Fuck Joe Rogan. His shit is harmful.
I think if we are talking about how to get people to vaccinate its pretty important to understand where some of this information is coming from and who is peddling it.Quote:

Went to a vax required outdoor concert last night and had an incredible time. Reminiscent of the old life/days. Our group had a interesting and obviously realization as we looked around and observed- there was likely no conspiracy weirdos anywhere to be found. I like this vax passport shit. Great filter.
Unfortunately I think that's how most of these folks are going to have to learn--the hard way, when they lose a friend or loved one. It will happen to all of them eventually, but it will take time.Quote:

If anyone has a better or more updated list please post it.
29 Times Anti-Vaxxers Made Headlines for Regretting Not Getting the Vaccine While They Still Could
Good find^^ I hear people say ‘I find no joy in these people dying etc’ but I do. Sort of. Maybe I’m an asshole but the ripple affects and damaged caused by some of these morons is unmeasurable. I like seeing these people get a dose of reality but hate the burden on healthcare workers.

I greatly admire so many of you who continue to work and promote Vaccination and work to mitigate the effects of covid and the pandemic - Thank you ! !
( it is the inflammatory rhetoric of mtuhockey's last sentence that "amazes me" :
" It amazes me that the pro-vax crowd here is totally behind totalitarian lockdowns, quarantines, and basically throwing a Star of David on people as long as it fits their agenda. "
wow. )

Point of order sir.Quote:

My daughter tells me there's a Tiktok video making the rounds where some woman says that the Pfizer vaccine made her tits bigger. Now that's a conspiracy theory I can support. Just need to start a rumor that Moderna makes your dick bigger and we'll have everyone vaccinated in no time.
Maybe the Pfizer shot can be combined w viagra?
It's the wild west in NE OR. No masks.... well one of you count me. SMH.
They're right. Viruses, unlike bacteria can't kill on their own. They use the bodies metabolic machinery. So when someone dies of Covid the virus didn't kill them; they committed suicide.Quote:

From summary it was reported that with delta 45% more likely to seek medical attention and 232% more likely to be hospitalized compared to alpha in the unvaxxed pop. So the % are likely to go up or maybe that is what the south is seeing now?
Individual-level data on 43 338 COVID-19-positive patients (8682 with the delta variant, 34 656 with the alpha variant; median age 31 years [IQR 17–43]) were included in our analysis. 196 (2·3%) patients with the delta variant versus 764 (2·2%) patients with the alpha variant were admitted to hospital within 14 days after the specimen was taken (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2·26 [95% CI 1·32–3·89]). 498 (5·7%) patients with the delta variant versus 1448 (4·2%) patients with the alpha variant were admitted to hospital or attended emergency care within 14 days (adjusted HR 1·45 [1·08–1·95]). Most patients were unvaccinated (32 078 [74·0%] across both groups). The HRs for vaccinated patients with the delta variant versus the alpha variant (adjusted HR for hospital admission 1·94 [95% CI 0·47–8·05] and for hospital admission or emergency care attendance 1·58 [0·69–3·61]) were similar to the HRs for unvaccinated patients (2·32 [1·29–4·16] and 1·43 [1·04–1·97]; p=0·82 for both) but the precision for the vaccinated subgroup was low.
More of my co-workers have covid now than during the whole rest of the pandemic combined.
I probably should stop going to the pool but it's kind of essential to my mental health. I hate covid.
I am so fucking tired of telling people to pull their masks up over their noses. Fucking nose dicks.
Britons, Unfazed by High Covid Rates, Weigh Their ‘Price of Freedom’
Britain is reporting more than 30,000 new coronavirus cases a day, but the public seems to have moved on. Experts say this could be a glimpse into the future for other countries.
Nearly 60,000 soccer fans packed London’s Emirates Stadium last Sunday to watch Chelsea outplay Arsenal. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “Cinderella” made its glittering debut in the West End after multiple Covid-related delays. On the subway, where masks are still mandatory, half of the riders go barefaced.
All of this at a time when Britain is reporting more than 30,000 new coronavirus cases a day.
The public has moved on, even if the virus has not. Given that Britain has been at the vanguard of so many previous coronavirus developments — from incubating variants to rolling out vaccines — experts say this could be a glimpse into the future for other countries.
“We don’t seem to care that we have these really high infection rates,” said Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London who has been leading a major study of Covid-19 symptoms. “It looks like we’re just accepting it now — that this is the price of freedom.”
“There’s a feeling that finally we can breathe; we can start trying to get back what we’ve lost,” said Devi Sridhar, the head of the global public health program at the University of Edinburgh. “It’s really difficult to ask people not to mix for a prolonged period, especially if there is no solution.”
Hospitalizations are rising, however, as is the fatality rate. Admissions last week were up 6.7 percent over the previous seven-day period, while deaths were up 12.3 percent.
Because Britain was one of the first big countries to do mass vaccination, Professor Scally said, it will be one of the first to experience the waning of immunity — an issue that has afflicted Israel, another early vaccine adopter. And despite its robust rollout, Britain has not reached the highest levels of population immunity because millions of young people remain unprotected.

Now it’s just railing right wing guests and right wing talking points…railing about transgender stuff, railing kooky covid misinformation, railing against social justice, railing about guns. It’s gross, and sad, and he should probably just stfu…and we should probably just stop listening until he gets his dumb ass sorted out. .
