    Masks don't work if you're secretly injected with it without your knowing. . .


    A bump in a crowd & a tiny bore needle, & you'll not even notice. . .

    Bye.

    but, for real, masks don't protect you from disease, they protect others when you're sick.

    As I live in a big city, I wear a paper mask whenever I go out, especially using mass transit, when I have a cold or flu.

    whats the difference? they got vaccines and went to the super spreader events in my area.

    My vax nurse tolld me plainly she will keep wearing a mask & avoiding groups even though doubly vaccinated because having both vaccines (initial+booster) makes you 95% protected, meaning, on average, if you meet 20 people who have covid, odds are reasonable you'll catch it. The masks add a small percentage extra, but at no time do you hit 100% safe, unless you hermitize up on a mountain & never come down.

    Good news is Gates may not even be in that number who enjoy the fruits of

    I hope you're taking an ANTI-expectorant; if not, that could explain your productive cough; I can usually tell when I have pneumonia & text my GP to
    send in a prescription for the right prophylactic antibiotics. . .

    Sounds like a flu; have you tried Tylenol for colds & flus? I find that or Advil helps those kinds of symptoms.

    Everyone seems to be getting a cold or flu right now -- just in time to scare the {political promises} out of everyone who's paranoid about covid when they cough! *LOL*

    I'm double vaxxed so, with my aforementioned swims in liquid sh*t, I feel I'm good to go. . .

    Did you hear the joke about the coronavirus?
    I probably shouldnÆt spread it.

    I tried to make a coronavirus joke a while back.
    No body laughed at that time, but eventually everyone got it.

    Coronavirus is now all over the world
    But China got it right off the bat.

    Will the Coronavirus shot come with a wedge of lime?

    i wear a mask 100% of the time in public and in the workplace. in the workplace i wear goggles, 2 masks and 2 pairs of gloves usually.
    also i social distance and I never was a close talker.

    i'm pretty sure i got it from a coworker who went to some super spreader events.

    my mom wore a mask outside and in the house when there were visitors. she wore gloves in the house too. visitors had to do the same. it didnt do her any good.

    The issue is it's a numbers game. Wearing a mask is about 30% effective from defending transmission from what I remember (not great, but not "doesn't work). It is much more effective keeping someone from spreading. If both have masks, it's extremely effective.

    my mom wore a mask outside and in the house when there were visitors. she wore gloves in the house too. visitors had to do the same. it didnt do her any good.

    The issue is it's a numbers game. Wearing a mask is about 30% effective from defending transmission from what I remember (not great, but not "doesn't work). It is much more effective keeping someone from spreading.
    If both have masks, it's extremely effective.


    it's more like it's a game where nobody knows the rules or how things really work. but there are a lot of opinionated people who believe everything fauci tells them.

    both people having masks. tell that to my dead mother.

    I'm 95% immune, which is far more than I was without it.

    95% immune? how do you know that? that's what they told you?

    It's standard for this type of vaccine.
    95% of population 95% immune = herd immunity & 10% immunity for all, on
    average (cf. Polio)

    Plus our new law required this to participate in all activities & go everywhere.

    doesnt sound like a plus to me.

    I like to get out & about on occasion.

    Did you hear the joke about the coronavirus?
    I probably shouldnÆt spread it.

    So with double vax & mask, I'm 96% protected; I'll take it over any
    less.
    I'm hoping my natural built immune system will cover the last 4%. . .


    so my coworker is double vaccinated and wears a mask.
    how did he get sick from covid if he's 96% protected?

    Easy, 96% is not 100%.

    Iof there's even only 1 in 100,000,000 chance, thart's still one & the
    Earth has 80 groupingsof that size, so even at that low a rate, there'd be
    80 people catcghing it. Sucks to be them &/or their friends & family. . .

    But it's reality.

    I too am tired of this "anti-vaxxer" BS. I'm technically an anti-vaxxer, despite having advocated for vaccines, being vaccinated myself, including for COVID-19.

    But simply because I'm not for it being mandatory, I'm made out to be a conspiracy theorist anti-vaxxer. I'd take the so called "anti-vaxxers" over the smug and self-righteous.

    I'm 95% immune, which is far more than I was without it.

    95% immune? how do you know that? that's what they told you?

    It's standard for this type of vaccine.
    95% of population 95% immune = herd immunity & 10% immunity for all,
    on
    average (cf. Polio)


    OH, we've had this type of vaccine before? and it's like the polio
    vaccine?

    No, I'm saying that the math is standard (95% effective for 95% of the population = 100% herd immunity.)

    Just remember, that even a 0.000001% chance - one in a million & there are
    8 billion people on the planet.

    It's not zero.

    But I think it's better to increase my odds of not getting it, or, if I do,
    to reduce severity of symptoms.

    I couold catch it the day after my shot, & I could get one of the most
    severe set of symptoms possible.

    But I could get hit by a meteor, too.

    I can stay inside 95% of the t8ime, & there'd be 95% less chance of me
    being struck by a space rock big enough to kill me.

    It's basic ratios/odds is all. I prefer to be on the winning side, as in
    poker -- if I'm on the winning side of the odds, I'll bet, likely, & more
    often than not win.

    I love poker, mostly because I'm good at estimating my hand's value in a
    given situation, & betting to maximize my gains. . takes a little game
    theory, too.

    so my coworker is double vaccinated and wears a mask.
    how did he get sick from covid if he's 96% protected?

    Easy, 96% is not 100%.

    makes sense to you, i guess.

    Yup, when you consider the numbers, 4% is a LOT of people!

    Based on estimated US population as of yesterday (Sunday, 26-Sep-2021) 4%=13,335,795 people!

    Take the population of your community, divide it into 333,394,863 to find
    out the odds you'd meet someone who got infected after having both
    vaccinations and wearing a mask. I guarantee you it's not zero.

    Sorry, moving off topic for a moment since thing brings up an interesting question.

    No matter where you are, if a space rock were to hit you, you'd be dead. That's just physics. F=MA. Can't push on a rope. (See, I do remember some of my college physics.)

    Now, the statistical question is: Would the odds of getting hit be higher if you always stayed in one place? Or if you were in more places?

    To put it back on topic:
    The odds of me getting sick enough from COVID to seek hospitalization is greater than the odds of me dying in a car accident on the way to my doctor's office to get the not-vaccine.

    And the odds of me getting sick enough from COVID to seek hospitalization is greater than the odds of getting a horrible side-effect from the not-vaccine.

    So, for me, the smart bet is to not get the vax.

    Or for my state:

    You were the one who said something about a 96% success rate with the vaccines.. I was just using 4% as the leftover number who might get covid..

    The more time people need to spend just doing the things necessary to live means that they don't notice as much when their freedoms are taken away.

    Anyway, I'm sure your 4 people is a good enough sample size to be
    representative of everyone.

    it's remarkable that within the small amount of people i interact with that there's 4 vaccinated people that got the virus. if you can't see that, i can't help ya.

    I don't really know how many people you interact with.
    I also know people who have been vaccinated, and only one of them has tested positive for covid.

    We've had multiple positives amongst vaccinated people at work. Currently,

    They won't necessarily tell us when someone has it or has tested positive, so we only know if that person tells us. In other words, "multiple" = 7 that
    I know of, but I certainly don't know of all of them.

    My county, at the same time, had the second highest vaccination rates, and
    also one of the highest positivity rates, in the state as of two weeks ago.

    it's not much. i only work sleep and eat right now.

    anyways, my point is the vaccines are shit. they are more trouble than what they are worth. in other countries the hospitals are filling up with people who got the jab.

    if you know one vaccinated person who got covid that is one too many. stop being fucking stupid and complacent. nobody would tollerate it if everyone was getting polio despite the vaccine.

    My Wife and I are seeing the same things at our place of work. Not sure what is happening but all that are positive have ended up quite sick with a couple in the Hospital. All were vaccinated..... We just try to be as safe as possible due to the fact that we are older. We have both been vaccinated since June.

    They usually won't tell us. We have to find out second hand unless it is someone in our branch. Then they tell us not to come in on our days, but
    won't tell us which area the person works in unless it is our area. Then
    they tell us not to come in and that we should maybe get tested.

    That is actually a concern of mine. A lot of people are acting like vaccines are perfect when there
    are clues enough they are not nearly as effective as the manufacturers claim.

    A supervisor at a hospital that subcontracts my clinic got the jabs, and after taking the seond
    shot walked out singing "I am immune, I am immune!" throwing the mask away as if the virus was no
    longer a problem. This is troublesome because we are actually seeing a lot of people getting
    trashed by the virus, vaccine or not vaccine.

    The same people who is giving up with masks and precautions are, curiously, the same people who get
    outraged because somebody doesn't want to take the vaccine, arguing that unvaccinated people may
    get vaccinated people infected and killed. The ammount of mental gymnastics it takes to accept such
    position is amazing: this people believes, at the same time, that vaccines are perfect AND that
    vaccines can't protect them from carriers of the virus.

    You're repeating the propaganda.

    The COVID "vaccine" is not a vaccine. It was never intended to "protect againstCOVID." It was theraputic intended to lessen the severity of a single strain of COVID so that WHEN you get it (and everyone will), you don't die from the symptoms.

    But seeing that the survival rate of COVID is 99%+, only the very vunerable benefited from it. Yet, for some strange reason, everyone "needs" to get it.

    Proven: The vaxxed can get COVID.
    Proven: The vaxxed can spread COVID.
    Strong evidence: The vaxxed are more suseptable to other strains of COVID.

    So what use is the not-vaccine for the vast majority of the population?

    Yes, I never heard it was 100%, either, even before I got it. The effecacy (sp?) rates they were quoting depended on the brand of vax you got, too.
    IIRC, one was pretty high when it came to supposedly not getting it, while
    one of the other two was quite a bit lower, but had a much better rate of
    "not becoming seriously ill if you get it."

    All those rates were quoted before delta took off. Seems to me the "won't
    get it" rates were overstated but are at least keeping most (but not all!) people out of hospital.

    Yes, it is Delta. If the shot is not effective against Delta (which seems
    to be the case) they should come clean and tell people that. The
    government, etc., don't seem to like admitting to that possibility much...
    they stay on the "get the shot!" message.

    I know that it is probably a good thing to keep encouraging the shot, but
    you give those in the "no shot!" camp even more ammo when you are not completely truthful about what is up. It also gives people a false sense
    of invulnerability, like they can go back to 100% normal when they really should not.

    The Vaccine does not prevent you from GETTING covid, it keeps it from being as BAD. Just like the annual flu shot doesn't prevent you from getting sick, it just keeps you from getting AS sick as you might without it.

    The Vaccine does not prevent you from GETTING covid, it keeps it from being as BAD. Just like the annual flu shot doesn't prevent you from getting sick, it just keeps you from getting AS sick as you might without it.

    As others have said, I think there is some confusion over it being called a "vaccine". Some dictionaries define "vaccine" as something used as a preventative inoculation for immunity against a disease. For instance, the polio vaccine was used to prevent polio. I don't think the polio vaccine only made polio less bad if you did get polio...

    It seems similar to the flu shot. But the flu shot isn't called a "flu vaccine". So if the covid shots are only supposed to make it less bad, why is it being called a vaccine? The way they've talked about it, they made it sound like it should prevent you from getting covid.

    All those rates were quoted before delta took off. Seems to me the "won't get it" rates were overstated but are at least keeping most (but not all!) people out of hospital.

    you mean it's the same as it was when we didnt have the vaccine.

    I cannot say that for sure, but it feels like it in my area (i.e. back in
    the red, number of people getting sick was up like it was last year, etc.).

    Yes, I know some folks who seemed to think that after they got it they could let their guard down. Having politicians like Joe Biden originally telling people that the vaccinated no longer needed masks didn't help.


    all those people were saying that.

    Most of them I can remember sure did.

    what i hate is seeing people say people need to lose all their human rights if
    hey dont have a vaccine.

    I believe everyone should get vaccinated, but don't believe that this is
    right, either. I had to travel recently. I should not have to worry about something bad happening because I forgot to take my vax card with me but,
    with everything that has been going on recently, I regretted not having it until I got home.

    The Vaccine does not prevent you from GETTING covid, it keeps it from being as
    BAD. Just like the annual flu shot doesn't prevent you from getting sick, it just keeps you from getting AS sick as you might without it.

    The problem is that even the party in power cannot keep their stories
    straight about that bit. Biden, in particular, initially telling people who were vaccinated that they didn't need to wear masks any more. A lot of people got false hope out of that.

    My county, at the same time, had the second highest vaccination rates,
    and also one of the highest positivity rates, in the state as of two
    weeks ago.

    We shouldn't forget a few other pieces to the puzzle, though:

    What is the TESTING rate between sample group A and B?

    Also, the vaccine is not a guarantee against contracting COIVD. A reasonable person would assume that the potential pain/suffering would be far less in a vaccinated person.

    I have always been opposed to shutting down the economy. I am lukewarm on
    the untrained public wearing non-medical masks, I just see them as a harmless safety blanket.

    However, I have not seen one credible piece of evidence that the current vaccines do any harm enough to outweigh their proven effectiveness.
    Therefore, I am absolutely for getting vaccinated.

    The COVID "vaccine" is not a vaccine. It was never intended to "protect againstCOVID." It was theraputic intended to lessen the severity of a single strain of COVID so that WHEN you get it (and everyone will), you don't die from the symptoms.

    The whole point of these measures is to lessen the burden on healthcare
    systems and, if nothing else, slow down the transmission until better therapeutics are available. As of today, it looks like there are promising
    new medications coming out that would be more like what the public considers
    to be a "cure".

    I expected nothing from Spain yet Spain still managed to disappoint me in this regard.

