    For those wondering why some people don't get onboard with masks/vax/lockdowns.... it's some of the "information" they read. Tonight I was reading some comments from ONE story on Breitbart (right wing USA web news site).

    You can't make this stuff up:

    • I choose to live with my natural immunity to this sub 1% mortality rate and an unapproved vax that could cause more harm than good. See, I love freedom.

    • The virus has a 5 in 10000 chance of killing you and you can relapse with the vaccine. It's treatable with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. What happened to common sense scared little sheeple?

    • Doctors from around the world are now saying the people that took this experimental vaccine will be dropping dead starting this next flu season.

    • Maybe she should read the article from the E.U. showing nearly 1 million serious side effects and 20 thousand deaths in like 5 months!

    • FREEDOM TO NOT GET THE EXPERIMENT..MOST ANIMALS DIED FROM IT

    • Over the past 2 months at least cases and deaths among vaccinated outpaced those among those smart enough to stay away from the mystery shot. Good luck with your heart inflammation and spike proteins sheeple TWA.

    • Morbidity is higher with the vaxed.

    • It's gene therapy, not a vaccine.

    • The unvaccinated are not dangerous. They have natural antibodies. The vaccinated have graphene oxide in their bodies that suppress natural immunity. The vaccinated also have hiv and aborted fetal cells. When the fall flu season hits then the vaccinated will suffer cytokine storms which will cause strokes, heart failure and many other de adly reactions.
      The cdc, nih, ama, fauchi and gates know these things are true and are using the media, medical community, Hollywood and every means possible to hide the truth. Your only hope is that those medical professionals who have been ostracized will find a remedy to these de adly vaccines.

    • If the vax is so great why are the vaccinated needing hospitalization?

    • Everyone that I personally know that has Covid right now are at home dealing with it and are unvaccinated. The ones I know that are vaccinated had to be admitted to the hospital. My neighbor down the street just got out and she was a vaccinated person. You need to read more and stay away from television! I know quite a few in my church that are home with it and didn't get vaccinated. I haven't taken that shot and haven been are Covid positive people and have yet to get sick. There's just no fixing stupid!

    • Covid has a survival rate of 99.75+% in people under 70. Hardly a "death sentence."

    • No doubt the virus can be deadly. However, a significant portion were those 80+ suffering from serious other conditions including cancer, Alzheimer's, emphysema, heart disease, etc. We upended society to buy those at the end of life perhaps a few more months or a year. Good idea?

    • The only thing that this vaccine does that's a proven fact so far is that it makes big pharma big money.

    • The Government is violating the Nuremberg Code by implementing forced vaccinations.

    • The FDA is supposed to be approving the Pfizer Covid vaccine tomorrow. It has only a 39% efficacy when approved vaccines are supposed to show at least 50%. It also has caused much bodily injury and death. It is unconscionable that they will get away with it.

    • Uh...population control...they think our population is "unsustainable" so they're taking out those who get the vaccine. The unvaccinated will inherit the Earth.

    • had a sister in law ( had is the key word ) and I'm pissed ... healthy as anybody, got that F'n poke 3 weeks ago ... week later in the hospital .. 3 days later in ICU ... 4 days later 8/19 passed away .... Huntsville Alabama ..... any SOB that makes demands for that F'n poke needs to be pushing up daisies .......

    • A neighbor received the vaxxxx….twice…became extremely sick…couldn’t move for a week both times……. I’m beginning to believe that these vaccines…..IS COVID-19(flu) …and those that receive the vax, are the SUPER SPREADERS……

    • Because its about getting the vax passport number . Nothing to do with a virus .

    • One report said 45,000 vaccine deaths. That was someone in the business of compiling medical statistics. It’s being intentionally covered up.

    • Pfizer vaccine destroys T cells, weakens the immune system

    • Ok have we all come to the realization that Covid is nothing but a glorified flu, lockdowns and masks aren't pur strategy come flu season, are they? So why are they in this case?.When are people gonna stop playing along with the "Covid is dangerous" game. SICK TO DEATH OF IT. Newsom was the hysterical spearhead for the lying disinformation about this illness. "Pandemic" does not mean PLAGUE. Plagues are seriously deadly, pandemics are just very contagious. This is no deadly plague. Covid is a lightweight disease, it has a comparable death rate to the cmmon flu and that fact is always obscured if not downright buried. I'm sick of the way too complacent attitude I see in Americans who won't stand up and call out the lies spread about this illness and refuse to be bullied into vaccines or masks. Where is our fighting spirit? Could we even win a WWII anymore? WHERE IS IT?? Too many people are lazy 'go along to get alongs'. Disgraceful.

    • The vaccinated are becoming modern day lepers, they are dying from simple colds and flues and populating the hospitals with righteous indignation for the unvaccinated.

    • We're talking about a "vaccine" here..... that has resulted in immediate miscarriages. Not the entire medical field of women issues. You're not ever going to get Polio.... because you've been vaccinated. The covid jab is not a vaccine. Vaccinated people are gettin covid , get very ill and some are dying.

