Pro life means protecting life of all ages including the elderly and most vulnerable. There's no hoax here. Why do some accept letting them become infected is not a bad thing?
Have I mentioned that you are a fool with no grasp of the issues you post about?
I haven't mentioned it enough.
Your total ignorance is absolutely astounding. Masks might not be perfect but they are certainly better than nothing. I mean have you never heard the saying, Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good? Oh wait, you probably have heard it, you just don't have the intelligence to understand it.
And I am sorry you don't comprehend basic math. The mortality rate is simply the number of deaths divided by the number of infected. The news broadcasts both those numbers dozens of times every day. Funny you talk about people thinking for themselves and yet you don't have the ability to make a simple math calculation. Actually, I doubt you even got to division in school so it's explainable.
And the claim that "infected" is a stupid statement. Infected is only people that have been tested and the test came back positive. There is no telling how many people have had the Coronavirus and did not get tested. And you are so damn stupid that you don't realize that claiming the number of infected actually is inflated makes those mortality numbers worse. I mean serioiusly. If you want to claim the mortality numbers are not bad you should claim that the infected levels are higher. The fact that you are too stupid to figure that out speaks volumes as to what a total waste of bandwidth your 100,000 plus posts have been.
And the bit about the symptoms are the same as the seasonal flu is just the icing on the stupid cake. Yeah, many of the symptoms are the same, but there is the one, about not being able to breath, that kind of sets the Corona Virus apart. You see, you have to be able to breath to live. Although it is hard to imagine how you accomplish that task with your head so far up your ass.
Here is the thing. I have lost several family members to Covid-19. I will admit, all of them have had other health problems, I think they call that co-morbidity. But that does not negate the fact that they died sooner than they otherwise would have. Honestly, the bit about your head up your ass is a matter of fact. I don't know about you but I got a pretty good picture. But me, my daughter in law is a Covid nurse in a major metropolitan area. She zips people up in body bags and writes "Coronavirus" across it every single day.
But now to you. I used to think you were married to some one that kept you up. I know now that is most certainly not the case. Nope, you are living on Daddy's money, probably hanging out in the basement. You have three or four screens up to watch every lame ass right wing nutjob website possible. You used to have FOX news running 24/7 but you might have gotten pissed at them recently. With unkept hair and salvia coming out of your mouth like a rabid dog, you are madly between posting these ignorant diatribes and consuming some of the worst so called "news sites" known to man. Your entire self worth is dependent upon your fantastical belief that you are superior to everyone and everyone is on the edge of their seat waiting for your next posts. And truthfully, many of the idiots that peruse this sight probably do. But that is more a reflection of their own ignorance than a confirmation of your own inflated ego. I suppose, if nothing else, you are the pearl among swine.
The truth is I pity you. No life, few friends, your entire self-worth based on a lame ass messageboard that consumes an inordinate amount of your time. But at this point, in the current environment, it has became dangerous. Your perpetuation of stupid memes, right wing hack sites untruths and falsehoods, is endangering lives. Somewhere in this country some idiot fool is believing you, and they are going to get the Coronavirus, along with their asthma, or their aphid, or their kidney failure, and they are going to DIE. And what is worse, you don't give two shits about it. You are, to put it lightly, the scum of the damn earth. Totally self-absorbed, and totally stupid, like your idol Donald Trump, you are not only a waste of bandwidth, you are a waste of air.
You're simply a slave.....but apparently a happy slave.....there is the saying 'ignorance is bliss.'
Masks Hide The Difference Between Science And Politics
1.Either the Covid is an actual danger to mankind on the order of the Bubonic Plague, or it is simply one more extensive and well designed plot on the order of these: Russia Collusion of 2016, Obstruction of Mueller, Impeachment, Trump’s a racist, 25th amendment, Stormy Daniels, lies about Charlottesville fine Nazis, phone call to Ukraine, Quid Pro Quo, ‘lynching, one after another lead balloons.
I said they were well designed, if false, and certainly well-populated with every media ally of the Democrats playing along.
2. But let’s focus on production values: what could make everyone fear the Wuhan Red Death more than seeing every other person masked with disease regalia, making the whole nation appear to be an emergency room.
The optics alone cause the image, and there is noting Democrats like better than mandating stuff, anyway.
3. A quick review of the facts: If one gets the Wuhan, the chances of dying from it approach zero….no more than a rounding error in the data. An elderly, overweight President had it, and ten days later is doing two hours-long rallies a day.
And while the Chines flu certainly appears widespread, the symptoms are the same as the usual seasonal flu: “body aches, a cough and headaches, and felt extremely tired most of the time.”
4. How to explain the mandates for masks….if they are ineffective at best? If that’s what science says…..an intelligent person might be led to believe that it is not science going on here….but simply an immense attack on a presidency.
