Can’t the good doctor comply with the mandate thru a J&J jab rather than an mRNA vax?Quote:

I suggest taking an e-break for a bit, it’s cleansing, reality will become clear again.Quote:

And if your mutual friend does poorly they will blame it on the doctors not giving treatments (invermectin etc) that have no good evidence they do anything. It won’t be covid’s fault. It won’t be the lack of vaccine.
But then regular posters in here say we need to respect that opinion and give it equal weight otherwise we are just sheeple (aka the borg)
I hope your friend pulls through.
Please don't be that stupid.Quote:

But he ignores that the mechanism for creating a new variant is replication. In other words, for the described favortism to matter the mutation must have already occurred.
If the risk is new variants the way to reduce it is to reduce replication. There isn't even a theoretical basis offered for how a vaccinated person would be more likely to produce a mutation. On the contrary, producing less total viruses during an infection (or fighting one off before it even gets going) means less chances for mutations.
To put it differently, there is no reason that stopping the spread of one variant to Bob (whether Bob is vaccinated or wears a mask) will increase the spread of some different variant to Brittney.
Are you saying I’m being stupid? Maybe I wasn’t clear in what I typedQuote:

Skidog may be annoying, but there's a special place in hell for these assholes.Quote:

That is indeed different than the guy I went to high school with who thinks vaccines insert an operating system into your body so that the Libs can do their great reset. He thinks invermectin is the way out of the pandemic. He thinks PCR testing is bullshit and is being used to fake a pandemic for political reasons. Are those lies? He has zero evidence. He has been lied to. But he has ample opportunity to examine his beliefs and the evidence for them.
To be clear I don’t think Skidog shares any of the beliefs my school friend does.
But I take issue with the idea that I need to seriously consider, 17 months into this, that covid may all be a hoax perpetrated by the left. And I take issue with being called sheeple for not keeping an open mind to the idea or respecting everyone’s ideas and opinions.
That whole “we are all allowed to have our opinions respected” is the softest load of snowflake bullshit to come out of the last decade. It’s killing us.
Yes, we should differentiate between opinions. So also between the people spouting different ones. Obviously even moreso those claiming lies as fact, without even the cover of "opinion." Your reference seems to need a pretty broad definition of "regular posters." But what do I know, maybe they're just waiting in the wings.Quote:

There are multiple regular posters here who share the behavior I take issue with
I did not intend to label *all* regular posters as such.
No, I wasn't saying you're being stupid.Quote:

Hopefully this won't get as lost as the jono's position on vax mandates, but I do think that as exasperating as it is, we should be respectfully refuting the bullshit.
As if that makes any sense to anyone.
Like: "No".
As opposed to: "No, asshole".
But it's exhausting, so yeah, whatever.
I save the professional refutations for my day job. Not for the padded room.
Who said anything about your tone and drift?
If the first tweeze didn't come across, then my tone and drift fail.
I really do think that the PR and all discourse across these weirdo gulfs far wider than space or time are in desperate need of all the patience we can muster, despite how exhausting, frustrating and maddening the disinformation is.
Otherwise all the dark money that seeks to create the rifts between us, buy Supreme Court seats and steer us towards authoritarianism win.
Up to you.
At some point, granted, it's a write off.
Did you fuckers contribute here yet? https://www.gofundme.com/f/stoke-dreams
Word. Will reflect.
But..but... I thought the one thing I've learned from tgr that I can teach my students is that you properly answer a question with yes, asshole or no asshole.Quote:
