We've looked at the numbers. Tricking people to go where they are more likely to die is not generally considered a good thing.
This seems like the anecdotal information you continually say we shouldn't use to make assumptions. This isn't intended to be a gotcha post or anything, but there has to be some actual data coming in about the tests in regard to the omicron variant. I've heard of a few false negatives over the past couple weeks and was skeptical enough that I went and got a PCR test when I had been exposed.
Yes, highly vaccinated are getting breakthrough infections. But for the millionth time, they usually have mild or no symptoms. The people crowding hospitals and dying are almost entirely unvaccinated. It's not a difficult concept, unless you prefer Dr. Facebook.
Overwhelming hospitals? Dying?
WOW! PLEASE don't take this the wrong way, but I really hope you don't have offspring that you are passing this outlook on the current situation on to. Bro..... you REALLY believe what you just typed.
Really. He has every right to holler like that if an unmasked person is close to him obviously trying to fuck with him. Last week in our neighborhood Starbucks, I'm at a corner table when some angry guy walked in without a mask. Barista respectfully asked them if they had a mask and if nit they had one for him. He started screaming and yelling something about his rights and Fuck Kate Brown or something! Right there in front of customers and kids! I let him get about 5 words out and stood up and yelled with my deepest angriest tone I've used in years at him! "NOT HERE! WE DO'T DO THAT HERE! GET THE HELL OUT! IF YOU NEED HELP I'M HERE FOR YOU!
But once again, they aren't going to hospitals and dying.
You know that it's unvaccinated people that are dying now from this right. They are the ones jamming up the emergency rooms right? Vaccinated bolstered people are getting it....BUT ARE NOT DYING OR EVEN HAVING SYMPTOMS. You know this right?
you did the right think, I too dont like it when Im somewhere that requires mask and someone doesnt have one on. My comment was towards how he flipped out and trashed the person. He could have communicated more effectively, it seems.
public safety is a good reason for you to volunteer to take it...nobody will or has forced you too but limitations come with that choice to protect others......Orwell's novel has nothing to do with a global air borne pandemic...it's a common sense thing to do like controlling the spread of any virus. It works....I'm living proof of that and it hasn't given me any ill effects nor any of my family members or doctors.....it would be gone already if more people had taken steps when the Delta wave hit....now you can choose to be a carrier of a deadly virus and gamble with your own life but don't get near my grandchildren please while you take this totally unnecessary risk .Good luck...I think you've made a very wrong choice but you sure are free to make it. I'd venture to guess that if you contracted Syphillis from unprotected sex....you'd be the first in line to get a shot ....not thinking you're healthy and can survive it. If you're unvaccinated and haven't survived a covid infection already, then there's a good chance it can kill you.
Even if English is your second language, asking someone if they read books while writing like a five year old looks kind of silly.
we didn't achieve herd immunity globally when we needed to so new variants developed as they knew would happen....this virus should have been over in 18 months if vaccinations had been available all over the planet and people took them . millions have died unnecessarily because of stubborn resistance to a problem that they helped make worse....sure airborne virus can live and be carried by any host..that's always been the case...it could travel on your groceries.....we had a chance to kill it early but now, it's too late ..A good friend of mine has been doing research at a medical lab in Taiwan since the first outbreak in Wuhan and she's more knowledgeable than any other person I know....she'll tell you you need to get vaccinated and in her country they had to wait to develop their own because we weren't sending our overflow overseas. Now they have their own. As I said....good luck but in my opinion...you've chosen poorly so far.Good luck also finding any doctor or nurse who'll agree with you about how you're handling this.
