    OIC, that makes sense with herd immunity

    But why you are immune is generally because your body's IMMUNE system fights the disease off once it enters, not because it somehow cannot enter att all

    I was surprised. I have a friend that has an elderly woman for a neighbor. She goes in to check on her and she is convinced that Trump is the best person on the planet and he's going to bring back segregation, lynching and shred civil rights. I think she's in her 80s, maybe early 90s so she remembers life back then.

    So, I thought it was cool because my friend didn't even want to talk about politics (so I didn't have to worry she might choose Trump). Well, the elderly neighbor indoctrinated her to the point she registered and voted for Trump. She had NO outside information. She just got hooked. And, she doesn't watch the news, read newspapers, or even Google anything. The only "news" is FaceBook. She doesn't even verify. She just goes from zero to 80 on a dime. It took me about an hour to get her to comprehend the "Dr." title thing. Then, when she finally realized I was correct, she started b!tching about Jill not fixing the education system in this country [which is incredibly funny if you think about that a minute].
    I don't believe it was that in depth. He told them that he is only their president and he terrified them with spooky stories so he could play hero. Just the fact that he hates who they hate is enough for them.

    All of his rallies are the same. Him acting like a elementary school class clown but not as funny. I was under the mistaken impression that we choose elected officials based on their ability to lead our country aligned with our values and we go online and buy tickets when we want to go to a comedy club. Apparently, everyone doesn't make that distinction.

    I got misty a few times over him doing nothing to help the Capitol police officers and that was my white flag. I get why they might question some of his fraudulent activities, absolute lack of morals and ethics and even his obnoxious, buffoonish speeches. But, NOBODY on this side of prison bars should excuse what he instigated and allowed to take place at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. That is way out of bounds and has nothing to do with partisanship. Our own POTUS put a price on his own VP's back with a lie and sat and did not do a damn thing when the crowd he incited mob attacked those officers. I won't forgive that. I won't forgive anyone that justifies or excuses it either. Until that day, I believed that we are all Americans and we need to find a way to come together for the good of our country. As of this moment in time, I want nothing to do with any of them. I won't be angry forever but it's going to take a minute.

    My only consolation prize is knowing that he's going down in history as a traitor to his own country and Constitution.

    Quote some... epidemologist... or expert in the field so we can read THEIR arguments. Because yours are pathetic non-existent. But don't just send a link. EXPLAIN their arguments and send a link to support them.

    Oh... I see... Your "expert" is Tucker Carlson, or Alex Jones... or some similar anti-vaxxer charlatan.

    On second though, don't bother...

    So, I saw this bubble up again. Turns out, that the vaccines didn't stop the spread. Nor did they protect folks from becoming infected, and then also didn't stop those infected folks from exposing others.

    Doesn't matter is folks were vaccinated or not. Omicron infected everyone. At some point, all of this anxiety driven hyperbole really needs to stop. Democrats don't actually wear the masks, you know. They just expect everyone else to. That was all it was ever about. Democrats can't tolerate "others" not in their elite. And now, those, like the above who ranted for years about how "others" were the problem, it kind of turns out it was democrats, who, literally have always been the problem here. I recall folks from the left calling for camps, you know, like Australia. And now? now that science and medical professionals have demonstrated just how futile their othering has been, well, suddenly, quietly in fact, democrats are seeing just how stupid they look now. Canadians attacked their own people for just begging government to be reasonable. Talk about feckless thugs and tyrants.

    We shall remember all of this useless hyperbole. Democrats, gripped in their power mongering and tyranny. All the while, Biden failsd to keep the world peace. What a remarkable failure. Just another failure though, in a long line of failures. Brandon is making Carter look like he wasn't that bad.

    I wouldn't automatically assume right away that she is totally.


    I agree with your post. And I think Trump will be facing the judgement of history sooner than we once thought. If there is anything the situation with Ukraine appears to be showing, is that sensible people have not yet lost the information wars to the Trumpers.

