What to do with anti-vax/anti-maskers...

While these stories are not recent, COVID has caused shortages beyond hospital and ICU beds.

In New Orleans you might've had trouble getting to the hospital. In July CNN reported that New Orleans 911 services couldn't keep up. (In the U.S. "911" is the telephone number for emergency services: police, fire and ambulance.)

-----"New Orleans EMS can't keep up with calls due to the Covid-19 surge as mayor restores a mask mandate"

In Orlando once you got to the hospital there was a concern about adequate water supply. The liquid oxygen the hospital used was also needed by the water company. In August CBS News reported:

-----"Orlando declares water shortage linked to rise in Florida COVID-19 cases"

In Los Angeles your death created concerns regarding air quality. To protect air quality, Los Angeles restricts the number of cremations that can be performed--but in January the New York Post reported:

-----"LA suspends air-quality limits on crematoriums to cope with COVID-19 bodies"

I know somebody whose cremation was delayed one month because of all the COVID deaths in New York City during March and April, 2020.

This is likely why *herd immunity* never materialized.

The CDC research even shows vaccinated pass the same viral load as unvaccinated.

That last sentence is missing crucial data, given that the vaccinated are only 1/4 as likely to actually spread the virus. It is far from equal. Vaccination is an extremely valuable tool, and a main reason California’s numbers are so much better.

I’ll have to verify the exact reasons for the 1/4.

Study: Fully vaccinated people with "breakthrough" COVID Delta infections carry as much virus as the unvaccinated

"Vaccinated people with "breakthrough" infections could still pose a significant infection risk to those who have not been vaccinated"

I repeat, your information is missing a key component of the equation. Or two:





There are more sources with the same data clarifications, but the above quotes come from here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... id/620161/

Ban them all from WrongPlanet.

Natural selection is taking care of them.

Famous Last Words:

• "Hold my beer."

• "It ain't loaded."

• "Looks safe to me!"

• "Okay, power's off!"

• "No sharks 'round here."

• "He don't look so vicious."

• "I fixed the brakes myself!"

• "This tater salad tastes funny."

• "I'll hold it; you light the fuse."

• "You can't tell ME what to do!"

• "Covid is a government hoax."

• "I ain't never gettin' no vaccination."

Because we're all about diversity and free speech around here.

Liars care not for diversity, and "Free Speech" means that the Government cannot arrest them for what they say -- it does not mean that anyone else has to put up with their bushlit, either.  So if they are banned from this website for spreading their stupid lies, their Free Speech rights are not being violated.

Defending a lie by citing "Free Speech" is saying that the most compelling argument you have for supporting the lie is that you have the right to express it.

Mod edit: For the avoidance of any doubt - this is satire and not to be taken seriously.

I would hope no one in the medical establishment would support this. I also hope no one in the food service establishment would support it.

And you have to wonder whether some idiots toss these things out just to see how many other idiots will go with it. (And I don't mean funeralxempire who I believe just wanted to tell us what the idiots were doing, not endorse it!)

I would hope that even anti-vaxxers would realize that's a parody and not serious.

But, considering they're the same people huffing peroxide, taking antiparasitics, internally taking disinfectants, or anti-malarials with substantial side-effects I'm not sure that any degree of absurdity or disgust would be enough to make them reconsider facing their fear of needles or their delusions concerning vaccines (or just this specific vaccine).

Dog turds are less dangerous and just as effective as many of the other things that some folks in that sphere have chosen to take. They're just (hopefully) more obviously a stupid suggestion, but if it takes off on guanochan that dog turds are a miracle cure I wouldn't be that surprised.

Well, you didn't specify where you found the suggestion.

If it was on a comedy or parody site then hopefully people would not take it seriously.

But if some "influencer" posted it I'd expect a few folk to be influenced. (Um...not to name Q or Trump by name as examples.)

Every time I peek in at this thread, I feel the sudden urge to buy more ammo, and gain a deeper understanding of how totalitarian governments manage to get democratically elected.
