Vaccine

A significant portion (2x the mask/vaccine refusers) of the unvaccinated are people who will wear masks but not get the vaccine. Another cost of the mask oversell....they've convinced a portion of the population they don't need to vaccinate because they are masked.

Common sense seems to be difficult concept for our policy makers to grasp. How many people went out in public knowingly sick thinking a mask would protect others?

You heard it here first. Covid deaths are the fault of people who are being prudent, not the anti-maskers/vaxxers. Good one.

So people are being caused to die sooner due to Covid tipping the scale away from their favor? But not a pandemic . . . excuses, excuses, excuses.
If anything has come from the last 5 years it’s that some people have been convinced to feel free to find excuses for the craziest behaviors.

Speaking of crazy behavior.

One of the issues I encountered going to an elite college and elite law school is that many of the elite lived (don't know if it's true anymore) very sheltered lives up to that point (since they had to work so hard to get there...whether at sports, arts or academics). Common sense intelligence was very lacking (I suppose I was capable of noticing it because I was the worst offender and therefore it was impossible not to notice it when I fell on my face).

Book smarts are not the same as street smarts and common sense and people had a dearth of it in these institutions. Throw in a sheltered life and lack of real life experience from many of them and it's a recipe for disaster.

At least you admit that you have no common sense. Did you ever actually practice law, or did you squander all your equestrian skills and attendance at an elite college and law school and continue to live off a trust fund and an ex husband?

No question that that is not uncommon, its why I rarely hired a 4.0 with no real life experience, and preferred to hire B students that worked their way through school.

But the oversell of masks goes beyond this. Masks are visible token that our policy makers are doing something about the pandemic and its a way to identify which camp you belong to. You and I see someone outside exercising with a mask and think, huh, and question that individuals sanity, but to each their own. Others on here pass someone hiking on a trail without a mask and think the person isn't taking the pandemic seriously and are putting everyone's life in danger.

Reality is that people are far more nuanced than that, and you don't know their motivations. Unfortunately, our society has devolved into a prisoner of two camps mentality (see GG for Exhibit A) that is being promoted by our politicians and media. You can't see a vaccine so masks are an easy way to place people in boxes.

Glad you recognize co-morbidities. According to the CDC, 95% of those who have died with Covid have an average of 4 other causes of death.

Of whom none would have died but for Covid. Glad you don't give a shit about people with co-morbidities. Let's just kill them all in support of your anti-vax/mask crusade, am I right? The general had it coming since he had blood cancer and was such a loser anyway according to fearless leader. Powell should have just stayed home so that the real patriots can parade around without masks or vaccines.

Speaking of patriots....

And some wonder why biz hasn't rebounded, why people are out of work, etc.


SAN FRANCISCO CLOSES IN-N-OUT BURGER AFTER DEFYING CITY’S VACCINE RULE: “‘We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government. It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant associates to segregate customers,’ wrote [In-N-Out Burger’s Chief Legal and Business Officer, Arnie Wensinger].”

What's the end game? Is there even an end game? Is it just people with power exercising they're power in a mindless fashion. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but is there really this push to have more people dependent on the government? Seems to be the direction the policies are going.

The irony of it all. Less police presence is a good thing but let's require our lowest-wage workers to enforce a policy that is known to be an emotional flashpoint. Pure genius.
