The Coronavirus thread

Quote: AZDuffman

Be careful using that word with him.

But really, if these new variants are so bad where is the doom and gloom we heard last year? Why is it not leading every news channel like things did last year?

Could it have to do with who is in power at the moment compared to then?

Because now, at least in the USA, every American 12 and older can get a vaccine to prevent getting the disease free of charge. So only really stupid people are dying from COVID-19 now in droves.
REALLY STUPID PEOPLE.

Actually I think it has more to do with who is in the White House.

Scratch that. ALL to do.

Hear hear
Its just shocking how stupid people can be
Attention Trumpers
The virus is NOT a political issue
Its A HEALTH ISSUE
Get the vaccine or you substantially increase your chances of dying
Thats not political, its simple math

You owe it to Trump to get the shot. He he worked so hard on Operation Warp Speed. Don't make it all for nothing.

A bit harsh Soopoo. There are a minority for whom the vaccine will not save them. A few who benefit a bit less or who are just a bit late getting their second shot.

But some REALLY REALLY STUPID PEOPLE Choose this extra risk. The risk reward ratio is so skewed that it takes a special kind of ignorance to willfully not see it.
What is the upside in exercising a right to avoid a potent weapon against a serious risk? What is the downside in taking it?

Now, a question for AZD: Is the guy in the Whitehouse stopping you or discouraging you from taking it? If not, what the hell has he got to do with your stance?
Do you think that maybe by voluntarily risking your life and those of your close ones, you are sticking it to that socialist commie lib?

Trump was my POTUS. That does not mean my life revolves around him.

The person in the White House has zero to do with my decision. My decision is based on risk/reward and history of medical things rushed out too fast. I would rather take my chances, though I wish we would put Hydroxychloroquine OTC so if it started coming on I could take it and zinc which seems to be the best thing.

Seriously, POTUS in office is not my life. As to the current idiot, I have not once tuned in to any speech or address he has given and intend not to short of an act of war against the USA. While the lefties here on this board revolved their lives around every move Trump made I am just living my life under the current regime.

As to "sticking it to the socialist" if SHIB goes to $1 I will do that by moving to Puerto Rico and paying no tax on my gains.

For context: Soopoo had asserted that covid deaths ( among antivaxxers ) were a direct consequence of the stupidity of anti-vaxxers. ( fair assessment of context?)

Yes, out of context. The first statement is about why the news is not reporting on the new strains, and that reason is a Democrat is in office. Thus the story will be buried.

The second statement is my saying I did not make my decision on Trump or Biden saying to take the shot.

As to people taking the vax, notice the two groups less likely to want it. Blacks and conservatives. A curious mix. Both seem to be skeptical perhaps for different reasons or perhaps not.

I see. Help me out here. This thread is over 500 pages long. Please direct me to the post where you got your context about lack of reporting?
