Gotta love the ad hominem name calling; clearly well thought logic and reason based discussion.

 

Shanna, they didn’t want the vaccine, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em die.

 

A person with a terminal cancer diagnosis faces a vastly different scenario than COVID-19 with a 99.7 overall survival rate.

 

Hospital bed and ICU bed utilization by COVID patients. Select state, city, radius, whatever you want. This is the HHS.gov website. Facts matter.

The MSM thrives on fear and sensationalism. That maybe we can all agree on. They also know most Americans are too lazy to do their own research and rely on the MSM to spoon feed them in easily digested ADD small bites. So where is the story on these annoying facts? COVID cases and deaths are plummeting. But please don’t believe me. Go to the CDC website and look for yourself. Select the chart for cases by sex and the chart for deaths by sex. Cases are down near baseline.

To be fair, the rates were near baseline a year ago as well. Then they skyrocketed during the winter.

 

Each of the major spikes has been a new variant. There hasn’t been any significant news of another variant that has gained any traction. You only have to look at some of the European countries who are a couple months ahead of us to see the Delta variant has significantly waned. There will likely be localized spikes in some regions of the country but the big news that occurred in the southern states with the Delta variant is over. It has burned through.

 

you guys are all super smart..any of you guys have a clinic to come to...I need my b hole bleached

 

I get all my news from "Drudge" and I have been scared and fearful since the Clinton era.

 

Your are probably right. I might just be pointing out a difference without a distinction. What is current practice for non-COVID vaccines? This clause also states visas. I wasn’t required to get one until I was in a base/seat that had trips that went to China.



We shouldn’t erode freedoms and liberties of the 99.8% for the other 0.2%. Especially when we know that the overwhelming majority of the 0.2% are the very elderly or those with specific comorbidities. We should have put mitigations in place to specifically protect them and let others have the freedoms to chose their motivations depending on their risk aversion.




There may be localized areas where ICU beds become constrained from time to time. It doesn’t make sense for the entire country to go into lockdown because some rural town In Louisiana has a shortage of hospital beds. This is why these sorts of decisions should’ve been left entirely to governors and let the feds deal with developing therapeutics, vaccines and the distribution of them.
