Rika has to be an aging boomer. No one else would ever wax nostalgic about that time their dad told them to "stop crying and man up".

My dad was my hero. When I was six my puppy died, and I started to cry... he beat me with a belt and told me not to be such a p***y. Thanks for making me a real man, dad!

I asked Tooth what he was getting out of his showboating. I see no one needs ask you ...

Is rika the guy who blogged abt the idaho life

He's kind of a goat poster in this thread.

It is worse than worthless, what he’s stating about masks is harmful and counter productive. Unfortunately his takes, masks are almost as effective as a vaccine, are commonly held. That message has been promoted by none other than the Biden administration. You have Biden who was vaccinated in December walking around wearing a mask constantly in photo ops. You even had Harris and her husband wearing masks kissing in a photo op while both of them are vaccinated. The message being sent is clear, that vaccine may not work but the masks certainly will.

Yeah he's great. Thanks for the link. This article he wrote on Texas has the jaw-dropping insanity of the left wing media, experts and Democrats on this topic in full display.

If the majority of expert scientists, the entire left wing media, and Democrat policy makers get simple logic like optimal covid reopening strategy or masks so horribly wrong, how do they have the right take on actual complex things, like global warming analysis (far more complex and uncertain), the right way to mitigate, side effects of doing so (all manufacturing merely going to China while their emissions soar from dirty coal, making the issue worse overall than doing nothing), or how to handle China's Nazi-like rise?

It's terrifying how stupid these people are.

Interesting that 8 members of the NY Yankees, who were fully vaccinated, all tested positive. Seems like a statistical anomaly. Could be that since most people don't get tested post-vaccine, that the new variants are more likely to infect vaccinated people than has been reported. But these breakthrough infections cause little to no symptoms in the vast majority of cases.

Could they infect others is the key question. If they aren’t contagious and they are asymptomatic then what is the nature of their infection exactly. Put another way if you can’t spread it and are asymptomatic then are you really infected.

Generally vaccines are supposed to prevent the disease and not necessarily the infection.

Bumping this ownage since it important for people to understand this in the face of misinformation and a childlike misunderstanding that leads one to make such a wrongheaded absolute statement...

Dear worthless loser,
If masks stop 95% of large droplets (as per the CDC study), there are blanket mask mandates, and large droplets matter as you claim, why do the graphs look like this?





You're the dumbest piece of trash that ever posted on 2p2. Just worthless idiot noise. And now you're re-quoting your own idiot noise when people don't respond.

There's a base of hyperventilating clowns out there. They listen to verbally fluent hyperventilating clowns and get whipped up in to a frenzy. It becomes religion. Leftism psychologically aligns closely to a feminine personality which is higher in neuroticism. That of course is related to the world in fact being more dangerous for women. The negative emotion is also useful in protecting infants who are also obviously very vulnerable. There's nothing wrong with this unless you become unbalance/extreme or operate as a basic primate that can't reason with your emotions/bias which we sometimes call thinking.

My dad was too soft.

It was my mom that told me to man up and stop whining.

Rika is God level poster in this thread. Every time he comes by and drops an anecdote about laser tag with his daughter he makes a certain demographic on this forum erupt in rage.

She is obviously hyperventilating to her crowd and she plays it well so she can continue to earn 7 figures in salary.

But there are actual people that think this way.

probably 8

Dear God. That's on mainstream left wing TV, not in an asylum. I wonder how many of her followers believe a mask gives them good protection so they don't need to distance as much (like Cuepee does)? You can easily see how the mask mandate countries got destroyed by covid with such delusion.

Some governments in such countries such as the Czech Republic even publicly acknowledged that non-surgical masks are completely ineffective

Interesting article on the droplet situation:

https://www.wired.com/story/the-teen...ed-covid-kill/

Oh hey wow. Data.

Looks like the type of cherry picked data you can find against Climate Change.


But here let me Google that for you.

peer reviewed research do mask work against covid

10 Citation on page one either reviewing all available peer reviewed material or citing their own material.

EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE, 9 for 9 that I opened and reviewed cited masks do work and all of them cite the droplet reduction.

So yet again an example of Tooth cherry picking one set of data while ignoring the preponderance of data that goes against him.



(inb4 all of those are stupid and/or wrong and only mine is right)

Given that 8 people from the same team are infected, the probability that at least one of them have infected a team mate is >95% I would say. Very likely more than half of them have caught it from a (vaccinated) team mate.

And yet almost the entirety of what Fox News shows on almost all is shows is measurably worse misinformation and lies fed to idiots like you guys who eat it up and repeat it here. I am sure you guys would prefer I don't post it for you and own you on that.


I have a game for you if you want though if you do.

Video for video post off of the nuttiest stuff. You post one and Post one and see who runs out first with the loser taking a month voluntary ban.

Protip - you will lose. The volume from Tucker and Lou Dobbs and Judge G alone would likely be insurmountable by all of left wing media.

Stupid question but if we've vaccinated most of the at risk population then why are 850 people a day still dying? The virus mostly kills the old/sick and they've mostly been vaccinated. The numbers have been in this sub 1k range for the last 6-7 weeks or so, shouldn't they be plummeting further?

Again, I personally believe masks work to varying degrees depending on the mask and I'm sure there are studies that show masks are effective, but a lot of these studies don't show causation.

Obviously if you give a survey to people the ones who wore a mask will have lower rates of infection. That doesn't prove the mask is effective.
