I do blame many of the societal evils of the 21st Century because of:

I saw it on the internet so it must be true

Double edge sword
Like any tool
It’s all in how you use it

Absolutely oh Jedi Master of "Personal Experience..."

 

[TonySmjc]

Master of my own personal experience
And that might not be enough in a lot of instances

but in this one with so many of us having the same experiences it just might be
When 1:2 the country has one set of personal experience and 1/2 has another

you have an issue

I’ll take my experience over your lab experiment everyday
At least until you prove it out
And get all your ducks in a row

that’s the part your missing

 

[movetheboat]

Those ducks will never be in a row acceptable to you........I have yet to see anyone as like minded as you change their mind about anything they have already made their mind up about. They all demand "proof" (climate/vaccines etc) but even if produced they still will not budge, as they won't really accept proof as that is an admission they were wrong

Here is the funny part...they also believe in the most ridiculous unproven total BS in certain areas that even after numerous investigations prove them false....they still cling to their false belief.

but they are entertaining....so they got that going for them!!

 

[TonySmjc]

They surely could be

they aren’t but they could be and it wouldn’t take much more than a littel common sense and recognition of the facts on the ground

yes mtb proof is necessary
Not conflicting truth , not quasi facts
Not Mumbo jumbo truth
And acceptance of the underlying facts
Climate changes
Man is a consumer of natural resources as are all species

mask either work or they don’t not wear one on this area not that , or it’s ok when eating but not just walking
Vaccines work to this level and no further
Stores are open or closed not some arbitrary mosh

Truth for Better or worse I can live with

not this crap

All that said, some facts are well established at this point. Vaccinated people infected with the virus are much less likely to need to go to the hospital, much less likely to need intubation and much less likely to die from the illness. There’s no doubt that vaccines provide significant protection. But a large proportion of the nation -- almost 30% of U.S. adults -- have not been vaccinated, a fact that has conspired with the highly contagious delta variant to push the country into a new wave of outbreaks.

“The big picture here is that the vaccines are working and the reason for the spike in the U.S. is we have too little vaccine uptake,” Frieden said.

To a certain extent, breakthrough cases of any virus are expected. In clinical trials, no Covid vaccine was 100% effective -- even the best vaccines never are. The more the virus is in circulation, the greater the risk of breakthrough cases. It’s also common for some aspects of viral immunity to naturally wane over time.

Large insurers have stopped waiving COVID-19 treatment costs, an analysis found. Hospitalization could cost you thousands.

Insurers stopped covering treatment costs once vaccines became widely available, but hospitalizations are skyrocketing again in the US.

All fix that for you.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in thoses offices when they discuss how badly
What they are going to say will come across
When they discuss how badly they blundered this and what they will say in their weak attempts to tamp things down another day

waiting for the day they simply say
We are simply going to have to take this on the chin folks and let it run it’s course
We think this or that might help , but it’s really up to you
Stay home on your own dime if you wish

Wear a mask if you wish
Get a shot if you wish

but to be blunt we don’t really have a blessed clue

The irony is we do have a clue. Some refuse to see that.

Look at what's happening around the world. Hope it doesn't happen here!

Thats funny heard the same thing last April, two weeks right ? Way over a year later were in the same boat guess nothing helped

 

[OVERBORED]

If you think that you're DEFINITELY not paying attention!!

Sure I am only thing different from the get go is an unapproved FDA vaccine and look now we are going right back to the get go

 

[OVERBORED]

Protocols in place are now preventing deaths. Protocols developed over the last year. Mistakes were made but so were breakthroughs.

People want absolutes. Virus mutates, all bets are off.

Not vaccinating or masking makes you a part of the problem not the solution.

Thought masks/social distancing/hand washing/sanitizer were protocols were in place in the beginning to prevent deaths? Thats all still in place and even an unapproved vax and people still dying go figure

 

[OVERBORED]

So who's dying?

Who's getting sick?
