To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

[k2skier112]

Question: when you post something that is 100% wrong do you later reflect on it and think “gee - maybe there is a reason smart people go to school for many years to understand this complicated material and maybe I shouldn’t just assume I know it all and am an authority because I read some random bullshit on facebook…”

Or do you just get drunk and then sleep it off and forget it ever happened

...reflect...think...you give these shit for brains waaaaaay too much credit. they're barely capable of parroting fake news fer fuck sake

A lot of jaw boning here from smug liberals who refuse to acknowledge that their illegitimate regime is actually encouraging the spread of this virus through open borders and the idiocy of mass vax. But just like #CllimateFraud all of you follow the science.... political science.

"I an guessing that non of you fucking liberal morons see the correlation between the democrats destroying our sovereignty and the rise in covid. Allowing a million illegal criminals into our country unchecked has created this. You now need to where face diapers while the illegals rape this country. Ain' t communism great?"

If you're all so sure he's wrong, that will become more evident.

Carter Page, International Business Man of Mystery, jet-setting wheeler-dealer and foreign policy savant was a view shared by only Carter Page

Profoundly disconnected, socially awkward, and reeking of late-stage virginity, he gives off the creepy Uncanny Valley vibe of a rogue, possibly murderous android or of a man with a too-extensive knowledge of human taxidermy and a soundproofed van.

How bad at math and critical thinking does one have to be to think immigrants are the primary source of Covid cases? I’m guessing at least a Ron Johnson level of difficulty understanding visualizations and basic math?

Basic meth.

[Buster Highmen]

There is no data to support the claim that immigrants are a remotely significant factor in the spread of covid in the US.

If I've missed something, let me know.

Otherwise, it's the worst kind of disinformation.

Americans can do better.

Also, everything I've read states that the vaccines are significantly better protection than antibodies resulting from covid infection. You want me to cite some?

Texas politician dies of COVID 5 days after posting anti-vaccine meme


A Texas GOP official who consistently mocked COVID-19 vaccines and masks on social media, died five days after posting a meme on Facebook, questioning the idea of getting inoculated against the virus.

Dickinson City Council member and State Republican Executive Committee member H. Scott Apley, 45, died due to complications from COVID-19 Wednesday morning.

Apley was admitted to the Galveston hospital on Sunday with “pneumonia-like symptoms,” and shortly after, he was hooked up to a ventilator, according to The Daily Beast.

“He leaves behind his wife, Melissa, who is COVID positive, as well as their infant son Reid,” a GoFundMe page set up to help pay for funeral expenses reads. “Your donations are greatly appreciated and will help the family as they get through this difficult period.”

The family has so far raised nearly half of its $30,000 goal.

“My heart is beyond broken for his family,” wrote Dickinson Mayor Sean Skipworth in a Facebook post. “Scott was a new father and that makes this loss especially tragic.”

“Please join me in lifting the Apley family up in prayer,” added Texas Republican Party Chairman Matt Rinaldi in a statement that failed to mention Apley had died of COVID-19. “We will miss Scott deeply but find comfort knowing he is at peace in the arms of our Savior.”

Known for his extreme conservative beliefs and Christian faith, Apley rallied against most COVID-19 safety policies. In May, Apley posted an invitation to attend a “mask burning” at a Cincinnati bar, adding “I wish I lived in the area!”

Like many far-right conservatives including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Apley compared mask mandates to Nazism.

Five days before his death, Apley posted a meme gaining notoriety in right-wing groups that read: “In 6 months, we’ve gone from the vax ending the pandemic—to you can still get covid even if vaxxed—to you can pass covid onto others even if vaxxed—to you can still die of covid even if vaxxed—to the unvaxxed are killing the vaxxed.”

Anti-Vax Radio Host Who Called Fauci a ‘Power Tripping Lying Freak’ Dies of COVID
On his deathbed, Dick Farrel changed his tune, telling his friends to get vaccinated.
A anti-vaccine right-wing radio host in West Palm Beach, Florida died Wednesday from COVID-19 complications.

Dick Farrel, 65, used his local talk show and social media to rail against Dr. Anthony Fauci, who he called a “power tripping lying freak,” and say that no one should get the coronavirus vaccine. When COVID-19 sent him to the hospital for three weeks, though, he changed his tune, urging friends to get vaccinated, friends told local station WPTV.

