COVID-19 Rant

[Alex]

I just can't feel bad for the people who passed from covid because they were too stupid to get vaccinated

Somebody with COVID seriously needs to cough on you repeatedly.

Good job he is already vaccinated then.

That worked so well for Colin Powell, didn't it?

As we discussed earlier, he had other conditions that affected him. I know you are a bit slow on these things, but try and make some effort to keep up.

...That worked so well for Colin Powell, didn't it?

Have you had a Polio vaccine?

[Rev. Powell]

That's not what "anti-mask" means here in America. Anti-maskers are people who believe that requiring masks to be worn in public is, basically, as bad as the Holocaust.

Wow: then I guess I'm really not anti-mask then. 

I exaggerate only a little. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/10/01/anchorage-mayor-bronson-star-of-david/

Oy, Grandpa William (my Dad's dad) is turning in his grave right now: those things honor Jewish people? That mayor is a mampara.

You "vaccine is the cure" types sure are funny. When an unvaccinated person dies of COVID, it's because you can only be immune from COVID because of the vaccine. But when a fully vaccinated person dies of COVID-19, it's because of "underlying conditions". The bottom line is that Colin Powell, fully vaccinated, died of COVID-19, plain and simple. Spin it all you want, Alex, but in the end this proves the point that there is no point to getting vaccinated...which begs another question; is the COVID-19 vaccine even a vaccine to begin with? It sure doesn't act like one:

The BBC has been told there have been around 100 cases on the aircraft carrier, which is part way through a world tour.
...
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said all crew on the deployment had received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and the outbreak was being managed.

You really enjoy wallowing in your statistical illiteracy.  Have at it I guess.

You obfuscate with whataboutism... the sum of your parts is intentionally less than the whole of knowledge.  You cherry pick.  Your "points" are irrational conclusions.  You want so much to be right.  I only ask again:

Have you had a Polio vaccine?

*sigh* Ok, one for the people who don't really understand things. A vaccine doesn't put some magic shield around you that prevents you from getting a disease. It teaches your body how to handle it when it does catch it. It doesn't even mean you won't get sick. It doesn't even mean you won't get sick, but you are less likely to experience the worst symptoms and have a mild dose of it in Covid's case.

But please, feel free to keep posting your views and amusing me with your childlike ignorance. Ok, lets see if we can find something a bit simpler. This won't be perfect as it is aimed at young kids, but here we go.


From How to Explain Vaccines in Terms Simple Enough for a Child:

How Do Vaccines Work and What Do They Do?

It might seem strange, but most vaccines actually put a germ into your body to keep you from getting sick from those types of germs in the future. The reason why vaccines can't make you sick is because the germ is either killed, really weakened, only a piece of itself, or in the case of some bacteria, its toxin. The germ gives your body a little taste of what it needs to fight off the germ. It's like a practice run. Your body doesn't know the difference between the germ in the vaccine and the dangerous germ out in the world.

Since a vaccine only pretends to infect the body, your body knocks out the vaccine germ really quickly. And the best part is once your body has fought off the germ, it will remember what it looks like. If that germ enters your body again, your body knows how to get rid of it before you even get sick or help you get less sick with something like the flu.

You aren't playing D&D here. A cleric doesn't put an aura around you that prevents the disease from entering your body.

Is polio the same as COVID-19? Or no wait...never mind. Go back to your "gotcha" question mentality; it seems to put your mind at ease thinking that all viruses and vaccines work the same way.

And yet, here you are, believing that getting the COVID-19 vaccine will magically protect you from COVID-19. Hence your "Good job he is already vaccinated then" defense of Vaccinated Bob and his superiority complex against the unvaccinated.

Yet again you are putting words in that simply were not there. I am simply commenting on the likelihood that should he get infected by Covid-19 he is most likely to avoid the most severe effects against it.

Sorry, but once again you fail. Never mind, you should be used to that by now.

 Vaccinated Bob makes me sound like a super hero 

[Rev. Powell]

I once argued with my date that condoms were useless, because I knew a girl who got pregnant even though she used one. She didn't buy it.

There is no reasoning with some people and no point in engaging with them. It wastes everyone's time.

I guess that makes sense if you believe that semen and water droplets carrying a microscopic virus have the same consistency...I guess...