    I've been told some known Doctor which collaborates with the clinic I work for and has
    been working in South America phoned in for a small emergency. Apparenty a relative of
    a friend is in intensive care in Spain and here in Spain we won't authorize some
    treatment this same Doctor has been deploying in South America for very good effect.

    Then they wonder why people smuggles anti-cancer stuff into Spain when we have such a

    I posted the summary of a video in which they threw some numbers around (which you may
    believe or not).

    Doctors I deal with mostly think you should take the shot if you are above 52 years
    old or have complications that don't interfere with the shots.

    A good number of them also seem to think they are enforcing the administration of the
    shot on people on which it is useless or on which it offers no significant gain against the risks.

    I have heard some studies regarding the effects of the shots in pregnant women were
    deliberatedly rigged so I'd also be careful there.

    My position is to let anybody who wants the shot get it and let anywhody who does not
    want it be.

    The FDA is no longer relevant since it's a partisan political agency.

    To use the example of Ivermectin. Despite the Propaganda Ministry push, it is not a "horse dewormer" (although it's used in that product). Ivermectin is a nobel winning drug that was created a long time ago. We know how it works and we know what side effects it has. It's been proven safe. And a state in India (which has a very dense population, at least as large as the U.S.) has been declared COVID-free due to its use.

    You have to remember that the power hungry Elites don't want COVID to go away. Fear makes it easy to control the sheeple.

    The flu vaccine is an actual vaccine. But the flu is a virus and we can't create a general vaccine against a virus (too much variation, I assume).

    The Encyclopedia Britannica hasn't been 'converged' yet. So that still contains the correct definition of "vaccine": https://www.britannica.com/science/vaccine

    So each year, they try to figure out what flu variant will go around, then they cultivate that flu variant in eggs (hence the warning about egg alergies when you get your flu shot) then make teh vaccine out of that.

    They basically inject you with the weakened or dead flu viruses. So they actually give you the flu, and you will show flu symptoms for a bit.

    But sometimes they miss what the variant will be that year.

    I rarely hear people call it a "flu vaccine" though. I pretty much always hear people say "flu shot". Is it really a vaccine?

    To use the example of Ivermectin. Despite the Propaganda Ministry push, it is not a "horse dewormer" (although it's used in that product). Ivermectin

    There is a horse dose of Ivermectin that's not for use in humans, then there is the 2015 Nobel winner human doseage that is for Humans and has been and is still being tested as a treatment theraputic against covid.


    i used the horse version for my rats. rats are very similar to humans.
    it didnt hurt them any.

    the guy that gave me the virus had the vaccine. he was sicker than i was.
    why would the potential pain and suffering be far less? have you ever heard o
    a vaccine where people still get sick? i never have.

    The flu vaccine, but that is supposedly because a strain starts going around that was not accounted for when the vaccine was formulated.


    oh so you bring up another bullshit vaccine?

    Well, that is a "vaccine" we've both heard of where people still get sick.

    The flu vaccine is an actual vaccine. But the flu is a virus and we can't create a general vaccine against a virus (too much variation, I assume).

    COVID is also a virus so, assuming that they went through the same process
    to create one like the flu vaccine, they could still miss a variation,
    which means it also would never be 100%.

    The Encyclopedia Britannica hasn't been 'converged' yet. So that still contains the correct definition of "vaccine": https://www.britannica.com/science/vaccine

    SHHHH! Don't tell anyone! :)

    So each year, they try to figure out what flu variant will go around, then the
    cultivate that flu variant in eggs (hence the warning about egg alergies when you get your flu shot) then make teh vaccine out of that.

    Interesting. I knew that egg played into it somewhere. IIRC, they also
    asked if I was allergic to eggs before giving me "the jabs."

    They basically inject you with the weakened or dead flu viruses. So they actually give you the flu, and you will show flu symptoms for a bit.

    Yes, sometimes I feel it more than others.

    My horses hate invermectin. I usually give them an Invermectin+Praziquantel and they despise it. It
    is worse nowadays since my local vet store does not carry the fruit flavored ones.

    The mother of one of my mares got an abortion because they gave her a load of that stuff while
    pregnant. I think the box said very clearly not to give the thing to a pregnant mare, and this
    redneck did it. I feel like punching this guy's head off each time I see him (for this and other
    things).

    But yeah it kills parasytes very effectively (which is the point) and allows my horses to grow big
    and strong and to hug me brutally, so I suppose it is not _that_ bad.

    "Vaccine" is not a word that people use alot. So "shot" probably comes to mind quicker for most people.

    But, yes. By the definition of "vaccine" (pre-Sept. 2021):
    "vaccine, suspension of weakened, killed, or fragmented microorganisms or toxins or of antibodies or lymphocytes that is administered primarily to prevent disease.

    A vaccine can confer active immunity against a specific harmful agent by stimulating the immune system to attack the agent." https://www.britannica.com/science/vaccine

    The flu vaccine is made from weakened, or killed viruses and it will confer active immunity to that particular strain of the flu. But it won't help you against other strains. Which is why they have to come up with a new one every year and why it's sometimes hit or miss.

    Right. But the COVID not-vaccine isn't like the flu shot. The research into the RNA "vaccines" has been complete failure so far. But now they want us to believe that they got it right this time. Right....

    Interesting. I knew that egg played into it somewhere. IIRC, they
    also asked if I was allergic to eggs before giving me "the jabs."

    I think the person was used to giving flu shots and just did it on autopilot. They didn't use eggs for the not-vaccine. Only aborted fetal issue.

    Yes, sometimes I feel it more than others.

    I used to get the flu shot every year. Some years it was nothing. Other years I would get "sick" for a bit (for me, that's just low energy for about 6 hours).I would guess it depends on the strain of the flu that year.

    There are no COVID vaccines, regardless of what the Propaganda Ministry says.

    The not-vaccine that they are calling a "vaccine" isn't a vaccine. It's a theraputic and it is untested and unproven (because that takes years of studies to do).

    However, they are a few therapies and drugs on the market today that are tested and proven against COVID. The the Propaganda Minsitry and the Leftie Elites are doing their best to block their use.

    To use the example of Ivermectin. Despite the Propaganda Ministry push, it is not a "horse dewormer" (although it's used in that product). Ivermectin is a nobel winning drug that was created a long time ago. We know how it works and we know what side effects it has. It's been
    proven safe. And a state in India (which has a very dense population,
    at least as large as the U.S.) has been declared COVID-free due to its use.

    That's up to you. To be honest, I barely even think about COVID. I got the vaccines and it seems to be a relative non-issue here in British Columbia, where we have a 90% vaccination rate. I show my vaccine passport at the
    movies and restaraunts. No big deal. Most of this conversation seems to be

    The problem comes when they declare that you need a COVID passport for applying for a job or things like that. At that point you are fucked up unless you comply, there is massive civil disobedience, or migrate out of the country.

    I don't think the vaccines or the virus are a problem as much as the fact these opression mechanisms are falling back in place and a whole lot of the population is not even complaining, or are even cheering all through the process.

    Setting aside that I think forcing somebody to put biological agents inside his body is a flagrant violation of his rights, once you have a Compliance Passport working you can force people to do ANYTHING under the threat of marking them as outcasts.

    I think the implementation of Compliance Passports in a country is reason enough and sufficient to leave said country.

    My experience is these sorts of things have different outcomes depending on whether enough people cares either way.

    There are around 200k enforzable laws in Spain (somebody actually published the number). Nobody knows them all. Chances are any random store you pick on the street is breaking enough of them to grant its legal obliteration, so if you know what you are looking for, you can report nearly anybody to the authorities.

    The only reason why society does not implode is that nobody cares that your store doesn't have your emergency lights updated to the current year's standard, nobody checks the composition of the insulation in your power wires, and so on.

    I could put a serious dent in my village's economy by suing every single shepherd for the fact none of their shepherd dogs are registered and chipped. In fact, it seems the Spanish way of screwing your neighbour over when you are angry with him is reporting any such small transgression to the authorities. The drawback is that then they get to sue you back for the thing you least expect and then you get to burn too.

    So well, if enough people didn't care about the Compliance Passports then operating a bar which does not give a damn for them would be just like operating a bar in which the anti-panic lights are a year too old. Nobody would care.

    IMO a society in which a bar gets sued an investigated because harmless transgressions such as taking Compliance Passports lightly is like a Spanish Inquisitorial hellhole in which you cannot live your life alone because snitches will sell you to Torquemada.

    ... Overtly resist change

    There are enough countries in the world to make some numbers and then extrapolate.

    A number of countries have cut short their vaccination campaigns because their governments considered there was lack of acceptance among the population or lack of evidence things were actually improving.

    Israel has a extremely high vaccination rate and a bunch of people is getting their 3rd dose.

    That is two extremes right there that can be used for analysis.

    Then you have countries such as Italy or Spain which set severe lockdowns (no people allowed in the streets) which you can compare to places which enforced less severe lockdowns or no lockdowns at all.

    That is another two extremes you can use for analysis.

    The only problem with the plan is that some of the official numbers are rigged. For example, it is said that Spain reported less COVID deaths and cases than we actually got during the first year, to the point a number of international agents declared openly that our statistics were not worth the paper they were written on.

    restraunt ee a movie etc.. I will boycott all those things.


    The problem comes when they declare that you need a COVID passport for applying for a job or things like that. At that point you are fucked up unless you comply, there is massive civil disobedience, or migrate out of the country.

    Luckily I live in a red state, we don't even have mask mandates other than at hospitals and Dr. Offices.

    that has happened where they wont let you in if you dont have a mask, or have jacked up mask rules.

    they make snarky signs and say things like 'if you don't like this, we don't want you as a customer'

    people stop going there and the businesses shut down.

    Kind of the opposite happened here in my city with a restaurant. There was a list of restaurants floating around on Facebook that were not checking for vaccination status as required by the Province.

    Staff of one of them grew concerned and quite a few of them quit, causing the establishment to close down temporarily. They then because subject to a Ministry of Labour investigation and now that restaurant is up for sale:

    Most likely, it was done that way to prevent mass panic. If you are a conspiracy theorist you could also formulate the hypothesis that the government also wanted to make it look like they were more efficient than they actually were.

    I personally think our government here acted like a beheaded chicken, running up and down at random without a clear plan.

    Yes, sometimes I feel it more than others.

    I used to get the flu shot every year. Some years it was nothing. Other year
    I would get "sick" for a bit (for me, that's just low energy for about 6 hours).I would guess it depends on the strain of the flu that year.

    Same here. Sometimes it was nothing, sometimes just wanted to take a nap. Never lasted into the next day.

    Uhmmm no, they would have been incentivised to fudge deaths like they did here in the USA as reported on the CDC website,

    CDC numbers reveal hospital counted over 130k deaths from pneumonia, influenza, heart attack, as covid-19.

    Over 84% of all Covid-19 deaths are in Democratic states, according to the CDC.

    Hospital systems are accused of counting patients who died from serious pre-existing conditions as Covid-19 deaths in order to receive more money from the government for Covid-related deaths.

    The CDC updated their death counts to reveal that Covid-19 is rarely the actual cause of Covid-19 deaths.

    According to the CDC, 87,000 patients died from bacterial pneumonia and influenza. Another 17,000 died from chronic respiratory diseases, and another 26,000 died from adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by bacteria.

    Additionally, 44,000 patients died from hypertension not related to Covid. Yet those patients were also counted among Covid deaths.

    You add money to the narrative and all the dirtbags come out of the woodwork like cockroaches.

I show my vaccine passport at the movies and restaraunts. No big deal. Most of this conversation seems to be a deep south / "muh freedums" thing from my perspective.

    in most cases covid has little or no symptoms. they say the shot makes it so i
    s not so bad. it's already not so bad.

    I know people who have had little or no symptoms, but knew they were sick.
    I have also known several people who have wound up in hospital, with three eventually dying from it. I know there are people who die "with" it that
    had other conditions that were going to kill them soon anyway. Of the 3 I know who died "from" it, one had smoked all their life so you could debate that one. Another was nearing 80 years old and may have had other conditions. The third one had not been ill, did not smoke, was in their very early 60's, and was put into the hospital because they caught COVID. They never came out of hospital.

    One that didn't die was also in hospital over two weeks and was also in
    good health before catching it. They are < 55... my age... and also didn't smoke or have other underlying health conditions that have been identified
    as causing it to be worse. I suspect they got an extra strong exposure to
    it. That happened before Delta and before there was a shot.

    CDC numbers reveal hospital counted over 130k deaths from pneumonia, influenza

    To be fair, COVID can cause pneumonia. I don't think it can cause the flu, though, so I am not saying they didn't do it (pretty sure they did!), just
    that pneumonia is a valid side-affect.

    Hospital systems are accused of counting patients who died from serious pre-existing conditions as Covid-19 deaths in order to receive more money from

    Right. People need to be reminded that all kinds of people die

    While we may not understand the long term impacts of COVID yet, we do know plenty about it and we can combat it effectively. But the Leftie Elites and their Propaganda Ministry are blocking that information and blocking doctors

    i dont think there's anything we can do to combat it. we cant control people. we cant stop them from traveling.

    One that didn't die was also in hospital over two weeks
    and was also in good health before catching it. They are
    < 55... my age... and also didn't smoke or have other
    underlying health conditions that have been identified as
    causing it to be worse. I suspect they got an extra
    strong exposure to it. That happened before Delta and
    before there was a shot.

    Right. People need to be reminded that all kinds of people die
    from the regular flu every year too. It is propaganda for the
    media to spin the tale that with covid you will surely die.

    That is half of it. The other half is that even if you do have the shot
    you had better be careful.

