Masks

[jcb]

I did not realize the virus had political preferences. I’m vaccinated and virus free so does that qualify me to apply for acceptance as a Democrat’s? And should I expect a notice from the GOP to cease and desist or be politically evicted?

Viruses don't have political preferences, but their effects do follow the path of least resistance. Trump voters are highly more likely to be unvaccinated, therefore more serious cases/deaths. Tons and tons of data out there on this.

i have/had 2 dim friends which were both fully vaccinated and boosted.
the virus killed one anyway and the vaccine almost killed the other with blood clots.
she has to take blood thinners indefinitely.

Are you trying to say the data is wrong because you have two friends that happened to?

Problem is the data. I don't trust the CDC or much of the 'data'. Too much vax money and control hungry politician involvement. That Ky elected another Beshear governor is beyond foolish...but that's another subject.

When hospitals are paid thousands more for each patient that dies from Covid, the data becomes highly suspect to me.

Also, the ever touted science has changed more times than my daughter on busy day of social obligations.

So you think that the hospitals and the CDC are making up the data? Come one man. This anti government stuff is getting too far out. The Government is not out to get you. And the first place you will go when you really need help after getting a severe case of Covid will be the hospital. Stop is with the anti government and anti hospital bs.

Hospitals aren't paid for COVID deaths, they're paid for COVID treatments; and rightly so, because all the needed ventilators, PPE, increased staffing costs etc. doesn't come cheap. And that ONLY applies to Medicare patients or people who are uninsured, not to people who have Medicaid or private health insurance.

As to hospitals faking COVID deaths - think of everything that would have to happen. The admins at the hospital would have to lie. The coroner would have to lie. The family would get a death certificate, and wouldn't raise a fuss if it said their loved one died with COVID when they didn't.

Much like the "stop the steal" movement - let's not let healthy skepticism override common sense.

There's actually a fair chance the COVID death rate is undercounted, rather than overcounted. But just look at the numbers - there's absolutely no doubt the unvaxxed are dying at a much higher rate than the vaxxed, and that Trump voters make up the greatest percentage of the unvaxxed.

Pretty sure that the truth is corrosive to him. I tried to show him and another/quite a few how masks were useless. Ok,5% effective, and they just got butthurt. The shot is a personal decision and should always be. I have stated that of those that took shot that I know, majority wouldn’t do it again. Unfortunately at that time the number of health issues among them were far fewer than currently. Good luck if you trust a mask or a $$ shot.

there are peer reviewed studies about just HOW useless they are.

I still got the shot, and I still used/believed some usage of masks.......

I will also get the booster....

We're still friends though, and I'd share a boat with you if you ever wanted.

later,
