OT: 87th Obsequious Banter Thread: Don't be Brash

[Lord Defect]

I think the point I am making is not the one you are defending. I was differentiating an infectious disease (ie, COVID) from nontransmissible causes of death. Yes, all definitely need to be addressed by the healthcare system, but not at all in the same way.

How about we settle this with a nice dad joke?

This thread is a sad reminder of how badly the internet plus decades of politicians defunding education systems has turned millions of Americans into smooth-brains. Sad state of affairs.

Did you take your Invermectin today?

I dont watch the news.

Im just not a f***ing idiot that thinks they know better than our healthcare professionals and scientific community.

Unfortunately you cant say the same. Hopefully one day you can (though i'm not gonna bet on it).

I don’t think I know better. But what I do know is that when you aren’t allowed to ask simple questions about something without being shouted down, you shouldn’t trust it.

Well, Brooksby tried, gave him a brief scare

The biggest smooth brains are the ones who get upset by simple questions, have no answers, and name call whenever they hear/read something the don’t like.

Once more: Long-term impacts of the vaccine aren't real. It's not a thing. All traces of the thing are gone in a month, and after that there is no additional impact.

It's safe long-term, just like all vaccines. For people of all ages. This isn't new technology. Shitloads of research confirms this. Not the news. Research. Science. Reliable stuff. Don't get caught up in the alarmism because your faulty alt-news sources are spreading nonsense.

If Brooksby gets a decent serve look out.

Anyone else get depressed when summer ends? Every year in late August/early September I just get into a funk.

This was from a study in Nigeria where Ivermectin was used to treat parasites. It found male patients who took it experienced significant alteration to their sperm counts, the creation of abnormal/deformed sperms, and albino sperms.

So umm yea. Looks like in the next 9-20 months we're gonna see a bump in albino kids born in the US.

Yes, but if I pump myself full of vitamin D's when I start to feel that way and keep it up all winter it seems to help a lot.

I also live on the Canadian prairies so that can't help.

I don’t watch network news anymore anyway. It’s all garbage. I watch the local news and that’s it. the national news networks just feed you garbage.
Things were much different when I was a kid and a young adult watching national news. They actually gave you national news.

I agree with the exception of the BBC. I think they do a good job with the guests the have on plus there is none of the shouting at each other bullshit.

And a major decrease in several rural counties.

By the end of the Summer & Winter I usually get tired of the extreme weather & just want Spring/Fall to happen.

Well if it's gone in a month, how does it protect me from the 'Rona?


I'm just asking questions!

Absolutely not. I rejoice at the end of the heat.

I f***ing hate summer and the endless swamp ass that it generates.

 

[ajgoal]

Summer is the worst season. Its ending brings much happiness for me.

Yeh... the longest "wait" for side effects in the history of any vaccine to date has been 6 weeks...

we have been using vaccines since 1796. Thousands upon thousands of vaccines over that time.

Odds are very, very good that as people have been being vaccinated for like 10 months now... and long term effects would be known. Yeh, ofc there are some potential side effects. But while some serious they are a very, very low %, and COVID is more dangerous that them in numerous ways.


I have some very social libertarian leanings. I am very cynical of the news. I am sceptical of governments, on both sides.

BUT I am also analytically minded and a researcher at heart.

I had some small reservations about mRNA at the start of this whole things. But I went away and read several studies in peer reviewed journals, read about how it works etc... and, well, the odds of anything being bad are really small.

Because that is what I do with almost everything. If I dont know about something and it affects me? I skip the news completely and go right to the horses mouth...


Now, nothing is certain in this life. But not taking a vaccine because of some infinitesimal chance of some random, never before seen thing happens? That for me is as logical as never getting on a plane again because some crash from time to time.

I'm with ya. I also get depressed by shitty weather during the summer, which was almost every weekend this summer..and especially the weekends I had outdoor plans.

Nope. This is the best week of the year. Cooler actually bearable weather and football. I long for it every year. Keep riding that wave through October.

The extreme seasons are the two worst seasons.

Summer is overrated because people remember what it was when you were a kid. As an adult it’s no different than the other three seasons unless you’re a teacher or something.

Variolation was smart by Washington! But Edward Jenner's (who laughed in English ) smallpox vaccine was the first vaccine invented a short time later.

If talking inoculation in general China, India, Turkey and parts of East Africa were inoculating against smallpox in like 1000 AD!

Speaking of the climate/environment...when I got back to Philly Friday night from a week at the shore....my asthma which is generally mild acted up pretty considerably and needed to use my inhaler which I rarely use. Don't think it was/is breakthrough covid but wondering if all the rain etc kicked up pollutants more than usual or just seasonal allergies as fall is ushering in? Probably both....living in a city is definitely shortening my life. We really done effed up the world...
