Welp, as of yesterday morning our company of ~200 employees was completely shut down due to five or six guys from the same shop testing positive. Word is one of the guys has a stripper girlfriend and he caught it from her and he being the guy that likes to share stuff with his buds, he shared the Covid with them too.

Along with that a classmate of mine who became a pastor refused to get vaccinated is now in ICU being vented, his heart stopped twice since being admitted and it appears quite a few of his flock from church have come down with the same D variant that's been ripping through the state with 95%+ of them being unvaccinated.

So here I am being stuck with mixed emotions having a lifelong friend at death's door due to his refusal to get the shot.

Again, so what? You're just obfuscating the truth, namely that vaccination is easily the best tool we have for people to protect themselves & their communities. Vaccinated people only rarely require much in the way of treatment.

Seems there is a question as to whether, even with vaccinations, it might be worth continuing to promote masks and social-distancing (i.e. 'alternative forms of prevention'). I don't have a good feeling about our abandoning all such measures and relying entirely on the vaccines. Predictably it's resulting in a further surge in case numbers, and hospitalisations and deaths are creeping up as well.

COVID tries to find friendly hosts if it can find them.

Being Anti-Social is your only hope.

My dad's a doctor.. I've alienated I don't know how many of his patients due to steady refusal to see patients in person
Totally normal human reaction....

I like how he ended up just tripping and falling down on his after his poo flinging display.

Where the police at tho?

Looking to shoot BLM activists while this gets a pass cuz Donuts!

Just saw this from your link.

Look at this violent knuckle dragger
This had nothing to do with masking. I hate the fucking internet and misinformation.

(not your fault, the guy that tweeted that with his fake fucking headline)

His tirade might not have been about masking, but he was the only one I saw in the video who was not masked and who was spewing respiratory droplets everywhere.

My co-worker's sister is riding the crazy train. An anti-masker, anti-vaxxer, COVID denier, she just spend four days on pure oxygen and got intubated this morning. If she manages to survive, brain damage is almost certain as her oxygen saturation dropped into the fifties at one point. Her husband also has COVID but isn't hospitalized, yet. My co-worker gets to deal with the emotional rollercoaster, anger, and fear.
The latest is that given the patient's condition, the doctor expects her to be on the vent for at least three months so add long term lung damage, muscle wasting, heart damage, and high likelihood of secondary infections (pneumonia).

Here’s another one for the “The Republican Party is a death cult” file. Governor. Tate Reeves (COVID19-MS), whose state has a higher per capita fatality rate than New York, says not to worry about covid because, Jesus will give them eternal life.

https://www.rawstory.com/mississippi-2654826341/

Reeves - "I'm often asked by some of my friends on the other side of the aisle about COVID … and why does it seem like folks in Mississippi and maybe in the Mid-South are a little less scared, shall we say, When you believe in eternal life — when you believe that living on this earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don't have to be so scared of things" Now, God also tells us to take necessary precautions."

There's not a lot of light between that statement and Jonestown. The koolaid just comes in a smaller, more frequent weekly doses. It's possible to chose both god and science. It's not a binary decision. One of them is actually evidence based to be pretty good at saving your life.

TBF, the article says his problem started with an argument with his GF. It *may* have been over masking.

Other than that, I agree that it's very ez to distort facts.

It’s the same shit reasoning that “Christians” used to justify slavery and help keep their slaves in check.

Wow, NY NJ and MA have been at the top of the deaths per 1M people list for over a year. Looks like LA and MS displaced MA and now NY also per that link.

Test for us will be back to school and forward. I keep thinking MI, FL and TX summer is like our winter months everyone is inside.
However we are better vaccinated and we have been holding up well vs delta.

To sum up, this guy defended Kyle Rittenhouse, appears to have scammed Rittenhouse and his family and his creditors, and repeatedly posted antivax drivel on social media up to the point he was hospitalized with COVID19. He is now on a ventilator and non-responsive.


More on this complete and total grifter — in debt to the tune of several million, running sketchy fund-raising campaigns, etc


Get well soon…dumbfuck.
