Covid Deniers Vs Cte Deniers: Analogy

[Lazaran]

There seems to be a correlation between Covid deniers and CTE deniers, and it seems the reasons are very similar.

Covid deniers are often stock traders who are heavily invested(no pun intended) in the market and are willing to risk people's health for the sake of profits.

CTE deniers are often sports gamblers who are willing to risk players health to win a bet.

I have known sports bettors who got apoplectic when it was announced that a key player( or players) would be sitting out due to a concussion after they had already placed their bet, and would argue that the risks of serious injury if the player took the field were minimal. They would go to great lengths to discredit the medical professionals who provided the scientifically verified analysis and guidance. Just like Covid denying stock traders get apoplectic when new Covid restrictions are announced. They start minimizing the risks of Covid and attack the medical professionals. They even rail against something as minor as wearing a mask.

Both groups are correct that if you take people's health into consideration, the teams season or the stock market will suffer.

There are definitely legitimate reasons to open parts of the economy up, but when certain people start going to extremes to discredit the science, you definitely have to question their motives and agendas.

What's CTE? My only gits were "Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy"
(I use a Japanese located vpn)

 

[Conager]

The OP is revealing his history of brain trauma.

-as if that was not already readily apparent.

Yeah, that's the "gits" you should have "gots", seeing as how it directly pertains to the content of my comment. Are you being purposefully obtuse???

Back to IGGY for you.

I'm starting to have a different attitude towards anti-maskers.
Their stuborness still irritates the fuck out of me.
But while a month ago I was seeing them all as a bunch of self-entitled, narcissistic Neanderthalls me me me my (which half of them are, but not all)

I'm starting to think that a few are trying to make a valid point, which I fail to grasp.
I fail to grasp it because you guys generally focus on why masks don't work (we will never see eye to eye on that), instead of what you fear might happen.
You fear for liberties being stripped away, but how? Can you provide potential case scenarios.

I started being worried when an acquaintance told me that he had Police enter his residence without his permission -- because a neighbor hasn't seen him around and was worried that he'd been hit by covid-.
Apparently Police now have the power to lower the threshold of searches on property. They rang the doorbell tentativelly only once, after which they entered,
What if he was growing more cannabis plants than legally allowed? They could have ruined his life.

honestly, I'm not making it up.
Try a google search with a Japanese vpn , and that's the only thing you get, lol:
"Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy".

I still don't know what CTE refers to, I need to log out from my vpn to do so.
Please tell me

Oklahoma family says the government is lying about their grandpa's death: He 'didn't die from COVID'

Florida man in his 20s listed among COVID-19 fatalities — but health officer says he died in motorcycle crash

How one flawed study and irresponsible reporting launched a wave of CTE hysteria

From scientist to salesman How Bennet Omalu, doctor of ‘Concussion’ fame, built a career on distorted science

Can you also speak and explain to us why you think they anihilate OP's premise?

Or are you expecting us, the unwashed masses, to engage in mind-guessing & try to argue why Sir Miles thinks that they're a victorious check-mate.
Because he's too above us, to explain his points.

 

[sundries]

Fucking paid per propaganda link poster.

 

[sundries]

I still don't think it's Miles, as most Leftists claim.
Might not even be a current regular.

Miles was completely different - he was quite personable and passionate.
This alt is an autistic paid-per post propaganda shill.

The difference is between watching sports and paying rent and food bills. There will always be scary pathogens. Bacteria that are resistant to all antibiotics are likely to rack up much higher numbers. People will eventually get over their fear and resume living. Many will do that by necessity as manufacturing costs shut down disposable PPE production and the government becomes unable to spend its way out of messes.

If you insist on staying scared, you could learn how to do something, like making beer, which is an ingredient in many cleaning products, and can also be medicine.

Oh look, a denier has decided to play, cherry picking a few articles that mean nothing.

Covid is real. Fauci is the expert not Chuck Woolery or Trump.

CTE is real. Ann McKee is the expert, not Omalu, though Omalu's grandstanding did bring attention to the issue of concussions in sports and the long term risks to people's health.

Back to IGGY for you.

When an effective vaccine and therapeutics are widely available people will get back to life and deal with Covid much like they do the Flu.

Until then, wearing a mask is a very reasonable ask for people in confined public places so the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed by Covid on top of all the other things they have to deal with. Social distancing can be enforced to a certain degree by shutting down bars, indoor dining, etc, but if people want to get together for clandestine Covid parties, there's not much anyone can do about it. Everyone will have to suffer right along with the deniers when states have to scale back their reopening plans due to the ignorant fucks in society.

Continuing to deny reality is only going to damage the economy and people's health more than it already has.

The denier in chief owns this shit show.

How do you define "effective?"

This year's influenza vaccine was 30% effective. Hard to say hiw many died of influenza since all "suspected" Covid19 deaths are financially incentivized to be coded as Covid19 and have 5he same symptoms I "suspect" they will not "suspect" influenza.

Much like the Flu, Covid will have to be dealt with by using a vaccine AND therapeutics.

Both are being vetted at the moment.

As far as the coding shenanigans, that is mostly anecdotal at this point, and the reality is more likely that many of the early cases that could have been attributed to Covid weren't.

It's also a good argument for doing away with for profit health care. Eliminate the incentives for hospitals to game the system.

Now it's back to IGGY for you.

Excellent plan!
Eliminate the incentives!
Then no one will have any reason to give a shit about anybody!

What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, because that's what "eliminate the incentives for hospitals to game the system " means.

If your suggesting that the only reason for profit hospitals exist is to rip people off as much as possible, I might be inclined to somewhat agree with you.

Now back to IGGY with you.

Who is going to develop the vaccines and therapeutics without a profit motive?

Profit motive improves every other product or service, why would hospitals not respond the same way?

Nope, I’m suggesting exactly what I say. They won’t give a shit about you, or anybody else.
A simple concept. I refer you to the actions of democratic Mayors, and their constituents.

I am sure being IGGY’d by the likes of you, will not take up ANY of my time.

Adios, pequeno pedo!

I tend to think of the expense and waste of so many disposable masks and other items first. Others may have more visceral reasons and motives. Wearing a mask is sensory and communication deprivation. Smell is the most immediately emotional sense, so smell deprivation could be an invisible elephant pulling a chariot of fuck you.
