Vaccine

That is a very peculiar definition of fiat currency: an increase to money supply.

By your definition, Spain's 17th century gold coinage was a fiat currency, because money supply increased.

Conversely, the completely unbacked 1981 US dollar was not a fiat currency, because money supply shrank.

I take it you learned your economics from a YouTube channel?
You're not alone in your lack of understanding of money. The masses, you included, don't understand that Fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a commodity such as gold. Fiat money gives central banks greater control over the economy because they can control how much money is printed. Most modern paper currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, are fiat currencies.

Of the 20 worst states, 16 fall into the “mask optional, vaccine optional, reopen early” camp.

Three of the other four are East coast states which got infected early and returned known covid patients to nursing homes.
 
Cases are definitely seeing a noticeable uptick in California. Interior areas are getting hit the hardest, but there's been a definite uptick in heavily hit and masked Los Angeles and heavily vaxxed and masked Bay counties as well.

 
Those of you (if any of you) who though vaccinating 5-11 year olds would be an offramp got played for suckers. When they say the quiet part out loud: some Covidians want kids masked for maybe a year or two more.


It makes no sense. They dont need a vax.

And I am amazed at the mindset that someone has a vax, but they want others to be vaxxed.

Either the vax works or it doesn't.

But the mindset of many is like the guy who wrote that article talking about his fear going to the wedding. Then making his kids sit 20 ft away from him at home before he bailed to stay somewhere else.

How are the ages "corrected"?

for the record, I think there is no doubt we'd see a higher death rate in lower vaxxed states. But that belies the question of what "vaccine optional" means...technically with the Biden order there is no vaccine optional state, or you could argue that even California is technically vaccine optional.

Further, that doesn't mean there's correlation with masks or reopening. The reopening part is also a bit of a die roll....depends if you timed it when seasonality kicked in for your area (such as NY at the beginning of the outbreak). Though isn't it interesting Florida despite the evil Ron DeSantis and his no masks, early reopening did not make top 20???

The other interesting thing from this chart is some of our richest and poorest states are in the top 20.

The guy in the article doesn't seem to realize he's more upset by the blue state and Covidian restrictions once he caught his cold than the cold itself. The only rational thing in the article is apparently he or his family saw his MIL during the time period...well if you really are worried about your elderly and you just went to a wedding and a cross country flight, why the F would you see your MIL?????
 
Speaking of the New York Times
All of this is your fault, they say.

If you had just listened to the experts (I am trying to use that word with a straight face) and followed their mitigation measures, we could have conquered this thing long ago.

So the whole thing has been a morality play: your "bad behavior" is keeping this going, while my "good behavior" is keeping it in check.

What you're seeing below are two maps of the United States, side by side, separated by roughly three months, depicting the COVID cases that our opinion molders profess to be so concerned about. These maps are generated on a regular basis by the New York Times.

Well, how about that.

Remember when the map on the left was the fault of Ron DeSantis? Not to mention the vaccination rates of those states, which were likewise blamed (although Florida's vaccination numbers for seniors have been quite high).

And yet with zero changes in behavior, the map on the left became the map on the right.

Are we supposed to believe that everyone in the southeast suddenly started wearing masks at the same time, and everyone in the rest of the country stopped wearing them, also at the same time?

A New York Timesreporter posted the chart on the right and asked how this was possible, given that the governors of those states had generally ignored "CDC guidelines."

I jokingly retweeted him with the comment, "He's so close to getting it."

His economic theories are way older than youtube. I once traced them to the 3AM infomercials urging everyone to BUY GOLD NOW!!! because the Federal Reserve was just a fiction created to allow demonic forces to tear down America!!!

I think those have been replaced by Pat Boone commercials (man, has his career sunk low).
 
Why do you assume that vaccinations is either 0% or 100% effective?

You have plenty of evidence that the actual answer is in the middle. You are well aware that the vaccine reduces but does not eliminate risks from covid. Yet you insist on putting forward the above argument, despite knowing that is is false.
Why would a non-corona tissue vaccine reduce risk more than the mandated immune system? Your tyrannical bent is showing.

weren't you one of the people who was arguing that it wasn't fair to say the vax didn't work if it still was effective against serious cases and death? Are you now saying the vaccine is not sufficiently protective against serious illness and death?

Speaking of the masses. Still grappling with the Fed Funds rate eh?

Of the states which banned mask mandates, 6 out of 9 are in the top 20.

Of the states which require masks in schools, 5 out of 17 are in the top 20.

Not looking good for your argument that masks don’t do much.

Hmmm. By what historical standard, or even current risk, are we basing this "safe for children"?

Covidians, nice. How about the Masked Covidians? It echoes back to the Branch Davidians. I like the parallel ;)

Hahaha! Because everyone knows masks are the ONLY variable that matters.

Speaking of false.

Health officials have been warning about a potential new rise in COVID-19 in California as seniors who got their shots last winter — and haven’t received a booster shot — may start to see their immunity wane, leaving them exposed to greater risk for infection and hospitalization, and as people gather indoors more as the weather cools and the holidays approach.

Demand for booster shots has fallen below expectation in California. And each infected Californian is increasingly spreading the coronavirus to more people; as of Saturday, computer models estimated that every infected Californian was spreading the virus on average to 0.96 other people; if that number rises above 1, that will set the stage for further growth of the pandemic.

“COVID cases are beginning to rise. Winter months [mean] people indoors and more possibilities for spread,” Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted Tuesday morning.

“Keep your immunity up,” he added. “Get your booster.”

Officials are hopeful that strict vaccination requirements in some of California’s most populated areas will help slow the spread of cases in the winter. In Los Angeles, a new city rule generally requiring patrons to show proof of full vaccination to enter venues like indoor restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, and hair and nail salons went into effect Monday, but won’t be enforced until after Thanksgiving.
