{COVID-19} Pandemic Vomit VI

[Day]

I guess pandemic of the unvaccinated is a thing people are saying now

[Tyrath]

I mean when 99%+ of new cases is in unvaxxed people....I can see it.

You could probably persuade some of them to get vaccinated but acting like they have aids might not be a good strategic move, seems unlikely to work but lets see how it go

[Tyrath]

Nah if they haven't figured it by now, it ain't happening.

The only way they will be convinced is if they start being not allowed to do things that vaccinated people can

if they want to die from covid its none of my business

Until you have to pay for their stupidity with rapidly increasing health insurance premiums.

Potential economic impact makes it plenty your business.

[Daydreamer]

The texas dems flying to DC that were all vaccinated and still caught it isn't helping. If you look up the Fauci vs Rand thing on various news sites and scroll to the comments that specific event is a lot of what people are talking about in them...

Saying this doesn't make it so, Riker.

Actually mockery has largely been the best weapon against people. See Mel Brooks vs. Nazi's. And People making fun of KKK members when they used to parade.

1. I'd like to see some statistical evidence of that, because anecdotally mocking just makes people dig in their heels more.

2. KKK still do parades.

yes nazis and the kkk are less popular than ever

[Kaslo]

I'm trying to find the source, but I remember a year or two ago reading a story about how small towns fought the KKK wanting to parade in their town in like the 70s or 80s and the most effective method being everyone showing up and making fun of them. The members stopped being public about their KKK affiliation.

Also, I've never seen a nazi praise "Springtime for Hitler"

[Mertron]

people in the 70s and 80s didn’t appreciate the fine art of trolling

[Kaslo]

True, it may be that we've crossed the Cartman threshold where nothing matters anymore.

Dont see any reason to start caring now

I genuinely believe some of those guys were lying about being vaccinated. Call me an idiot all you want, I acknowledge it's a hot take. But the chances of that happening to all of them is just astronomical. Either they're lying about getting the shot or their tests were false positives, or too sensitive? I'd lean for that if they're all asymptomatic.

From what I read the delta variant is so easy to spread because the viral load is often orders of magnitude higher. If one person had that and was asymptomatic + some of the other people had J&J vs the mRNA ones it's at least a possibility. Also Israel is claiming the Pfizer vaccine is less effective vs it as well. It's still reallllllly good at preventing serious symptoms, just not as good at preventing you from actually getting it.

Basically - it's a longshot, but still within the realm of possibility.

[Tymon]

I didn't consider J&J. Could very well be that too.

There are definitely some conversations going around right now that the PCR tests are becoming so precise that they are declaring people "positive" and, while technically true, they are likely not even capable of spreading the virus. Nor do they "have COVID"

This is really esoteric stuff though and honestly doesn't matter
