Political discussions about everything

So NOW do you finally admit Republicans shouldn't be holding those idiotic superspreader events, johnny?

Do you finally see how stupid Trump supporters and anti-vaxers and Florida and Texas Governors and other assholes are for insisting they have a right to do these things?

Go ahead, johnny, answer these questions.

But will you? Of course you won't, because you're nothing more than a hypocritical pussy.

Now, will you also admit that there is no evidence yet of a cluster around the Obama party?

In many areas, people who have had two covid shots (like me) are getting the Delta variant.

Perhaps the two shots are not as good as the scientists believed?

Instead of cheering on the fact that a governor you hate tested positive, why not wonder about whether pretty much all Americans at this point have antibodies, including you and me?

"In many areas, people who have had two covid shots (like me) are getting the Delta variant."-johnforbes

Thank you for making the obvious case that mask mandates should be in place despite the most dimwitted Republicans whining against them.


"Perhaps the two shots are not as good as the scientists believed?"-johnforbes

No, they have been shown to be almost EXACTLY as good as they were believed to be. The Pfizer has been about 94% effective against COVID, as opposed the the preliminary 96% phase two trial results.

The trouble is, clowns like you refused to take COVID seriously, and you still don't take it seriously, whining about your 'rights' and 'freedom' to infect others with your illnesses.

Your idiocy (yes, YOURS, johnny. You supported them the whole time, even though you knew perfectly well they should be vaccinated) has now bred a superior infector that has learned to get around the current vaccines, just as the flu does. That's on you.

Now we will need vaccines developed against the Delta variant. And if you clowns keep whining and wait too long to take those vaccines as well, we will be fighting the Lamda variant or the Omega variant. And one of those is going to be downright scary. But the vaccines we have are every bit as good as they were touted to be against the virus they were developed to fight.


"Instead of cheering on the fact that a governor you hate tested positive,..."-johnforbes

No, johnny, instead of enabling those partisan morons, YOU should be criticizing them for their refusal to protect their ignorant constituents by urging them to get vaccinated and wear masks. YOU'RE the one that should change, not people saying "I told you so." They DID tell him so, so they have a right to say it, even if it is nonproductive. No one (other than public health scientists) needs to "wonder" whether all Americans have antibodies. Even if they do, you still need to wear masks and distance.

Regardless, YOU need to look at yourself and change your irresponsible behavior of continually supporting the irresponsible behavior of your ignorant partisan leaders.

"What do masks do for people fully vaccinated?"-johnfoibles

Criminy, dimwit, EVERYTHING IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU.

You just said it yourself, vaccinated people can still catch the Delta variant. And that means they can SPREAD the Delta variant. What are you, mentally retarded?

You wear masks to protect OTHER PEOPLE from your ignorant, arrogant self, dummy, not just to protect yourself from others. You do know what "other people" means, right, johnny? Those are people who aren't you. You know, the other seven billion homo sapiens on the planet that you don't give a flying fuck about. But you are not the only person in the world and it isn't all about you all the time, you selfish turd.

You just told us that vaccinated people are catching COVID, and what you also know is they can be non-symptomatic. Since you never know when you might have it without a test, (like the Texas governor,) you need to stop arrogantly breathing on people unnecessarily, especially in closed spaces. And you also need to stop gathering unmasked with people of unknown vaccine status, which is virtually EVERYWHERE YOU GO.


"Early in 2020, Fauci even argued that only N95 masks (difficult to get, hard to breathe in) were efficacious.
Was Dr Fauci wrong?"-johnfuckingimbecile

Yes, he said N95s were efficacious, such as in medical settings. He was right. What has that got to do with any mask that slows down the 'jet stream' ejections of virus from coughs, sneezes, laughter, singing, and talking in closed spaces? If COVID can travel on air for over 6 feet from an unmasked person, then you need to reduce the speed of those ejections of virus so they can't travel so far. Everyday masks will also filter SOME of the virus simply because some of it sticks to the fabric before it escapes. This reduces ambient virus particle counts.

It's amazing your high school biology teacher, your high school history teacher, your high school physics teacher, or your high school English teacher ever gave you a passing grade. You seem to have graduated without any general common knowledge or common sense at all.

It goes without saying that people should take medical advice from the best experts they can locate.

Alas, anything which occurs in an election year becomes political, and covid-19 was instantly politicized.

Fauci lied about masks up until Mar 31, 2020, and later about herd immunity percentages, and his latest lie is that he didn't help fund research at the Wuhan lab where the WHO lead researcher now thinks patient zero came from.
#131779
And apparently conservatives are going to experts such as Phil Valentine the vaccine skeptic who died from COVID-19 and made a dying plea to all of his followers to get the vaccine when he was on his death bed.

Maybe republicans should stop being that shithole party that advocates for people to bring guns to church instead of a mask.

On the ranch, we did not pause to smell them as Divermouse -- a city slicker -- was obviously doltish enough to do - j forbes

well you must have been on a "ranch" of three cows, and thought you were a chisholm trail blazer. which is just like a sparkle pony rancher.

four times a year we were up to our necks in bovine ass juice royal. the smell of sweet hay, silage, and bovine field juice was just a constant. no need to pause. it's just there, as you would know if you really did ""work" on a ranch".

the only thing you worked on was polishing your arrogance and your knob.
