Yet vaccinations in Texas were way up on Sept 23rd compared to Dec 2020 when there weren't any vaccines.
How is that possible that numbers can go up or stay the same when the number of people getting vaccinated goes way up?
Funny - a few hours ago Texas was super smart for the way they handled it, and vaccinations weren't getting any credit. And then when I point out that Texas actually has done very poorly, especially recently, its now the vaccines' fault.. We know the vaccine works, so this is clearly a governmental failure in Texas.
Texas is around #17-#20 per capita and trending down. No mandates are needed.
Trending down? Texas had a top 5 % spike. How on earth do you see that as good? Do you like sick and dead people? Seriously, you are the absolute worst at this whole logic thing, and that's pretty impressive in this thread. Just going to skip right past your immigration rant, as I'm sure its their fault, you social liberal you
Im talking about vax and mandate and lockdown proponents in general only care about covid, not just in this thread but everywhere. There are many causes of death but only covid matters.
Covid is not a top 5 cause of death most places but it takes precedent over every other health issue. Other health issues are actually being neglected because of covid in many places. For example, cancer screenings have gone way down because of the covid obsession dominating everything. There are stories of people dying because their medical procedure was pushed back because of covid restrictions.
Ok so this again is all direct misinformation. COVID is on the radar because we dont have a finite way of stopping its spread and it can rip through vulnerable communities. You've already had a pro-eugenics stance (again, you claim to be a social liberal).. and now COVID fervor is stopping medical procedures? Not COVID itself, which you also don't think is a big deal and think Texas has done well with.. none of your arguments mix well with the others
Ive heard many mandate proponents saying it's about saving lives. Well if it's about saving lives, then there are a lot of causes of death that are more probable for a healthy person than covid is.
If it was about saving lives, then outlawing fast food in the US and outlawing cars would save many lives. Of course that is not feasible in reality nor should it be.
There were the same amount of overall deaths in 2019 as there were in 2020. I will bet that it will be around the same in 2021. How is that possible in a pandemic?
Today in RGM antivaxx history: After being chided for comparing the vaccine mandates for public spaces and private employers to rape and removing all cars from the road, antivaxxers now pivot to banning fast food. If someone just randomly came up to me and said this, we'd share a laugh at how stupid it is, and move on. You are presenting it as a legitimate argument. I've had to stop typing twice because I'm actually laughing at a grown person typing this with serious intent.
Well like ive said earlier, there is a 1 to 5 percent chance that someone who catches covid will be hospitalized.
What should that number be to stop the mandates and lockdowns in California, New York and other leftist places?
If the hospitals were truly being overwhelmed, then there wouldnt be thousands of nurses and doctors being fired for refusing to take the jab.
Ah, I'll go let my wife know that her hospital isnt really overwhelmed and asking for people to come back who've worked there in the past. It's pretend overwhelmed. Just so you know - cardiac ICU and respiratory ICUs have a finite amount of space and personnel able to use said space. That's whats being overwhelmed. Also to be clear, most "medical personnel" being fired are actually not medical at all. Janitors, clerks, data people make up the great majority. Nurses, who don't really have any special medical insight, are being let go because of hospital policy on vaccinations - at least around here - because they agreed to take vaccines so long as they were FDA approved. There was some initial conflict about emergency approval, but that was removed in August.
So when will the mandates and lockdowns stop? What do the numbers have to be? Who determines it? Even if the number did get to zero, the mandates wont stop. The only way it will stop is if people stop going along with it.
The pharm industry contributed to Newsom's recall campaign so now he is going to mandate that all school kids get vaxxed, even though the covid risk for kids is something like .002 percent. It starts with masks mandates, then lockdowns, people went along with that so they push it further, now adding kids to the vax experiment. The numbers going down doesnt actually matter, more mandates were added, not less.
Well we tried not having mandates in CA for a long time, and it resulted in a jump. When this spike ends, we'll end the mandates again. This whole "slippery slope" argument never actually happens but its constantly repeated by the willfully ignorant.
"It starts with mask mandates and lockdowns..." yeah, and then when the numbers dropped they stopped it. Children, in order to go to public school, have to receive the FDA approved, for children, mRNA vaccine. They can choose the emergency approved mRNA vaccine or adenovirus vaccine if they want, but one of them has gone through all stages of approval. So...
You haven't been right at all in this thread, you understand that right? You've made up sources, pulled bad data, swatted away good data.. people like you literally, I mean literally hold back progress. And I'm wagering its not just with COVID, I'm thinking based on your total willingness to put deliberately false info out repeatedly, that you somehow get off on this nonsense. So I won't be engaging any further, I'm sure one of your similarly dishonest compatriots will quote you if you have a counterpoint that's remotely true or remotely related to the conversation
