Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[Ted Striker]

I am sure it is on some peoples minds...even if just the crazy ones. If not, he wouldn't meet ratings. A lot of his stuff is not simply asking questions, but it is making statements, so a bit different...but, nothing wrong with asking questions.

You have that backwards. Tucker is farting and then asking "hey, does anyone else smell that?"

He meets the ratings because the audience is stacked. They're old, white, and frightened, and/or young white dullards who want to hear their idiotic presuppositions played back to them by someone they consider to be an authority figure.

Not a single one of his questions is actually a question.

All this talk of masks has got me wondering, who here has rocked one of these? How effective would it be versus a surgical or cloth mask?

7 Yankees staff testing positive for Covid 19, all asymptomatic so far, all breakthrough cases.

um, nothing to add here but fuck.

[stealurface831]

that ain't good.

[bodywhomper]

Hopefully, the Yankee breakthrough cases will be studied, ie genetic testing for variants and close observations of symptoms.

[rideit]

I wonder how many both had the virus and were vaccinated.

Something fishy is going on.

It seems like it would be important to know which vaccine(s) they received.

Please articulate more better. Otherwise seven is the answer as stated in the article.

[glademaster]

I don't know how you could interpret his statement in any way other than "how many had the virus prior to vaccination." Or do you not pay any attention to context when you read?

[Flounder]

I heard the the tests were via a rapid test. From what I understand the rapid tests don’t have a great accuracy, especially when community transmission is low. Hopefully it’s bum testing and not a new vaccine resistant variant.

7 bum tests? I find that hard to believe even with the lower accuracy. Last night I heard they were looking into when the vax was given, i.e. did they wait the 2 weeks after 2nd dose?

If they are getting tested at the same facility at the same time, it's possible all the tests were from the same lot and it could be a defective lot. Unlikely, but certainly possible.

It didn't make sense to me either. And Rideit can defend themselves if they feel it necessary.

8 all J&J, so it seems easy for the organization's messaging to have been the common denominator: "you only need one shot, so you're now fully vaxed, get out there and party!!"

ditto. it was vague wording - worthy of clarification. certainly not worthy of glademasters obvious butthurt.

[rideit]

Yeah, I probably smoked crack (just skimmed the article) before posting.
I meant “How many had Covid prior to vaccination, and then got it again afterwards”.

Nothing rong with smokin teh crack!

Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Some fancy number massaging gets to 10 million dead worldwide. A few countries like Iran, Egypt, Peru, Russia or India have up to 13 times more excess deaths than those reported as Covid.

[ill-advised strategy]

With 2 shots in me and the cdc officially reporting I’m not a risk to others, I’m feeling a pretty intense anti mask sentiment rising in the “fuck this bullshit” cortex of my YetiBrain.

I had somebody get real butthurt about me being unmasked outdoors 10 feet away from him yesterday. I was cool about it, I put a mask on for his sake, but I think real soon I’m going to not be doing that anymore.