Let’s check:
CDC March 17th.....masks should only be worn by healthcare workers
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
CDC provides credible COVID-19 health information to the U.S.
www.cdc.gov
“In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control-participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public.” That means that the majority who wore mask got the Wuhan. Community and Close Contact Exposures Associated with COVID-19 ...
Dr. Carl Heneghan, University of Oxford, director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and editor in chief of British Medical Journal Evidence-Based Medicine: ‘It would appear that despite two decades of pandemic preparedness, there is considerable uncertainty as to the value of wearing masks.’(https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/masking-lack-of-evidence-with-politics/)
"The Danish Study: Face masks showed no impact protecting wearers against COVID-19
This is the study you won't find on many mainstream media outlets. Rare kudos to the NY Times for publishing it, albeit with plenty of "ya, buts" throughout.
About 4,860 participants completed the study. The researchers had hoped that masks would cut the infection rate by half among wearers. Instead, 42 people in the mask group, or 1.8 percent, got infected, compared with 53 in the unmasked group, or 2.1 percent. The difference was not statistically significant.
“Our study gives an indication of how much you gain from wearing a mask,” said Dr. Henning Bundgaard, lead author of the study and a cardiologist at the University of Copenhagen. “Not a lot.”
Dr. Mette Kalager, a researcher at Telemark Hospital in Norway and the Harvard School of Public Health, was persuaded. The study showed that “although there might be a symbolic effect,” she wrote in an email, “the effect of wearing a mask does not substantially reduce risk” for wearers."
The Danish Study: Face masks showed no impact protecting wearers against COVID-19
Have you heard of the Danish Study on face masks and COVID-19? If you get your news from mainstream media,noqreport.com
Funny you mention ignorance is bliss, and in the very next post talk about being home schooled. Because you fit that description perfectly. You are ignorant, not because of your viewpoints. Truth is it is kind of sad, you reveal the very weaknesses of home schooling. A lack of diversity, a closed mind, and intolerance. The perfect recipe for an asshole. You don't attempt to learn, you already know everything. Your consumption of books, news sources, and the internet is nothing but a pursuit to confirm your already established beliefs. And in your eagerness to inundate yourself with this confirmation bias, you miss simple truths that are staring you in the face.
Take the masks, and the Danish study. If you wear a mask you can still get Covid. Wow, big ass surprise. Does that mean wearing a mask does not protect you from Covid. Honestly, in most cases, it probably does not. Wearing a mask in and of itself is certainly not going to protect someone from Covid. Understanding how the disease is transferred would help one understand the reality. In order for the mask to be effective one would also have to practice extensive handwashing. But most of all, one would have to keep their hands off their face. Most people do not have the self-discipline to do either effectively.
But here is the thing you self-absorbed asshats refuse to understand about masks. You do not wear them to protect yourself against the Coronavirus, you wear them to protect other people. Nothing says I am a self-absorbed asshole who only cares about myself more than refusing to wear a mask. Anyone cited for not wearing a mask should be forced to have a mental evaluation, they probably have NPD. Again, if you understood how the disease is transmitted you would immediately understand the purpose of the mask and the protection it provides.
Now, to your comments about the low chance of dying if one contracts Covid. Looking at the most recent world statistics reveals a mortality rate of a little over two percent. Say, one in fifty. Those numbers are consistent with the US statistics. Drilling down to the state level, in North Carolina it is about 1.5%, in my county, 1.2%. But we have a better health care system than most states, and we have a Democratic governor.
The mortality rate of the seasonal flu has been consistently calculated at .01%. So you would have to get the seasonal flu every year for two hundred years to have the same chance as dying as you would if you got the Corona virus ONCE. That should clearly reveal how stupid comparing the seasonal flu with the Coronavirus really is. The fact that people still believe there is little difference is indicative of that confirmation bias I spoke of. Here is a bit about where this comparison originated and how it has been perpetuated.
Fact check: COVID-19 deadlier than 1918 Spanish flu, seasonal flu (usatoday.com)
And I can hear it now. It's the media the biased media, out to get Trump. Yep, better to believe some damn fool on Facebook than professional journalists. Seriously, can you not see how truly ignorant that shit is?
I never said I was homeschooled: I went to the best universities in the world.
Masks are the accoutrement of the indoctrinated.
Your chances of dying from the Wuhan are noting more than a rounding error.
No one dies from it unless they already had conditions that would have caused death in any case.
But....hey, you're a sucker: would I be correct about that, and this in addition: you vote Democrat.
Wow, doubling down on stupid I see. You flipping didn't graduate from community college. Two percent is not a rounding error. Matter of fact, there are casino's in Vegas that make millions of dollars on that two percent. Yes, some other wise healthy people have died from Covid. There is not co-morbidity in every case of death. Besides, with your type of thinking when you are in the doctor's office and they diagnosis you with stage 4 cancer they should just shoot you in the head and save the medical expenses.
