I don't really think it is that different at all.
I'm seriously not arguing against vaccinations or masks or mandatory vaccinations in the slightest.
I'm just saying that this seems more like the flu (ie, it mutates a lot and we can never totally get rid of it), and less like smallpox (totally eradicated). So IF we can't eradicate it or at least severely minimize it based on new variants forming, what does life look like from now on? The Coz gave a pretty good answer.9/2/2021 9:56:28 PM |

I'm not sure it mutates as much as the flu. It seems that way mainly because it's a novel virus that has spread through the global population mostly unchecked by any existing immunity. That's a LOT of opportunities to mutate, and humans with no immunity are readily exploitable. My expectation is that as communities build resistance through either vaccination, or infection and recovery, the apparent rate of mutation will reduce to more controllable levels. I think I understood that influenza is structurally different in ways that favor mutation as compared to coronaviruses. But you're also probably right that it won't be eradicated any time soon if ever, especially with the numbskull anti-vaxers free to impose their ignorance on society. 9/3/2021 1:57:27 AM |

Welp, a somewhat close family member died from Covid over the weekend. He was unvaxxinated, and obese, and didn't take it seriously. Sounds like it happened pretty quick. He was admitted to the hospital, had to be intubated a day or two later, and his kidneys failed a day or two after that. I already knew about several deaths of family of friends and friends of friends, but this was my first close one.
I'm also following a guy I knew from high school who has intubated for a couple weeks now, not looking good for him either (he's slightly overweight, and unvaxxed I assume). 9/7/2021 4:00:41 PM |

RNA mutates because it has no proofreading mechanism, and can randomly generate new nucleotide sequences when it's transcribed, thus when it's translated to protein new amino acids are introduced. It's not the structure, it just doesn't have a grammar nazi enabled.9/7/2021 5:35:45 PM |

^ not talking about the magnet stuff
she got partially paralyzed from the waist down due to getting Guillain-Barré and had to learn to walk again, which you can watch as she can barely walk with a walker. is she faking all that? to what end? videos from hospital rooms and wards... all fake? she faked it all to receive all the hate and death threats she has received?
Quote : | "I’d read a real news article but that’s about it." |
you think every vaccine injury makes it to the news? if you got severely crippled by a vaccine, chances are high you would make a video and post it to your social media, at least the majority would. and if you did, should you be discounted because it's your home video and not on CNN? that's ridiculous logic.

People have absolutely faked ailments from the vaccine. The end is klout and the money that comes with. Not saying this lady is but its not unheard of.
More importantly, if it is real, so what? Hopefully nobody is making vaccine decisions either way of the results of one person. If her ailment is real it should be reported to the manufacturer and evaluated, a Facebook video isn't going to do any of that 9/13/2021 1:00:37 PM |

An influential COVID-19 skeptic accused of spreading vaccine misinformation and pushing a conspiracy that the pandemic was a “pretext to take down” the U.S. is also a licensed medical doctor and indicted Jan. 6 insurrectionist.
Dr. Simone Gold tours the country making false claims about the pandemic, saying things like, "asymptomatic spread is not a thing" and "all the vaccine candidates have problems. They’re all using the spike proteins, but the spike proteins are what we doctors call pathogenic -- meaning they’re disease-causing.”[/quote] 9/23/2021 11:46:28 AM |

From Breitbart:
Quote : | "Do you want to know why I think Howard Stern is going full-monster with his mockery of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus? Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.
.....................
If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I’m never getting vaccinated!
.......................
No one wants to cave to a piece of shit like that, or a scumbag like Fauci, or any of the scumbags at CNNLOL, so we don’t. And what’s the result? They’re all vaccinated, and we’re not! And when you look at the numbers, the only numbers that matter, which is who’s dying, it’s overwhelmingly the unvaccinated who are dying, and they have just manipulated millions of their political enemies into the unvaccinated camp." |

so....papa Trump fast-tracked the vaccine to...own the libs? or to save lives? the article makes it sound like they believe the vaccine is effective at saving lives, but the reverse reverse inverse psychology makes people reject the life jacket because freedom or some shit. but it's not a real vaccine and Trump recommends people get vaccinated, so....
it's like talking yourself out of breathing because the libs poisoned the air even though Trump created air under his watch but damn if the libs don't tell you to breathe.
