COVID-19: Chapter 8 - Ongoing source of viral information, and a little fun

What actually works is being squeaky wheels and harassing the shit out of people. Deplorables do this non stop and keep getting what they want. I really think that normal people need to start fighting fire with fire on this stuff, for example the other parents at that school should be doing the pushy stuff that deplorables would do, i.e. storming school board meetings, finding out where the superintendent lives and screaming in front of their house, massing at city hall and demanding that the mayor and chief of police arrest the parent, etc etc etc. Without applying intense pressure on civic leaders they will just keep capitulating to the Angry Karens of the right and responding to complaints from everyone else with press conference and press releases.

What we really need to do is relabel a bunch of vaccine doses as Slovakian horse tranquilizers or something, and then start posting about how it’s the drug the medical establishment doesn’t want you to know about on Parler

The latest untested supplement? Sure.

Inject poison in my veins on the say of Don the Moron? Rolling up my sleeve.

Light bulb up my ass? Ohh myyy.

Yeah it’s this.

It’s the same dynamic as Rs v Ds. Rs will do whatever it takes to win - lie, cheat, steal, whatever, for them it’s all in the game and they keep getting the results they want. Ds are putting their own self images ahead of tactics, and they so desperately want a calm, polite, rational world that they pretend there is one and act as though it is the case. The polite technocrat class is getting steamrolled because they’ve been taught all their lives to not rock the boat and to respect norms and there’s no time for that.

I think the most likely explanation is some kind of selection bias in one or both studies. But the most likely biological explanation if there’s a difference has to be that the UK used a different dosing schedule for Pfizer than what we use in the US (8-12 weeks vs 3). Moderna is a much larger dose and spaced at 4 weeks in the US. The combination of tight-spacing/low-dose could produce either a weaker response overall or, as you suggest, maybe just a shorter-lived one.

This would also explain why Pfizer is eager to get boosters approved.

I think they changed it to a misdemeanor in CA because the evidence showed it mostly just lead to people not getting tested.

Out of the four deceased, three were not vaccinated, but one was set to get the vaccine, said Union president Anna Fusco,

Anyway, these teacher Covid deaths are exaggerated. Don’t forget that if they hadn’t died of Covid they likely would have been gunned down in a school shooting. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!!

Just give Trump the exclusive license to sell vaccines for $499.99 each, rebranded as the Trump miracle cure. They’ll line up around the block.

“We are not seeking to invest our limited resources in bringing charges against the parent at this time,” the health district said in a statement. “We are seeking cooperation from our community members.”

YEAH SPEAKING OF WHICH, HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT?

And they’re supposed to be the party of personal responsibility lol.

Yeah the right move when someone else is being aggressive is to first check and see what their resources look like… and if you have 50% of what they have hit them as hard as you possibly can. You’ll lose if you’re weaker and you’ll win if you’re stronger, but the next time some abusive asshole is looking for a victim they’ll pick someone else.

And if you ever win vs one of these people you finish the goddamn job. If it’s your personal life you cut them out totally after taking everything you can get. If it’s your work life you get them all the way fired and ruin their entire career if that’s available. The most irritating thing the good guys do in the movies is beat the bad guy badly halfway through the movie, let them live (despite having killed as many as a hundred of his or her employees on the way), and then do it all again at the end of the movie. If you fight someone and win you finish the fucking task. Doing anything else is incentivizing them to take another shot.

A lot of people disagree with my approach while living lives where they coexist with an awful lot of assholes and get way less than they probably could get out of every situation where they do. I don’t do that anymore.

In the vaccine situation we have 70% of the population. We should be fucking these people up.

Maybe the smart play here is for pharma to sell Regeneron to Trumpers as an all-natural alternative to getting a vaccine.

The smart move is making white people show proof of full vaccination at least a month prior to get admitted to a medical facility for anything effective 1.5 months from now. They can either stampede to get the shot or they can die in the street.

Oh and if you infect someone else with it and weren’t vaccinated you go to fucking prison for assault if they live and murder if they don’t.

What the fuck kind of writing is this?

“All four teachers that died were unvaccinated, despite the fact that the vaccine has been available to every Floridian over the age of 18 for the last 4 months.”

There, fixed it for you.

(Note: Not you, Kep. The dipshit that wrote the article.)

This is the ‘don’t ever pull a gun unless you fully intend to kill someone’ attitude which is probably eminently sensible.

I read it as one of the 3 that were unvaccinated was set to get the vaccine, but you are probably correct lol.

That’s the way I read as well but who knows what they meant.

Harolding someone’s sacrifice is the bestest way of showing your appreciation, what are you talking about.
