I call a spade, a spade no matter who is the POTUS. Gosh I miss low gas prices.

Get another pandemic related lockdown and you’ll get your low gas prices. That or the proliferation of lower priced EV’s

This is one of many similar responses from you, Oz. This thread is a 615 page thread about the vaccine and it's apparent you haven't followed it or read most of it. You are regurgitating points that have been brought here several times. My issue with your arguments are that you're not here to discuss, in earnest, the vaccine and what we've learned about it and what the statistics have shown to be valid and the reasonable conclusions that can be derived from them.

You came into the thread from a p.o.v. that is rooted in your political ideology (you've admitted to it several times) and it is not based on the science or the stats that have shown the success of the vaccines. You've passively called out those in this thread as not being objective or coming to conclusions based due to a bias (pot? Kettle?). With few exceptions, the prior 615 pages show otherwise. You keep doubling back to a disdain for government, liberals and that the government lied and that's why you have not and will not get the vaccine.

You puffed up your chest and told us about you and your healthy, low body fat self have skirted serious illness (or contracting COVID at all?). Sincerely, that's good for you. We can pull up instances on both sides about those that succumbed to COVID and those that avoided serious illness or long-covid symptoms. But you haven't presented anything that has disproved the effectiveness of the vaccines. Just keep repeating that "someone said it would prevent COVID" and you won't let that go. Because you don't want to believe the proof. Fine, but stop insulting us as if we don't get it. I think we do and have been fluid in trying to sort it out for quite a while.

Your one-man case study doesn't disprove the success of the vaccine (which is the thread topic, not about the evil government libs). Sadly, St. PJ had a similar opinion on the matter, but wasn't as fortunate as you.

Either present real info on the subject or take this to https://madaboutpolitics.com/

you can always tell when somone posts to a thread by reading the title only. majority of threads, especially 600 pages in, have evolved past the original title, more so when it's a question or opinion thread. to just jump into this thread with a simple reply way off topic isn't gonna help his cause any. he could have at least went back and skimmed through it a little bit.

It's interesting to observe how different cultures react to similar situations.
I spent 2019-2021 in the U.S., while my wife and younger son stayed in MX. In the U.S., the pandemic quickly got over-politicized. In my home State of Yucatan, there were no political sides taken, there were no conspiracy theories or wild claims about drinking bleach or taking horse medicine, except for a few social media attention-seekers who were very much translating into Spanish tweets and FB posts from anti-vaxers, QAnon, etc... people here couldn't get the vaccine fast enough; many traveled to the U.S. to get it. The 2 biggest vaccine controversies were how long it took to distribute the vaccines and people refusing to get the Cuban vaccine.

The government in my home State went all out on social distancing; one of the convention centers was turned into a covid hospital with 400 beds. Because of the government efforts and people following guidelines/getting the vaccine, hospitals here never were overflowing with Covid patients. That makeshift, 400 bed covid hospital never reached even half the capacity...

There were still deaths, sure, and the government had a report, both in Spanish and Maya, every day of the number of deaths, the conditions of the people who died, and every day stressed vaccination, masks, and social distancing... for the most part, covid was pretty much controlled. It would've been better if it weren't because the State is a big tourism destination and has a large expat community.

Anecdotal evidence is the best evidence. What I heard happened to this guy on FB I went to high school with AND my friend's wife's uncle AND my co-worker's cousin's sister is far more compelling than any studies and statistics "they" want you to believe.
 
when it all first started, I had a guy tell me, all you have to do is when you get home everyday is use the blow dryer up your nose because the virus gets caught in your nose hairs (like a filter) and the heat would kill it. I wish I could see where he is now and if he burned out all of his nose hair and killed the sensors in his nose and is now lost his ability to smell? lol

Wasn't that another presidential recommendation from 2019-2020? :hihi:
