Herd immunity is not a strategy, it is a biological fact

Yea Jim just like 2016.

You're making fun of my recollection of history?

Have democrats not been saying since November 2016, that Russia played a role in Trumps win? What's the evidence of that, exactly?

And did democrats not spend years trying to undo that election? Various witch hunts? Tax returns, russian collusion, quid pro quo? Endless claims that he was an illegitimate president? Democrats and media talking heads didn't call him illegitimate for the whole term?

Instead of simply saying my recollection of history is wrong, why not go a bit further and show us? What did I say, which didn't happen?

Well, when “winning the internet and owning the libs” is dependent on belief and support of a corrupt demagogue, you’re in a tough spot.

Jim is going down with the ship, defending the indefensible and convinced nobody could have done more. I’d say nobody could have done worse, not a single candidate on either side, which is why this country kicked his sorry good for nothing arse to the curb.

i didn’t defend trump. i merely asked for an example. only a group of guys who all share unsupported beliefs would criticize me for asking for an example.

“i’d say nobody could have done worse.”

ok. then tell me what you suspect biden would have done better, exactly? last spring we were shut down, everyone was wearing masks, we worked to ramp up testing and vaccines and protective gear.

give me specifics? accurate specifics if it’s not too much to ask?

i think trumps tone was waaay to casual early on, but in practical terms, i don’t see that it mattered much. the policies he enacted indicate plenty of urgency. enough so that cuomo and newsom each praised trump for helping their states.

GS, what would you say about cuomos policy of forcing nursing homes to admit covid positive patients? long after we all knew that it targeted the elderly?

or pelosi and diblasio saying in late february that it was safe to go out in crowded public places?

lemme guess, trump made them
do it.

A record 3,157 Americans died yesterday from covid-19, meaning that more than 1 out of 100 of our pandemic fatalities occurred in those 24 hours.

Meanwhile, a deranged Trump soothes his wounded ego by spreading insane, destructive lies about the election he lost.

Touched by Trump’s tweet this morning honoring the lives lost in Pearl Harbor on this date and admitting we are now losing more Americans every day than we lost in those attacks due to his lack of morals and leadership.
Just kidding, he tweeted about himself and attacked Kemp.

Left, middle or Right. pointing fingers is not going to keep you safe from the global dominators. There is more to this virus than you know.
listen to this guy and see if he makes any good points, when you put everything together that is going on you will get the picture. If you don't want to think for yourself, go ahead and continue to be a manipulated useful idiot sheep.

one sheep clearly isn’t thinking at all


Same guy who said it’s lab made in February

James Lyons-Weiler. We’ve met him once before on this blog, when he attacked a study that found that autism is primarily genetic. In brief, he’s a former scientist. (I say “former” because he has abandoned good science in favor of antivaccine pseudoscience and no longer rates that title in my estimation, given the sorts of antivaccine pseudoscience he’s published

So we're manipulated useful idiot sheep because we don't want to think for ourselves yet you are telling us to watch someone who will tell us how to think? 🤣

I chuckled today because during the NBC Nightly Lester Holt was talking how we can get toward Herd Immunity.

The gaslighting is actually quite amazing.

[Got Stripers]

My sister the biggest hypochondriac and anti vaccine person I know would love that, personally I will go with real science and be happy to roll up my sleeve when I can get one.

The irony is my sister who won’t even get a flu shot is always complaining about being sick.

You know the fringe groups on this are Adopting a strategy of natural herd immunity or Aka let the Virus run it’s course .. It’s criminal and it’s unethical,” we are seeing how well that’s going
Aka slipknots you tube guy the anti mask crowd anti lock down folks

And medical based professionals who clearly see that idea as. It’s criminal and it’s unethical,” and suggest herd immunity can be reached thru mass vaccination social distance and Masks reduces transmission and then Herd immunity could possible occurs I stress Could because their is no science to suggest it’s out come is certain


so how is Holt Gas lighting because I listed there are 2 distinct roads to possible herd immunity which one was he speaking

Because Republicans plan of doing nothing clearly is doing nothing to slow the spread of Covid

And this is why many area who were against Mask because it was an infringement on their Right (BS)

Are now being impacted by Covid and are saying WTF , maybe we need to re think this

The Pres. said:

'You develop immunity over a period of time. And I hear we're close to 15% [of Americans], I'm hearing that, and that's terrific, that's a very powerful vaccine in itself,' he told reporters on Tuesday.


280K deaths "terrific"

You can't assume trends from one example, but my sister in law tested positive last summer, and just tested positive again last week. She's an ER nurse. Maybe she was one in a million. Or maybe there will be no herd immunity as the strand changes slightly...

Trump said it is “terrific” that 15 percent of the population has been infected with COVID (we were at 11.7% as of Nov. 28, per CDC). He meant that as a suggestion we’re getting towards herd immunity, which would be around 70%. So, clearly, not close and very much not terrific

My niece is a nurse also but in the Nicu. Brave people (along with anyone who works on the front lines). Tell her when people hear she is a nurse they say how brave they are. I tell my niece things like that all the time.

My brother knows one person who had it twice. Hopefully, there aren't that many.

I think a lot of people lump together the terms Covid 19 and Coronavirus and that causes some confusion. When you get tested they are testing for the presence of the coronavirus, not Covid 19. Covid19 is the illness that people develop from the virus. Covid 19 is from a diagnosis, not a test.

IMHO people can probably be testing positive multiple times for its presence but their immune systems fight it off pretty handily, hence the amount of asymptomatic people.

Just my 2 cents