Farrel wrote in early July, “Vaccine Bogus Bull Shid!, Two peeps I know, got vaxed, now have Corona, hospitalized critical. Thank you Moderna, FOR NOTHING!” He erroneously told his followers they would not need the vaccine if they had already survived COVID-19. The CDC has advised former coronavirus patients to get vaccinated.

Two days later, he wrote, “Why take a vax promoted by people who lied 2u all along about masks.” He called Fauci “FOOT-chee” and said that the infectious disease expert and “power trip libb loons” Democrats were conspiring to make it seem like the pandemic was ongoing so they could grab more power.

In late June, he wrote, “So, u think it wasn’t a SCAM DEMIC? NOT ONE ELECTED DEMOCRAT ever tested positive.” He called masks “face diapers” and “face pantys.”

An ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, Farrel wrote often about baseless conspiracy theories of election fraud. In June, he penned a fearmongering post about liberals wanting to remove the American flag, writing, “Civil war beckons.”

Amy Leigh Hair, a close friend of Farrel, wrote on Facebook, “COVID took one of my best friends! RIP Dick Farrel. He is the reason I took the shot. He texted me and told me to ‘Get it!’ He told me this virus is no joke and he said, ‘I wish I had gotten it!’”

Hair later told WPTV, “I was one of one the people like him who didn’t trust the vaccine. I trusted my immune system. I just became more afraid of getting COVID-19 than I was of any possible side effects of the vaccine. I’m glad I got vaccinated.”

The deep-voiced host, whose real name is Farrel Austin Levitt, also anchored for Newsmax after the radio station where he worked, WFLN, sold in 2016, according to friend and station owner George Kalman, who wrote Farrel’s obituary.

Farrel’s partner, Kit Farley, wrote on Facebook, “He was known as the other Rush Limbaugh. With a heavy heart, I can only say this was so unexpected. He will be missed.”

Farrel is one among several recent deaths of anti-vaccine advocates who have succumbed to COVID-19. Just this week, a Republican city councilman in Texas fought rapid and fatal bout with the virus that saw him hospitalized and dead within three days. He had used his position to advocate against vaccines and face masks.

When I read this first thought is Thoughts and Prayers and RIP. Then the thoughts thinning of the herd and survival of the fittest, yea that really does work.

The new evidence shows that protective antibodies generated in response to an mRNA vaccine will target a broader range of SARS-CoV-2 variants carrying “single letter” changes in a key portion of their spike protein compared to antibodies acquired from an infection.

Probably be adding right wing antivax radio host Phil Valentine to that list soon. Another one in critical condition now telling fans (from his hospital bed) he was wrong and they should get the shot. I hope he survives to promote the vax among his followers but he's been intubated for over a week now.

Won't matter how many bodies stack up though. The RJs and Montuckys and mtuhockeys have already decided their life is not worth admitting they were suckered by these fools.

Ya, know? It was sort of like when Rush died.

Thank dog for the delta variant. If everyone was vaccinated delta might disappear and be replaced by a mutation that is highly vaccine resistant. As it is the delta is suppressing the other variants, giving researchers time to work on a universal coronavirus vaccine and a nasal vaccine and more antiviral drugs. Thank you unvaccinated ones for your service.

I've been listening to that podcast interview with Osterholm. The most striking thing to me is when he talks about surges coming and then disappearing for no apparent reason--like the apparent decline of delta in GB. (Is that still a thing.) Nice to hear a scientist say "we don't know".

Topol also said something similar a few episodes back. It gives a bit of hope that maybe delta won’t have round 2 when schools start.

I always remember this story, first read it in “Flu” when the topic of crazy things in pandemics comes up. I don’t recall the book coming to the conclusion that they were likely exposed, but it’s been a while.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ifl...ot-go-to-plan/

TLDR - they tried to infect prisoners with the 1918 flu and couldn’t, not a one. They got real creative trying to infect them when it didn’t work. Still nada.

Reading the idiocy of this thread verifies why this country is being destroyed from within. The fucking rampant stupidity of the people posting here truly verifies that the right to vote in this country is something that should be earned not given.

People such as yourselves are why communist countries exist and explain how formerly successful vibrant countries like Venezuela sink into a poverty stricken totalitarian regime.

Due to dumb fucks like yourselves that is now happening in America
