RFC: Permanently Ban Churchill

[NotBruceZ]

I’m not convinced everyone here has bothered to read the COVID threat. The anti-churchill faction seems adamant that everything is obvious. So let’s do a dive into what was actually posted.

In response to someone else’s COVID experience, churchill posts his own:

@Churchill

10 days here but no-one else in the 6 person faimly caught it, despite daily testing- even though the 6yr pozz (still) sleeps 6" from mum and dad (i slept elsehwere on the first night but thought we were all gonna get it anyway as we all share house together so went ‘bollox to that’ for the next 9 nights)

churchill continues:

@Churchill

Grandad’s everywhere were hiding from the grandkids, Dan. Like, it’s the grandad’s biggest threat. Covid generally kills the olds, whether they’re grandparents or not, funnily enough. We can be man enough to admit this 2+ yrs into the pandemic. If you have stats to prove that the +60’s were more likely to die if they had grandkids, let me see 'em.

@Churchill

With 2yrs history on the pandemic, simple maths should tell us whether an old with and who visited grandkids would be more likely to die than an old without grandkids. Alternatively, did more parents with kids catch it than peeps without kids? Did an unproportional amount of teachers cark it? Countries that contract traced / genone sequenced know the answers to this.

So far, I would consider that acceptable posting.

MrWookie posts a link to an article with the conclusion: “We found that younger children may be more likely to transmit SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with older children, and the highest odds of transmission were observed for children aged 0 to 3 years.”

Trolly is Trolly and says:

@Trolly

Keep fucking that chicken.

CaffeineNeeded asks for data.

Wookie follows up with an excerpt from one of his links.

spidercrab posts some news articles on vaccines for kids, which gets these reactions:

@MrWookie

One the one hand, great. On the other, what about 5 and under, motherfuckers?!

@CaffeineNeeded

dammit saw under 11, but it was 5-11. Come on under 6mo-5yr

This is where I think the thread goes off the rails. churchill’s response is to quote them and say:

@Churchill

what’s the point? end of pandemic then?
lols @ under 5’s.

I think this is pretty obviously trolling and it gets the predictable response:

@MrWookie

To protect my girls from sickness and death you fuckwit.

And it goes on from there.

My judgment is that churchill started it in this instance. I would not consider Trolly’s comment to be the start of it.

If people want churchill banned, or at least more severely punished than he currently is, then you should be willing to do the work to document if he has behaved similarly when he has been banned previously.
