What does any of this matter anymore? The unvaccinated will continue to refuse the vaccine because of what they believe. The virus will continue to spread and kill among the unvaccinated. The virus will also mutate as it spreads through the unvaccinated. There will have to be a new formulation of the Covid vaccine every autumn. Comparatively, the vaccinated will be safe. And the process will repeat itself annually.

Oh, what a comforting thought!

If only it were true.

If only there were no such thing as "fake news."

What goes on in hospitals that’s bad(?)

They're friggin' death traps. They try to do it all, end up doin' less than nuthin', and charge you a pretty penny for the privilege.

Doctors can save you: hospitals can damn you.

You overlooked the vastly greater amount of time that there are no complications from surgery, no nosocomial infections and no iatrogenic untoward outcomes.

Pretty pennies are not delineated by hospitals.

For the beer-virus exposed. The refusenik canps are in the works.


First I've heard.

Not surprisin' at all.


Going to a struck off old quack is one thing, but I doubt if they have the equipment and expertise do deal with some with severe covid symptoms.

They done right by me so far: I'll stick with what works.

not every medic is qualified in public health measures to control infectious diseases.

This is true: take a gander at what goes on in hospitals as an example.
I was a patient in a large hospital two weeks ago and I was favourably impressed with infection control measures they had in place. Public health authorities have a larger remit than hospitals, and have to do with drainage, water supplies, air quality besides checking up on epidemics and notifiable diseases and so forth

When you think about it, we have actually created a perfect environment for a virus; one where it can multiply and mutate freely without those pesky symptoms that incapacitate people. Let's wait and see how taking on nature pans out for us. Political Correctness versus nature. Get your popcorn now...

B, Robot Overlord, I tell you what: you wanna do the hospital, be my guest.

As I say: I'll stick with what works.

You could end up being 'right' for all the wrong reasons. You are still fucked though, either way...

Yes, as I was getting at earlier, to each his own. I have always believed that you and I can agree to disagree respectfully.

We all are: not a one of us won't end up in a hole. It's what a body does on the way to that hole that counts.

Or how quickly they get there. Just don't clog up your emergency department. You wouldn't want to be a hypocrite now, with your 'imaginery illness'.

Wouldn't dream of it. Besides, you mudbloods need them emergency services way more than me.

I've met people who are not vaccinated, and who happily say, "Put me at the back of the line if I have any health issues. It's a risk that's less serious to me than the risk of taking the vaccine."

Hey, why not? If that's how they want it, why shouldn't they be allowed to do as they please? They're adults: they know the risks, and they've made a personal decision about how to weight those. I have no problem with that.
