Not even sarcasm can escape an irony-blackhole this dense.
Well it makes complete sense. A bunch of people ASSUMING that since we have the science to create real effective vaccines, and have eradicated smallpox and polio for the most part, bringing IMMUNITY and QUALITY OF LIFE to people worldwide, SURELY they would make a vaccine fron these tried and true methods and not spring some highly controversial brand new technology never used before on humans. People ran out and got it- they called it a vaccine and it offers zero immunity! It is not even effective and the virus is not as dangerous as they want it to be. I mean swine flu killed 575,000 people. Where was the hysteria over that? What is the difference?

I think I may be on the verge of on an escalation of a friend that's claiming Gov. Lee of TN passed an order for "camps" for the unvaccinated.

By the way, she believes in Tarot card reading too....when I throw that in her face, that there may put a strain on our friendship.

Well it makes us all wonder- I just wonder how they are going to hide the fact that ( and mark my words) everyone is going to start dropping like flies in about 2-3 years.
/remind me in two years.

…as if the goal posts will not have moved light years by then.

Why would you throw anything in her face? If she is your friend, and she found out some information. Why would they have a camp for unvaccinated? This isn't the Black plague!

Oh I won't have to. It will be obvious. More than obvious. Oh well. It is what it is. People have such a nasty attitude anymore towards anyone else who isn't like them..The first response is sarcastic insult and I am a genuinely caring person. It hurts my feelings and it is undeserved. What gives people the need to be so rude and condescending to another person who is just trying to make heads or tails out of something that DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. When things don't make sense you have to question it all. Does it look like a worldwide conspiracy? Yes. Does that seem totally crazy and bizarre? Yes. Can we trust the media and government? No. Is the vaccine safe, effective and offering an immune response? No. Have they created a vaccine offering technology that eradicates disease like the ones for Smallpox and MMR? No. They did but then yanked it. Are they blowing it all out of proportion? Yes greatly!

So we can meet here for my banquet of crow or a bushel of excuses.

Jordan Peterson has an excellent video which, I think, might answer your key question here.

He touches on key phrases like "immunological disgust" and similar.
Of particular interest and relevant to this thread is what he says at time stamp 1:30 or so:

"If you went around and sampled political attitudes... even around the same country ...the higher the prevalence of infectious diseases, the higher probability of totalitarian attitudes at the local political level."

And what he says around time stamp 3:15 or so is intriguing as well.

The video is very sobering, but enlightening too, and there's a link to the full series of lectures. :thumbsup:

Because she keeps posting BS conspiracy theories, that's why. I did mention she believes in Tarot cards?

I prefer someone to show their hand than hide their intentions. Demonstrations of nastiness, fanaticism, and illogical deductions informs me who I'm dealing with. I make the necessary adjustments to keep it bay.

This isn't about vaccines, politics, etc. You don't act like that unless something's amiss. This is the 'trigger' that brought it forth. But it was already there. They're prone to factions. I don't build bonds with people like that. They're loose canons.

This is preseason Survivor. Don't let them get to you. Keep your head and play your game. :)

You mean you're choosing an escalation. No one is forcing you to do so. Her belief in tarot is immaterial. If her paganism was bothersome she wouldn't be your friend.

No one has a right to take anyone to task over differences of opinion. Irrespective of the subject. You're forgetting the chain of command.

You have authority over those in your home to the measure of agreement.
You may have influence over your family and friends.

But you can't exert authority over anyone who hasn't agreed to your leadership. They didn't pledge obeisance to you. All you can do is share an opinion. They're not obligated to listen or agree.

Verbal standoffs are indicative of people who've forgotten their place. They assume a power that doesn't exist. It's a figment of their imagination. If they wanted to follow you they would. You don't have to twist their arm.

I mean swine flu killed 575,000 people. Where was the hysteria over that? What is the difference?

Source for 575,000 deaths in the US from H1N1?

If that is a worldwide total, the current Covid death toll worldwide is 4.63 million.

"From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus."

2009 H1N1 Pandemic

We (USA) are currently at >637,000 deaths due to COVID in about 17 months. We have seen 37.3 million cases of COVID in that same roughly 17 months. This means that had we had as many Covid cases as H1N1 cases in about a year, there would have been >750,000 deaths.

It is not hard to grasp why Covid is more concerning to most at a comparable death rate in the US of > 750,000 for Covid vs 12,500 for H1N1 in the US in roughly the same time period.

Many might make it to about the 4 year mark but Biden won't be in office then. He will be underground hiding somewhere when it happens because that paranoia will be turning to hysteria as people realize what happened and want answers, justice, revenge, all I know is it will not be pretty. Think about it. Satan will be coming to power soon. He wants to take the population to hell. He cannot stand the thought of even one person getting what he feels should be rightfully his. All that will be left for the most part is those who threaten to gain what he lost- the right to go home. If we can just endure whatever he throws at us- remembering we will only have to go through it once on earth but then never again but if we do not then eternity.
Consider your words marked.

Sorry you feel that way.
How else would I feel? People have logical genuine unpolitical reasons for wanting to wait and people attack them with rudeness without ever sympathizing with their honest concerns. No one says " I can see why that would worry you but..." Or " That is a good point but..." There is no acknowledgement. They dont hear you. They want to attack you personally, your looks, your name, and they hope you die. How is that persuasive? Oh well thanks- Ill just run out and get it now!"
Its not.

“O say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave,
O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave?”

The “Free” are unvaccinated and the “Brave” are vaccinated.

We all belong and are to rely on our differences to unite us because that’s the only way this Nation has ever functioned.