    The presentation would have been more effective if it sited origins of their "official numbers" For example, the narrator says.. "now, let's look at the official numbers.." but we aren't told or shown know where he gets those numbers. There's lots of screen realestate to provide citations.

    Prepare for a surge in hospitalizations then. Data from Isreal is
    showing that 96% of the COVID hospitalizations are from the "vaccinated".

    Guess we will have to wait and see. So far, so good.

    For the record, I have always strongly been opposed to shutting down the economy. If masks and passes are the security blankets that enable people to earn a living and feed their families then so be it.

    As for the culutural difference between the US and the rest of the world, I don't deny that it exists. I happen to love America but it is a shame that I am not allowed to spend my money across the border because I don't have the right mixture of vaccines. A lot of border towns are suffering without the cross border commerce and the decisions made by your president.

    I wonder why it is that it seems to be only the data from Israel showing so many vaccinated people with covid? People with the covid vaccines aren't getting covid as much elsewhere, or other countries aren't doing studies showing vaccinated people in the hospital with covid?

    Israel's vaccination uptake was quick, and apparently the protection the vaccination offers is significantly reduced after about 9 months. hence the talk about boosters.

    Having the shot is part of the solution. Diet, age and physical condition
    also play into whether you catch something.

    The variant also changes your chances. I can't recall the exact number, but Pfizer's shots were hgihly effective against the early strains, but is only like 19% with the Delta variant. Delta isn't any worse in effect, but it's
    way easier to catch.

    We already know that hospitals are getting paid more for COVID patients. I will guess that they have had threats made about their gov't funding being pulled if they do certain things (like prescribe Ivermectin).

    We already know that they aren't updating VAERS.

    And if the hospitals did report any data, they'd be reporting it to a partisan political agency like the CDC - who will just make the data go away (or bury it deep).

    Add to that the Propaganda Ministry (i.e. The Media) will not report on any such data either.

    There should be no "compromise" on that. Passes are simply a smaller
    step toward removal of all freedoms.

    I doubt that passes could be introduced unto a population
    that has a 50% vaccination rate. I don't think there would be an army large enough to enforce that either.

    The way Ghandi put it: "... because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot
    control 350,000 Indians if those Indians refuse to cooperate."

    We will just have to wait for COVID to burn out on its own until a
    true cure is found or people and the media just get bored with it.

    The Elite are trying to their hardest to prevent COVID from burning
    itself out. The not-vaccines are reducing immunity - not granting it.
    A cure will never be found since COVID is in the same class as the
    common flu - which has no cure.

    But if the Media get tired of it, maybe they will stop lying about
    things like Ivermectin and are effective in fighting COVID.

    But no. This whole scamdemic was about seizing power - and COVID was
    just the excuse.

    As everyone else has said, seasonal influenza kills many thousands per year too and will continue to for any forseeable future.

    But not last year. The common flu was eradicated due to fradulent
    reporting of deaths. And it will probably be gone again this year too.

    The only difference this year will be the children dying from the
    not-vaccine instead of the flu.

    Ahhh... A Leftie Strawman argument.

    For those of you who don't see is:
    1. The not-vaccine isn't being pushed on infants yet. Therefore there
    are no "infant mortality caused by the vaccines".
    2. His statement is used to divert attention away from the healthy teens
    who have died shortly after getting the not-vaccine.

    People die every day. People die from the seasonal flu, people die from slipping in the bathtub. People die from lightning strikes. It's all about statistics and managing manageable risks.

    I am a capitalist conservative, make no mistake. FWIW, I could care less if the last remainder of the population gets vaccinated or not. At this point, you are up against the people who have determined for whatever reason that
    they will not be vaccinated. There are people who are convinced that Elvis

    By who? I could say it's proven to be true, Dosen't mean it's true but if I say it enough many people will believe it.

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse
    -reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting

    The reactions and side effects are shown too. Read the official report and decide
    yourself. There are risks and side effects, as there are with any medication.

    Their conclusion is that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risk.

    You can always follow DJT and Melania, both vaccinated as well.

    Something I am already hearing in the place I work in is that vaccines make sense
    above 52 years old, are debatable bellow that and bellow 20 years old they may even be
    counter productive.

    The problem with statistics about adverse effects is that it is oftentimes difficult
    to make the association. For example, we had a 30-something years old guy with a
    history of being healthy, who developped partial bodily paralysis within 10 days of
    taking the vaccine. Now, some vaccine hesitant may come up and say "See, the vaccine
    did it!", wereas some vaccine proponent may say that correlation does not imply causation.

    But that's why most vaccines have a long trial period. Emergency use is only for the people who are very vulunerable - and would almost certainly die from the disease anyway.

    But for COVID, with a 99%+ survival rate, such emergency use makes no sense.

    And, of course, that assumes that the COVID "vaccine" is actually a vaccine - which it's not.

    rights conflict with the party that pays its bills (United Left) whereas Working Comissions will
    defend your rights until they conflict with the party that pays their bills (the Socialist Party).

    Meaningfully sized unions are becoming a shadow branch of the government, or at least a tool for
    some govnerment members, so if you want Unions to defend your rights against governments, you are
    up to disappointment.

    Not really. Vaccination is a selfish act.

    You vaccinate because you want to be immune yourself. I had never, until 2021, heard anybody say "I
    am getting vaccinated so I don't pass the disease to somebody else."

    Humans are selfish bastards. A random human does not give a damn if another random human gets
    cancer and dies. He may say he does, but he doesn't. There is something in economics called
    "revelation of priorities" which basically means that people may say beautiful things such as that
    human life is priceless, but when they start expending their money in Bourbon and hookers instead
    of lifesaving investments for starving nations they are demonstrating they are full of it.

    The idea that people takes a vaccine for protecting others is a propagandistic stunt in my book.
    Specially since vaccinated people can still be carriers and spreaders even if the vaccine works as
    advertised.

    Correct. But that has nothing to do with COVID since the thing that they are pushing as a "vaccine" is not a vaccine.

    Science has known for a long time now that natural immunity is the best (despite what the Propaganda Ministry spouts today). A vaccine is a way for someone to "get" the disease, but not die from it. The end result was natural immunity.

    A person with immunity basically kills the virus immediately. So they don't get sick and they don't spread it (since they never reach that stage).

    The COVID not-vaccine doesn't
    1. Grant immunity - so you still get sick.
    2. Since you still get sick, you spread it.

    The COVID "vaccine" is yet another example of where the Left changes the definition of word to match their Narrative, banking on the reputation of the word to make people accept what they tell you. In the process, they make the term meaningless.

    Not consistent does add to the lack of trust. But, to me, the lack of consistency is just a red flag and the question of "Why the inconsistency?" must be asked.

    In the case of COVID, it seems that the Propaganda Ministry sets the tone that the "experts" just go with. That tells me that the "experts" are incompetent, political shills.

    Real experts, when they get new data, would realize that they need to change their stand, but would recognize their "inconsistency", admit it, and give reasons for their change. Compare to the COVID "experts" that would change their stand every week and deny that they said something different yesterday.

    The question no one seems to be asking is:

    Or for my state:

    The naturalist argument is old already.

    Cancer is a natural thing that happens naturally, but I don't know many people who wants to get it.

    In the case RNA, we are talking about codified instructions for your body to produce a toxic agent which is linked to bad health effects in high doses (because it is one fo the things COVID-19 uses to kill people, actually). These instructions are as natural as a message written on the sand. The medium for the message may be natural, but the message is not. Specially since what it does is to impersonate your natural body reactions.

    The bottom line is the naturalist argument sucks, but if you are going to use it, use it for things that are nanutal and not manufactured :-)

    We have a preponderence of medical and scientific evidence that's been evaluated
    by those in charge and translated into action based on medical consens recommendations.


    we have lies, contradictions and politics and propaganda. that has no pla in a pandemic.

    Follow the money trail, Pfizer has been heavily advertizing their vaccines, who besides Fauci is getting Pfizer money? maybe in the form of campaign cotributions to Congress and senate people? or maybe Govenor races?
    Maybe to FJB? They're making a buttload of money off their vaccine, and now the bosster shots, the shots for kids 5-12 years of age.

    Nope. I've been following the viewpoints expressed by both sides, & only one has been offering cogently expressed science as their basis.

    The concern I now have is why isn't Norway's example being trumpeted by the m,edia? (Norway has zxero covid measures inm place -- no masks, no distancing, no passports, no bans on gatherings -- yet averaged 1 case/day in the past week!)

    It's a single datum, not a proof of anything, but it does lead me to ask questions. . . as it should anyone, especially our "free press"

    I'm complying with measures because I'm seeking employment & don't want to impede this search in any way. & if it makes people feel safer when I'm wearing a mask, it's asmall thing to do that makes the day better for some, so why wouldn't I?

    which, as I said, occurs naturally in the bodyu, & RNA strands likewise exis in our bodies, nasturally.


    The naturalist argument is old already.

    Cancer is a natural thing that happens naturally, but I don't know many people who wants to get it.

    In the case RNA, we are talking about codified instructions for your body to produce a toxic agent which is linked to bad health effects in high doses (because it is one fo the things COVID-19 uses to kill people, actually). These instructions are as natural as a message written on the sand. The medium for the message may be natural, but the message is not. Specially since what it does is to impersonate your natural body reactions.

    The bottom line is the naturalist argument sucks, but if you are going to use it, use it for things that are nanutal and not manufactured :-)

    Bottom line is it works & it gets our natural defenses to work better & faster on this particular virus. The RNA isn't the killer or manufacturer, it's just a genetuic carrier found in all cells, including white blood cells, so the white blod cells will do the job they're supposed to do, but now covid seems like some thing we've experienced before (instead of being a novel virus)

    It is natural in that it just speeds up the natural & allows us to beat the virus without actually getting infected first. The results speak for themselves.

    There are enough ways to defend the effectiveness of the vaccine without using a dishonest naturalist argument.

    An artificial instruction carried by RNA prepared in a laboratory, which causes your organism to produce a toxic agent so your own body can develop antibodies against the toxic agent your own organism is producing is not natural and is not speeding any natural process.

    The honest argument would be "This thing is more synthetic than the burgers they serve at fast food restaurants, but as long as it generates antibodies, who fucking cares?" which takes the discussion back to how effective the procedure is for generating antibodies and at which cost (which is precisely where the discussion belongs).

    so my coworker is double vaccinated and wears a mask.
    how did he get sick from covid if he's 96% protected?

    Easy, 96% is not 100%.


    so he had a shot at willing the lottery but got covid instead when he was vaccinated? and a lot of other people that were vaccinated got it too?
    how lucky of them!

    makes sense to you, i guess.

    Yup, look at the numbers.
    A) What % of non-vaccinated people get covid?
    B) What % of vaccinated people do?

    A should be higher than B. If not, & you have objective evidence of such, please let me know, because I'll be not happy with our science, medicine, & political leaders.

    I'm 95% immune, which is far more than I was without it.

    95% immune? how do you know that? that's what they told you?

    It's standard for this type of vaccine.
    95% of population 95% immune = herd immunity & 10% immunity for all, on average (cf. Polio)


    OH, we've had this type of vaccine before? and it's like the polio vaccine?

    yeah ok

    I was using polio as an example of how/when vaccines work even if n ot 100% effective.

    We started developing & testing an anti-covid RNA-based vaccine after the 2003 SARS epidemic. (it's a coronavirus, too; same family even; covid-19's full official name makes reference to "SARS2")

    What exactly are you calling "a naturalist argument"?

    Let's take person A & person B.

    Person A gets the Pfizer vaccine, & his(or her) body produces antibodies that attack & kill the covid virus should it enter his/her body. (the instructions led to quick production of the right antibodies)

    Person B takes an already-rejected vaccine conssting of a microscopic de- activated sample of the virus being injected into him/her. When covid19 enters the body, the body's defenses analyze this new virus & experiment with ways to kill it (at the microscopic level; eventually, we hope, the body finds a way to kill the covid virus; if not, the amnount injected is too small & inert to infect the person, but whebn an actu8al bit of virus enters, the body uses the instructions it now knows, to create antibodies.

    The scientists who've been working on killing the SARS family of coronavirii since 2003, have concluded, through reproducible peer-challenged, data that the RNA-based vaccine works best.

    This is all we have, so I'm going with it. YMMV, & you are allowed to make your own choices.

    but, for real, masks don't protect you from disease, they protect others when you're sick.

    "Wearing a mask protects the wearer, and not just other people, from the coronavirus"

    though made with the protection of others in mind. Thanks for the link -- good stuff, with lots of cited data.

    Sorry, moving off topic for a moment since thing brings up an interesting question.

    No matter where you are, if a space rock were to hit you, you'd be dead. That's just physics. F=MA. Can't push on a rope. (See, I do remember some of my college physics.)

    Now, the statistical question is: Would the odds of getting hit be higher if you always stayed in one place? Or if you were in more places?

    To put it back on topic:
    The odds of me getting sick enough from COVID to seek hospitalization is greater than the odds of me dying in a car accident on the way to my doctor's office to get the not-vaccine.

    And the odds of me getting sick enough from COVID to seek hospitalization is greater than the odds of getting a horrible side-effect from the not-vaccine.

    So, for me, the smart bet is to not get the vax.

    I followed the math you presented above, & it looks like the points are very much in favour of you getting the vaccine.

    Not really.

    We have never asked patients to certify they have been vaccinated against anything in particular in order to receive treatment. In fact my clinic has treated people who suffered ailments which usually put people at the same level of leppers of old (such as AIDS) and it was never a big fuss. Hospitals we associate with follow the same policies.

    Dealing with people who carries or may carry some fucked up disease is literally what the business is about.

