180k cases today. will probably be at double after NYE surge no way another lockdown is not coming q1

:mjlol:

You cats been saying this damn near two years now.

Ain't gonna be no more lock downs. It would be political suicide and in the off chance Biden tries it, no red state would comply anyway, making it pointless.

sorry but your whole argument is about you and what you think or you do or dont want to deal with

kinda selfish -

and because people are being selfish is why we are in the state we are in - you cant say mass vaccination doesnt work because the places where its been done they arent having the problems with people living and moving about in their life previous to the pandemic .....no the answer isnt JUST vaccincation but even the other shyt like refusing wearing masks or people getting together in big groups for holidays and gatherings is also apart of why shyt is as bad as it is

we are because folk insist on either making this about their "freedoms" or they dont like being told they have to do something; wear a mask, stay apart, - get a shot maybe even get another shot

...or they have live in some bizaaro reality where there are plots both politcal and social that only they see....so they refuse to do anything....

but the sad shyt is this has all been done before - everything you are are rationalizing about how there shouldnt be mandates for mass vaccincation or we can just live with it or let nature provide ....is the shyt people said a hundred years ago...and the only way the country got ahold of itself is by mandates and corercing people to do whats neccessary to curtail rampant disease.

so the more times have changed the more people havnt.....
No, I’m not selfish. You don’t know shyt about me. I’m taking precautions necessary to be safe and protect everyone else. I have no issues wearing a mask and most importantly I STAY CLEAN and CONSIDERATE TO THOSE AROUND ME, which is the main thing needed to prevent the spread of sickness. I don’t even like big gatherings.

Like I said, I caught Covid early on, before vaccinations were even considered, and I recovered. I haven’t been sick since. *knock on wood*

Before vacs were even made the media was talking about herd immunity, but now they’re not even talking about it because they wanna force the vac on everyone.

But it’s funny you ignore the fact that the vacs are helping the growth of Covid. The virus is trying to live on by fighting off the vac. Why do you think flu vacs aren’t the same every year? MUTATIONS. A vac helps out, but it’s not the fukkin cure. :beli:

Maybe you’re just shook because you have a weak immune system. It’s understandable.

My family didn't get vaccinated despite me telling them to a gang of times, my pops is immunocompromised and they didn't vaccinate him. :snoop: They were mad at me for doing a drive by dropping off gifts for Christmas n yesterday I get the text from my sister saying she tested positive and everyone else is waiting on their tests but they all have coughs/fever/aches/feel fukked up except for my middle sister that is vaccinated, she has zero symptoms. :francis: Mind you my lungs are wrecked from acute chest syndrome I had a few years ago as a side effect of sickle cell I don't have the luxury of fukking around w my health and these maniacs had the nerve to give me shyt for not staying n eating during thanksgiving/christmas. :beli: I'm hoping for the best for all of them especially my pops but damn man all of this could have easily been avoided :snoop: .


My extended fam were on this bs too idk what it is about our community that got them on this anti vax shyt but it is wild frustrating :snoop:
Man ill keep your family in my thoughts fam, some of my people was on that bs too unfortunately, lost a close cousin over the summer due to it, and his wife was still like well we have antibodies now i dont need the vaccine? Mind you they both was hospitalized unfortunately he didn't make it. shyts sad man o want to literally choke everyone who on the anti vax shyt, cause its mainly our people getting the worst of it.

i really must speaking another language

i never said the vaccine WAS the cure- its preventative like wearing a mask or staying away from people

its selfish to refuse to take preventative measures ....or stupid - take your pick .

the virus isnt fighting anything - the virus strains simply become more popular the more one gets blocked out- its going to continue until either alot of people get vaccinated to slow the development of the spread and possible rise of new strains - but rest assured - Alpha and Delta are still there for you to catch especially if you arent immunized .

this is the whole point with immunization


people refuse to be vaccinated to GET to herd immunity - so vaccinating will only be but so effective if something can be invented to prevent you from getting COVID in the first place that would be great but no one has been successful in that development.

a strong immune system is actually what kills you since your body keeps acting as if there is an infection and its reacts with a fever and your white blood cells attacking your bodies cells to where you either have seizures from your body overheating or a heart attack because your pulse rate is through the roof for days. you drown in your own mucus from the excess fluid that settles in your lungs and causes you to have pneumonia and become even more infected from the waste mucus that is deep in your respitory tract

I’m not even gonna bother going back and forth with you after I called you out on so many things. I shouldn’t even have wasted my time after your first post said the polio vaccine was made in less than 2 years when it took over 2 decades to be dropped. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. :dead:

There won’t be a lockdown.

For that to happen there would need to be a lot of hospitalization and death.

Omicron symptom wise has been mild the vaccinated have pretty much no chance of dying.

This is not a March of 2020 nightmare situation.

no they LOOKED for a cure for 2 decades- they found one in 1952 by 1954 they were immunizing people - thats 70 years ago - before the advent of using computer modeling and even genetic sequenceing .....like they have now

your whole overall point was "its too soon " to have a vaccine- which is stupid - weve had vaccine development within 2 years after a discovery for other viruses SARS and H1N1 -

the issue isnt that you are selfish - its that you cant read

here - Salk discovered the cure for polio in 1952-

by 1954 mass immunization began -...thats TWO years . not a decade testing the same vaccine -

On July 2, 1952, Salk tried a refined vaccine on children who'd already had polio and recovered. After the vaccination, their antibodies increased. He then tried it on volunteers who had not had polio, including himself, his wife, and their children. The volunteers all produced antibodies, and none got sick.

In 1953 Salk reported his findings in The Journal of the American Medical Association. A nationwide testing of the vaccine was launched in April 1954 with the mass inoculation of school children. The results were amazing -- 60-70 percent prevention -- and Salk was praised to the skies. But suddenly, some 200 cases of the disease were caused by the vaccine and 11 people died. All testing was halted. It seemed that people's hopes were dashed until investigators found that the disease-causing vaccine all came from one poorly made batch at one drug company. Higher production standards were adopted and vaccinations resumed, with over 4 million given by August 1955. The impact was dramatic: In 1955 there were 28,985 cases of polio; in 1956, 14,647; in 1957, 5,894. By 1959, 90 other countries used Salk's vaccine.
A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Salk produces polio vaccine

he discovered the vaccine in 1952 , they deployed it en masse by 1954

People really think the vaccine stops you from getting Covid and try to use that as an excuse to not get vaccinated. Making arguments like “why isn’t it protecting people from getting sick then?” The vaccine doesn’t make you impervious and immune to sickness man :dead: it merely makes it so your symptoms are more mild. Antivaxxers are fukking crazy to me :dead:
