Members of Jewish community in Austin, Texas, received hate mail blaming Jews for Covid. There has been a strong undercurrent of antisemitism in a lot of the antimask, antivax, Covid denialism.

Now if you don’t get the covid vaccination you’re anti Semitic. Got it. Might as well throw racist and sexist on the pile while you’re at it. I don’t think a handful of dickheads in Texas represent half the country. And I don’t think this weird tactic of lumping the ‘unvaccinated’ in with every undesirable group under the sun is super effective in changing people’s minds. It’s kind of just nonsense.

Nothing is going to change people's minds, except possibly when it's too late and they don't want to be put on a ventilator.

At this point it's just frustration with ignorance. Which includes antivaxers, religious extremists, racists, climate change deniers, etc...
 
Stopped reading this shit pile thread. But I am curious what are the latest Covid rates and cases?
Are things getting worse? It started getting bad again in august right? How’s it looking. What level are we in?

Current sitch:



As of Sunday, California's seven-day case rate was 113.4 cases per 100,000 people, according to CDC data—much higher than the 72.7 cases per 100,000 people reported in Texas and more than double Florida's rate of 50.1.

US just opened up international travel into the US from select countries, mainly Europe and UK etc.

No, just stupid will suffice.
 
Governor DeathSantis hired as Florida surgeon general a quack who opposed masks and vaccines. He has repeatedly, in speeches, interviews, and op-eds, claimed he was treating Covid patients at UCLA Medical Center. MSNBC investigated and learned he never was involved in treating patients with Covid. Just made it up. I am not a betting woman but if I was I would wager it will not affect his job. Alternate facts.
 
Politician to miss his anti-vaccine mandate rally because he has COVID

A Republican lawmaker in North Dakota will miss his Monday rally opposing vaccine mandates because he has COVID-19. Instead, Rep. Jeff Hoverson said he will stay home and take a cocktail of medications including the unproven anti-parasite drug ivermectine and the malaria remedy Hydroxychloroquine.

“Covid is real and like a really bad flu,” Hoverson wrote on Facebook. “I am currently quarantining and each day is getting better.”

Hoverson claims his home remedy, which is popular with right-wing pundits, should be more widely used by the public. He noted that he’s not hospitalized and said he’s on the mend.

I believe that there’s a medical term for people who take medical advice from social media instead of their doctors. Oh yeah, “fucking moron”. We should definitely elect more of them.
 
A San Francisco cop who took leave rather than vaccine has died of Covid. He was on the force 27 years. His widow said he loved his job and family. But he loved rumors and conspiracies more, clearly.

My buddy's family is still spouting off about how Ivermectin works, and the government is trying to trick us...
My buddy died a couple weeks ago (35yrs old, but overweight), and his uncle (who is the healthiest 50yr old I've ever seen, literally tracking elk until they were too tired to keep running from him this hunting season. Like every hunting season)...

... Anyway, his uncle was just released from the hospital because they finally found him an oxygen tank setup so he could match his wife's, who was released about 10 days ago...

Logic and reason have nothing to do with this anymore.

Yeah, just like they do with every other vaccine required in order their children to attend public school.

Sadly, the Covid antivax is spreading to other vaccines. Mississippi does one thing right. Prior to Covid, they were the most vaccinated state in the country. Now state authorities are talking about reconsidering their very successful childhood vaccination program.

Some people never mend once they get Covid-19 but horse dewormer and malarial parasite medicine work wonders at getting the yellow out of your clothes.
Doesn't the idiot know that you can get lifelong medical problems from getting Covid-19?

This is what a stupid educational system gets you when it's not supported by politicians.

Maybe the super high vaccination rate is what made Mississippi the intellectual powerhouse that we all know and revere. Just an idea.
