Blazers game in LA.

I mean, I'd only want floor seats with no one in front of me good or behind the blazers bench by 2-3 rows. I'm really picky when it comes to away games, in Portland I'll sit in the 300 level no worries

But in LA, its not worth to go if you don't get awesome seats. I can get seats with the Blazer Fans LA group, they have some decent 100 level seats but going to Staples Center in traffic THEN having to put a mask on for the game when you are buzzin' doesn't seem worth it.

I'm really very tired and jumped to the conclusion that you meant Wednesday night. My bad.
 
Proof of vaccination is required everywhere inside in LA right now. I’m at LAX about to fly home. Been a fantastic trip!

But isn't it good to educate the vaccinated that it isn't as effective as they may believe? Many who are vaccinated act and live as if it is. While its good to get back to normal life, there's a certain section of persons who believes the unvaccinated are less than human. They wish death upon others and celebrate when the unvaccinated die. Its a very grim and fucked up point of view.

This isn't some Fox News/Right Wing post here, its Newsweek.

Still gotta exercise caution and know that there are risk factors, even when vaccinated. Especially in the vulnerable populations.

No, actually. It's far better to have people like that ignorantly get vaccinated than refuse vaccination.

Just post the numbers.

Or if you were going to post about it, this would be better.

We don't even know the circumstances of General Powell's death. We don't know if he contracted COVID or if he had a possible adverse reaction to a booster or if he even have a booster. We don't know if the vaccine he had "wore off" or what. Not a lot of info out there.

He could have died with COVID instead of being a COVID death, but that's how they count COVID deaths.

No, it isn't. Covid has to be a contributing factor to the death to be counted.

If you fall out of an airplane and splat on the ground, and you happen to have covid at the time, you aren't counted as a covid death.

What if the pilot has covid and his coughing makes him crash the plane?

You have to wait for the NTSB report, which can take years to complete. Therefore no plane crashes are counted as covid deaths so far.

Also any decent pilot would put it on autopilot while he hacks up a lung.

And none of that changes anything about what I said. What you are doing is making every effort to dissuade people from getting vaccinated.

Not cool.

No, I encourage everyone to get vaccinated. I think it's a good idea.
 
Phatguysrule said:
Sure. But your actions (overwhelmingly vaccine negative) encourage them not to.

That's why people call you out on it.

People shouldn't look at the world through rose colored lenses. A more honest and open discussion is healthy for the vaccine hesitant. I've always been open about my reservations and I still chose to get vaccinated.

By trying to filter information or push propaganda, you're only hurting your cause and cause more skepticism versus me, someone who discusses things openly

Reposting propaganda isn't the same thing as 'discussing things openly'.

I'm not trying to filter anything. I'm calling you out for pushing overwhelmingly negative vaccine information (you are actively being a filter which is pushing an antivax agenda). If you were neutral about it you would be posting overwhelmingly positive vaccine information because the positive impacts have been many orders of magnitude more positive than any negative outcomes.

You are being part of the problem. Your actions are very possibly hurting people.

I just want to make sure you are aware of that.