    During the initial outbreaks there were controls in place to detect COVID carriers, so patients who needed surgeries or certain sorts of treatment were tested for the virus, which during the early stages of the pandemic was understandable. This costed both hospitals and insurance companies a lot of money and, worst yet, a lot of delays when treating people.

    Nowadays, patients who need invasive treatment are tested for COVID regardless of their vaccination status because their official possition is that the only thing that proves somebody is not a carrier is a virus test. This is causing the phone dudes to get lots of complaints from patients ("Whay am I required to undergo a test if I already have been vaccinated!?") but fact remains vaccination status is NOT a criteria used to allow or deny service to sick people.

    The naturalist argument (or rather, falacy) is that something is good or better because it is natural, as opposed to something designed in some sinister underground facility.

    The argument is dishonest when you use it with something that is not natural to begin with. Actually, I consider it dishonest in most circumpstances. "Hemlock is natural, so it is good. Go drink some more, " or "Cholesterol is usually found in the human body naturally, so it is ok to take cholesterol pills." Don't laught too hard because a lot of people takes pills with saturated fats in them because THEY ARE NATURAL \o/ \o/

    which, as I said, occurs naturally in the bodyu, & RNA strands likewis exis in our bodies, nasturally.


    The naturalist argument is old already.

    Cancer is a natural thing that happens naturally, but I don't know many people who wants to get it.

    In the case RNA, we are talking about codified instructions for your body produce a toxic agent which is linked to bad health effects in high doses (because it is one fo the things COVID-19 uses to kill people, actually). These instructions are as natural as a message written on the sand. The medium for the message may be natural, but the message is not. Specially since what it does is to impersonate your natural body reactions.

    The bottom line is the naturalist argument sucks, but if you are going to use it, use it for things that are nanutal and not manufactured :-)

    What exactly are you calling "a naturalist argument"?

    Let's take person A & person B.

    Person A gets the Pfizer vaccine, & his(or her) body produces antibodies tha attack & kill the covid virus should it enter his/her body. (the instruction led to quick production of the right antibodies)

    Person B takes an already-rejected vaccine conssting of a microscopic de- activated sample of the virus being injected into him/her. When covid19 ent the body, the body's defenses analyze this new virus & experiment with ways kill it (at the microscopic level; eventually, we hope, the body finds a way kill the covid virus; if not, the amnount injected is too small & inert to infect the person, but whebn an actu8al bit of virus enters, the body uses t instructions it now knows, to create antibodies.

    The scientists who've been working on killing the SARS family of coronavirii since 2003, have concluded, through reproducible peer-challenged, data that RNA-based vaccine works best.

    This is all we have, so I'm going with it. YMMV, & you are allowed to make y own choices.


    I am not arguing that mRNA vaccines fail to produce antibodies.

    You have implied, quite strongly, that mRNA vaccines are natural and therefore good, and I have a _strong_ disagreement with that logic.

    It is also coming to a point in which a lot of people is not going to be allowed to make their own choices anyway, which sucks. Not many years ago, during the HVP vaccination campaign in Spain (which was voluntary) there was a group of people who took care of explaining what the vaccines had in them and what they protected against, how well it did, what the side effects were and which preventive meassures you could use to prevent/mitigate HVP if you decided not to take the vaccine anyway. What we have today is organitations and governments forcing people to partake in the campaigns or lose their jobs and starve - effectively a "comply or die" meassure.


    This is what I find concerning, much more than the actual effectiveness or jabs, holystic medicine or chamanistic rituals.

    I can stay inside 95% of the t8ime, & there'd be 95% less chance of being struck by a space rock big enough to kill me.

    Sorry, moving off topic for a moment since thing brings up an interesting question.

    No matter where you are, if a space rock were to hit you, you'd be dead. That's just physics. F=MA. Can't push on a rope. (See, I do remember s of my college physics.)

    Now, the statistical question is: Would the odds of getting hit be higher you always stayed in one place? Or if you were in more places?

    To put it back on topic:
    The odds of me getting sick enough from COVID to seek hospitalization is greater than the odds of me dying in a car accident on the way to my doctor's office to get the not-vaccine.

    And the odds of me getting sick enough from COVID to seek hospitalization greater than the odds of getting a horrible side-effect from the not-vaccine.

    So, for me, the smart bet is to not get the vax.

    I followed the math you presented above, & it looks like the points are very much in favour of you getting the vaccine.


    As far as I have heard, whether it is worth it or not is very age dependent.

    As far as I have been told, and excluding special conditions, the risk derived from an infection for somebody bellow 52 years old is, in engineering terms, negligible.

    Meanwhile I am hearing of enough isolated incidents around here that suggest side effects are not negligibl¤e. The plural of anecdote is not data, and a
    lot of the anecdotes I am hearing about have not been officially correlated (ie. healthy 30-something years old person develops neurological damage from clot about 10 days since taking a jab). Some people who got the virus and later got the jabs have reported that they felt worst from the jab effects than from the virus. So while the actual damage from side effects is hard to quantify, if I were a gambler, I would place my money in the "Global damage from side effects is low but not insignificant" field.

    The risk of something really bad happening from a covid infection skyrockets with age, and projections are that any given individual has a 90% probability of getting the virus in 5 years, so old enough people will be statistically better off using the jab - despite the fact that, in my opinion, its effectiveness is being overhyped, and jabs have no capability of ending the pandemic.

    Now, a 17 years old is probably much better off skipping it entirely unless there are other risks factors going on.

    Johnson & Johnson: 72 percent overall efficacy and 86 percent efficacy against severe illness.

    Actually, you didn't "follow the math".

    1. The COVID "vaccine" is not a vaccine. It does not provide immunity and when it was originally produced, didn't promise to. All it does is reduce the symptoms should you get COVID.
    2. I am not in a high risk group: I'm not over 80. I do not have health issues.

    The odds of me dying from COVID is less than 1% (based on my state's number's it's less than 0.07% - and that's using the inflated death numbers they tout).

    So, following the numbers, it makes no sense for me to get the not-vax. Actually, it makes no sense for the VAST MAJORITY of people to get the not-vax, since, at best, it does nothing, and at worst, kills people - especially the young.

    But Lefties like you like to say they "follow the math" (a variation of "follow the science"), but in reality only follow the propaganda put our by your masters.

    Saturated fatty acids are stable, most "vegetable" oils are far more
    harmful given storage/use risks. This is especially true of oils
    manipulated to remain solid at higher temperatures (trans fats and
    similar). Regarding fish oil pills, which are more common, I'm not sure there's much harm. I'm not familiar with any wide movement to consume saturated fats in pill form. The fad seems to be more MCT intake, but
    that is more for energy than nutrition.

    That also doesn't account for fats being necessary for many vitamin and nutrients to be properly absorbed, broken down and/or converted. Animal (including fat) sources being the most well-absorbed form for the body
    to be able to utilize.

    Most of the suggestions on limited dietary fat and cholesterol have been quietly removed from ADA/AHA suggestions 2011-2017, and LCHF diets are
    now part of ADA approved options. Any correlation between dietary
    cholesterol and heart disease has been disproved more than once by high quality controlled study even, not epidemiology. Beyond this, there is
    more strong epidemiological evidence that saturated fat intake has lower
    all cause mortality.

    In the reverse, nearly every long term study shows that cholesterol
    medication (statins) increase risk of all cause mortality, and this is
    much more pronounced in women, who show no causal benefit to
    artificially reducing cholesterol.

    Cholesterol isn't the problem, not even in larger quantities. All
    recent evidence points to inflammatory response being the larger
    indicator of risk of mortality from heart disease. The ratio of Tg/HDL
    is a much better marker. LDL/HDL numbers only show mobilization, which
    in and of itself isn't harmful.

    The most problematic foods for people are excess refined foods,
    especially "vegetable" (seed) oils, modern wheat and sugars. Most
    people will have some negative responses to many foods, and most that
    are metabolically ill should consider how they react to the FODMAP
    and/or Histamine Intolerance foods.

    Aside: there is some truth to toxins carried in fat, and in the past 150
    years the average person has gone from roughly 2% linoleic acid to
    roughly 25%, mostly from increased vegetable oils.

    If they call for martial law then all rights & freedoms are suspended & you asre under the direct authority of the CinC's orders, as percolated through generals, etc., to whichever order of rank is in charge of your area.

    I'm fine with negotiatonm regarding exemption standards, but I don'y see a propblem with requiring being full vaccinated to participate in certain group activities, especially those identified previously as potential super spreader events.

    We've done this here in BC. As of Nov 1, all government employees not fully vaccinated were fired; this included, without prejudice, many medical staff.

    I have my passport on my phone to show anywhere who requires it to enter.

    I have the scanner app on my hone, so I can verify people's vaccination status if they're joining a group evcent I'm hosting.

    Privacy is protected, as it only gives their name & vaccinaton status. They waive their privacy protection for those two data, by requesting entry to an event with scanning in place.

    I'm a big advocate for personal rights & freedoms, but I feel the government has done well & reasonably in this law. Majority rules & human lives are of more importance than unlimited access to businesses with table service that serve alcohol.



    FTR, I'm excluded from the proposed mandate for medical exemption, and
    would also be exempted as a "no contact" wfh worker. Everyone else in
    my household is fully vaccinated, and if I weren't at increased risk of
    the vax itself, would likely have taken it. That said, I'm very much against this "vaccine" being forced on the general population.

    that's a delusion they are feeding you. people were getting infected and people were dying.

    the recovery rate is 97% to 99.75%

    look at how many people die of heart disease in your area.
    it's more than covid. and it doesnt end, either.

The fully vaccinated are spreading COVID as they present their "passports" at sporting events, bars and restaurants while the media and politicians down-play the breakthrough cases.

    In the provinces that are free with their COVID stats (mine, NS, isn't) the daily percent of new cases that are the fully vaccinated has risen from the mid 30's to the low to mid 40's. This is rising at a rate many times faster than the rate at which the general population's vaccination status is rising.

    Yesterday in BC for example, the province's press release shows 42% of new cases for late November were the fully vaccinated and 34% of hospitalizations were the fully vaccinated.

    I've been watching these figures from ON, BC and QC and they have been rising quite quickly. The vaccine passports are a political tool. Not a public safety tool.

    https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2021HLTH0075-002290

    Here is the latest daily update for ON where you can see (you'll have to do the simple math) that the fully vaccinated make up 43% of the new cases.

    Most people recover from covid, there are thereputics such as monoclonal antibody treatment's that are helping even the elderly to recover usually within 24-48 hours.
    suicide's are much higher due to shutdowns.
    Shutdowns only prolong the enevitable of getting covid, it does not stop anyone from getting it.

    My positionwith this issue is the same as with some issue that popped up some years
    ago with my friends.

    A gal wanted to go to a party, but it was known some troublemakers were going to show
    up at the party. Somebody asked me to accompany her for protection just in case some
    problem arose. My answer was: "If you need a bodyguard for walking into a party, you
    should not go to the party at all."

    Well, if some party is so dangerous that you cannot walk in without surrendering your
    rights to the surveillance machine, then that party is not worth walking in, for
    exactly the same reasons.

    It also applies to jobs, relationships, and many other dayto-day situations.

    yeah, you're right. and a lot of the people i have known for over 20 years and love think that we should all just be locked away so there's no more deaths.
    we dont have the money to do that.

    i lost my mother to covid and i never got to say goodbye. my phone was off because it was the first day of my vacation and i wanted to sleep. she died in one day on her birthday the next day.

    people really don't think clearly and they want a simple answer and solution. that's why they said wear masks. and then they said get the vaccine and it will all be over.

    they should be saying 'be healthy', 'be clean'. don't get in groups of 600,000 people for a parade when your basketball team wins.


    i dont think these people who want the vaccine are stupid, but i do not like them forcing their beliefs on me. i got delta months ago and it wasnt that bad. the psychological part was the worst. i also had memory or concentration problems but those went away.

    everybody needs to be more accepting of other people. stop saying follow the science and other bullshit. we have no fucking clue about science. if we did we'd never have viruses and they certainly would not take us by surprise like this.

    with vaccinations and this passport shit we have another issue. these people are free to do whatever they want. BUT... they still get covid and spread it. the first week you have no symptoms. that's when you are most contagious.

    what we should do is weekly testing. it's so easy now and you can find out in 15 mins. i did it once and then i went to the free wallgreens one. there's one where you find out in a day and a test where you find out within the day. it's free in the usa.

    these people have a false sense of security with the vaccine and it's getting their friends and their family sick.

    I'm not okay with it... COVID is now an endemic disease... it isn't
    going away, and no vaccine will eliminate it from society at this point.

    Every mandated vaccine in the US to this point has, to my knowledge,
    provided immunity, not "protection" (for a limited time). Even the Flu
    shot is once a year... they're pushing for "boosters" after 6 months, regardless of efficacy against new strains.

    It's time to use a little common sense... if it's bad, and you're
    concerned wear a mask.. if you own a business, feel free to require one
    for your staff and customers. Socially distance. It's not that hard.
    But it should emphatically *NOT* be the government mandating this.

    Notwithstanding that the Govt paid for the research and production, but
    the related patents and trade secrets are not shared with other nations.
    If the goal was actually irradiation, patents would be withheld and
    the "recipe" shared with africa and south american countries among
    others, and the push would be for global vaccination. Sharing the drug
    would do far more than any requirement domestically.

    That's because they aren't vaccinated. The COVID "vaccine" isn't a vaccine. It's a theraputic. It does not prevent you from getting COVID and it doesn't prevent you from spreading it. That's why "vaccine mandates" and such are not based on any scientific evidence and are 100% political.

    COVID "cases" is a propaganda number. Cases aren't infections or hospitalizations and the test that they use has a very high false positive rate. Any entity using "case" numbers to justify anything is not being honest.

