Vastly, vastly more disabled longterm with profound life-altering longcovid. I did not die post-virus age 10, developed what today would be

No, they are saying they got *a* virus that didn't kill them, but left them damaged their whole life. Enough bad shit existed before Covid.
I was 10 when I got ill. It's been several decades.

When you got what? Are you saying there was a strain of Coronavirus that humans were susceptible to decades ago?
Around 1/4 of those with coronavirus symptoms at 1mo have a pattern of symptoms that is identical to those found in other post-viral

There have been Coronavirus strains for decades (possibly longer). SARS-CoV-2 is just the newest flavor. SARS/MERS are other Coronaviruses.

That’s what they did before the vests. There is also a manual machine that you move from place to place.
I’m almost 40 and I had completely forgotten until I saw the video. Crazy how you suppress that stuff. I was 3 at the time.

"Think" you've "heard", or maybe it's something else. Now this is the kind of quality information you need to spread in a crisis.
NotWelcomehere
This is an extreme reaction to someone being cautious with their wording.
1. If they don't know, they shouldn't talk. 2. Same with you. "Extreme"? That's an extreme word to use for something that wasn't extreme.
So you know everything you know 100% and have no doubts or qualms? Ok then. You are 1 in 7 billion + good for you.

No, they're doing it b/c they believe conspiracy theories mainly. Hasn't been a case of mania this large since the Japanese Americans in WW2
Akurei00
Those in charge are adopting conspiracy theories as a means of fear mongering and control. Not because they believe them.
I never said anything about those in charge.

Actually a mutating virus caused this. Many are kids who cant get vax and many others who did get vax. Be angry. But its not 1 thing.
SepiaSkies
Do you think the virus mutates in mid-air? The more bodies it’s in, the more replication, and the more mutation.
Hmmm...exactly what i posted above "a mutating virus". Ty for that!
Copperbrat
And who do you think provided the vessels for the virus to mutate?
All tge thing it lives in. As proven by thise of us that are vaxxed and still get it. I never said ppl werent carriers. Idiot
LicensedToChill007
A bigger issue is that even vaccinated people can still transmit the virus. Anti-maskers, though? Well that's just plain stupid!
Only people with breakthrough cases are likely transmissible so the rate of infection among vaccinated is far lower than unvaccinated.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/19/jabbed-adults-infected-with-delta-can-match-virus-levels-of-unvaccinated
Most were predicting that a vaccination rate of 65-70% would be sufficient to stop the spread in a population. It will need to be higher.
The key word in the article is "if infected". Most people who are vaccinated don't get infected.
Vaccination reduces the transmission rate. The problem is that it is likely not enough to eradicate it without a much high vaccination rate.
duhitspollo
Might as well legalize abortion, if you're going to let people die like this
CatSingularity
if you allow abortion you cant capitalize on all the health problems the child will have
Oh shit. That's deep. Not only that, corporations can't capitalize on that child's future labor
Not enough suffering with that option, remember the cruelty is the point.
So, we have Mike Tyson do the abortion
That's the hardest I laughed today, +1 thank you for that.
Yes! Wasn't sure if that joke would come across lol
Pheynx
The parents that are anti Vax and allow this to happen need to go to jail.
It's not all the parents, some counties and schools are being assholes forcing kids to take their masks off and require them to show to 1/2
School else the parent gets punished / severely fined for negligence.
thelovelymrscerealkiller
I know. My daughter, 4 years old is in texas lol. I know other moms are not pleased too, but when you see parents not allowing kids to wear
masks, you have to ask yourself why they couldnt just take a step back and worry for their kids health for just a moment.
I have two little girls under 4 years old and my husband is a respiratory therapist. After a year and a half of following the rules...im so
disappointed in other moms.
whysomuchdoghair
A group I follow has a heart warrior baby, and the dad just tested positive for covid. They are not vaccinated
They have a 4 month old with several heart conditions AND are walking around unvaxxed around others in children's hospitals. No words.

So you know everything you know 100% and have no doubts or qualms? Ok then. You are 1 in 7 billion + good for you.

