Re: The Coronavirus Thread
Should those declining the vaccine be treated like those choosing obesity, in countries with socialized medicine?

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
We've still got capacity, 78 patients in ICU out of 90 beds, 783 total patients out of 839 total beds, 209 total COVID patients, 47 in ICU. Thing is, 90% of COVID patients are non-vaccinated. Fucking assholes. They really need to send them fucking home if someone needs a bed, it's their own goddamn fault they're sick.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
The immediate causal blame can go to them, but a nice big chunk of blame should go to all those conservative social media influencers who peddle their vaccine lies to the ill-educated...laklak wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 8:51 pmWe've still got capacity, 78 patients in ICU out of 90 beds, 783 total patients out of 839 total beds, 209 total COVID patients, 47 in ICU.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread
I do listen to conservative media types. Most of them are pro-vaccine (at least this set)
I'm not sure who you mean, but even those who are against it, rationally or rabidly, haven't changed my mind.
...or were you thinking of others when you said 'ill-educated'?

Last year, on one of his visits to town, the dreadlocked man with a long beard found out there was a pandemic raging. After vaccines against Covid-19 became available, he got jabbed and urges everyone to do the same.
