the mutation is not in the spike protein region, there is no reason to think that vaccines currently being produced will not work, and even if they are not 100% effective, partial matches work as well. look at the yearly flu vaccine, even if the panel is not a 100% match it significantly reduces symptoms and chances of death. you will also notice that people who have been reinfected have less symptoms, just are just as infectious.
So just import Sputnik V.

sure, as well as the oxford vaccine, and multiple others. this is all about biding time until we know they are safe and effective.

it honestly must suck being 15 in this pandemic because of the unfettered misinformation and a huge shift in your life on top of already crazy changes. I'm sure you'll get through it. i was 16 when 2008 happened.

If you're healthy, you don't need a mask. This is my thought.
*sigh* First concept to understand is, that the cloth/surgical masks most people are wearing (because of cost/production capacity), raise your own protection to about 5% (at most), but that of everyone around you by 70-95%.

But if you're healthy, 5% isn't much protection.

Yay, games with inverse logic, that doesnt make any sense!

But if you are not healthy, 5% is much protection?
-

If you meant to say, that if you are healthy 5% is enough protection... rlly?

The argument is, that you are not wearing those masks for you, but for everyone around you. That the system set up only works if you, and everyone else doesnt always think about personal benefit, but about societys as well.

You only spread it if you have it.

What about the saliva tests?
You can get tested and be clear and catch covid an hour later without knowing. Not wearing a mask for your own safety and more importantly your loved ones and everyone else's safety is a fucking dick move.

From who? Somebody who wasn't tested?
Are you really that silly do you not even realize covid survives on surfaces/clothes/cardboard ect ect for up to 48 hours. So it doesn't matter if you are in a room full of people who have been tested and are virus free when someone comes along with it before the test or whatever and coughs on something you then touch.

those eggs are peoples lives, what the fuck. wasn't this whole thread started with the argument that pre-born lives are important and shouldn't be destroyed; but regular lives are ok to just throw away like trash?

This thread was started to cause arguments and somehow validate the OP's weird association between masks and Abortions. The old life of the unborn zygote vs the life of a woman. The OP thinks these things are optional apparently. Also HE thinks it's HIS business what SHE does with HER body. Something tells me that this is a bit more poignant to the OP. I can't think of a woman who would want someone like that to have a baby go full term in HER uterus. Maybe she didn't. Maybe that's where HIS hangup began. Masks are not a choice. STOP POLITICIZING MASKS AND GOOD HYGIENE! What the fuck is wrong with you? Your mask could potentially save thousands of lives. And even if it just saves 1 life,wear it you selfish prick. What if another moron reads this and stops wearing their mask??!? Stupidity is contagious. Stop it.

So the true consistency in the OPS views is that HE thinks HE deserves control of HER body. Because it's HIS choice. Somehow wearing a mask to protect his Grandma and society at large is also his prerogative. These two issues are not choices and he thinks he has a right to choose. Masks are mandatory for a reason. Because we can't rely on the dullards to do what's right! It only take one to spoil the bunch. Not a choice, it's your duty. Abortion is a WOMAN'S RIGHTS issue. Also not a choice for the OP. There's your consistency.

I got a Trump supporting, quarantine breaking friend. Anti-abortion too. Total prick. Should have seen the look on his face when his sister got sick and I pointed out HE is the only one going in and out of her house. Wasn't COVID thank god. She's so sweet. But the thought of him infecting his family changed his tune on masks. I didn't think he had a soul/brain. It was buried under so much stupidity.

These threads must stop. Politicizing COVID prevention is so fucking stupid. Ruin lives through your moronic voting. Leave Grandma out of it, she never did anything to you. Protect your loved ones. Complain all you want. Masks are not a political issue. The only real issue is your politics and IQ. Stop it. You're hurting us.

If you wanna make COVID political start a campaign to put the burden back on the responsible party. Say fuck you to the bastards that started it all. I say we owe China nothing. Our debt is clear. China cost the world it's lively hood. Time to turn our backs financially and collectively and.......

BILL CHINA FOR COVID-19 COSTS.


Much better goal than killing Grandmas and making unwed ill equipped teenage mothers ditch their baby in a dumpster on prom night just so you can exercise your privilege and control. It still fits in to your (racist selfish rich) America first narrative. Concentrate on that and wear your masks. It's your duty, And leave the uteri alone. They don't like you anyway.

So use hand sanitizer.
And even if it just saves 1 life,wear it you selfish prick.
Even if Hydroxychloroquine or Sputnik V saves one life, give it, you selfish prick.

Wearing a mask while in public is a far cry from injecting people with poisons and unneeded medications. Why don't you go drink some bleach? Leave everyone else alone.

So stupid.
Make sure you cover your upper anus while in public. It's will spare us all the COVID, the sight and the smell.

The difference between wearing a mask and wearing clothes is that covering extremities has been a natural human instinct ever since Eve ate the apple.

You use a mask to cover your ANUS was the point. Your upper anus. The one with COVID and possibly teeth.
