Let's stop pretending resistance to disease-containment measures is "liberty"

[Rightguide]

One can safely speak for the FFs in this context, because in their time quarantines and compulsory vaccinations were established measures and nobody questioned their propriety.

What does the FF stand for, the Fucked-up Few? Just wonderin'.

A crowd you are totally unfit to comment on.

I've read The Federalist and shit like that -- and understood it, which you never could.

What would be the point of that? Like all information relevant to the pandemic, anyone can find it online.

Well, the fact that 99.49% of the population survive covid would help people understand that this is not a danger to the vast majority of people who contract it.

If you had a 99.49% chance to win a wager, I think you'd consider it a certainty that you'd win. In fact, you'd probably be shocked if you lost. Rounding up for the sake of simplicity, a 99.5% chance of something happening means that it occurs 199 times out of 200.

Yes, people die from covid. The people who die from covid have common characteristics such as age and health. If you adjust for your age demographic, you may find that you have an even better than 99.49% chance of beating covid.

These facts should be repeated and broadcast to the entire world.

The world has already heard them, over and over.

I challenge you on this point.

Please provide a single news article that says any of these facts. Any of the facts I mentioned will qualify. I just need one news article. Please share the link.

So “science” not “data” means nothing to Peckersneverstiff. Got it!

Where did you get those facts? Not news articles?

Does the CDC count as a legitimate source?

That's where I got the numbers that I used to make that calculation.

I thought the CDC was a good source, can't they be trusted?

 

[Bud_Spencer]

None of these measures works.

You’re wasting your time. Peckersneverstiff is the biggest gaslighter on this board. Don’t indulge his idiocy!

 

[GothTalk]

Of course they work, you just need a booster shot every time you leave the house and 10 pills a day for the rest of your life or gulag for you!!

Science says it's effective SO TAKE IT!!!

No questions or gulag for you.... extra liberal!!! Not authoritarian at all!!

About as far as you can throw The WHO...

 

[JohnnySavage]

It's notable that in the 18th and 19th centuries, the sick were quarantined, not the healthy.

Maybe Pecker can channel George Washington and let us know what he thinks about that.

Yeah, well, that would be for miles and miles!

 

[pecksniff]

How is there still even any controversy on this point?

 

[RobDownSouth]

I'll do that when you stop pretending that Omicron is the equivalent of your examples.

No you won't, housesquaw. You'll simply move the goalposts and invent some other rationale against mass vaccination. That's how you roll.

In the 18th Century, there was no way to detect asymptomatic carriers. Science Marches On.

If there had been an outbreak of typhoid in Philadelphia in 1787, no FF would have raised an eyebrow at every house with a reported case being placed under quarantine. If it were smallpox, none would have objected to universal compulsory vaccination.

Let's stop pretending these measures actually work to mitigate the CCP Virus or its variants. Biden and his communism have failed.

What has "communism" to do with any of this?!

Vaccination reduces your chances of infection, and, if infected, helps you get through it without permanent damage, and also reduces your chances of infecting others. These are known scientific facts.

Just a metaphor for his like-minded unlawful mandates, and his assumptions of Imperial authority.

Have you not noticed that every republic in the world is resorting to similar measures?

 

[oggbashan]

If more people volunteered to be vaccinated, no lockdowns or mandates would be required.

It is stupidity that makes such measures a probable necessity.

We're not other countries. Remember when you were a kid and you told your mom "but everyone else is doing it." Remember her response?