    Nope. The Fed gov has purchased more vaccine doses than the entire population many times over. But rapid testing kits were never a big priority.

    your govt should make testing available to anybody, anywhere, anytime. there's no excuse not to.

    Indeed. But testing over vaccinations isn't the message here. The message here is that this is a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and if those dirty anti-vaxxers would just get "jabbed" then we could end this thing. As you said in a previous reply, it is political. The Fed gov and all the provincial governments are just doing what they think the public wants. And the public is misled by the media (and politicians). This seems to span both sides of the political spectrum here too.

    you're twisting things. you dont just want masks [which don't really work], you want to take away everyone's rights and label it as having respect or being an adult.

    Saying masks don't do anything is like vaccine proponents saying they work 100% of the time. Masks aren't 100% effective either, but they are effective when someone is carrying Covid and wears a mask, and are peak effective when both parties are wearing one. I'm not calling for government mandated masks, but it's definitely just a respectful thing to do at very least. The "you can wear a mask if you want to, I should be free not to" argument is just an example of how sad some of this stuff has become. If someone has covid, and you don't but are wearing a mask, yeah, you have a decent chance of catching it. Especially the extremely contagious variants.

    This is a "Elites who want to rule the world vs. everyone else" issue.

    So you will see people from all parts of the political spectrum in on this. But they all share a common attitude: they know what's best for everyone and they are just going to force it on us.

    Welcome to the world of mutation. A vaccine only has a certain lifespan according to which strains it is effective on. Each year when flu season begins, the shot you are getting is not for the same strain you had last
    year. They look at what is the most spread varaint in China, then base the shot for the rest of the world on that strain. I can see the same happening
    in our near future. This week I contracted Omicron, and I had the Pfizer vax back in February. There are 50 different mutations between that and what the Pfizer shot was made for. Scientists are going to have to play a game of catch up or chase after the ball before they have something that will
    recognize more strains or is overly selective.

    yeah this guy on fb told me i wasnt an adult because i didnt get the vaccine. since the vaccines came out they have said they get the vaccine to protect other people and it's selfish to not get it.

    meanwhile they have been acting like they are invincible after getting the vaccine and spreading it all over while i social distance, wear a mask and wear gloves.

    Indeed. But testing over vaccinations isn't the message here. The message here
    s that this is a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and if those dirty anti-vaxxer
    would just get "jabbed" then we could end this thing. As you said in a previou
    reply, it is political. The Fed gov and all the provincial governments are jus
    doing what they think the public wants. And the public is misled by the media nd politicians). This seems to span both sides of the political spectrum here
    oo.

    Those numbers you posted the other day prove it is not just a pandemic of
    the unvaccinated. My understanding is that, in at least Toronto and
    possibly all of Ontario, you have to have some sort of "vax passport" to
    dine out and go other places. So it sounds like the vaxed can segregate themselves from the unvaxed, yet the numbers for the vaxed are still going
    up.

    Yes, the unvaxed are still in the majority when it comes to getting sick,
    but they are no longer in the "vast majority" in at least BC and Ontario.

    The variants are WAY ahead! I only heard "Delta.. Delta..
    Delta.." all the time for a long time on the news. Then
    suddenly its Omicron. That last time I checked my Greek
    alphabet, Omicron is about 10 letters distant (8 letters if you
    discount Nu and Xi which were skipped because they were hard to
    handle for some sensitive people)

    So.. there have been many other variants already. Meanwhile,
    the current jabs only target the original which has already
    mutated into something else many times over.

    However, now I am noticing that the media is spinning the tale
    that the original jabs are some miracle immune system boosters
    to make you healthier - despite only being effective for a
    virus that has long since mutated into something else.

    That's right. I've been following ON's numbers daily for a couple months and the fully vaccinated's percent of cases is rising steadily, far outpacing the rate at which the province's overall vaccination status is changing.

    NACI announced yesterday that they are mulling over whether or not to change the definition of "fully vaccinated" to include the 3rd shot. It's only a matter of time before one province does that and then others follow.

    Some have called this the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" but it really is the "pandemic of moving goal posts".

    There's not a single study I'm aware of that has a zero percent on it. I'm involved in a covid study. I get that people are upset that it was oversold as a magical barrier, but if you have covid and wear a mask, it helps spread to a significant degree. Mask type, how it's worn, how long the exposure it, etc all make it so certain pundits can spin it as "they just don't work." If you are wearing a mask and someone with Covid coughs near you, I wouldn't feel confident. I get that, but it's also most important that they were wearing the mask during the cough.

    Well that's good for you, but to put your situation ahead of others is wrong. Just because you and your kids are fine doesn't mean a whole host of other people aren't. And while you are correct that masks provide "some" protection, it isn't much in reality (statistically) and the benefits of wearing them don't come close to out-weighing the negatives.

Mask type, how it's worn, how long the exposure it, etc all make it so certain pundits can spin it as "they just don't work." If you are wearing a mask and someone with Covid coughs near you, I wouldn't feel confident. I get that, but it's also most important that they were wearing the mask during the cough.

    ---TLM

    take it from someone that got covid while wearing a mask.

    masks dont fucking work.

    Well that's good for you, but to put your situation ahead of others is wrong. Just because you and your kids are fine doesn't
    mean
    a whole host of other people aren't. And while you are correct that masks provide "some" protection, it isn't much in reality
    (statistically) and the benefits of wearing them don't come close to out-weighing the negatives.

    Not even close.

    There are certainly some negatives, but if everyone could kind of get together and stop making up their own freedumb issues,
    perhaps we could get out of this a whole lot sooner.

    On the issue of masks one can find a study on either side of the issue. The only common denominator among most of them is that they provide practically no protection to the wearer and marginal prevention preventing spread. I'm glad you found studies to confirm your bias. But it isn't the definitive proof you believe it to be. The facts are cloth and paper masks don't have the fit or filtering specs to be effective.

    There are certainly some negatives, but if everyone could kind of get together and stop making up their own freedumb issues,
    perhaps we could get out of this a whole lot sooner.

    You may not value freedom, personal choice or individual rights, but others do. The only way we will get out of this is by letting COVID run rampant through the younger and healthy population while the elderly, immuno-compromised and those with co-morbidities are protected with vaccines, testing of those who care for them etc.

    Besides, those that need worry about getting COVID and suffering serious illness or death are surely vaccinated by now. If you are healthy and vaccinated (or just young and healthy) who cares if you get COVID? Seriously. COVID isn't a serious issue for the vast majority of the under 40 crowd nor is it serious for most 40+ who are vaccinated and healthy.

    Time to move on and treat it endemically like the seasonal flu. Florida had some rough patches but today they are in a better position than most if not all states, with one of the lowest case rates per capita and millions with natural immunity. Not to mention a governor who apparently doesn't think freedom is dumb.

    There's a lady who walks down my street every day wearing a mask. I live in a village of 3000 people and the time of day she walks she surely never passes anyone else. She's suffering from Stockholm syndrome or just enjoys signalling her virtue. That's mask wearers in general. No, not those working around elderly or the sick etc, but out and about in the world doing your day to day business? Take the mask off. Enjoy the protection of your vaccine. Even if you catch COVID while double or triple vaxxed (a likely thing) you'll be greatly protected against serious illness.

    Saying masks don't do anything is like vaccine proponents saying they work 100% of the time. Masks aren't 100% effective either, but they
    are effective when someone is carrying Covid and wears a mask, and are peak effective when both parties are wearing one.

    Propaganda. The reality is more complex.

    The home made cloth masks are 100% ineffective. They won't even keep dust out.

    Sugrical masks are 90% ineffective. They are designed to keep the doctor's spit our of your wound. If you were infected and if you NEEDED to be out in public, then wearing one for that short period of time will help.

    N-95 masks are effective. But that effectiveness comes at an oxygen reduction.
    But Democrats like that since brain damaged people tend to vote Democrat.

    But all of this is moot for a disease that most of the population has already had and has a 99% recovery rate.

    I'm not calling for
    government mandated masks, but it's definitely just a respectful thing
    to do at very least.

    Ahh.. Another Leftie tactic: We can't make you do it, but you should do so to be "respectful".

    IHMO: Any one who wears a mask today is no different from someone wearing a Bill Engvall "I'm Stupid" sign. But knowing who the morons are is very helpful, so there is some benefit to masking.

    If someone has covid, and you don't but are wearing
    a mask, yeah, you have a decent chance of catching it. Especially the extremely contagious variants.

    You forgot to note that those "extremely contageous variants" are also far less likely to make you sick.

    Are you getting paid by someone to push this Propaganda?

    The fact that you phrase the situation as such tells one everything the need to know about your stance. The health issue is too hard for you, so you're on the turnaround train of trying to make some bizarro argument to fit your narrative.

    that were isolated because they housed covid patients. My chances of getting sick were greater back then.

    Concealing a katana under a trench coat sounds awesome, but kind of impractical.

    Also I don't get the fascination westerns have with katanas. Some katanas were really nice and durable,
    but Europeans had quite cool weapons and martial arts to be proud off. Something to be said of katanas is
    that they seem to survive the passage of time much better than, say, viking swords (just check the state
    of ones and the others in museums). Still, I'd rather promote a nice sword made of Toledan Steel.

    The biggest knife I can comfortably conceal under light clothing is a 18-or-so inches Bowie knife.
    Something bigger than that may still be concealable, but at that point you are going to end up sore of
    carrying whatever that is for more than 5 minutes :-) Besides, when the blade is big, it is harder to
    pull out during an emergency - from concealed carry, that's it.

    I had one of my mares entangle her neck with rope, and let me tell you, a medium-sized knife you can pull
    out easily and without thinking much about it beats a massive blade that you need to struggle against to
    pull out. I think the half heartbet it took me to get to my blade must have been the worst half second in
    my life.

    It may have not been omicron. It may be normal covid. Wehn I felt sick, I looked up the symptoms, and omicrons were more closer to what I was feeling compared to what my co-workers have told me they experienced (headache was a big difference).

    Either way, I didn't expect the vaccine to be a one-apply wonder. Before

    I am not that familiar with eastern blades. My understanding is that katanas have been designed as optimized cutters but not necessarily as optimized weapons.

    What I mean with this is that katanas are very good at chopping heads, but people who is more familiar than me has mentioned that they are not that good at enduring abuse.

    What I have heard is that Samurai didn't favor the Katana that much. They trained in spears and bows mainly.

    Bows and spears are ranged weapons. The modern analog would be mortars and artillery. The horseman has a height and speed advantage and can make
    slashing runs at ground troops.

    A samurai would be cross trained in several techniques. They might start on a
    horse and fight until the horse is killed beneath them, then fight at "bad breath distance" along with everyone else. Not only would they have to carry
    a full sized katana for combat, but also a smaller sword that's easier to
    wear and handle within the confines of a hallway or narrow alley.

    I assume your question is in reference to "the kids don't need it"? COVID rarely makes kids seriously ill let alone puts them in hospital, ICU or death. Obviously some kids are at risk and their parents should protect them. But teachers have the vaccines available so they aren't at risk from infected kids (risk of serious illness).

    There are exceptions to everything of course, but the "greater good" here is kids growing up free of face masks. It is the others that need to sacrifice (get vaccinated, wear masks etc) for them.

    The problem is, kids are just as good at spreading it as anyone else. In order for the 'greater good' to take effect, which yes, everyone would like to have this thing under control, is for humans to stop spreading it. Adults haven't been doing a good enough job, believing whatever they'd like to believe, and the pandemic has been worse than it's needed to be.

    just to prevent kids from catching covid.

    Wearing masks in school day in and day out for two years is damaging to kids psyche. The adults around them at school can get vaccinated if they are concerned (it is mandatory for them to be in my province anyway). In fact the province planned to end mandatory mask wearing in the various places it is required (including schools) on Sept 15th. But when that day came they said not enough of the population was fully vaccinated (was 75% at the time). Then they said they would eliminate the mask mandates late October. That date came and went and the mask mandates are still here. The province is 82% fully vaccinated. But it is never good enough. The kids are suffering despite the odd parent saying "my kid is fine". Well good for them, the rest aren't and the adults should be shouldering the burdern, not the kids.

    There are exceptions to everything of course, but the "greater good"
    here is kid s growing up free of face masks. It is the others that need
    to sacrifice (get va ccinated, wear masks etc) for them.

    Where I live, they don't make the kids mask. The teachers do. They make the kids sanitize/wash hands constantly. They extended the gap between lunch periods so the whole cafeteria gets a scrubdown between lunch groups. At my daughter's school, they even isolated things for recess so that one side is
    for X grades and the other for Y grades, so they can limit contamination [as such, it's just 5th and 6th together for her].

    I think it is more pragmatic. Kids, especially young ones, fiddle with their masks. They always touch their face and eyes, which makes it pointless to protect themselves and of limited use protecting others. The psychological aspect, I think, is the third order of consideration here. I mean, if they
    were close to 100% effective, we could talk, but they are not. That being
    said they help, but in cases of kids, especially the same group of kids who
    are stuck in the same room for longer periods, it is not practical defense to subject them to it.

    If we go out to the store, the 11-year old gets her mask if she is along. If the 5 year-old, not always, since she constantly fusses with it... I rather
    not take her along, or just deal. The only time both wore masks consistently was visiting their month in the hospital [not for Covid] a few weeks back,
    and even then, they were allow to take off in the hospital room.

    That being said, if there is social spread in the community, all adults can wear masks indoors. It's not that big of a deal and it effects the R value in the population significantly, and kids and some people with respiratory
    issues can't. Honestly, since 2020, my family has gotten sick (colds, flu)
    much less, which is notable with two school-age kids. Probably because
    everyone is washing and not-infrequently masking indoors.

