Came across this article today

Some notes:

Oxford backed by google/Alphabet group also. The idea they weren't/aren't planning to profit from vax is a lie.

It's actually quite remarkable that on the same website he's trying to learn how to date, he can go around being condescending to people in general, never mind people celebrating their daughters birthday. Then refer to it as "dunking" while putting his social skills on display getting what a mid life crisis is completely backwards

Interesting incident in Canada. It seems like department store employees engaging in some sort of royal rumble puts their actual beliefs on display. Their actions demonstrate they're not exactly scared of the virus but will maul you in the name of obedience and compliance. Seems familiar

Are you guys loving Dr. Burry's Twitter today or what

In the name of obedience and compliance.

Now I understand how communism and nazism takes over a seemingly semi-intelligent population, vast majority of humans are just brain dead and can't think for themselves.

You can take away all their freedoms and they will abide by it if you create an enemy big enough and you tell them to trust the government. They will also turn on each other if they see someone "breaking" from the newly established norms that everyone else follows. Lemmings.

That is Britain in a nutshell.

That is why I want a civil war here.

It's downright remarkable that you dorks are still talking about me, I'm not sure I've ever struck a nerve quite like this

lol

Really making my point for me here

Not them but how many powerful people want to extend the pandemic so the Fed can keep pumping billions into the stock market?

Someone might even want it badly enough to keep creating new and scarier strains.

printer definitely stays on
if enough people aren't afraid they'll give us something to fear
go bbbbrrrrrrrrr

God bless Texas.

At 100% re-open. Hopefully this puts pressure on the rest of the world to re-open full force.

Weren't you the one saying lock up the olds? They have not all been vaccinated and new more contagious strains are spreading, putting them even more at risk. Now you say forget protecting the old people, open everything and let's pretend it's gone.

All senior home residents have received 1 vaccination shot and 40% of folks over 65 have received 1 shot. Within a few weeks all 65 plus will be vaccinated 1x.

A 3rd vaccine is approved now which will have a supply dump into vaccine availability and increased vaccination rates.

That's good enough to open up.

shup please

the olds the olds

that's the only thing you ever post

you would burn down your own house to kill a few cockroaches

It's a response toward what I said that the right decision to make from last summer onwards was to lock down the olds.


The online world is having a meltdown over this decision right now. I'm pretty sure 99% of those upset over this decision don't even know what the covid death rate is for under 50 year olds.

Well the argument could be made that with only a few weeks until all elderly people have full vaccination, why fully open now with the finish line in sight.

I am not against reopening but with 3 vaccines in distribution, we are almost there.

And we still have to worry about outbreaks among younger people. True most will be fine but if colleges or places.of business such as restaurant workers start having major outbreaks it will derail the recovery before it starts.

New York is doing this dumb thing where retail outlets are only giving vaccines to people over 65 and people otherwise eligible can only get the vaccine from NY State operated locations.

Only NY State locations with appointments available before April 16 are all in upstate New York at least 3 hours away (Albany).

This makes no sense because Walgreens in Manhattan have appointments available for a few weeks so some doses have to be just sitting around.

You are saying this after a full year of covid lol

The damage has already been done and this will be looked back as the worst decisions human ever made

The fear of death lead civilisation down an extremely dark path that we may never recover from

When did prevention of death becoming the single most important principle in society anyways? so bloody weird

That's surprising with the new J&J vaccine being rolled out, I'd think it would be easier to get an appt these days. Some people I know got theirs by checking for openings at odd hours like 2am. You probably know the site but https://nycvaccinelist.com continually checks the major NYC sites for open appointments.

I strongly suspect it's just bureaucratic momentum and lack of bandwidth at Cuomo's administration (he's busy with sexual harassment claims.)

I'll be very worried if the situation persists for another two weeks.

OK so Society is a collection of people under a common form of gov't right?

What beside the below might you add to their organizing "principles" and how would you rank them?

- provide border protections/security from death whether from war or from disease being brought in where collectively possible and means to fight it, once in

- provide common infrastructure that can foster business and community growth

- provide policing and courts to settle disputes

- etc


-----------

I would rank them in that order. Once you can establish and hold a border (which by definition means protecting the lives of those within it) you can then move on to the next 2.

I got my appointment on the NYC site.

The trick is at the point where the site tells you there is no appointment available, refresh the page by clicking on the calendar and selecting a day (can be same day) to refresh availability (don’t refresh page, that forces you to redo the questionnaire leading up to availability)

It took a few tries but I still scored an appointment in about 10 minutes.

The vaccine site wasn’t nearly as crowded as when my wife got it.

The “end” is in sight, at least in NYC, where the “end” is defined as anyone that wants a vaccine will have gotten it. After that I expect things to ramp up to some semblance of normalcy in a few months.

The fact that you think my post is ******ed shows how far we have gone as a society

Prevention of death at the cost of everything else huh? even our humanity?

@cuepee I'm not going to post something that off topic but it's obvious that we as humans have never ever valued life as the #1 principle in any society through out history

prevention of death has never been and should never be the #1 priority of society especially at the cost of things like liberty

Wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands. That's essentially what most were asked to do. Oh and stay home during the worst spikes, although even in NYC I've been enjoying golf, outdoor dining, seeing friends and family, going to parks etc. throughout the entire pandemic.

You may think it's a valid position to just let the virus rip and kill millions more than already died. Some don't. Some see it as a slap in the face to healthcare workers risking their own health trying to save the lives you so casually dismiss.
