COVID killed twice as many republicans as it did democrats.

[Father Heathen]

Such as the Florida surgeon general.

Who was appointed by DeSantis?

 

[Father Heathen]

NPR? And Yale? Seriously? That tells me everything I need to know. Biased source, biased findings

The source material and data can be accessed and verified by anyone. But if conservatives want to keep killing themselves off then be my guest.

 

[Wildswanderer]

Who was appointed by DeSantis?

Your bias is showing.

 

[Father Heathen]

Your bias is showing.

It's got zero to do with politics.

Conservatives politicized the pandemic and refused to abide by preventative measures thereby contributing to the spread, causing a lot of sickness and death that could've been prevented.

People were chugging horse dewormer and fishtank cleaner, FFS...

Again...my health choices and beliefs are not political.

They appear to be. They may not be. But you may not even know.

I wonder how many times it has been explained to him that in a large population that you will see every medical event. VAERS collects raw information. For any malady when you are talking about a population of hundreds of millions you are guaranteed to see some people get it. The question is how does that percentage compare to a control group. It does not appear that the number of cases attributable to the vaccine is almost zero or zero when one does that.

Exactly. I know I've pointed it out myself many, many times. And yet here we are. Again.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Lots of medical experts advise against the vaccine and boosters now.

Such as? Any major medical associations?

 

[SkepticThinker]

So you can get hit and die anyway?[
The analogy doesn't work.

Yes, even if you look both ways before crossing the road, you can get hit and die.
Does that mean you're never going to look both ways before crossing the road again? Probably not, right?

" Why should I get vaccinated?"
" Because the government said so."

Uh, no. Because all major medical associations and all the evidence indicates that you should get vaccinated.

" Will it keep me from getting covid?"
" Um, no."

It will most likely keep you from being hospitalized, put on a ventilator, and/or dying from COVID. It will keep the hospitals from overflowing with patients which causes unnecessary deaths and backlogs for people needing non-COVID related medical attention.

" Will it for at least prevent me from dying of covid?"
" Not necessarily."

" Are there any risks?"
" Well, um, yes, there's always the risk that you will develop a heart disease that will either kill you or be with you the rest of your life, but hey, you will possibly have a slightly less severe experience with covid, unless you happen to be healthy anyways and then it isn't going to make any difference."

The risk of developing heart disease as a result of having COVID is much higher than the risk from getting it via the vaccine.
Oh, you didn't know that?

"I think I'll pass."
" What are you, some kind of conspiracy theory nut?"

Well let's see, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID are way, way down, while at the same time the vast majority of the population has been vaccinated (and boosted).

Your answer: Gee, I don't see the connection. I'm gonna go with conspiracy nonsense instead. Vaccines must be poison.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Again, you don't address the issue. Interesting.

I directly addressed it. The issue is your misuse of unverified data.
I've pointed it out to you several times before even, and yet you're still citing VAERS.

 

[SkepticThinker]

NPR? And Yale? Seriously? That tells me everything I need to know. Biased source, biased findings

Well then go ahead and read through their study and methodology, check their math, and let us know what's wrong with it. That's the beauty of science you know.

Or you could just dismiss it out of hand out of fear of learning new information.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Such as the Florida surgeon general.

My uncle knows a naturopath who thinks it's healthy to drink hydrogen peroxide.
You gonna start drinking it now, based on that guy's word alone?

Oops, I just did a quick search and it turns out the Surgeon General of Florida went to Harvard. I guess we have to dismiss his opinion as biased now, right?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Can't you read? LOTS!!

Loony Ostracized Traning Senter.

Hmm, what do those red lines mean?

 

[Wildswanderer]

I directly addressed it. The issue is your misuse of unverified data.
I've pointed it out to you several times before even, and yet you're still citing VAERS.

You never addressed the CDC refusal to release the data.

 

[Wildswanderer]

They appear to be. They may not be. But you may not even know.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

 

[Subduction Zone]

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

You just confirmed that you do not know at all.

 

[SkepticThinker]

You never addressed the CDC refusal to release the data.

What data?


You never addressed the fact that you keep posting unverified data from VAERS as though it's meaningful when VAERS themselves warn you not to do so.

 

[Wildswanderer]

You just confirmed that you do not know at all.

I know exactly why I make choices. What are you babbling about?
