Covid-19 vaccine

At best, he's trolling. At worst, he's inciting reckless behavior that will almost certainly get people killed. Regardless, @UltraSUPRA should be banned. It's, like, the bare minimum that the GBATemp staff can do at this point. Even that might not make up for some of the nonsense I've seen get reported and slide by lately.

Nope, this is a discussion. Not with feelings but with facts. Ultra might be wrong on a lot of the topics, but he have the right to spew the nonsense.

Yes, I'm sure a poll on a video game piracy forum going a certain way has to do with Putin, looool.

In part, yes. In part it's simply American stupidity that's been festering for decades and has influenced the rest of the world over time. But that also plays to the benefit of both Putin and Xi.

well thats kind of a contradiction

You're demonstrating my previous point about how the site needs to grow up. Inciting behavior that objectively leads to mass death, and acknowledging it, and claiming it's a good thing is not something that should be tolerated. This goes beyond simple political discourse.

It is!

We've yet to see where he claim it's a good point.

He fail to realize that surgent(s) stand with these mask for hours, and they need to to prevent infections in example open wounds. Therefore the proof have always been their that they work to stop droplets to reach said parts of a person.

At this very moment you let your feelings take over. You can put him on ignore so you don't need to see his spew of nonsense if you want.
Costello have told us multiple times to encourage discussions.

But a better question is if now "freedom" is so important. Is it a right? or a privilege?
They share a lot of similarities.

actually I think if anything ultrasupra is convincing people the anti-vax side is wrong. The issue is echo chambers, not discussion.

If we ban people from having real meaningful dialogue then we will just end up in safe spaces where we only hear what we want to hear - and then no one learns anything.

Well let's be clear here: UltraSUPRA did advocate for the deaths of people in general, and the line goes, "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" in that order, so I do think he perhaps crossed a line there. Do I think he deserves a ban? Nah. A warning? Maybe. What the dude really needs is a therapist (as was already suggested), because he's become a nihilist. A common symptom of following the internet's right-wing radicalization pipeline.

He said it's a good thing for millions of people to die in an attempt at herd immunity because it will solve the overpopulation problem.

Oh I agree he would/should get some professional help. But that's just my opinion.

It's an opinion.. a stupid one but still an opinion.

 

[x65943]

to be fair I think he was being ironic, it's why he said "supposed overpopulation problem".

He is trying to use "the libs ideas against themselves"

Far as I can tell he doesn't really believe covid kills people at all. It's why he shared that image showing less people died this year than other years.

changing one's worldview is extremely difficult and painful, he won't change, just because humans really don't. you can link as many sources as you can, they will just ignore them, it's human psychology. no one on this forum will change anyone's mind unless they want their mind changed.

hell, the maga bois literally made a new social media platform (parlor) because reality is slapping them in the face, and they can't accept it, they'd rather leave.

we are not in the position to help indoctrinated people, they need real professional help, and it sucks.

this all boils down to social media, and trump's jonestownesque rhetoric, threats of "civil/race war", fake news don't believe the media, ect.

right, but we wouldn't exactly be a platform for discussion if we didn't facilitate discussion.

Sure he is unlikely to change his mind, but maybe someone on the fence will see the discussion and take something away from it.

Regardless he was following the rules even if we don't like what he said.

I'm going to argue that there are no longer any fence sitters. our society is so polarized, that it makes fence sitting impossible. we have tackled basically every easy problem there is in America, and are now stuck dealing with exceptionally hard/impossible problems(gun control, abortion, forced vaccination, ect).

everyone has picked a side, no one is genuinely neutral, hell centrists are literally a meme now.

Any headaches? Feel any better or worse than normal?

my arm hurts and I feel a little fatigued. Other than that pretty normal.

Reminds me of a flu shot.

 

[Kanakops]

With my long list of allergy I don't think I will be able to take it but maybe one of the 2 others

they told me as long as you have never had anaphylaxis it's fine, but they will watch you for 30 minutes afterwards to make sure you don't have a reaction.

Use of an epi-pen ever is gonna mean no mRNA vaccine for you.

Regardless the traditional vaccine should be approved soon so if you want that you should be able to get it.

Nice one, hopefully things start getting back to normal next year.