    Kids spreading it isn't a problem. The vaccines to a good job of preventing serious illness. Adults who are concerned can get vaccinated.

    As for spread itself, the vaccines cannot stop that. They don't prevent spread in the first place. They reduce it somewhat but that reduction greatly wanes over time. The head of the AstraZeneca team at Oxford stated such months ago.

    Until it's really under control (and that's not for you or me to

    Well that is easy for you to say. But others take issue. As a parent I have watched these "public health" policies harm my child's mental health.

    Time for society to be adults and do what is right for the children. In the past parents shielded kids from the trouble and strife of the world. Today we are not only exposing them to it, we are making them part of it. I find it quite shameful.

    what we should have done, (and biden's red head idiot discredited) is have testing weekly. that is how we could have found out who has it and get it under control.

    that would have cost around 5 billion. not like the tens of trillions we are throwing down the bottom less pit.

    regarding masks, I am getting sick wearing a mask when i didn't get sick when i didnt wear a mask! i get a cold all the time now. maybe it's because I've been staying inside away from the sun. or stress from this bullshit?

    We have a winner! Nobody is willing to address what the magic line is between "Everybody panic, live in a dystopian hell, and torment large sections of the population" and "Meh, regular flu season." Accepting for argument that covid is worse than the regular flu, in whichever metric you choose, where's the line.

    It's the moving goalposts that have really shown that that the politicians and the so-called "scientists" ("I AM THE SCIENCE!" Really, what is that? A real scientist would never say something like that.) are really interested in control and power.

    Depression at having to wear a mask day in and day out. Never seeing
    anyone's face.

    It's one thing for an adult to throw one on when they go to the grocery store or whatever, but kids aren't adults. They have a tough enough time as
    it is with their personality devlopment/social skills etc. The masks hurt that development. Think of all the little ones who aren't learning social
    cues from facial expressions.

    At the end of the day there is no adult at school that needs to be protected from the kids by the kids wearing masks. Kids themselves aren't at risk from COVID. The statistics in both the US and Canada bear that out quite distinctly.

    Assuming masks are effective,
    Invalid assumption.

    Right. The science says they're effective. No assumption required.

    Since COVID has a 99%+ recovery rate, I have to ask what's the difference between COVID and normal cold-and-flu season?

    Stop, really, just stop.

    "Not dead" doesn't mean "recovered". A huge percentage are requiring ongoing support. Not sure how well that plays out in the 'pay for each second of your health care' states. It's not at all depressing to have all of your life savings destroyed by the flu, is it?

    masks haven't been proven to stop the spread of covid.

    The Covid shots haven't stoped the vaccinated from spreading covid either.

    I don't think anyone ever said masks were supposed to totally stop the spread of covid. They're just supposed to help slow it down (and whether or not they have been effective at that seems to be debatable).

    The covid shots don't seem to be a true vaccine, but something more like the flu shot where they're supposed to help protect you but won't totally prevent you from getting covid.

    As for spread itself, the vaccines cannot stop that. They don't
    prevent spread in the first place.

    Sorry, that really seems to be misinformation. Recent articles (end of October) is places like New Scientist appear to cover this pretty well.

    Interesting.. The mainstream media initially made it sound like the covid shots were vaccines that would prevent you from getting & spreading covid, but later the media said they don't totally prevent getting & spreading covid. There were numbers mentioned in the media about the covid shots' efficacy, and none were 100%.

    There is apparently not any known mental health issues such as depression or anxienty due to the mask wearing in children. Where could that be coming from?

    I'm not an expert, but I could see getting depressed at least a bit from not being able to see peoples' full faces and not being able to read their full facial expressions.

    The problem is, kids are just as good at spreading it as anyone else. In order

    Children are usually BETTER at spreading things than anyone else because
    they are usually more likely to forget to do things like wash their hands
    or social distance when they are ill.

    There is apparently not any known mental health issues such as depression or anxienty due to the mask wearing in children. Where could that be coming fro


    Some years ago I watched a documentary that talked about the problems kid may face in school if they cannot form proper facial expressions (for example, due to disease). If a kid smiles at other kid but the other kid does not smile because he is unable to, the social contact is immediately broken. A kid who cannot show facial expresions properly is going to have a very hard time socializing.

    I don't think the mask itself is such a big deal for kids, though. Kids do all sort of abusive shit towards other kids every day which is much worse than being forced to wear a mask 6 hours per day, and only a small percentage of them come out broken.

    On the other hand, the Pediatric Asociation from Navarra issued some report according to which kids are not the dangerous vector of Doom and Death they are being cranked up to be by the media. I think they issued such report because people was being scared to death. "Oh, no, little Paco is gonna infect the grandpa and the grandma and the auntie and get us all killed!!!!"

    Leadership that changes discourse mid-crisis is highly unsettling. At best it comes to show leaders don't have a clue - and if they don't have a clue, why should they be respected?

    I remember when Spanish authorities told us that, according to existing
    models, a 70% vaccination rate would put an end to the pandemic. Soon enough we got well above such vaccination percentage and this affirmation has not materialized.

    Examples like that one pile up. It does not foster confidence. At some point somebody is bound to do a very scientific thing and asks questions about why the criteria about what is safe and what isn't keeps changing. It would not be bad if it was one or two or three things, since most people understands stances change as available data improves, but after some point it becomes clear the government is flying by the seat of its pants.

    Yesterday I heard the boss talking to another doctor about an antibody therapy which some lab is getting prepared to market as a vaccine. I think the idea is they give you monoclonal antibodies with the shot.

    The problem (if this is true) is that it sounds a lot like selling aspirin and telling the population it is a med capable of preventing headaches. Aspirins are mostly fine and will help with headaches, but taking one today won't save you from tomorrow's headache.

    This is a problem I have. It is like the middle ages, in which some miracle worker would arrive to a village which had a problem and sell them some miracleous remedy for a quick buck, then disappear. I have the feeling that a whole industry of modern day miracle workers is building up around COVID prevention, packaging solutions in marketeable formats, up to the point it is hard to discern what is legit and what is a scam.

    And I say this as some guy who made some quick buck selling masks, respirators and hydroalcoholics during the start of the crisis.

If you have it, it usually exits your body on fluid droplets. Those get caught by the mask. If the virus is just hanging around in the air, a mask isn't going to stop you from inhaling it.

    Anything spreading it is a problem. This is what the pandemic's all
    about.

    Well that depends. For the original before the vaccines and extensive knowledge we have now, yes. For the delta post vaccines, not for the 30's and under crowd and most healthy 40s+. The very elderly and those with co-morbidities yes. Now with the Omicron it is looking like no. In fact one could argue (and some are) that it is desirable for the Omicron to spread as it is less severe than the delta and original virus but will impart immunity.

    Sorry, that really seems to be misinformation. Recent articles (end of October) is places like New Scientist appear to cover this pretty well.

    Hardly. It has been well known that the vaccines lose their efficacy to prevent infection and transmission over time. Significantly so too. Looking at Israel, Iceland and the UK it could be as low as down to 30% efficacy six months after one's second shot. Pfizer and Moderna also released their own studies on this. Pfizer said its shot loses 6% efficacy every two months after the second shot (real world data shows it is worse).

    Ontario releases daily updates on new cases and the percent that are fully vaccinated and unvaccinated (as does many jurisdictions). I've been reading that data (globalnews.ca) daily for 3 months now and the percentage of daily new cases that are among the fully vaccinated is rising fast. Over the past 5 days the fully vaccinated now make up the majority (51% to 55%) of new cases. This is happening at a much greater rate than the percentage of Ontario's population that is fully vaccinated is increasing. Thereby showing waning efficacy. Why do you think there is all this talk of third shot boosters?

    Is the general feeling in your media or your neck of the woods that vaccines are 100% effective? I'm not sure how anyone could even be led to believe that when booster shots are thing.

    Am I misinterpreting what you're saying?

    There is apparently not any known mental health issues such as depression or anxienty due to the mask wearing in children.
    Where could that be coming from?
    I'm not an expert, but I could see getting depressed at least a bit from not being able to see peoples' full faces and not being
    able to read their full facial expressions.

    This is why we rely on the experts and not on anecdotes.

    Children are usually BETTER at spreading things than anyone else because they are usually more likely to forget to do things like wash their hands
    or social distance when they are ill.

    Ignoring their running nose and wiping it all over the place.... heh.

    Sure, I wouldn't see that as appropriate either. The blame game or ageism or whichever really isn't helpful - there's plenty of people running around claiming the 'natural immunity' anti-vax thing and suggesting we should all catch COVID "for the greater good", death to all the old people be damned.

    *facepalm*
    Because a developing pandemic is going to have it all worked out immediately
    This isn't to say the changing response hasn't been problematic, but let's n go full conspiracy theory here.
    Examples like that one pile up. It does not foster confidence. At some point somebody is bound to do a very scientific thing and
    asks questions about why the criteria about what is safe and what isn't keeps changing. It would not be bad if it was one or two

    Sure, I agree that in so many places the messaging has been problematic. Lack of communication in places has been problematic - here in our 'world class' pandemic response province there's been some pretty great mistrust sown because they just don't give appropriate access to the point where the media is clamouring for some basic level of communication.

    But, while that's going on, that doesn't mean we drop the public health message and just go about our merry way - COVID's still a thing and it works best if we have some kind of empathy for our neighbour and still do our parts to keep the spread down. It's not an easy one, but we still want to get out of this crap as soon as possible.

    In addition to all the other responses to this, how about turning them into mindlessly compliant sheep? Even more so than people
    already are. That's a scary future, to me.

    Now there's a lovely anti-vax trope.

    Are you trying to suggest that having kids wear masks (or follow other public health orders trying to manage a pandemic) says something about whether or not the children are being given the skills to assess their sources of information, take in appropriate information, and make informed choices?

    Most people forget, the masks are to stop things from coming out of your mouth. The virus itself can technically get through the mask. If you have it, it usually exits your body on fluid droplets. Those get caught by the mask. If the virus is just hanging around in the air, a mask isn't going to stop you from inhaling it.

    well i got covid from someone wearing a mask, while i was wearing

    There is apparently not any known mental health issues such as depression anxienty due to the mask wearing in children. Where could that be coming


    Some years ago I watched a documentary that talked about the problems kid ma face in school if they cannot form proper facial expressions (for example, d to disease). If a kid smiles at other kid but the other kid does not smile because he is unable to, the social contact is immediately broken. A kid who cannot show facial expresions properly is going to have a very hard time socializing.

    I don't think the mask itself is such a big deal for kids, though. Kids do a sort of abusive shit towards other kids every day which is much worse than being forced to wear a mask 6 hours per day, and only a small percentage of them come out broken.

    On the other hand, the Pediatric Asociation from Navarra issued some report according to which kids are not the dangerous vector of Doom and Death they being cranked up to be by the media. I think they issued such report because people was being scared to death. "Oh, no, little Paco is gonna infect the grandpa and the grandma and the auntie and get us all killed!!!!"

    Interesting.. The mainstream media initially made it sound like the
    covid shots were vaccines that would prevent you from getting
    & spreading covid, but later the media said they don't totally prevent
    getting & spreading covid. There were numbers mentioned in the media
    about the covid shots' efficacy, and none were 100%.

    The message we received here from our health authorities never in my recollection overstated the efficacy of the vaccines - they didn't know, and I have yet to see anything from any of the companies involved where they suggested 100% prevention.

    Is the general feeling in your media or your neck of the woods that vaccines are 100% effective? I'm not sure how anyone could even be led to believe that when booster shots are thing.

    Am I misinterpreting what you're saying?

    You might be..? What I was saying was that initially, I thought the media initially was initially making it sound like the covid vaccines were highly effective - It seems many people got the impression that you'd be safe from covid with a vaccine. Then, the media was saying they aren't 100% effective, but still pretty good. In July this year, the governor of my state decided it should be safe for vaccinated people to not wear a mask.
    Then, a couple months later, my state re-instituted a mask mandate for indoors and outdoors.

    I don't think people or the media in my area currently think the vaccines are 100% effective.

    Anything spreading it is a problem. This is what the pandemic's all about.
    Well that depends. For the original before the vaccines and extensive knowledge we have now, yes. For the delta post vaccines,

    I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here. Spreading isn't good, the age isn't really important - people are virus spreaders. (Age is somewhat important for the risks when you are fighting it, sure, but there's no guarantees that a child, a teen or a young adult isn't going to die from it, regardless of pre-existing conditions)


    Sorry, that really seems to be misinformation. Recent articles (end of October) is places like New Scientist appear to
    cover
    this pretty well.
    Hardly. It has been well known that the vaccines lose their efficacy to prevent infection and transmission over time.
    Ontario releases daily updates on new cases and the percent that are fully vaccinated and unvaccinated (as does many
    increasing. Thereby showing waning efficacy. Why do you think there is all this talk of third shot boosters?

    Sure, they do lose efficacy over time, no doubt about that. And yes, Omicron sounds like it's a whole new challenge. I'll be getting my booster when it's available, and of course wearing my mask everywhere applicable to try and ensure I don't pass it on to anyone if I happen to catch it. I don't think any of this points to the vaccines being ineffective - they may well be less effective against new variants, though, which was expected. I'm not sure that this means we should just presume they're no good and give up on them, though.

    Pretty gross, callous and short-sighted.

    Actually when you don't have have a vaccine, or in this case we have "leaky" ones, that is precisely how you get out of a pandemic. Of course you do
    your best to protect the vulnerable. This isn't gross or callous. It is science.

