I really can't believe people still say masks don't work...just foolish
For many, the truth is always convenient. Always.

I take it you hard core mask wearers were wearing them in all the past cold and flu seasons and you plan on wearing them in perpetuity…is that correct?

Cold/Flu: almost no precautions taken leads to 50,000 US deaths/year. Covid: Much more distancing, making, vaccinating and we still will push 1 million deaths in two years (not to mention long covid, the impacts on other healthcare needs, etc.)
Admittedly, it's difficult to draw a line of exactly where extra precautions should be taken. Common cold? No. Covid Classic? Yes. Covid Delta? Yes? Covid Omicron? Maybe? Future Covids? Hopefully not.
That said, I've learned a lot of things to change that I'll apply regardless of whether we're in a pandemic. Pot lucks; blowing the candles out on birthday cakes, going to work while sick, shaking hands, etc. We were probably far too lax in the good ol' days. I flat out should not have been going to work when sick...and now that it turns out working from home is a breeze, I probably won't under all but very rare circumstances (hopefully not even that). Masks? I don't know...maybe if I have a cold and need to go to the pharmacy, I'll throw it on. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. It's OK to feel discomfort. I look forward to laughing at someone calling me a p***y for wearing one.
I don't think masks are ever going all the way away, though we've certainly learned how much people hate them (and, anecdotally, my experience is that this is not as right-leaning as a sheep like myself might assume...most liberals in my life really want be done with masks. I personally don't mind it...it's a minor inconvenience).

Pot lucks have been gross for many years. I'm the senior person at work and the teams put them together. I have to be careful that I don't offend anyone, but I tend to grab the pizza that gets ordered and that's about it. Maybe I'm being a snob or elitist, but I don't trust food preparation in general.
Many years ago while I was doing my training in hospitals I really upped my handwashing game and became a lot more cautious about what I did with my hands, like opening doors, turning faucets, etc., and noticed a major reduction in the frequency of colds and gastroenteritis, even though I was working with sick people all day. I'll continue to not shake hands and reduce all the points of contact that I can. I'm fine with masks and will probably continue to wear masks for public transit and other crowded indoor places for quite some time, especially in the winter. And yeah, I try to avoid the potlucks at work unless I know the place and can grab my food early. Luckily we don't have them that often - we're all really busy and there's no budget for it
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Hey! Brakes in your car don’t prevent 100% of accidents. Completely useless. Get rid of em and don’t use them.
You mentioned "lost interest?"
As had you. But you also haven’t defended your positions or declarations very well. I’m not sure why that is, though.
Simple - you believe in Jesus and I believe in Santa. Or vice versa. I forgot.
Oh the sweet baby jebus! Santa is real! Still can’t defend your opines, eh? Well, Christmas is coming and if you’re good, Santa will help you.
Do I really have to defend record breaking cases globally after one year of vaccination? I'm sure you've heard. Or ineffective flu vaccine at 40%? What else?
What percentage of folks have to have had covid to reach herd immunity? What percentage of those with covid, hospitalized and dying are unvaccinated? Versus those who are?
Is seasonal flu eradicated? How about aids? SARS? Or any other type of viral infection disease?
If not 100%, it’s not effective? That’s just dumb. Drunk driving laws? Not effective, get rid of them. And hey! Go out and drunk drive everyone because, well, we can’t stop it 100% anyway. And age limits for guns? Why? You’re not stopping kids from killing others, right? What’s the point? And child proof caps on cleaning chemicals and medicine. Just a pain in the ass. Get rid of them. Lighters? Those Bic lighters where you’ve got to press two buttons simultaneously while you flick to get it to light? Dumb! Go back to the old school lighters. Airbags? No good, either.
Is everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated, vaccinated?
How do you have time for all of this? Wasted your whole day...
Took me about a minute and I must say, I’m entertained by our exchanges but hardly enlightened. I miss the old days. Sigh (through my mask).
What did you want me to say? Counter argue they should ban alcohol, cigarettes and (most importantly) sugar? It's pointless. By the way, you meant to say - through my double mask.
Out of curiosity, do you think that life insurance companies will raise the rates on or refuse coverage for unvaccinated people in the same way they do for cigarette smokers, alcoholics, and obese people?
Probably? If something makes the odds too high of having to pay out, the insurance companies won't want to insure it. There whole model works on everyone chipping into a pot, but only so many people need to take from the pot. If unvaxxed people have too great a chance of landing in the hospital, it would tip those scales.
Exactly. But it’s probably a pointless topic since most anti-vax idiots are probably too selfish and inconsiderate to consider life insurance anyway. That, and I think some of them truly believe they are invincible. I can’t keep up with their delusions anymore.
Why would you say "anti-vax idiots?" It's equivalent to "fat idiots." Over 50% of forum users are obese. Why not tell them to slow down on donut, coke and midnight snack consumption? Or mandate calorie intake restrictions. Same thing. Health choices.
By far the dumbest analogy I’ve seen lately, congrats. If you didn’t believe eating donuts and cokes makes you fat, then yes, I would call you a fat idiot. Where is your data that 50% of forum users are obese? You state that as a fact with no research? Sounds like you just believe what you want to with only assumptions to credit for those beliefs. Sounds like a fabulous way to go about making medical decisions.
How is that the dumbest analogy? Did you know that much like the vaccine, there are plenty of studies that show that being overweight isn't healthy for you? Obesity has been on of COVID's biggest issues. Many of the people that have died are obese. It isn't hard to exercise yet people still don't do it. Funny how all of the anti-vax shamers don't go after the obese in the same way. If more people lived a healthier life, many lives could've been saved during this pandemic. Are obese people selfish? They take up hospital beds because of their life choices. They make life decisions to not be healthy much like the unvaccinated make their decision.
Thank you!
Your analogy is right on point and don't let anyone tell you anything different. Obese people make the decision to be obese much like the unvaccinated make their decision to not be vaccinated. Both have all the information they need but still make their own decision to be not be healthy. I am not advocating that everyone starts to shame the obese. To be clear, we shouldn't be shaming either group because it's only going to cause more division. There is a plethora of unhealthy decisions made every day by many of us yet the unvaccinated are the only ones being attacked daily.

