Vaccine

@GoldenGate what’s up with a MAC? You just saved me family! I was going to to take my kid to homecoming at FAMU at the end of October to hang out with her cousins and to see if she can find some rhythm.

I think we’ll hide in our basement for another year or until the death rate comes down.

Are you vaccinated and do you believe masks reduce spread, or are you one of the typical anti-vax/mask right wing dumbfucks who hang out here (and all Herman Cain Award winners)?
 
Interesting, but I'm a little skeptical of this website. Here is one of their disclaimers.

  • The information on this website is believed to be complete, true, accurate or not misleading, but NO GUARANTEE OF ACCURARY.

That's probably a standard disclosure but I find it hilarious that they misspelled Accuracy.

So now that you're actually reading some bs for what it is, how do you feel about your buddy Bruddah dumbfuck's assertion that only 17 people a day were dying of Covid in FL as of 10/2?
 
With all the things to worry about in 2021, it hadn’t occurred to me to fret about the social impact that masks might have on my son; I’d been so relieved that his public elementary school, in San Francisco, would require them. But here we were. Huxley couldn’t tell his new classmates apart; he had trouble hearing them; he wasn’t sure whether they could hear him; and he became especially disoriented around lunchtime, he said, because that was when all the kids took their masks off. Suddenly they looked like entirely new people. Normally he’s pretty good at making friends, but the confusion was giving him anxiety.

“Even for adults, it is difficult to recognize faces in masks,” says Changhong Liu, a psychologist at Bournemouth University, in the U.K., who studies face recognition. People process faces holistically, he told me, taking in all the features in combination—which is impossible when some of those features are obstructed by a mask, or even sunglasses. And until about age 14, children are still developing their facial-recognition skills.

Some psychologists and educators worry that such impairment in facial processing can lead to a spate of challenges with socialization and communication.

Fully vaccinated, masked up, and waiting on our boosters over here.
 
And the grand prize for base rate errors goes to.....

Met61. Congratulations, Met61.

I think you'll find that Taiwanese deaths after polio vaccination also exceed Taiwanese deaths after contracting polio. Bonus points if you can figure out why.
...old or new definition of vaccination?

Right!...best to stick with NYT & WaPo for "guarantee of accuracy." Brilliant!
 
I got the unscientific part, but the article was void of any traceable fact. How many of the Amish community in question were vaccinated against covid (vaccination acceptance varies from one Amish community and family to another)? How many died from covid? The article contradicts itself about whether the Amish practiced any mask usage. What is the basis for the statement that "We all got coronavirus"?

I have been interested for years on the interface between Amish practices and modern technology since I have Amish inlaws (or, more properly, former-Amish inlaws, who still have Amish relatives). They don't wire their houses with electricity, but they accept it in their shops and stores (such as gift shops catering to "English" tourists). They tolerate solar panels and diesel generators to run electric farm equipment. They won't have a telephone in the house, but they arrange for a payphone on a nearby roadside. They won't buy health insurance per se, but they kick in to pay for medical care for members as needed. They tax themselves to support modern local ambulance services (for which they have to hire non-Amish drivers), modern health clinics, and hospitals.

The article seems to have been written by someone ignorant of all that background, who was paid by the word, and had a deadline to meet.
I wonder how many stories would remain in news organizations' posts if they couldn't be a story/anecdote (synonyms BTW), the writer had to be an expert in the field and they didn't have a deadline to meet? Once we whittle it down to those stories that qualify, how many would remain if a balanced perspective was required?

That would depend on the news organization's commitment to honest journalistic principles.

Tell me what you know about vaccines? I bet you can't have an objective conversation. The likely response will be laced with insults not related to anything of substance or on topic.
 
Let's not get carried away now! ;)
That is for sure. Those orgs peddled the Russian collusion story for 3 or so years. Then of course stopped peddling that when it turns out there was no collusion.

The Times however still has not returned their Pulitzer prize they won. You would think that would be auto rescinded since as it turns out the stories got it wrong.

But that is just me.

Ouch, right winger on right winger violence. So Watfly, how do you feel that a couple days after you claim that the right wing dumbfucks here are hte only ones who "tend to" report facts, one of them is raking you over the coals for disputing "facts" from a conspiracy theory website that can't even spell right? And also mocks two of the most legitimate news organizations in the U.S.? Or have you joined your nutter friends and similarly take the position that "facts" are whatever you want them to be so long as they come from anywhere besides reputable sources?

Here are some Herman Cain Award winners who seem to share, I mean seemed to share, you and your buddy's hatred of facts and appropriate places to find information.

Where is that website where you got the manifesto - which you posted verbatim in about 10 of the longest posts ever written here by someone other than crush - by the anonymous fake pathologist who did not go to a Big 10 med school or attend a high level residency because he is not real? I feel like you never answered that question.
 
… is from page 140 – and is the closing paragraph – of Thomas Sowell’s superb 1984 book, Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?:

People do not change their vision of the world the way they change clothes or replace old light bulbs. But change they must if they mean to survive. No individual (or group) is going to capture all of reality in his vision. If the only reaction to other visions – or uncomfortable evidence – is blind mudslinging, then the limitations that are common to all human beings become, for them, ideological prisons.
