Edited to be more accurate. Underblown by the right. Overblown by the left. Just plain blown due to the fact that 640k people in the US have died from it. That sums it up pretty well. 1 Link to comment

Sticking to the party line messaging on the combine function I see. Link to comment

The research I've seen suggests that those who had covid should still get the shot, even if it's one shot. The CDC also recommends it. 1 Link to comment

Israeli research showing the protection levels are near or equal to the vaccine. And I’m not saying just get infected and not the vaccine (for those of you out there who take everything I say out of context.). In a previous post, I said that I personally believe they should get vaccinated also. But they are protected according to the current data and should not be shamed. Even Fauci had a hard time saying why those previously infected should get vaccinated when he was on with Sanjay Gupta and Gupta presented him with the Israeli data. I will find the paper and post soon. 2 1 Link to comment

Especially the Ivermectin/Hydroxychloroquine nutters? Because those are the people keeping us in this mess, spreading the virus when they could be helping ramp it down. I see no logical reason not to belittle those people. Where's the justification in letting them continue to screw it up for the rest of us with impunity? I agree that it is within your rights to do so...freedom of speech and all that. I guess my question is, if the action won't cause the desired reaction, why continue to do it? It seems like it continues to make people see red, when it has not shown to change the trajectory. 1 Link to comment

Main reason would be that it’s clearly not an effective tactic. It’s done out of frustration (understandable), like throwing your remote control when watching the Huskers. Serves only to entrench them further. What has seemed to help is to slowly make life less convenient if you’re unvaccinated. 3 Link to comment

Its clearly just a function of frustration and anger. Nobody should think these things are being done to get through to the unvaccinated. IMO it’s understandable and should be expected. And you’re right, the only things left to change their minds are making life less and less convenient for them. The messaging and reasoning clearly hasn’t worked, time to crank up the heat. 4 Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 Surely no one here is going to pretend there isn't a facet of society they make fun of. Libs, nerds, fans of other teams, whatever. Let's not try to pretend that deriding a particular group is beyond the pale here. We've seen too much of each other's interactions on this board to believe that. 1 Link to comment

I think doing something that serves no real purpose would seem illogical. 1 1 Link to comment
