I certainly would have died if I was in my 80's and already dying of multiple comorbidities.

What? It's widely known that flu cases dropped to virtually zero during the distancing and masking measures...

Got it. You make the claim that Etsy masks while standing up in the busy restaurants to go to the bathroom and elbow bumps killed the flu. And I need to prove you wrong?

[Matt R.]

It was more the handwashing and distancing and quality masks as we all know. You’re trolling hard these days.

I think the problem is that nothing has proven that any of these tactics (incluing business closures) made a bit of difference to the spread of the virus, or to deaths.

[Matt R.]

Right. We don’t do common sense anymore, I forgot.

Except for the massive BLM protests. There wasn't much distancing there. Nor in the busy restaurants. I barely saw a quality mask. The surgical ones clearly state they do noting right on the package. One man's troll is another's pointing out the obvious. 

 

I am ok with you having your beliefs. Especially now they aren't being forced on me. But I am in constant awareness that they could be. So I choose to counter comment as I see it. You can call it trolling, but it's not. Perhaps it has an edge of clowning but it's clown world.

Handwashing, who knew right?

Handwashing, who knew right?

How do you know there was more handwashing? I do remember the recalls on the sanitizers though. That was harsh.

You guys will never convince each other with that kind of rhetoric.

The evidence you should look for is: whether the diagnostic criteria we used for COVID-19 is/was/could be conflated with flu diagnoses. ie., what were the different ways COVID diagnosed, and is there any evidence that influenza could throw a false positive for COVID…. Now that would be worth looking into.

Back to normal.

I think we are generally agreeable. I’m not worried about Dasmo seeing everything I see, and vice versa. I have no doubt we’ll be laughing over our apple juice at the next VV/Chek 6 meetup.

[dasmo]

I would share a juice with you and most definitely would not talk about Covid, that’s for sure!

I don’t think WE should be paying this. The liability protection should be lifted against the Pharmaceutical companies OR at the very least a percentage of their profits should go to fund these injury claims. Especially when it is such a small dollar amount compared to the insane profits they made….

Why would there need to be a vaccine injury compensation fund if the vaccines are safe and effective?

Surely the government would never coerce (by threatening job loss) its employees and citizens into taking an experimental vaccine that might’ve had life altering side effects. That would be unethical, wouldn’t it? Maybe even violate the Geneva convention, technically?

Our governments will say they will hold the grocery industry accountable, over their 3% margins, and then turn around and use the pharmaceutical companies we blamed for the opiate addiction explosion, to supply 'safe supply' to addicts, with the blessing of the governments.

 

That podcast Watcher board to our attention on safe supply is quite the thing.

I assume all birds will be ordered to wear masks and disclose their medical history before they are allowed to fly.