you guys are so far off base its mind boggling
thank you. I was about to make that comparison as well, but thought since I'm not one, maybe I shouldn't.
but what I will say, is there is so much more psychologically going on when it comes to food consumption, it is incredibly ignorant to believe it is simply a matter of will or "just don't go to the fridge at midnight". what a preposterously stupid statement.
So the answer is no…even though you could spread the flu and an elderly person could pick it up and who knows…ok.
you are wearing a mask because you are told too…we all knew wearing a mask during cold and flu season would be beneficial, we have seen examples…it’s not uncommon for asians to wear masks…
The guy on the right is an NDP politician from northern Ontario…he was this on tv yesterday losing his shit over the unvaccinated…I thought he was going to stroke out, look how red his face is? So unless this dude was bigger at the start of the pandemic, then what has he done to improve his odds if he contracted the virus? What is he going do just sit around and get jabbed every month while not lifting a finger to help himself…

In 2022 most addicts knew the initial risks. If I want to buy my first pack of cigarettes then it's my decision. Same risk applies to not getting a vaccine. Freedom of choice. Of course, it's psychological for most obese (which I honestly feel bad for), but SOME are obese via pure negligence. Again, their health decision.

you are wearing a mask because you are told too…we all knew wearing a mask during cold and flu season would be beneficial, we have seen examples…it’s not uncommon for asians to wear masks…
The guy on the right is an NDP politician from northern Ontario…he was this on tv yesterday losing his shit over the unvaccinated…I thought he was going to stroke out, look how red his face is? So unless this dude was bigger at the start of the pandemic, then what has he done to improve his odds if he contracted the virus? What is he going do just sit around and get jabbed every month while not lifting a finger to help himself…
I take it you hard core mask wearers were wearing them in all the past cold and flu seasons and you plan on wearing them in perpetuity…is that correct?
Yeah, I think so. I had a flu bug once before COVID that was really, really bad. And that was about 5 or 6 years ago. At this stage in life, yeah, I'm covering my ass. Oh yeah, and my mouth and nose as well.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
If the vaccine was still effective then maybe Quebec might have a case...but the vacinne is proving to be less effective and expecting people to get a shot every 3 months to cover up for politicians and bureaucrats who can't manage the healthcare system properly is ludicrous....and if that greaseball running Quebec is somehow your hero, well...choose better... . The greaseball running the province also promised medical info would not be shared between government agencies...so it's not ethical...but ethics don't matter when your covering up your own incompetence...
Let’s bring in a fat tax. We know that obese people do very badly with Covid…let’s tax them?
because we do know is that fat people cost the system plenty?
what we do know is that the vaccine is less effective? We do not know the course of the this virus or the vaccine…so yeah let’s tax people who refuse to get jabbed every 3/4 months because your cult leaders are DUMB…
Comments
You can not have a discussion about this virus and vaccine without discussing personal health responsibilities as well…
in canada and the US we have disease management system…not a HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

Admittedly, it's difficult to draw a line of exactly where extra precautions should be taken. Common cold? No. Covid Classic? Yes. Covid Delta? Yes? Covid Omicron? Maybe? Future Covids? Hopefully not.
That said, I've learned a lot of things to change that I'll apply regardless of whether we're in a pandemic. Pot lucks; blowing the candles out on birthday cakes, going to work while sick, shaking hands, etc. We were probably far too lax in the good ol' days. I flat out should not have been going to work when sick...and now that it turns out working from home is a breeze, I probably won't under all but very rare circumstances (hopefully not even that). Masks? I don't know...maybe if I have a cold and need to go to the pharmacy, I'll throw it on. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. It's OK to feel discomfort. I look forward to laughing at someone calling me a p***y for wearing one.
I don't think masks are ever going all the way away, though we've certainly learned how much people hate them (and, anecdotally, my experience is that this is not as right-leaning as a sheep like myself might assume...most liberals in my life really want be done with masks. I personally don't mind it...it's a minor inconvenience).

but what I will say, is there is so much more psychologically going on when it comes to food consumption, it is incredibly ignorant to believe it is simply a matter of will or "just don't go to the fridge at midnight". what a preposterously stupid statement.