    • Of the 6,985 deaths reported as of June 25, 22% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 15% occurred within 24 hours and 38% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

    • Reverend Jesse Jackson and his wife , both "vaccinated", now very ill and hospitalized with covid. Melissa Joan hart "vaccinated", now very sick with covid recovering at home. Just to name some famous "axed"people it doesn't work. It's not a vaccine.

    • The vaccinated are getting sick at a higher rate and are shedding virus at a rate orders of magnitude beyond the unvaccinated. The vaccinated should be marked for public safety.

    This is just a small sample....

    Since I try to remain optimistic, I am heartened to see that these willfully stupid magabilly mouth-breathers are finally embracing “my body, my choice”
    Who would have ever thought such a thing?

    I was surprised to hear my US State’s hospital beds are almost completely full. I live in Oregon and they definitely are advocating masks, vaccine, maybe not quite a lockdown, etc. Apparently, the system has usually relied on efficiency to keep hospital beds unoccupied, but that doesn’t work with a virulent pandemic. Already people are dying due to things unrelated to Covid, because there was no capacity to help them due to high number of Covid hospitalizations.

    Not good.

    I think there will see a major change in the public's attitude when:

    • children start dying in large numbers. Anyone dying is awful but with kids the impact will be huge. Footage of crying mothers every night on the TV news will have a big impact.

    • a state or city has it's medical system collapse due to the weight of COVID cases. Footage of patients dying in hospital beds in the car park will have huge impact.

    I hope we don't ever get there.

    Children are not going to start dying in large numbers because COVID and its variants affect elderly adults and those with serious underlying health problems. Not kids in general. This is not new information.

    It is absolutely not true that COVID only affects people with serious underlying health problems. MANY MANY people with no serious health conditions (including people in the prime of life) have died.

    You keep saying this and IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. Many people with no underlying health conditions have died from covid. Many of come near to dying as well. You are spreading misinformation.

    Additionally, no one knows the long term side-effects of long COVID and whether infections will give rise to health problems later.

    You continue to mischaracterize my posts. In the US, about 99% of everyone who contracts COVID recovers after experiencing mild cold or flu-like symptoms. Less than 1% (in the US) die from COVID. That’s because of ill health or underlying severe issues, such as heart, lung or related things like diabetes make them particularly vulnerable.

    It is untrue to suggest people are dying with no underlying physical conditions or illnesses. And the elderly remain the most vulnerable, however the majority of them have already been vaccinated in my State. Other States might be different.

    And never have I said one cannot GET COVID unless there are underlying health problems. Everyone is going to get COVID eventually. I’m betting more people have already had it and recovered than realize at this point, which would make them getting vaccinated pointless. Natural immunity is superior to any vaccine. And even if people have been vaccinated, Fauci and the CDC say you can STILL be a carrier and spreader, so YOU DO YOU and GET VACCINATED.

    And it appears no matter how many times I write this next part, at least one inattentive critic will continue to assert the opposite: GET VACCINATED IF YOU NEED TO OR WANT TO, BUT STOP SUGGESTING OTHERS SHOULD BE FORCED TO COMPLY.

    Now, why don’t some of the critics here (who profess to be so concerned) shout to the rooftops about China blocking all efforts to investigate the origins of COVID? I think every nation on the planet should stop doing any business with China until they cooperate.

  • WHATABOUT CHINA!? is a helluva take.

    But now that the Pfizer vaccine is officially approved by the FDA, all of those hesitant and concerned citizens will no doubt get the jab. But wait?! What’s that sound? Could it be the goalposts being moved even further off? has Fox News already found a reason to undermine this latest decision?

  • The “Left” is full of anti vaxxers, why do ppl always pin it all on the “right” as who is the problem.
    The left is the OG AntiVax Crew. Half the ppl I know who won’t get the vacc are liberal voters.

    We Need a couple new vaccines, for TDS and Qanonism

    Oh and Thanks ChinaGov for the super flu! (They need to be held accountable)

    On another note, How long till the Taliban gets Talibanned on Twitter?

    I’m one of the super at risk, and I ain’t scared, and I ain’t mad at anyone who hasn’t taken the vax yet.
    Getting mad at people and yelling/fighting solves nothing. It’s crazy times.

    But don’t worry, the super team of Biden&Harris will sort this all out lol #clownworld

    " It is untrue to suggest people are dying with no underlying physical conditions or illnesses. "

    This last statement is flat untrue. Many people have died with no underlying physical conditions. That is a fact.

    It is true that having underlying health issues makes you much more vulnerable. But many many many people have died without underlying physical conditions.

    That is a fact.

    It is also true that death isn't the only devastating negative consequence.

    This natural immunity is superior stuff you keep repeating is also untrue. The vaccine has been shown to provide better protection.

    Half the people you know who are anti-vax may be liberal voters, but I fear that proportion doesn't bear out in reality. It doesn't mean that liberals are all forward-thinking and that conservatives are anti-science. It might mean that right-wing media and Republican politicians have made the calculation that it's profitable to have an anti-vax stance. This breakdown makes it pretty clear.

