Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[TheDarceKnight]

Ok but not everyone was gonna take this thing that quickly.

A lot of places got vaccinated quickly that had access. It’s so politicized and there’s so much misinformation in the U.S. that we did a pretty bad job.

Most people’s reasons for not taking it were stupid. Many were selfish, did no actual research, and wanted to be political.

This thing has been free and so easy to bet for a long time. Other countries that are better educated than us and not a selfish as us did a better job.

Also, it’s cool that you’re double masking, but you’re mostly helping others with that. A mask mostly protects other people. You definitely get some protection from it, but it’s mostly to block your particulates from when you breathe, spit, cough, sneeze, etc. But I think it does protect you more than what was originally thought.

I notice it’s mostly in the south that it’s really bad. Looking at the pandemic charts it seems like Cali and Florida are leading the way with the top cases. Texas and NY are not far off. As far as masking goes, it’s better if someone is wearing it rather than not, cause then your for sure to get sick.

No one has ever said the vaccine was 100% effective

and vaccinated people testing positive isn’t a public health concern

It absolutely is a public health concern when dummies like you are refusing to wear a mask.

there’s nothing to back this statement up

of course a vaccinated person with a symptomatic breakthrough case will have viral loads that have that can be passed to others (mostly unvaccinated)

the red square is the chances of a symptomatic breakthrough case among the vaccinated




and I’ve been to brunches, pool parties, clubs, bars, food festivals, kicks backs, birthday parties etc this summer

And Remember, taxpayers financed these vaccines. We financed the mRNA development and this is what they do to pay us back.

And our cowardly government leaders pretend that we can afford this and some how their nations will be insulated.

You are conflating two things because you are a dumbass.

You can get infected and carry the virus without getting sick and spread it to others. I’m not talking about people who are sick, even with mild conditions, I’m talking about the everything is fine crew spreading it.

Posting in threads about brunches, pool parties, clubs, bars, food festivals, kick backs and birthday parties doesn’t count.

You’re in the minority brothers. As far as unvaxxed people go. A lot of them are right wing qanon nutcases. It may not be fair to stereotype you that way, but anyone unvaccinated at this point (fair or not) is gonna get labeled a nut case by most people, unless they have medical reasons why they can’t or shouldn’t get vaccinated.

Everyone else has done their part. And the anti-vaxxer crowd is taking us right back to where we were last year. There’s no sub-sets within the crowd that got vaccinated. I wasn’t excited to get a non-FDA approved thing put into me, but I knew the potential complications from Covid were awful, and I felt like it was my civic duty.

The anti-vaxx crowd may have sub-sets that aren’t qanon trumpers, but it’s getting hard to expect much understanding from half the population that (mostly) thinks the anti-vaxxers don’t care about our health and are being selfish in a time where we’re all suffering. And I think there’s a good argument that most vaxxed people have sacrificed and suffered more.

fukk it. I wasn’t for vaccine passports or mandates, but I am now. I’m at the point where I think regular life should be a reward for people that are honoring the social contract and doing their part to help their fellow citizens. If a bunch of people that are 90% morons want to not get vaccinated, they should be the ones to suffer from here on out. At the very least, our front line and healthcare workers need a break.

my empathy is running short.

Got in to a huge argument with some of my anti vaxxer friends on WhatsApp. Basically half the chat is like HL and the other half is like TRL. The sheer arrogance, ignorance, stupidity and paranoia that was on display from the anti vaxxers was fukking infuriating.

Atleast I got a chance to see who I’m rolling with when the apocalypse happens fr fr. 2020 election and the vaccine has helped me see the real self of the people in my life.

now post the data that shows a symptomatic vaccinated people are spreading Covid

everything out there says differently

‘vaccinated people spreading Covid are about symptomatic breakthrough Cases in which they have have the same viral load as an unvaccinated person

This is nothing to be proud of in the middle of a pandemic

The CDC is planning to release a report that shows that vaccinated people can spread COVID. It just came out yesterday:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/30/health/cdc-vaccinated-delta.html

“High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the C.D.C., said on Friday.

The viral load data indicate that even fully immunized people can spread the virus as easily as unvaccinated people who become infected. “We believe at individual level they might, which is why we updated our recommendation,” Dr. Walensky said in an email to The New York Times earlier this week.

This is why they are telling states to return to mask mandates.

Most people aren’t getting sick if vaccinated but you can still catch it and give it to others.

that’s going to depend on the individual state hospitalizations. If those muthafukkas get jam packed again, shut down time.

Not if you protect yourself.

This always reminds me of the "But I'm a good drunk driver so it won't matter" argument. At the end of the day, if you are doing something that has an above chance in ending in disaster, it is safe to assume your contemporaries are engaging in similar behavior and so you are under-representing your chance of ruin because you are only accounting for yourself.

IOW, if you find it socially acceptable to drive drunk, others around you will likely reach similar conclusions and so you are missing half the risk when you only account for your own actions.
