Why should my tax dollars pay for fatty on the right healthcare..This fatty had done nothing to lose weight…

originally with the original 2 shots and the booster I said get the shot and have yet he unvaccinated healthcare … but since then things have changed…

Maybe these so called leaders should try honesty…and start by saying “at this point we really don’t know.”  Go from there…but quit pretending they know…because no one knows..

how do you know he has done nothing to lose weight?  Maybe he used to be much bigger...maybe he could eat four Big Macs but he stops at three...

maybe its genetic.

maybe its medication caused

many reasons why someone is obese

Many good reasons to tax him if they are going that route.
Everybody has a reason. Even the unvaccinated.

You are charged extra for life insurance if your BMI is above a certain level, so they absolutely should do the same with those refusing to get vaccinated.  

Maybe the tax is just that you die at a younger age for obesity?  The tax for Covid may be that you live with severe brain damage or severe vascular issues.  Some studies have shown that men experiencing a severe case of Covid are having erectile disfunction issues.  If you don’t like me calling anti-vaxxers “idiots”, maybe “limp dickers” is a more appropriate term?
The vaccinated are still getting way less severe cases if they do get a “breakthrough” case, so they are most likely safer from that outcome.

Sorry about your erectile dysfunction. Explains your anger.

Strange reply.  Your personal attack seems like projecting.  No issues in that department here, thankfully!

Strange reply to your strange analogy. Throwing "idiots" around is personal. 

Only if you take it personally.  I never directly called you an idiot.  But if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…

Thanks for the clarification regarding your ED. Needed that.

Okay, I lied, I 100% think you specifically are an idiot.  Yes, personal attack, you specifically are an idiot in my educated opinion…and I have a degree in Sociology and Psychology so I’m pretty good at spotting them.  (Kat, go ahead and remove this when you please)

Degree in Sociology and Psychology and anger management issues. Just great.

I am not angry, just calling it what it is.  At some point an idiot needs to be called an idiot in the same way an alcoholic should be called an alcoholic. I am pretty good at managing anger, actually.  Just stating facts.

Right. Degree in psychology and sociology, but works at the restaurant because of the anger issues.

Just stating facts:

Get the vaccine and potentially avoid being a limp-dicker.

Polish scientists believe they have identified a gene that more than doubles the risk of getting severely ill with covid. The gene is fairly common in Poland, more so than in Europe in general but less so than in India.

This is promising.  Thanks for sharing.  I wonder if it's present in Slavs in general, rather than just Poles.  I wouldn't think a border would be a factor.  I'm 50% Slavic as my father was 100% Ukrainian, so this is interesting.

@Kat How can I block someone whose profile is private?

Great info.  I have read that tailoring vaccines to a person’s genetics is becoming more and more of a possibility.  

Here’s one article on it:

I admire your passion. We believed you the first time. Can you stop with the ED, now? It's getting awkward.

wonder if this line of research in general is already a thing?

like researching the known viruses flu, cold , sars etc

if not should it be?

I think yes.

That’s amazing. According to Twitter these are the only types that die from Covid. 

They are worth noting.

Meh. AOC caught Covid and someone defensively  noted that she’s one of millions that caught it. I’m just stating the same here. 

She attended anti-vax conferences.  She worked hard to convince people NOT to get the vaccine.  I think the distinction is pretty clear. 

Cool. If keeping track of people you don’t agree with dying is your thing then I guess, enjoy? 

You received the information in the same way as me. I guess it's your thing too.

Wasn’t saying it’s your thing. But if that’s your thing than that’s cool too. 

Reading is kind of my thing.. but I can't read minds or the definition of "you".  My discussion was about your lack of distinction between this person getting COVID (and dying) and AOC's COVID (and not dying).  

Cool. If keeping track of people you don’t agree with dying is your thing then I guess, enjoy?

I was joking with that last comment. I see the distinction. I guess I don’t get the obsession with it. 

I don't think anyone is obsessed with it....it's news

It's a clear obsession. Haven't seen celebratory posts regarding pro-mandate, double vaxxed and boosted people dying from covid.

Go ahead post a link with info on vaccinated & boosted folks dying from COVID will be here waiting, both me & my wife work at big hospitals here on Long Island 85-90% of admissions are from unvaccinated patients!!! This is meant for AW 

You should add - hospitalization of unvaccinated and obese. We're in taxing the unvaccinated/obese phase.

I'm amazed at obese people that refuse the vaccine. My idiot neighbor weighs at least 400 pounds. It is painful watching him walk down his driveway and get in his vehicle.  His mom told me that he refuses to get vaccinated and it would be a death sentence if he caught covid.

Whatever....Let's go Darwin

Oh no. His vaccinated mom may infect him. Another great life story.

You and your posts have gone off the rails completely. 

I just typed a long response, but realized that it would fall of deaf ears. It's not worth getting into an internet discussion with someone that is incapable of actually having a discussion, as your posts have proven. 

You should re-read that anecdote. 

No need to. I know what it says. I tend to follow some great advice that my Dad gave me..."think before you speak."

Can you guys please take your whatever the hell you’re arguing about to pm’s?  For fuck’s sake. Have your squabbles in private. 

There are some here who actually take this shit seriously.

Totally agree. We had a proper debate and then Mr. Degree rallied it off yesterday with calling people "idiots."

Anyone else read this blog?  Great data and frequent updates:

“We are seeing this in local jurisdictions, too. In a South Carolina Children’s hospital, all children hospitalized with/for COVID19 were unvaccinated. Every one of them. In the state of New York report, 91% of children aged 5-11 years who were hospitalized with/for COVID19 were unvaccinated.”

Yet another pretty significant compilation of data showing the effectiveness of vaccines.

DMs aren't possible when someone hides behind a private profile.  

But I agree with your sentiment.

Closed for review. Done.
