Dude, you told us that you don't maintain a safe stopping distance in wet weather, contrary to just about every driving safety guide in existence. How do you think that's going to end up?
"I'm special and think I know better" doesn't cut it as a good explanation why you're right and safety guides are not.
I love how you just selectively remember things to claim you are right.
The original published advice for the vaccines was a three month gap, because that's the standard technique and the basis that the companies did their trials. We all knew that. It was accelerated to a shorter time because there was also evidence that a smaller gap would convey significantly improved immunity anyway, which was more desirable for the vulnerable whilst the disease was rampant. We had a long discussion about whether it was right to go for the shorter latency on this forum. And lo and behold, at a societal level, the shorter latency turned out to be a good decision.
Marty Makary isn't worth a rat's fart in this matter. He's got nothing terribly interesting or novel to say, he's just someone you kept banging on about and want to pretend is important for no other reason that you quoted him.
The fact that I can brake sooner in the rain than not in the rain means I have to keep more distance in the rain? That doesn't make any sense.
There's literally no data that getting the doses closer together saved anyone's life. IIRC the UK prioritized 1st doses, what data is there that more vulnerable people died in the UK vs the US during the initial vaccination rollouts in both countries? What data is there that a shorter gap was better, it's not like the companies did various trails for like 1 week, 3 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc; and came to the conclusion that 3 weeks was best. It's like when Fauci said Paxlovid kept him out of the hospital when there's no way to prove that. Whereas, there is data showing myocarditis happens less frequently when doses are farther apart. Marty was on top of it at the very start, he personally told the guy that gave him the first shot that he'll be back in 3 months even though the guy insisted he come back in 3 weeks.
The data used for the big Died Suddenly infographic includes many, many cases of people dying from sudden cardiac arrests caused by things which are definitely not vaccine related, such as drowning in a hot tub. You should probably read the thread.
Yes, but as the saying goes, stupid people don't get colds. I just figured I had a sinus infection, and that fever was just my roommate setting the thermostat too high when I was sleeping, and the chills were because it's cold at 3am in Montana.
I am not a terribly clever person, which is why I rely so much on experts and consensus instead of placing my bets on the lone genius challenging the entire establishment.
Of course, it's common sense that me wearing a mask keeps droplets near and on me instead of on my coworkers. Like, it's *already* covering my mouth
I never said anyone died from the vaccine specifically. I said the vaccine does cause heart issues because it does and myocarditis is a pretty serious thing, it's not something to brush off. It can take people out for months. The chances are pretty high that vaccine induced myocarditis has lead to a very very very occasional death.
Covid is airborne, not droplet based... I didn't go to work in March 2020 because my temperature was normal (98 something) in the morning and didn't feel sick at all. The thing is a normal temperature for me in the morning is very abnormal when I was 94/95 every other morning (as we were required to take our temps in the morning). Hell, a normal temperature for me at any time is abnormal because my normal temp is 97 at its highest. Thus, later that day or the next day, I had noticeable symptoms. If you feel cold (chills) and your skin is warm, that's a fever, it's not like rocket science. You guys think I ignore safety guidelines because I make fun of the safety guidelines that don't do anything, I actually do the safety guidelines that make sense to do like I called off work when I wasn't even sick yet because I had a very strong information pointing towards me about to be sick. Whereas something like being around someone that interacted with someone covid positive is so very weak info to go on to conclude that you should isolate.
Yes, we do, but this is beside the point we're actually discussing right now.
Nobody here said masks alone would be enough to contain the pandemic. You insinuated they did. Just fucking acknowledge that rather than trying to pivoting to other endless diversions, and we can move on.
No we don't, provide that study that says masks do anything... unless there's a super recent well done randomized study of masking, the evidence doesn't exist.
You also insinuated China ONLY still has mask mandates. I'm pretty sure they are still doing several other things like testing and tracing that in conjunction with masks will work according to your guys' fantasy worlds.
