Vaccine

This is interesting

More than a quarter of the Covid-19 pandemic's total cases in the United States have been reported in the past month, during the Omicron surge, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

After the Omicron wave, here's what experts say could come next in 2022

Picture a not-too-distant future when you can book that summer trip to Italy or you don't have to remember to take off your mask for graduation photos. After the past 25 months, forgetting the pandemic for even a little while may sound like a fantasy -- after all, the coronavirus has gotten our...

Just because you live in your preferred introverted reality doesn’t mean the rest of us are happy with it

Happy two year anniversary to everyone btw. Two years since covid first arrived in the us and the first restrictions put in place. Yay!

COVID Parenting Has Passed the Point of Absurdity

This was always unsustainable. Now it’s simply impossible.

The leaders of these states proclaim with the utmost sincerity that they are "protecting the children". Irrational fear and power are a very bad combination.

I've stated it a few times already, but it bears repeating. For many people in tech (and others who get to work from home), their actual day-to-day lifestyle has gotten better if you take away the fear of COVID - no commute, pajamas all day with an occasional change to a "work" shirt for Zoom, more delivery options than ever, barely any in-person human interaction and direct deposit is still going strong. Nirvana. Of course, they usually lead with "I am doing my part to contain the virus" and find themselves quite noble.

Probably unwise to repeat something you're wrong about.

Many in tech already worked remotely pre-pandemic in some capacity. Nothing new to those folks. For every tech person that's happy about working remotely I can find you another that is unhappy. If you've never been on the Apple, Google, or Facebook campuses you just wouldn't understand.

And no, nobody is going around claiming they're acting nobly. This is some manifestation in your head that you should get checked out. It aligns with the paranoia you have around shoplifters.

Yes. In fact, recent measles outbreaks among certain populations in America have occurred because those people for their own reasons refused to be vaccinated.

This is true; here is an example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16392073/

MMR is an attenuated vaccine, which is part of its high VE. As you can see from comments here though, even with as high a VE as one can possibly hope for fatalism will intervene. VE is not high enough, so doesn't matter. Then show that even a low VE can reduce total caseload, which is significant. So then the fatalism transforms to well, not enough people are vaccinated, so it still doesn't matter.[/QUOTE]

Hahaha! You are a worthless shill trying to protect those in political power right now by telling people that what they see isn't happening. I see you conveniently left out the part about the armed robbery. I noted at the time things were degrading in terms of security. Not long after my wife sees the obvious shoplifting, there's an armed robbery. One less troll to read.

Armed robbery? I must have missed something.

Yup, I'm part of the big conspiracy -- in fact I just landed my plane that released chemtrails. I'm a plant on this message board. It's all part of the master plan.

spoiler alert: Big foot is real and it was all part of a government research project. You can take that to the bank.

Me, too. I post under 7 different names on this forum, covering all wings of the political spectrum, some of them so crazy that I have them on ignore.

I certainly hope prep cooks, chefs and servers continue to do so. Besides that, why do you care so much about others trying to protect themselves and those around them? Control issues?