    The Omicron, being highly contagious but with less severe symptoms (if this holds true) could be the very thing to utilize to bring about mass immunity
    and move the pandemic to something less severe and endemic. It is already starting to displace the more severe delta variant.

    to die from it, regardless of pre-existing conditions)

    When you don't have a vaccine that can prevent spread (and we don't) then the only way to end a pandemic is for the virus to spread to the population
    at large. That's it. That is the only way. So knowing it will spread (and it is, 50%+ of all new cases on ON are fully vaccinated and that percent is growing rapidly) we protect the vulnerable. But we don't protect them by restricting everybody nor by masking kids in schools. The vulnerable get the boosters (and however many after that). Those working with them get their shots. But what we are really lacking in Canada is rapid testing. My in-laws are in their 80's. I'd love for the three of us to have a rapid test before we go visit them over the holidays. But it isn't going to happen
    because I can't get one.

    Sure, they do lose efficacy over time, no doubt about that. And yes, Omicron sounds like it's a whole new challenge. I'll be getting my

I'm not sure that this means we should just presume they're no good and give up on them, though.

    They are losing their efficacy far more than you seem willing to admit yet the data us publicly available. As I said before, I have been following ON's daily data via Globalnews.ca and over the past week every daily update over
    50% of new cases are among the fully vaccinated. New cases are increasing too. In my province (NS) there is an outbreak at a university, CBC reported it was all young students who are fully vaccinated.

    Other countries are reporting the booster (Pfizer) is only about 30%
    effective against the Omicron.

    The vaccines are very good at preventing serious illness. But not everybody needs the vaccine. The healthy in their 30's and younger certainly don't need it. Pushing it on people with "passports" and mandates (not talking about healthcare workers) isn't going to end the pandemic.

    Fact is, the vaccines are very leaky .They were kind of leaky with the original and very leaky with the variants.

    In the end this will become endemic and the Pfizers of the world will put out an annual booster for the predicted common variant. Just like the flu shot. And, just like the flu, the vulnerable get the shot and sometimes people who know they are going to be around the vulnerable get it too. But we don't mandate it or restrict access with "passports" nor do we mandate mask wearing.

    Then, a couple months later, my state re-instituted a mask mandate for indoors and outdoors.
    I don't think people or the media in my area currently think the vaccines are 100% effective.

    Fair enough - yes, the wonky response like that ("Let's get back to N0RmAl!"..... "oops!") definitely wears thin very quick.

    Nope. Sorry, but that isn't good enough. As you wokey libs are so fond

    supports your claim if you want anyone to believe it.

    It's not about having a dog in a fight. It's about facts vs bullshit
    and personal opinion. So far you have no facts to your credit.

    How do you ask a chick out on a date if you can't see there face. I have two new doctors. If I ran into them on the street and they didn't have a mask on, I woudn't recognize them.

    at this point my mind just imagines the rest of the face.

    With the chicks you're likely to have a chance at dating, that's likely

    Just like the flu shot. And, just like the flu, the vulnerable get the shot and sometimes people who know they are going to be
    around the vulnerable get it too. But we don't mandate it or restrict access with "passports" nor do we mandate mask wearing.

    And just like the flu shot, everyone 6 monthos of age and older should get it.

    Oh please. Often parents know best and many things don't need "experts" to figure out. There are lots of parents with concerns
    about their children in the pandemic. Even the CBC has published many articles on depression in kids because of COVID.

    Being a parent doesn't give anyone any special abilities, don't fool yourself. Parents are concerned, sure, but that doesn't mean they know jack about handling a pandemic. The CBC publishing articles on depression in kids != publishing articles about mask wearing causing issues in kids.

    When this pandemic is finally over, in the years to follow, there will no doubt be many papers published on the effects it had on kids. This isn't rocket science, it is obvious. And just because you
    and
    Gamgee don't see it down't mean it isn't happening. Like the famous quote about the woman who didn't know anyone who voted for

    It's only 'obvious' to those who are following their own ill-informed versions of information. But you're right, it's not rocket science. We don't listen to rocket scientists about kids depression or about the pandemic.

    It's not that Gamgee or I don't see it - those weird people we call 'experts' don't see it. We have to rely on them, not on your gut.

    Yeah, I remember something about Hobby Lobby now. I agree, during a lockdown people shouldn't be out crowding in stores to buy non-essential items.

    Also, toilet paper was low in stock everywhere, not just Wal Mart. Last year, many stores in my area were low or out of toilet paper. I'm not sure why people were horading so much toilet paper though - Was everyone worried about suddenly getting diarrhea?

    If you've come to the conclusion that your kid's depressed due to wearing a mask, and is being developmentally harmed by doing so, I ask these:

    - How to blind people cope?
    - Doesn't your child get to play outside with other children, maskless, and see their faces?
    - Doesn't your child get to see other people's faces at home?

    It would not surprise me if you could find actual studies that prove your point. It would seem logical to me that young children, who are still in development, would have difficultly deciphering the emotions of others when they cannot see half their faces, especially if the person in question is
    an authority figure like a teacher. I could see this as a source of
    anxiety for them.

    And just like the flu shot, everyone 6 monthos of age and older
    should get it.
    You don't need to take my word for it... That's the recommendation. Your
    Who is making that recommendation? I don't think the covid vaccinations have been approved for children so young. This page
    from
    the CDC lists children 5-11 years old, and that's only for the Pfizer vaccine:

    We're talking the flu shot at this point, not the COVID shot. CDC and Cdn gov't both state 6mos and up.

    I think we all know about antibodies. When someone says they have "natural immunity", I've always thought they mean they've had the virus before and they have antibodies.

    well we use that term but i'm not sure if that's correct. i would think natural immunity would be something in our cell walls that blocks infection.

    Also, toilet paper was low in stock everywhere, not just Wal Mart.
    Last year, many stores in my area were low or out of toilet paper. I'm not sure why people were horading so much toilet paper though - Was everyone worried about suddenly getting diarrhea?

    The Great Toilet Paper Shortage was a ploy to create fear and panic. Nothing more.

    Not many people realize that our supply chains are very lean. For those who don't know what that means, it means that there is no big warehouse someplace filled with TP. It means that the tree is cut down, processed into TP and placed on the shelf to buy. There's no place where any (well, not much) material is warehoused.

    This helps keep costs very low. But if there's an unexpected run on a product, it means that there will be shortages.

    In the case of TP some operatives went in a purchased large amounts at the stores. This created the appearance of a shortage, which caused many others to do the same, creating a real shortage. The illegal shutdown of businesses caused it to be worse because the companies who produced TP now had a large surplus of instutional-packaged TP that they couldn't sell (due to the businesses not buying any because they were shut down). So those the TP manufacturers had to shutdown while they re-tooled and had to get more of their supplies to make consumer-packaged TP.

    who was that guy into population control? oh yeah bill gates.
    who was that guy into the vaccine? oh yeah bill gates

    I never really gave much credibility to the whole "population control" theory. But it seems that there is more and more evidence that the not-vax is at least part of that.

    How is it population control? Do you think someone is purposefully trying to harm people with the covid shots?

    Yes some people are morons and will buy up anything.

    so what would you use it for? i dont get why people want these things.
    you can buy an optiplex on ebay and have something better.

    They may well have, but it seems irrelevant in the US and Canada. Sources: Canadian government & the CDC.


    If the FDA issued a negative declaration regarding something that is being widely used where I live, I would not declare it irrelevant even if the FDA has no authority in Europe.

    Personally, I would put state and county police in charge of determing who gets locked down because they are the ones who will be enforcing it.

    Regarding what is essential, which industries would be most critical tohave running during a pandemic? Stores who stock any form of food or hygiene items would get a pass for sure. A hardware store? That's a gray area. Plexiglass and plastic sheets and bulk cleaners have a use.


    Letting the cops decide who gets locked down seems just like letting people making arrest be the prosecutors themselves. Voltaire just returned from the Afterlife to downvote this post.

    I think hardware stores qualify as essential if just because machinery does not stop needing maintenance just because some lockdown is over. If I need a screwdriver to fix my home heating I'd be pissed off if some politician decided I could not get one.

    Maybe they found different jobs in the meantime. I don't know.

    It's either that or there's a mass global conspiracy to make artificial product shortages. I somehow doubt that though. I doubt so many companies around the world could coordinate that successfully. And it has had an impact on other industries. Aside from creating higher prices through higher demand, I can't really think of a good reason they'd want to create artificial product shortages.

    It was an EMA report from (I think) July 9th in which they recommended myocarditis and pericarditis to be listed as side effects of mRNA vaccines.


    Funny enough, the EMA issued an estatement supporting the vaccination of kids between 5 and 11 last Decembre 15th.

    The EMA has a public site where they list all their reports

    do you really think those slave driving companies that make our
    electronics paid their workers to stay home?

    I didn't say they were paid to stay home (and I'm not sure where you
    got that). For all I know they may have had to stay home unpaid.

    so you really think they would have stayed home unpaid?

    Maybe they found different jobs in the meantime. I don't know.

    maybe monkies flied out their ass.

    the truth is, they stayed and worked.

    It's either that or there's a mass global conspiracy to make artificial product shortages. I somehow doubt that though. I doubt so many companies around the world could coordinate that successfully. And it has had an impact on other industries. Aside from creating higher prices through higher demand, I can't really think of a good reason they'd want to create artificial product shortages.

    do you know what has been happening since covid? the big companies made more money than god. they also bought out their competitors.

    And you would be correct. But you are missing how our supply chains work today and how lean they run.

    It doesn't take a global conspiracy. It just takes a few well-placed "COVID restrictions" to mess things up.

    Take milk as an example.
    We think that the major consumer of milk are the grocery stores. Wrong.
    The major consumers are companies that make milk products.
    And the customers of those companies are primarily instutitions (hospitals, restaurants, schools, etc.) impacted by the illegal shutdowns.

    So the company that makes cheese, for example, gets 80% of its orders cancelled.
    It has no way to warehouse its product due to the lean supply chain, so it shuts down for a bit.
    Since it's shut down, it doesn't buy milk.
    The farmers have to milk the cows every day regardless of whether or not they sell any. And they have no place to warehouse the milk. So it gets dumped.

    End result: low amounts of milk products on the shelves of the stores because the companies that produce it are only running their plants a day or 2 a week.

    And that's not counting the restrictions placed on truckers who transport the products.

    No global conspiracy. Just one tyrannical elite who shuts everything down.

    i'm with you on this, but your milk industry examples are indicticative of the lies they always spread. just about every 3 or so years they are 'dumping milk' for various reasons. usually these reasons end up being false. the dairy industry has even lost class action lawsuits because of their playing around with prices or other BS.

    The dairy industry was booming during covid. they still are. so are those companies that make cheese cultures and cheese.

    they use this dumping milk ploy all the time. it's good news and it always works. they have so much milk production they can dump it all the time.

    + Pi3 as an MP3 player (built into an old radio case).
    + Pi3 as an MP3 player with a touch screen for controls.
    + Pi4 as a NAS, with a second Pi4 as cold standby.
    + Pi4 as a video player on our main TV.
    + Pi3 as a electronics experiment lab (CrowPi 2).


    oh, i just use 40-80 dollar optiplexes i get on ebay for that.

    i have one running on the tv doing all that media stuff and about 4 in the basement probably gathering mold.

    a Raspberry PI is credit card size, they get used so there is no mold or dust collecting. :)

    Some Alumminum industries are screwed up because of magnesium shortage. I have heard magnesium shortage explained because of energy shortage.

    I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Europe we have a quite fragile power grid. We have invested heavily in the sort of renewable energy that has trouble producing electrical power at the correct frequency and in the correct sync. Since gas has gone so expensive because some African gas inputs have been cut short and the situation with the RUssian gas is not ideal, we have been forced to kick in some legacy power plants which were kept in a sort of dormant state.

    I don't think people is aware of how fragile supply chains are. If you don't have gas then you may not be able to produce glass jars, and if you can't produce glass jars I can't sell you pills which are usually sold in jars. The pill vendor may look for an alternative packaging, but this being Europe he
    may have to fill paperwork in order to comercialize it as a different product (!).

    Nightfox


    The problem with electronic components is they need to be produced in big batches using very precise manufacturing procedures. Under regular circumsptances, microchip plants start producing chips as materials arrive. However, now they are scared that they may start producing a batch, run out of some critical prime matter mid-process, and find they cannot finish the batch.

    I am not an expert in miniaturized electronics manufacturing, but apparently there is a quite high risk that if you don't finish each manufacturing phase quickly the whole batch gets botched. We are talking about millions of dollar here so manufacturers are not willing to take the risk. What they are doing instead is ordering all the materials necessary for the batch to be produced, and they only start making chips once all the prime matter is safe under their control.

    This issue was covered in the book "Petrocal¡psis" (Spanish for Petrocalypse). I have not read it but I have heard this is the way it explains chip shortages.

    The only difference this year will be the children dying from the not-vaccine instead of the flu.

    I understand your positions on the questions of dangers to personal freedom, etc. Unfortunately that ship has sailed many many years ago. One could argue that having a driver license or social security number are already "passes" that enable big government to track you and regulate your life.

    I am not aware of any proven infant mortalities caused by the vaccines currently available. We have a 90% vaccination rate here, so I suppose we should be digging more graves soon?

    I used to do that. They worked great for things like the video player. And I might be able to get the old radio MP3 player working with something like an old Optiplex.

    (Side note: near by my town, there is a company that is officially a scrapper. They sell "scrapped" - i.e. fully depreciated - PCs for real cheap. It's a nice place to pick up old, used hardware for cheap.)

