Most people are not getting vaccinated

April 19th the vaccine was federally available for 16 and up.

And the White House is reporting 63% of adults have at least gotten one vaccinated shot. With 12 states at or above 70%.

In less than 2 months, why the doom and gloom?

The previous administration didn’t even have a distribution plan.

Fake News

Even Left Wing Politifact called BS on that one

The vaccine is pretty much worthless for someone of my age and BMI.

For fats and olds, it makes sense to get the vaccine.

Besides, my body, my choice.

If all the people who actually took the vaccine start dying, we're coming for you.

Be afraid, bitch. Be very afraid.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It is amazing how adamantly you guys believe the vaccine / covid are conspiracies. The Chinese suck, it’s completely plausible one of them tried to fuck a bat and got coughed on

Nah, I've told you from the beginning this is from a lab. HIV-1 spike protein. This is a question of scaled odds: is it more likely that a lab did something which we know labs can do, or that some bat virus exchanged genome EXTREMELY conveniently with a virus bats don't even carry / vanishingly rarely face exposure to?

The natural (gene exchange) explanation has plausibility, but the real scale of its odds are beyond our capacity to calculate. I personally think it's quadrillions of times less likely than the lab-made origin story. It's an extremely unlikely coincidence to find a natural-born animal virus which depends on human immunodeficiency virus proteins to function -- and find it blocks from a major virology lab.

I think people, particularly those who are informed but yet strongly disagree with me, positioned adamantly against the lab theory are being ideological about the meaning of the word "skepticism". Application of Occam's Razor includes a look at odds, and since in this case the odds are obfuscated and highly questionable I would strongly question the judgment of anyone who is not at least ambivalent about the origin of this virus.

And I sincerely hope someone here actually reads my posts because I have been saying this for a year and it is yet another data point indicating that my insights are real. So far as I can tell I am the only individual on this board or the New York Times for that matter fielding unique insights generated by an educated mind and not ripped from the popular culture or its popular (((counterculture))), but nobody bothers reading me. go figger

So Corona came from a lab on accident, probably on the bottom of someone shoe or something. Why? China, known for getting things done cheap, and we outsource so much to China they of course cut corners to save a buck. For instance my company sources surgery kits from China, we opened a plant years ago and that plant had to be sterile. Why? Because the kits are used in surgery and the surgery room is a sterile environment to prevent complications, infections, yada-yada. So fast foward 5 years, the Chinese company we used to supply our surgery kits open more plants to supply more kits as our business grows. Our company goes to inspect the new plants a couple of years ago and the new plants are not sterile environments, they cut corners to save a buck. So 100's of millions of dollars of inventory had to be recalled and destroyed over the entire network of facilities. An not just our company other healthcare companies using the same distributor had to do the same. And of course China has this big deal about honor and all that, so they are especially worried about losing 'honor' or whatever. There is a notion in the Chinese behavioural code called “saving face.”
It means that nobody should ever do something that could cause someone embarrassment. And there is some serious anxiety being developed over this. It can manifest in various ways, but mostly in the form of not saying something, not asking something, not requiring something, or even withholding entire events from people or groups.
From what I understand the lab this supposedly came from should have also had a sterile environment. FYI
