The profound meme thread.

I've "wrestled" with a fair number of women. Some of them I'd hate to have faced in an actual wrestling competition. I'm big on willing women. I was pretty strong in my youth (deadlifted 325 pound engine blocks (no handles), and lifted automatic transmissions and installed them, alone), and could put over 100 pounds over my head and hold it while the weldor got it on with the torch to weld it in place. In fact, that's how I got a hernia. When holding that furnace (in this case) up, the kitchen chair I was standing on collapsed (we had the best of equipment...not) and I landed flat-footed on the floor. And I didn't drop the furnace. I'd probably have been even more damaged or killed, if I had dropped it.

Guys? Thoughts?
I understand she's poking fun but what she's really saying is, you don't need to get vaccinated, it's just that every time you go out
you unnecessarily play Russian roulette with a 1% chance of dying. Yeah. Why not. Get that adrenaline pumping!

She’s a whacko xian. gods on her side and if god wants her to be 1% then she’s probably honored.

The problem with that logic is that a lot of bad things can happen to you short of dying. Death is only one of the outcomes. Many people suffer disability long after any critical phase of covid. And spreading infection means more suffer in absolute numbers. The 99% survival is of people infected; the more people infected, the larger the number of deaths.

Only 1% dying is 3 million, in a population of 300 million. Most people don't think that hard, though it really isn't hard at all.

Well, at least they don't need a meme to get their heads exploded.
