differentiates between those it identifies as “wait and see” and the “definitely not” with regard to getting vaccinated. It reports that “half of those in the ‘wait and see’ group are people of color.” However, “the most vaccine resistant group, those who say they will ‘definitely not’ get a COVID-19 vaccine is overwhelmingly made up of White adults (70% of the group compared to 49% of the “wait and see” group).” The current upswing in Covid-related hospitalizations and deaths in Texas illuminates the crisis many Republican states are confronting. As of August 6th, the state had a death rate per 100,000 at 0.17 and a daily average death rate of 49.6 people. In comparison, Vermont had a death rate of 0.02 per 100,000 and an daily average deaths 0.01 people. The Texas Tribune reports that the “main groups within Texas’ unvaccinated population: white conservatives in rural areas, and Hispanic and Black people in big cities.” It notes that “while 15 million Texans who have received at least one shot as of Aug. 1, that leaves 9 million eligible Texans who have not gotten their vaccine yet.”" https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/08...e-of-pandemic/ |

PS- would someone please tell littlebear that I will never engage with him on this forum again? I can tell he’s responding to some of my post just because the way this forum is set up. I’m sure the reason why I won’t respond to him is obvious to many of you if you read his posts. Just let him know. Thank you. |

I would hope we would learn something in that time, like being faster & better. Obviously you don't learn as rapidly. PS: Has anybody here said they love CNN? Most are pretty exasperated by them, at best. Last edited by Littlebear; 09-27-2021 at 08:51 AM.. |

ISIS told them what they wanted to hear. Early in this emergency, Donald Trump dismissed Covid. Minimized. Told many lies about it. Supported quack medicines. the alternate right/far right media followed suit. They've been following suit ever since. They're telling you what they think you and Trump want to hear. They're not interested in the truth, they're interested in you watching their sites, reading their sites, maintaining advertising revenue. I know it's hard to hear, but you've been radicalized just like those ISIS teenagers. |

It's so weak, lame, lazy, and partisan to blame the last administration for all of this administration's short comings. And the short comings are piling up.

Ignore them brother. You’re coming to a dead end with them. Trust me I tried. It’s easier to just not read their posts and have this discussion with more reasonable people of that mindset. I know it’s difficult to find people like that from their side but they are out there.