    This thread is not about "stopping" the spread. And I'm not really interested in engaging in "binary mindframe" type debates anyway.

    So all you can do is appeal to authority.

    So I'm not an expert this sort of thing I listen to some that explained it.

    Seems they disagree with one another. However you think the experts you agree with are right and everyone else is wrong and stupid this is a telltale behavior of narcissism.

    I think you only really say this because you want it to be true. You can believe whatever you like. I know what I think and why I think it a lot better than you could ever dream of. So you're pathetic little attempts to insult are rather silly.

    I went back to your OP, and this thread seems to me to be about bigotry, namely the labeling of all unvaccinated people as "diseased" while completely ignoring all of the vaccinated people who are diseased and are "killing grandma". Your bigotry on this issue is downright disgusting.

    I'm not buying it.

    What do you mean?
    Golem, I am so burnt out on their apologetics. Anybody in his camp after the Capitol riot is helping him work against our country's best interests. He's sick, dysfunctional and toxic.[/quote][/QUOTE]

    Whenever I'm wrong, you'll know because I will immediately and explicitly admit it. Hasn't ever happened with anything you have ever said, though.

    No! I'm only pointing out that you have not been able to explain in the least discernable way your point about the vaccines not being vaccines. So maybe you know of a reputable expert who claims this and can explain it better than you can in the type of short sentences that we use on discussion forums.

    Obviously you don't so... that's the end of that...

    I know. That's the reason why I discourage anybody from trying to learn science from the likes of Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones (or similar)... That is sure to lead to an intellectual disaster.

    Huh? Where the hell did you read such nonsense?

    No need to respond: you obviously made it up! Easy to spot when somebody arbitrarily ascribes to me the word "all" which I use very sparingly.

    It was just a bad joke, but I cut the sentence too short. I meant that I wouldn't be so sure that she is totally wrong about Trump shredding civil rights and bringing back segregation if he came back to power.

    Oh. No, I don't think she's wrong at all! <---That's the problem. ;-)

    I also find it funny that some people (nobody here, of course) hate everybody that doesn't look, love and/or worship the way they do but we are the ones supporting them.

    that's exactly what you did.
    but why would I point out something I didn't say? My point was gene therapy is not a vaccine and that's correct I didn't say vaccines weren't vaccines
    I know of several in fact.
    I won't post their work you won't read it if you would, you would have by now. You don't care about the truth you care about being right.



    If you cared about knowledge you'd already know who I've read. You defer to news media personalities because you don't want to know.

    Rather sad really.

    The science is in. The "virus inhibitors" didn't work, you still got the virus, and you still could spread it. Masking didn't work, lots of studies to show that now. All that is left is for folks like you to cry that your totalitarian power grab didn't work out for you. cry.

    Ok... So the COVID vaccines are vaccines. Now we're in agreement.

    Not sure what all that was about, then.

    They worked as intended as proven by the fact that less people who were vaccinated went to the hospital or died. But this thread is not about explaining to you how vaccines work. There are multiple threads in this forum that do that.

    The mRNA therapy isn't a vaccine. The J&J one is.

    So there is a vaccine but not everything that you call a vaccine is.

    You might want to look back to those threads, as several of us spent a lot of time debunking your assertion here. No, the anti virals DID NOT preclude you from getting COVID, and certainly seems to have made getting Omicron more possible for those who have now been infected. The antiviral didn't keep folks from dying, too many casualties for that claim to be truthful here. And in no way did the anti virals actually stop the spread, another key aspect of your thread. So, your thread fails. Your commentary failed. And the BS lockdowns you promoted, like masking, made it worse for lots of folks, upended the economy, destroying the livelihoods of tens of millions of citizens, etc.

    I'd ask you a simple question, are you also going to be as willing to own the results baed on the long term effects of these jabs? Or will you be running away forgetting all of these threads you pushed..?

    Typical liberal response and why we should avoid publicly controlled medicine at all cost.
