"The Unvaccinated Are Looking Smarter Every Week"

[phoenix2020]

1. I was checking Google News, as I do each morning.

2. When I saw this headline in the "Health" section, I was intrigued.

3. It is in the October 16 edition of American Thinker. (I do not know how to link. Sorry!)

4. If you have an open mind on this controversial topic, you may wish to read the article.

5. I commend Google News for publishing it.

a. I am guessing that some people are accusing it of spreading "misinformation."

b. I assume that this article is banned on social media.

6. I was completely vaccinated in August, for I wanted my vaccine passport.

a. I, of course, do not know how accurate the article is.

b. But I do think that saying this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated may need rethinking.

If the unvaccinated are looking smarter every day, and you’re vaccinated, doesn’t that mean you’re looking dumber every day? Just asking.

Thank you for your generosity, but ...


1. I access DP on a regular tabletop computer.

2. I use a flip phone only in emergencies. Otherwise, it is never on.

a. To me (being 84 years old) the only real telephones are LAND lines. (Yes, I realize the phone companies are eager to get rid of land lines.)

3. I barely know what WiFi is. Nor do I care. And that goes for that thing called a SIM card.




Have a nice day!

I only access DP at home on my computer too. I have enough of a bad habit with my computer at home - so I feel it's important to not have a phone habit also. I have an iPhone (a really, really old and out of date one) but, like you, it's for emergencies and typically sits in my car. I'm glad to not be married to my phone and I expect I have better posture because of it
If I go out to lunch or dinner with friends, I'm there to be with them, not with my phone. But, if one glances around a restaurant, phones seem to be the primary companion of most. Same thing at the gym. I typically see more phone breaks than exercise going on.

There has never been a vaccine like this before either. Just saying, don't go by that, it doesn't apply.

The is no reason to believe the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines should result in long term issues. However, if that is your concern, get the J&J.

I would call CNN a garbage site. It's known to lie.

That's fine, but CNN isn't the source for the OP. The American Thinker [sic] is the source, and that article is garbage, which we could have all guessed before we clicked on the link. Maybe I saved a few the trouble. The supposed M.D. cited quacks and garbage sites. Why bother reading after you've learned that?

Maybe, but it sure wasn't the article referred to in the OP.

As to the article itself, once the author showed me he's a hack spreading garbage, first set of three links, all garbage, I no longer care what he says about anything.

over 8,200 more Americans died of COVID in the last 7 days.

when is enough enough?

 

[TheParser]

This isn't making sense.
What do you use to get on debatepolitics.com?
Do you use A a flip phone, or B a smartphone, C a tablet, D a laptop or E a desktop machine?

IN OTHER WORDS, how are you SEEING this right NOW?

The source of that piece is garbage.

Overall, we rate the American Thinker, Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/pseudoscience, use of poor sources, and several failed fact checks.

We agree if you speak of the irrational panic in regards to vaccines and masks.

Everyone else has pretty much made their risk evaluation and has come to the decision that they are willing to live with.
If you still have an irrational fear of contracting COVID, even after vaccination, even after wearing your mask and social distancing, even after all that, I suggest that it's not everyone else, who needs to modify their behavior and coping mechanisms.

If you're using a regular tabletop computer then you won't have ANY trouble figuring out how to send links.

You do not know how computer illiterate I am.

I would need a tutor literally sitting next to me and guiding me.

Risk evaluation = Did their own research

Antivaxxers are selfish children.

And a bunch of them are dying and leaving their children to raise themselves.

Anybody over the age of 65 who isn't vaccinated is an ignorant fool. You're gonna get Delta and it's not gonna go well for you.

Anybody who is younger than 65 but not vaccinated is just stupid. There is no reason to risk getting sick even a little bit. The only way this is gonna go away is if everybody gets the shot. If I was President you wouldn't be able to poke your head outside your home without being vaccinated. I alone could fix this if given the opportunity.

It's very hard to look 'smarter' hooked up to a ventilator.

And of course we all know that every single person who does not get a covid vaccine winds up on a ventilator.

YouTube has thousands of tutorials on the basics, like this one:

How to Copy & Paste a Website URL​

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

No.

I just use a flip phone to make emergency calls.

I am not interested in its other features.

And I was told that I cannot download apps on a flip phone. (Not that I actually know what an "app" is!)

By the way, debatepolitics.com isn't an app anyway, it's just a website.
Far as I know there is no DebatePolitics APP, at least not so far.

when is enough enough?

They would be still alive if they had been vaccinated 6 weeks ago. So sad.

 

[NolanVoyd]

And of course we all know that every single person who does not get a covid vaccine winds up on a ventilator.

Not all people that didn't get the vaccine end up on ventilators.

But over 99% of people on ventilators for covid didn't get the vaccine.

 

[What if...?]

If you are driven to irrational panic, you stay home.

Or maybe it's just not a good idea to be lighting fireworks in the forest in fire season.

Virology 101: Try to limit spread of the virus. Both for individual health and to suppress mutations.

Pretty obvious to anybody who knows anything about virology. And this information has been everywhere for a year and a half now.

Except on trump media. There it's all voodoo and leeches and prayers.

 

[Fledermaus]

And of course we all know that every single person who does not get a covid vaccine winds up on a ventilator.

99% of the hospitalized/dead are unvaccinated.

If you can use your mouse to highlight what's in the address bar of your browser, or just click on it in most cases and it will highlight the address, hit "CTRL C" on your keyboard - that's copy. Then come to DP (open in another tab for almost all of us) and hit CTRL V and that pastes the link right here. The software here handles the rest.

Covid is killing rural Americans at twice the rate of people in urban areas​

​

Sept. 30, 2021


Rural Americans are dying of Covid at more than twice the rate of their urban counterparts — a divide that health experts say is likely to widen as access to medical care shrinks for a population that tends to be older, sicker, heavier, poorer and less vaccinated.

---If we hit ONE MILLION dead, that's one in every 335 people.
I think we just went over 700 thousand dead, yes?
So yeah, that WOULD affect election outcomes drastically.
In fact, losing a million or more changes House elections and not in their favor, because the majority of lost seats would BE IN those rural areas.

Aa the joke goes, "That's easy for you to say."

It's too confusing for me, unless a tutor were at my side.

Thanks a million, though.

Have a nice new work week!

There is no reason not to believe it either. I'm already vaccinated, thank you. I'm not big on shaming people because they have worries about a new vaccine, or just brushing aside their concerns.

It's amusing that when the CDC changed their recommendations and Fauci changed something, it was because "it's a new virus/vaccine" and "we are learning and going where the science takes us", people were fine with that, yet no one seems to stop and think that it could also be the case with long term issues?
