Bold of you to assume that they even believe in light bulbs.

Of course they do, god invented them.

Spreader events are fine when is Obama got it

Obama isn't in government, so I'm not sure why you're obsessed with him.

If Obama had held an event like Trump did, then I would absolutely condemn him as much as I would Trump.

The problem for you of course is that Obama isn't as dumb or arrogant as Trump

Just goes to show you people trust veterinary ivermectin over Biden, Fauci & pharma industry.

Because they are malicious liars.

No, it just goes to show how dumb people are. If you can fool someone into thinking that vaccines make you magnetic, or fool them into thinking vaccines contain bill gates gps trackers, then you can fool them into anything.

My wife works in A&E in the UK. unvaccinated people are now turning up with covid and are now worried when they had months to take the vaccines.

Anti vaxxers are dying and their relatives are talking to the news papers begging people to stop listening to the anti vaxxer lies.

The anti vax movement is just a way of herding the sheeple. They are dumb as fuck.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...protesters-storm-bbc-hq-years-after-moved-out

“Not sure what protesters were hoping to achieve, but all they would’ve found was me, Jane, Nadia and Penny on Loose Women talking about the menopause,” she said.

https://www.indy100.com/news/bbc-anti-vaxxers-lockdown-protest-memes-b1899861

Anti-vaxxers and anti-lockdowners don’t listen to MSM lies. They do their own research. Which is why they end up protesting against the BBC at a building the BBC left 8 years ago


I don't think you can put into words just how dumb anti vaxxers are. They look like they are capable of rational thought, on the face of it they got dressed and can eat for themselves, but they have some specific mental retardation. Similar to the deformity in the brain of people who like donald trump.

Lulz, like anyone who lives in a country with a Monarch and TV licenses in 2021 has any ground to accuse others of being fooled.

Jimbo, your response to @smf is nothing but an ad hominem attack. Smf made a lot of good points, and instead of addressing any of them, you merely discounted them because of where he lives. That should be embarrassing for you, and it should show anyone reading the posts in this thread that you aren't at all interested in having good-faith conversations.

Whether or not you disagree with a particular country's policies, it has no bearing on whether or not an individual from that country is foolish, and it's utterly irrelevant to the conversation.

Not any more ad-hominem than ridiculous claims of why people choose not to use non FDA approved drugs whose principal researcher states they should not be used on humans.

We have an nhs too. You are so foolish that you don't actually know what is foolish or not.

The monarchy is just a rich family that are more slaves to us than we are to them.

TV licenses are bound to go at some point and like brexit it will be a pyrrhic victory.

So yeah, I have 100% grounds to accuse others of being fooled. Because, well, you're fools.

Uh... no, actually. Entirely more ad-hominem than pointing out actual repercussions for people not getting the vaccine. Swing and a miss, Jimbo.

Also, already debunked the "principal researcher" claim earlier, and his statement had nothing to do with covid19 because he was dead before it came about. Strike two~

we are 8 months into Biden and he still does not have this under control i guess he got no plan

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The media has been nonstop hyping every single holiday, event, political rally (but only gop ones) ect, as a super spreader event.

From 4th of july on, sturgis, trump rallies, labor day, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, new years, the super bowl and super bowl parties, easter, labor day... and none have had any validity.
Now we are back full circle and they are hyping sturgis again.
Super spreader is just a buzz word at this point to get clicks.

But it's its okay to have thousands upon thousands of people standing inches from each other most without masks to protest racism, trump, the police, supreme court.
Have thousands of people have a biden dance parties all across the nation in cities in completely jammed packed streets of people, while the virus was raging right after the election, some high ranking democrats even joining them maskless.
These are completely fine and not "super spreader" events even though the vaccine wasnt even out yet.
But any anti-lockdown protests was immediately attacked and called super spreaders.

Even the recent lollapalooza with people packed like sardines with no masks on got almost no attention.
Because Biden is president is ok when it happen when he is president

Except that death rates and significant complications are on the whole lowering, despite reopening more and more since the end of the Trump presidency, and people are going back to work amidst all this. In other words...

To be fair, there is a lot of nuance to this and honestly Biden isn't squarely to blame for the improvement... but he absolutely did more than his predecessor.

The vaccines have been demonstrated to be safe and effective, we are probably only weeks away from full FDA approval, and the fact that the vaccines are under emergency use authorization has nothing to do with the willful ignorance and stupidity associated with the aforementioned microchip claims, etc.

Edit: And you also don't seem to know what an ad hominem is.

At this point the arguments presented by the right are laughable.

If the party is a private event, proper precautions are taken, and at least a majority of the people, including the congress woman herself, are vaccinated, how is the virus going to spread? Next we'll be hearing on TMZ how democrats aren't wearing masks in their own homes. What an outrage.

"But democrats are forcing our kids to wear masks at school!"

Yeah, cuz they know anti vaxxers exist and have no problem sending their unvaccinated spawn to a public school. Not to mention the vaccine isn't recommended for children, more than likely a safety precaution, which means the virus is more likely to spread in a public school than a private event.

Jesus could this be any harder to understand?

I don't see how the complaint is unreasonable if the wedding had multiple guests from different households. During the pandemic people were not allowed to hold wedding celebrations, they couldn't visit their loved ones in hospitals, in some cases couldn't even see them on their deathbeds, or organise funerals and wakes to allow the family to say their farewells and grieve. We don't live under a system that divides people into those who are equal and those who are "equal-er" - when Pelosi had her hair done in a salon, it wasn't a big deal because she was having her hair done, it was a big deal because nobody else could, and salon owners across the country couldn't even open their businesses to the public. I'm not sure what the guidance is in this particular state, however an event for 100+ people who are partying maskless in an area where transmission rates are apparently high seems irresponsible. We already know that the Delta variant's viral load in the nasal passages is pretty much unaffected by vaccination - there's as much of it in a vaccinated as in an unvaccinated person. While those who are vaccinated have a significantly lower risk of contracting the disease, they can still conceivably pass it on if they're carrying the virus on their body or clothing. As a person who firmly believes in the "better safe than sorry" principle I still avoid large gatherings of strangers whenever possible, and I advise others to do the same until transmission rates are under control.

Correct, but as you said, that happened during the pandemic. Here in the states we've been "pandemic" free for a while now, and as long as people take proper precautions, they can live a more "normal" life. Of course, that's also assuming everyone involved at this particular event took the proper precautions, which we may not fully know one way or another. That's a problem of perception, probably another thread entirely.

And for the most part, I don't disagree. I'm fully vaccinated, hate wearing a mask, but I still am cautious about large crowds (and still wear a mask in places where it's warranted) because honestly, people are gross. Covid or not I'd rather stay away from large crowds, and I would advise anyone who isn't feeling good or is unsure about their adversity to spreading to be cautious as well.

I'm all for the idea of getting vaccinated, but the people who haven't so far, I don't think many will change their mind so easily. Some of the adverts I see now online (saw some on facebook), trying to get younger people to vaccinate are so dumb and cheesy - really trying hard in an embarrassing way to appeal to the younger generation, and from reading the comments I was not alone.

Lulz, like anyone who lives in a country with a Monarch and TV licenses in 2021 has any ground to accuse others of being fooled.
lol what did Sweden do to you?