    It is untrue to suggest people are dying with no underlying physical conditions or illnesses. And the elderly remain the most vulnerable, however the majority of them have already been vaccinated in my State. Other States might be different.

    And never have I said one cannot GET COVID unless there are underlying health problems. Everyone is going to get COVID eventually. I’m betting more people have already had it and recovered than realize at this point, which would make them getting vaccinated pointless. Natural immunity is superior to any vaccine. And even if people have been vaccinated, Fauci and the CDC say you can STILL be a carrier and spreader, so YOU DO YOU and GET VACCINATED.

    And it appears no matter how many times I write this next part, at least one inattentive critic will continue to assert the opposite: GET VACCINATED IF YOU NEED TO OR WANT TO, BUT STOP SUGGESTING OTHERS SHOULD BE FORCED TO COMPLY.

    Now, why don’t some of the critics here (who profess to be so concerned) shout to the rooftops about China blocking all efforts to investigate the origins of COVID? I think every nation on the planet should stop doing any business with China until they cooperate.

    You keep mischaracterizing what I said AND mischaracterizing your own words.

    You have repeatedly said that COVID only affects the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. Here are some examples of your words:

    "...COVID and its variants affect elderly adults and those with serious underlying health problems. Not kids in general. This is not new information."

    " It is untrue to suggest people are dying with no underlying physical conditions or illnesses. "

    This last statement is flat untrue. Many people have died with no underlying physical conditions. That is a fact.

    It is true that having underlying health issues makes you much more vulnerable. But many many many people have died without underlying physical conditions.

    That is a fact.

    It is also true that death isn't the only devastating negative consequence.

    This natural immunity is superior stuff you keep repeating is also untrue. The vaccine has been shown to provide better protection.

    You claim: “This last statement is flat untrue. Many people have died with no underlying physical conditions. That is a fact.”

    Cite the cases.

    Oh, wait… I’ll save you the trouble. Here’s a report from the UK: https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/deathsfromcovid19ofpeoplewithnounderlyinghealthconditionsbyage

    But HERE’S the kicker: “Out of the recorded pre-existing conditions within this report, obesity is not recorded.

    OBESITY IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO COVID DEATHS. It’s a factor!

    @NeuM: as I said: people with underlying conditions are at considerably higher risk. That is radically different from your claim that ONLY people with underlying conditions are at risk of death.

    And of course there are considerably more than 1% of the people that become symptomatic that encounter serious non-fatal repercussions.

  • The British Society for Immunology may not be a worthy opponent to scientific MAGAism, and is certainly no match for just stating things in all caps on this forum, but for what it's worth, they think vaccine-induced immunity is more effective and longer lasting for most peple than the "get COVID and survive it" version.

  • Two things.

    1. Ivermectin has been, and will continue to be, completely debunked. It’s nonsense and there’s not a serious scientist alive who will say otherwise without being paid by a pro-ivermectin group

    2. @espiegel123 i love you dude.

    LOVE LETTER TO NeuM:

    You answer everyone else but not me. I feel rejected! Please, please answer my question:

    If "the science and maths don't support any of it" as you put it, why would governments around the world, both left wing and right wing, support masks, vax and lockdowns?

    Every politician would love for COVID to just go away. It is a massive problem for them to contend with. Surley, for political survival, they would take the best path to beat COVID. If successful they would remove a huge load from them to manage, plus they could claim victory through their great leadership. "I led us out of the COVID disaster, vote for me!".

    Why would they take a path that science and math doesn't support? That would expose them to accountability at a later date when things go badly wrong and people get sick, the health system collapses under the weight and people die. No politician wants that.

    Answer, if you dare.... :-)

  • I find it odd that someone would complain about tone and being the subject of ad hominem attacks -- and yet LOL at people.

  • I always cant help but say it like this in my head.

    The article you posted refutes your position that no-one dies without pre-conditions. I will remind you: you haven't said that people with pre-conditions are at the greatest risk. Your position has been that essentially only people with pre-conditions are at risk.

    And, it just needs to be repeated over and over: death is not the only thing that one should consider. For many, there are long-term serious side effects.

    Also, not to be overlooked, why do you have so little empathy for people with "pre-conditions" as you call them. It isn't as if all these people with pre-conditions were about die.

    Do you consider age a “pre-existing condition”? Because those in the category of senior make up the majority of deaths. By a wide, wide margin.

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations-discovery/hospitalization-death-by-age.html

    Also, you’ve made a dishonest argument here. I did not say pre-existing conditions were the ONLY factor. Pre-existing conditions in the high-risk categories and advanced age are known factors.

    You keep changing your argument. There is no question that age is a huge factor. But that is categorically different from your repeated assertions that ONLY people with pre-conditions (including age) are at risk of death. Even in the article you posted people with no risk conditions and in the prime of life died.

    Many many many people that are not elderly and have no pre-conditions have died. That is indisputed. Is it the minority of the HUGE death toll. Yes. But you didn't argue that healthy people are at less risk. You repeatedly claimed that they were at no risk.

    AND that of course ignores that caring people consider near-death and long-term health consequences as important parts of the equation.
