OP: Political rant

Also OP: Don't get political

And OP: Hollywood Ken Burns is an intellectual

Living here in Thailand, I only worry for the freedoms being lost in my home country that I'll eventually return. 

It's stupid. Tap water running down your body cleans nothing. Never understood it. Chlorine, or salt - induced chlorine will kill any "icky" stuff coming off your body.

Hmm, traffic don't miss any of that.

 

I lived in San Diego for years, where when you looked at Google maps the traffic algorithm would show red when traffic was backed up for 10 miles.

 

Here in Rapid City, 5 cars stopped at a red light is enough to generate a red on google traffic maps!

 

No, i'm happy with South Dakota traffic 'backup's'

Now that you can't drag race on 8th Street (aka Mt. Rushmore Rd)!

Used to be bumper to bumper on Friday and Saturday nights in the 60's and 70's.

The ingredients of the current vaccines are similar to those in vaccines of the past.

Side effects from those vaccines became apparent in 6 to 8 weeks.

No mRNA vaccine has ever been approved by the FDA prior to 2020. So what past vaccines are you comparing?

I think you are confused about vaccine passports and vaccination records for foreigners to enter a country.  They are two very different things.

 

The MSM is calling them "passports" to enter clubs, events, thus my use of the term.

give me an option

 

the world is not black and white as most dumbass think it is

 

Still dont understand what your last post has to do with treatment? 

 

You dont want to be vaccinated and still want to tax the hospitals? Sorry bro , off to the 'not to treat' ward you go

I pay taxes and health insurance for all of my 'dumb' lifestyle choices, same as everyone. If you want to change that, well let's ignore the fat people, smokers,  etc., let's start with loggers, pilots, oil rig workers, etc. Death counts yearly very close to covid stats. 

Death by choice. Stop trying to force people into your safe space.

nope u dont believe and dont want the vaccine? And still expect us to save u? Sorry bro, you are on your own . i have vaccinated people to save

 

Many people ; incl me , would prefer not to take the vaccine , but at the moment , its the best of the options we have on hand. If i am using my body and future to test a vaccine for the unvac , why should u have the benefits if the same thing hit both of us?

 

Make your own bed , lie on it

So you admit to being a test subject. My work here is complete.

Well put.

 

Who needs unvaccinated tourists entering your country and starting the whole damned thing again.

 

If your unvaccinated you will eventually be very limited in what you can and cannot do.

 

 

 

 

Won't happen. And if it does, will be short lived. UK just cancelled vaccine passports, Thailand copies everything they do.

The solution is so simple. There should be no segregation as it doesnt make any difference to the spread. The vaccinated can still get it and pass it on. Only diff is that the vaccinated have less severe symptoms and more likely to survive it. 

 

The solution is for the medical community to forget their medical oath of the unvaccinated patients and not treat them. Much like signing that 'do not resuscitate' thing.

 

Unvac patient : Doc I cant breath!

Doc : Too bad bro! But I stand with u tho in your beliefs!

 

The ones refusing to be vaccinated should make known their stand. The 'unable to be vac' (due allergyy , access etc) should be exampted.

 

I'm ok with that as long as the critical vaccinated patients get the same non-treatment. After all, they also made a choice that didn't protect them.

Yeah, yeah, we know. Less likely to occur to the vaccinated, but still happening none the less. Just ask Israel, Iceland, etc. etc.

You have said that thousands of qualified people disagree with the narrative that you doubt in the MSM.

First, I am skeptical. Could you find dozens? Hundreds? surely not thousands.

More important, there are no MDs involved in treatment of hospitalized COVID patients that are COVID vaccine skeptics.

I will cite two articles that support my contention, so hold your horses on "America's Frontline Doctors", cuz they are not.

 

"No Evidence That Doctor Group in Viral Video Got Near COVID 'Front Lines'

— Who are the physicians behind America's Frontline Doctors?"

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/90533

 

"Op-Ed: As a doctor in a COVID unit, I’m running out of compassion for the unvaccinated. Get the shot"

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-08-17/vaccinated-covid-doctor-shot

 

Finally from an expert that everyone knows and trusts,  (sarcasm alert kids)

"Howard Stern to anti-vaxxers: 'You had the cure and you wouldn't take it'"

https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/10/entertainment/howard-stern-vaccine-comments/index.html

 

"When are we gonna stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say it's mandatory to get vaccinated? F--- 'em. F--- their freedom. I want my freedom to live," he said. "I want to get out of the house already. I want to go next door and play chess. I want to go take some pictures. This is bull----."

 

Posts in these threads are largely for entertainment and I know it is a flaw in my character that makes me continue to post, conspiracy theorists can't be convinced, but I know that a few who are the fence do exist.

As Ringo says "Peace and Love." (This is actually one of the rare forums where some are too old to know who Ringo is.)

Stern is a known germaphobic, which just validates that people are scared for themselves, not others as they profess to be.

Your body, your choice.

You were actually gaining credibility as a somewhat intelligent person, until you made that comment. 

Well it's ok to be selfish about the sex, just don't spread the flu.

Could be you just have good ears or a sensitive tuner. All straight fret guitars are out of tune at various places along the neck, even when intonation is set correctly. You'd need a True Temperament neck to get close to perfect tune.

Maybe I am interpreting this statement incorrectly-(The analyses compared specific health events among all COVID-19 mRNA-vaccinated people during the first 3 weeks after inoculation with health events among similar types of patients during the 3 to 6 weeks after mRNA vaccination. The total number of people evaluated was 6.2 million for the first dose of either mRNA vaccine and 5.7 million for the second dose.)

Can one infer the conclusion is based on only 3 to 6 weeks of monitoring vaccinated people for health issues? The quote above is from the website in the posters message.

Also, this entry in the link noted as well: Federal and Kaiser Permanente researchers combing the health records of 6.2 million patients found no serious health effects that could be linked to the 2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines"

Is this normal for someone to have access to so many health records in US, that I assumed to be private and confidential or are they available to the public, or anyone?

 

Kaiser is a huge healthcare provider, so could be all the patient counts came from them. Generally healthcare statistics are provided to governing bodies without patient-identifying information like name, medical record number, address, etc.

Sucks. Where will I be able to watch MotoGP and WorldSBK for free? 

Haven't changed my mind. Continue to follow the rapidly changing science.

Soon, the twice vaccinated will be considered unvaccinated, having not had their booster. Then the statistics are out the window. If not the first booster, then the second or third, etc. Think you're out of it? 90% vaccinated? Bam, new variant, start over.

It won't end until the man-bun brigade, literally or figuratively, wakes up.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist; they're too incapable, stupid, and power hungry to think up a plan like this.

You misinterpret.

Most use the thread for information, for entertainment, for an intelligent exchange of opinions.

As all of those are in short supply in "these threads" there is less and less interest in participating.

I agree.

She should be covid free, but one week in, one day in, one hour in, she could contract the disease, same as anyone else you come into contact with. If that's how you want to live the rest of your life, good luck with that.

Thanks, that sounds encouraging. 

I have no health issues and never had a cold or flu in over 40years. 

Maybe I can risk it. Wear a mask,keep my distance and hope for the best.

Nary a sniffle in 40 years? You should be more worried about Alzheimer's than covid, bubble boy. ????
