What really baffles me is the number of people with whom I work in the medical field who don't want to be vaccinated, and we're supposed to just understand and accept it.

I'm just sayin', if you want to get rid of a bunch of loonies and crackpots, convince them that a deadly virus is a hoax and vaccines are evil.

If we’re singling out Florida for its batshit craziness, bear in mind that it doesn’t so much have a monopoly on crazy people as a law that allows the press unfettered access to the police records, even the really bugfuck ones.

School started here today...bet things get really ugly in a week or so since we (here in TX) are already facing shortages of beds for COVID patients.

Why? Unvaccinated 9-year-old is as immune from COVID as a vaccinated 20-year-old is. That is, basically, completely immune. And, just like vaccinated adults, children are unlikely to spread the virus because they mostly do not have symptoms. Vaccines lower the spread by relieving the symptoms, thus making people emit fewer droplets.

We established a long time ago that you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to COVID.

Go back to writing code.

Every single part of that is wrong. Maybe you should go back to what you do best - creating programming that doesn’t work.

"Asymptomatic spread definitely plays a role in community spread"
Dr. David Beckham is an expert on viruses. He said it’s critical to wear masks because a high percentage of people with COVID-19 can be asymptomatic.

Asymptomatic spread does happen, but it is rare. If it were not rare, non-sterilizing vaccines would not work to slow down the spread of diseases.

That's also wrong
