{COVID-19} Coronavirus Pandemic III: Second Wave Preperation

[kuronosan]

exactly

even if there is a vaccine that gets approved, i doubt it will be recommended for the entire population. i'm betting it will be recommended with the same indications as pneumovax.

Lord knows we already have fucking trouble getting people to take that as it is.

When people say "vaccine" they are generally thinking "makes getting the virus impossible for everyone" and not "decreases your likelihood of getting the virus by 30% like the flu vaccine."

We're probably not going to pull a smallpox vaccine out of our asses with this one, so if you're holding your breath for it then I recommend you exhale.

At this point IDAF. Any type of preventative measure is a win in my book.

I mean, the ppsv23 is like "are you older than 2 and have you ever been sick". It's not a high bar to meet that recommendation lol.

●Chronic lung disease, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Pneumococcal vaccination is not recommended for healthy adults under the age of 65 years.

Also, even if a vaccine is developed, youre gonna have a shit ton of people saying theyre not gonna take it cuz reasons

A disturbingly high amount of my Conservative friends/family have already vowed to never get the vaccine cause "Bill Gates is trying to control me" or some other nonsensical reason.

Its an interesting duality of Conservatives being upset that their nation is being taken over by brown people, then going around and doing basically everything they can to ensure they die before said brown people by refusing to vaccinate, social distance or wear a goddamn mask.

Certainly not to say that all brown people are doing the right thing and taking this stuff seriously, but you'd think the people who literally believe they are superior would show a basic sense of self-preservation in the face of their country "being taken away from them".

Maybe they dont want to live in Indiamerica

You'd think they would just pull up their bootstraps and put the mask on and tough it out, right

[zoobernut]

Can we just create nanomachines that we can inject into ourselves that get rid of all diseases and cancers and viruses and clear our arteries of plaque and repair muscle and tissue damage and burn off fat and fix any degenerative inherited diseases and keep our brains fit and aware and stave off parkinson's and dementia and etc etc and help us live until we're like 250 years old already?

Is that too much to ask for?

Yes please. I am ready for the Star Trek future rather than the Terminator, 12 Monkeys, *insert dystopian apocolyptic movie here* future.

But pulling up boostraps = cowardice, because doing anything you don't want to do is "giving in and surrendering" and "I'd rather die on my feet than on my knees".

It always escalates straight to dying, lol. You wouldn't have to worry about dying so much if you just observed the medical experts! But yes, take a stand for something, yadda yadda.

People in at risk environments too. I was being a bit sarcastic.

Always about fighting. Never about helping. The only time they want to help is when it involves fighting.

"I wanna fight terrorists. I wanna protect my land and freedoms (through fighting). I'll die for my country (through fighting)!"

They just want to have an opportunity to shoot someone. If the ownership of guns is essentially cult status in your life then you're eventually going to want to use one on someone to see what it feels like.

it's just toxic masculinity at its finest

lmao

My fav version of that

I'm still waiting for "I don't want Gates to monitor me with a chip in the vaccine" comics

[Rhyis.]

A Russian hacker group called APT29 attempted to hack Canadian, British, and American COVID vaccine research trials today.
