BoloOfEarth Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm imagining one of the "faithful" showing up a the gates of heaven. "I've been faithful and trusted in God to keep me safe! How could I die of COVID?" And God's voice booming out, "Hey I had Fauchi warn people to wear masks and social distance. I sent multiple vaccine variants, most of which were available for free. What more did you expect? Three boats and a helicopter?" tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Florida woman who sued to force a hospital to treat her with ivermectin.... Spoiler dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 To be clear, her suit failed, so she didn't get ivermectin. That is certain to make her a martyr in the eyes of the vaccine skeptics, who'll use her to rally people to their cause. I"m struck by the top comment on that story at the time I write this, from "WKMG User": So they want to make a law that the doctors have to pump you with whatever you tell them you want? I can see that having a nice effect on the cost of health insurance for all of us, and legal insurance cover for doctors and hospitals. Will this mean if you tell the doc you love Trump and believe in bleach they have to load up the intravenous drip with your preferred brand? Actual thinking about it my preferred treatment for many things is a nice single malt Scotch; will hospitals need to keep a well stocked bar if the law comes about so those like me can get a nice dram from the Doc, all on our health cover of course?

Cygnia Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 One of my husband's nieces got COVID this week. She already was vaccinated (she's college aged, but lives at home). Her father (hubby's brother, who thinks Fauci "has an agenda"), however, still insists that everyone in his household attend a large gathering this coming Friday (another niece is in a school play) even though there's already a cold spreading in his kids. Did I mention I have to go to this gathering because FAMILY~! (and it's reserved seating, so I can't just go sit in the back to monitor my people-claustrophobia anyways). And this is on top of hubby's parents (they thankfully just got their boosters) then going off on a week's vacation in NC with said brother-in-law & his family for Thanksgiving?

The couple's attorney, Jake Huxtable, had this to say on the matter: Quote "We don’t know if (ivermectin) would have saved her life, but it could have," he said. "Maybe it wouldn’t have done anything, but we’re pursuing the case strictly from a legal perspective. Every person in Florida has a constitutional right to choose what is done with their own body." Two thoughts from me: 1) The last sentence is demonstrably false. For example, does every person in Florida have the constitutional right to choose to take LSD or heroin? 2) The right to choose does not and has never guaranteed freedom from the consequences of those choices. Choose not to get vaccinated, and one of the possible consequences is that you die from COVID-19. That's not government oppression, it's simple cause and effect. But yeah, I can see the martyrdom case heating up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Had some body aches and serious chills last night (like violently shivering chills). Much better this morning. Still a little achy. The skin where I got my shot feels thicker, and rough, like there are scales under the surface. And my pupils are starting to elongate vertically. But no major side effects.

Except of course if they're female and want to have an abortion. Or if they're terminally ill and wish to end their pain.

But no major side effects. Much like my first dose of vaccine (except for the scales and pupils). Just the reaction from your immune system responding that one would expect, and that's encouraging. I'll be glad to get a booster shot when they're available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Humanevents.com was bought by an independently wealthy Trump supporter in 2019 and is run by the former editor in chief of Breitbart London. It’s hard because pandemic issues often bleed over into policy, but hopefully in the future we can limit links here to more scientific sources. A separate thread for political commentary exists.