    But the rest are only feasible using a Raspberry Pi.
    The Tandy Portable Disk Drive Pi is smaller than an Altoids tin and that inclues the battery.
    The MP3 player with the touch screen is much smaller than an Optiplex and something much larger would be cumbersome.
    My whole NAS setup - 2 Pis, 4 hard drives - is smaller than 1 Optiplex.

    then you have the government and media covering it up. why is that?

    I have been asking myself that for a while now.

    I think that there are more than a few groups, each with different methods for getting power, who have decide that the COVID scam is the best way for them.

    This makes it hard to identify a single motivation for pushing the not-vax.

    I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Europe we have a quite fragile power grid. We have invested heavily in the sort of renewable energy that has trouble producing electrical power at the correct frequency and in th
    correct sync.

    Whenever renewable energy comes up in another political forum, some will mention the shortcomings while others attempt to shout them down with ".. but in Europe they... " like it is all moonbeams and lollypops over there

    Always nice to get the perspective of someone who actually lives there.


    unfortunately, renewable energy is fucking bullshit. i wish it wasn't, but i is.

    it would be great to have some solar panels on the top of the house and not pay electric.

    The problem is not the push for renewables. The problem is the push for crappy renewables.

    Not long ago I did some numbers because I was considering installing solar. I happen to have a degree of this so I determined the equipment the house needed in accordance to my power consumption of the last two years.

    Then we phoned an installer. The installer didn't let us explain the nature of the equipment we needed and where we wanted. Before showing up and seeing the place, before letting me even explain I had already run the numbers, he told us that we had to sign a contract right away for a 10 panels kit in order to get some government handout.

    And this is the problem. We are not installing what needs to be installed. We are installing cheapo kits without a formal study of what is needed and what isn't, because the business model is to install a McDonalds kit and grab the government handout.

    If I was a farmer grannie instead of a cowboy engineer I would as well have signed for the kit I was being offered because I would have not a clue as to how many panels my farm needs. Then my house would still be running at a > 50% power defficit.

    Then there is the fact that installations which are part of a smart grid get no good bonification from being in one. Power companies buy your surprlus production at 10 times less than they sell it to you in the months when you are under defficit, which means a farm owner has no incentive whatsoever to produce surplus power at all.

    Specifically, the problem with solar is that it has to come out into the grid via inverters, and inverters are notoriously bad at handling reactive power. A bad inverter is ok for Grannie because Grannie is unlikely to have high demmand for reactive power. Now, when you start basing a big percentage of the grid's supply on solar, you'd better ensure the grid can supply reactive power for the factories and trains and whatever have you, and I don't trust cheap domestic and solar harvest's systems to cope with much.

    Wind is not that bad, but it is very situational. At least it is based of inducting a current on a coil via variable magnetic fields, which is much better at absorving demand for reactive power than the bad inverters everybody is deploying nowadays.

    Because he drinks too much bourbon?

    Jokes aside, I have a traditional heating system with a boiler and everything, but I find it convenient to keep it at a lower temperature than I would and just light the fireplace up when I feel like I need it.

    This is also a wood producing village so there are tree leftovers for the grab by the road a big part of the year. I would not be able to heat the house on leftovers alone, but as a supporting heating system it gets the job done.

    If you are gonna go 19th century style and use wood as the only heating source you need to go all in, keep the fireplace going all day, and use it for the cooking :-)

    i have one running on the tv doing all that media stuff and about MR>> 4 in the basement probably gathering mold.

    a Raspberry PI is credit card size, they get used so there is no mold
    or dust collecting. :)

    eh, still not worth it.

    Ok the Raspberry PI isn't for everyone I guess, but I love the two I have.

    ... Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

    We live in a great time regarding our choice of computing options. In the middle of full sized pc's and single board pc's are the mini-ITX systems with angled riser boards and extension ribbons to connect cards without having to deal with the standard board height dictating the height or width of a case. Yesterday I was watching a video where a pfsense box was being built in a 1U rackmount chassis. The hardware used wasn't the highest end, but was new old stock and much more reliable than a desktop that was purchased of a refresh/ life cycle replacement. It offered more functionality than relying on only
    USB port like you would with a stardard non-compute module pi.

    I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Europe we have a qui fragile power grid. We have invested heavily in the sort of renewable ener that has trouble producing electrical power at the correct frequency and i correct sync.

    Whenever renewable energy comes up in another political forum, some will mention the shortcomings while others attempt to shout them down with "... but in Europe they... " like it is all moonbeams and lollypops over there.

    Always nice to get the perspective of someone who actually lives there.

    It is not a wise policy to keep all your eggs in one basket. Coal and gas
    are not going away, but can be made nearly twice as efficient without taking away from the profit margin. Wind and solar are better off as additions to
    the power strategy rather than replacements. We have several smaller hydro plants in my area that were made over 100 years ago, and they are quite
    capable of putting out more power, but are throttled down to regulate the
    lake and river levels. The nail in the coffin for nuclear was when Yucca Mountain was axed. The local nuclear plants had to re-purpose land reserved for newer reactors to be used for onsite cask storage now. Even after the plants are decomissioned, a new home for the spent rods is not guaranteed.

    It's like everyone wants to buy into all or nothing deals without looking at how it impacts people in the worst ways.

    I was looking in solar and wind solutions on my farm, and replacing my roof with panels would allow me to sligthly do better than break even, provided the y last 30 years with minimal maintenance required for the panels and

    yeah but doomer is doing that and spending a lot of money.

    Because he drinks too much bourbon?

    Jokes aside, I have a traditional heating system with a boiler and everythin but I find it convenient to keep it at a lower temperature than I would and just light the fireplace up when I feel like I need it.

    This is also a wood producing village so there are tree leftovers for the gr by the road a big part of the year. I would not be able to heat the house on leftovers alone, but as a supporting heating system it gets the job done.

    If you are gonna go 19th century style and use wood as the only heating sour you need to go all in, keep the fireplace going all day, and use it for the cooking :-)

    I agree regarding size and power consumption.

    Reliability of old hardware does not seem to be an issue here. Swollen capacitors are a problem but I have only suffered fireworks from 15 years old hardware once. I use a lot of 15 years old hardware. A LOT.

    Linux distributions dropping support for 32 bit are just an excuse to migrate those machines to OpenBSD or a distribution that still supports 32 bit. I don't blame mainstream distributions for dropping 32 bitr support but there are just many operating systems and distributions left to use instead.

    With current prices, you can break even with solar quite reliably, IMO.

    The problem with solar nowadays is not the price, because if you can afford it, it is more cost effective than grid supply.

    The problem with solar is the reliability of the power supply you get instead. If you get more cloudy days than your power storage can support, your power goes down. If a single panel in a solar array has an issue, the array goes down. If you attempt to power multiple machines with moving parts at once using a cheap solar kit, you are unlikely to be able to power them on.

    These problems can be solved throwing money at them, but most installers around here seem focused on selling you a cheap solar deployment instead of one that will keep the milking machines running no matter what.

    In the desert they cheat by using actual boilers that move turbines. They use parabolic mirrors to heat water until the steam powers a regular turbine, hence getting quality supply.

    I always think that the problem there has to be moving so much water into the middle of the desert :-)

    Solar for domestic heating is also not so bad, but then we are not talking about photoelectric. I am talking about thermosolar, when you run water
    through pipes that are exposed to the sun. Also, hot water can be accumulated for later much easily than electricity, so you can save hot water up in an isolated tank and use it when you need a hot shower. Its main drawback is
    that the circuit of the thermosolar system needs a whole lot of toxic chemicals in order to be stable and not to crack when it freezes outside.

    Size and form factor are reasons i like using Pi's and other single board pc's. I can stuff several pi's into a gutted mid-tower case and use it a tiny rack space.

    Power (as in kwh) is another plus when switch from using an older box with a 300-550W psu to a less than 15W. I have a few old Optiplexes and Dimensions gave me, but they are older P4 systems that also act as space heaters. A pi or other sbc takes up the space of a pack of cigarettes an are easier to secure to the underside or leg of a desk than a mid tower.

    From a reliabilty perspective I also ponder whether I trust a 10-20 year desktop running 24/7 for some tasks unattended. Some of the pc's I had f the early 2000's suffered from swollen capacitors. Some of the linux dis I use have been moving away from maintaining a 32 bit version, which affe the use of some of my older pc's unless I abandon them at a certain relea level and shut off updates.


    I agree regarding size and power consumption.

    Reliability of old hardware does not seem to be an issue here. Swollen capacitors are a problem but I have only suffered fireworks from 15 years ol hardware once. I use a lot of 15 years old hardware. A LOT.

    Linux distributions dropping support for 32 bit are just an excuse to migrat those machines to OpenBSD or a distribution that still supports 32 bit. I do blame mainstream distributions for dropping 32 bitr support but there are ju many operating systems and distributions left to use instead.

    I was looking in solar and wind solutions on my farm, and replacing my ro with panels would allow me to sligthly do better than break even, provide y last 30 years with minimal maintenance required for the panels and batteries. The price of power will always go up over time, but if it sta the same over 30 years I would probably take a loss relying on solar in s Michigan.


    With current prices, you can break even with solar quite reliably, IMO.

    The problem with solar nowadays is not the price, because if you can afford it is more cost effective than grid supply.

    The problem with solar is the reliability of the power supply you get instea If you get more cloudy days than your power storage can support, your power goes down. If a single panel in a solar array has an issue, the array goes down. If you attempt to power multiple machines with moving parts at once us a cheap solar kit, you are unlikely to be able to power them on.

    These problems can be solved throwing money at them, but most installers aro here seem focused on selling you a cheap solar deployment instead of one tha will keep the milking machines running no matter what.

    If I lived further south, I'd consider it, but where I'm at, the current solar s studies from existing solar users aren't providing the same numbers the salespeople are pitching.

    It is not a wise policy to keep all your eggs in one basket. Coal and gas are not going away, but can be made nearly twice as efficient without taking away from the profit margin. Wind and solar are better off as additions to the power strategy rather than replacements. We have several smaller hydro plants in my area that were made over 100 years ago, and they are quite capable of putting out more power, but are throttled down to regulate the lake and river levels. The nail in the coffin for nuclear was when Yucca Mountain was axed. The local nuclear plants had to re-purpose land reserved for newer reactors to be used for onsite cask storage now. Even after the plants are decomissioned, a new home for the spent rods is not guaranteed.

    It's like everyone wants to buy into all or nothing deals without looking at how it impacts people in the worst ways.

    I don't disagree. Seems like most of the vocal members of the wind and
    solar crowd think that we can use it as a primary source and get rid of
    coal and gas and our other current primary sources. I do not see how that
    is practical at this time (if ever).

    also interesting that they bring up the dairy farmer thing.

    "Milk packaging for homes is different. Retooling to meet a different demand takes time. What could the dairy farmers do with the extra milk? All they could do was dump it since their normal delivery channels had changed. As you know, there is an expiration date for milk."

    they could freeze it. you can freeze milk.

    but they dont need to, because cows make tons of milk.

    I hope you don't wipe your face or hands with that same towel. *that*
    would be gross.

    my butt is totally clean, so whats the difference.

    Who would wipe their ass on a towel then wipe their face or use it after a shower, I'll stick to the TP, bidet sounds like a fecal germ spreader.


    i usually just air dry it.
    when you use a bidet your entire ass isnt soaking in water. nor do you need to dry off.


    my ass is probably cleaner than your face.
    all my past girlfriends would actually comment on how clean i am downstairs, also.

    toilet paper is fucking disgusting.

    I wouldn't wipe my hands/face with the same thing I use to wipe my butt.. I've been curious to try a bidet though. I've been curious if a bidet can clean faster and better than using toilet paper.

    How do you know your butt is totally clean? Do you use soap on your butt? If your bidet is just rinsing your butt with water and no soap, then I don't think I'd consider it totally clean..

    Same, if I dried my butt with a towel that towel gets washed, would the bidet be warm or cold water I wonder?

    yeah you might get your butt dirty from your face germs.

    yes, a bidet gets you cleaner, faster. there's no doubt about that.
    once you get one you wont want to use a regular toilet and toilet paper.

    How do you know your butt is totally clean? Do you use soap on your

    butt?
    If your bidet is just rinsing your butt with water and no soap, then I don't think I'd consider it totally clean..

    soap just helps things get cleaner by helping dirt slide off.

    i can powerwash my car with water and get it clean. with a bidet you are power washing your ass.

    how do i know my butt is totally clean? because there's no shit on it.
    and i don't smell like shit. you dont really get clean enough with toilet paper. all you are doing is wiping it around until there's a minimal amount detectable by you.


    if you guys want pics or videos i can open an only fans.

    okay, keep having a dirty poopy ass!

    they had a tv show that tested this, and for some people, their face was dirtier than their ass.

    and yes i have got compliments on my cleanliness.

    I don't know why you guys keep focusing on using a towel.

    you dont really NEED to dry. it's not like there's a firehose blasting at your entire ass and you are soaked.

    you stand up and your butt is pretty much dry in seconds.

    never use those things and flush them down the toilet.
    they all can cause some type of problem.

    and they dont beat having your ass powerwashed.

    Personally, I'm having a hard time figuring out how I'd get clean *without* a power wash / firehose blasting crap everywhere. The only bidet I've ever seen in use had a fairly slow flow, like a drinking fountain.

    maybe that's an older one or they didn't install it properly.
    it's a pretty strong blast.

    i recommend getting one. you will atleast cut down on the toilet paper.

    I almost said "like a water fountain", but since a bidet basically *is* a fountain of water I didn't want my meaning confused :).

    hey, you never know. some people never got it during the toilet training.

    i've seen grown men piss on the floors instead of using urinals and i've seen people shit in urinals.

    they have auto flushers because some sick people dont flush their shit down. ---

    you should never use flushable wipes. NONE of them are good for being flushed down drains.