There’s the 80/20 rule, 80% of the public will follow the rules and 20% will rebel.
lljkstonefish
The 80/20 rule actually states that 80% of interpretations of the 80/20 rule are unlike anyone else's and my dick is 20" long.
joot
Less than half my state is vaccinated.
Akovsky
You had faith?
nbaker1024101
I agree
TechnoPsychoBabble
I swear they're doing this so they can say Biden did nothing to improve the covid response in America
SeePriceInCart
Wouldn't surprise me, I've heard people ask what did Obama do to prevent 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina when he was president.
OlderWiser
No, they're doing it b/c they believe conspiracy theories mainly. Hasn't been a case of mania this large since the Japanese Americans in WW2
Akurei00
Those in charge are adopting conspiracy theories as a means of fear mongering and control. Not because they believe them.
OlderWiser
I never said anything about those in charge.
Sandyundertones
If you think that is the case, you haven't been paying attention? Remember the AIDs crisis? Satanic Panic? This is nothing new.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
Those were just warms up for this.
OlderWiser
I didn't say it was new. I did say it's bigger. I will add I know some highly intelligent people who believe the BS. Makes me sad.
Sandyundertones
Personally, I think you are underestimating the size of previous things, but I could be wrong
Winstitutionalized
It really seems like it.
PajamaStripes
They're doing it bc they're stupid, but they're still gonna blame Biden.
kaspar14
They'll just say some stupid shit like this is just more "fear porn" from the mainstream media and call us sheep for listening to experts.

Actually a mutating virus caused this. Many are kids who cant get vax and many others who did get vax. Be angry. But its not 1 thing.
SepiaSkies
Do you think the virus mutates in mid-air? The more bodies it’s in, the more replication, and the more mutation.
qixx23
Hmmm...exactly what i posted above "a mutating virus". Ty for that!
Copperbrat
And who do you think provided the vessels for the virus to mutate?
qixx23
All tge thing it lives in. As proven by thise of us that are vaxxed and still get it. I never said ppl werent carriers. Idiot

A bigger issue is that even vaccinated people can still transmit the virus. Anti-maskers, though? Well that's just plain stupid!
Sandyundertones
Only people with breakthrough cases are likely transmissible so the rate of infection among vaccinated is far lower than unvaccinated.

Sandyundertones
Most were predicting that a vaccination rate of 65-70% would be sufficient to stop the spread in a population. It will need to be higher.
Sandyundertones
The key word in the article is "if infected". Most people who are vaccinated don't get infected.
Sandyundertones
Vaccination reduces the transmission rate. The problem is that it is likely not enough to eradicate it without a much high vaccination rate.

Might as well legalize abortion, if you're going to let people die like this
CatSingularity
if you allow abortion you cant capitalize on all the health problems the child will have
duhitspollo
Oh shit. That's deep. Not only that, corporations can't capitalize on that child's future labor
CatSingularity

Not enough suffering with that option, remember the cruelty is the point.
duhitspollo
So, we have Mike Tyson do the abortion
treosfnb
That's the hardest I laughed today, +1 thank you for that.
duhitspollo
Yes! Wasn't sure if that joke would come across lol
Pheynx
The parents that are anti Vax and allow this to happen need to go to jail.
theedragonlady
It's not all the parents, some counties and schools are being assholes forcing kids to take their masks off and require them to show to 1/2
theedragonlady
School else the parent gets punished / severely fined for negligence.
thelovelymrscerealkiller
I know. My daughter, 4 years old is in texas lol. I know other moms are not pleased too, but when you see parents not allowing kids to wear
thelovelymrscerealkiller
masks, you have to ask yourself why they couldnt just take a step back and worry for their kids health for just a moment.
thelovelymrscerealkiller
I have two little girls under 4 years old and my husband is a respiratory therapist. After a year and a half of following the rules...im so
thelovelymrscerealkiller
disappointed in other moms.
whysomuchdoghair
A group I follow has a heart warrior baby, and the dad just tested positive for covid. They are not vaccinated
whysomuchdoghair
They have a 4 month old with several heart conditions AND are walking around unvaxxed around others in children's hospitals. No words.
thelovelymrscerealkiller
That is incredibly sad. D:
whysomuchdoghair
I know. I couldn't believe it. She said "she's probably already sick but making antibodies so the baby probably won't get it"
