COVID-19 - On the Ground

[randylahey]

Fit athletic healthy people with good nutrition that are in their 20s being forced to vax is senseless. Covid poses no virtually no threat to them who cares if they get it

This description fits my son in law very well. He spent a week in the hospital on oxygen due to covid.

You an mich are two of the biggest selfish aholes ever. You have repeatedly said that everybody dies, this is no biggie. And then you come in with serious long term affects are NBD. Why would anyone listen to what you have to say?

I dont mean to speak for mich but I know we both got vaccinated. I think we both want people to be able to make their own decisions. Thats the opposite of a selfish choice. How exactly are we selfish assholes?

If you had a 1% chance per day of going on a date, you'd date about 3.5 women per year. If you had a 0.01% chance of getting a date per day you'd probably have to wait a century to get that many.

[randylahey]

The difference between 1% and 100% is the same as the difference between 1% and 0.01%.

Saying the vaccines don't make a difference is the same as saying there's no difference between covid and something that was 100% deadly.

If you had a 1% chance of dying every month, there's about a 50% chance you'd be dead in 4 years. If your chances of dying were 0.01% every month, there's a greater than 50% chance you'd live more than 400 years.

Yes everyone understands basic math. But saying vaccines increase your chances of survival by 99 percent isn't accurate. Thats ignoring 99 percent of the data. If you are the 1 percent guaranteed to die, you could say it increases your chances by 99 percent. But your statistic focuses on 1 percent of the picture. Thats silly.

If you want you could accurately say vaccines increase your chance of survival by 99 percent for the most vulnerable 1 percent of people, but doesn't change the survival rate at all for the 99 percent of people who wouldve survived anyways

[randylahey]

So its hard to take your statistics seriously when your statistics focus on only 1 percent of the overall data. I get what you're trying to say but you are twisting it to fit your narrative

[PhDhawk]

You don't understand math.

You ignore data.

You manipulate numbers.

You lie repeatedly.

You're full of shit.

You got emotional about covid19, you were wrong, you can't let it go.

You can play Russian roulette with one bullet in a gun that has 100 chambers or one with 10,000. Which one do you choose?

randy says there's no difference.

[PhDhawk]

Someone offers you one of two lottery tickets for free. Both have a ten million dollar jackpot. On has a one in 100 chance of winning, one has a 1 in 10,000 chance. Which one do you pick?

randy says there's no difference.

[sdoyel]

You have 2 choices: The right choice and the wrong choice.

It’s that simple.

[PhDhawk]

You have 2 choices: The right choice and the wrong choice.

It’s that simple.

Yeah, but randy and Illy both claim to have made the right decision but they just want fight you until they're blue in the face that NO ONE should encourage others to do the right thing.

Not only that, but they need to CONSTANTLY point out the limitations of the vaccine while ignoring ALL the benefits.

Vaccinated people are less likely to spread Covid, new research finds

3.5 women a year?
So you’re sayin there’s a chance.

[pdub]

For me, it’s the continual separation of us as a people. And the on off switch extremes that it’s becoming.

You v me.
Vaxed v un.
Lightfoot v Wilson.

There comes a point where you ideally go, well, this person has different thoughts and opinions than I but they aren’t way way different than we think.

I think you’re making the wrong call, by all scientific standards, if you don’t get vaccinated. To a level, you’re being selfish, but not to the extreme of laughing at the dying or being gleeful when they loose their jobs.

You don’t figure things out with divide or mandates.

[TDub]

The extremes are winning. Division is the ultimate goal of some....who, is to be determined. Divide and conquer. It's working.

[TDub]

The power of controlled news...the power of social media have been more detrimental to society than even the more pessimistic of us thought a decade ago.

[sdoyel]

Disinformation is killing this country. Literally.

[randylahey]

You don't understand math.

You ignore data.

You manipulate numbers.

You lie repeatedly.

You're full of shit.

You got emotional about covid19, you were wrong, you can't let it go.

Give one example of any if these things

[PhDhawk]

I have repeatedly.

[randylahey]

I have repeatedly.

Nope you just make opinionated claims you think back your extremist views. While I have neutral open minded perspectives on different solutions.

We can just agree to disagree. Our argument comes down to sensitivity vs realism. I know you mean well its fine

[PhDhawk]

Factual.
Math.
These things aren't debatable.
You're just wrong.
