I see the GoFundMe is up to $15. His goal was $2500. Based on the $4/month he's been able to raise so far, he should have that debt settled in (checks notes) ... 2073.

Holy shit, how did I miss this?

I did too. But it's very much on brand. I don't spend much time on the Lulz board. Maybe I should.

Yeah, I don't think he's a troll. I see the same type of "content" on facebook from some of my high school classmates back in east Texas. They just parrot the talking point of the day, no matter how assinine or nonsensical it is. The irony is extra thick when said nonsense includes something about whoever disagrees with them is 'a sheep'.  Extra points for the 'non-sheep' posting about livestock meds.

Dunno where to put this, but found this kind of fascinating and interesting:

Also anecdotally this is similar to what some of my mormon friends believe as well, to paraphrase one of them:

"We were raised to love god and love our neighbors, and that was the most important commandment. We had a republican president that was the exact opposite of that for 4 years. Anyone who is actually committed to our religion from a legitimately spiritual perspective recognizes that. I think its just harder for older members of our church to let go of their political alliances.

Other than few holdouts, most of their congregations wear masks during service. And most are vaccinated. One lives in Cedar Park and the other is back in Idaho.

the comments about attached to that tweet about how "articulate" and "eloquently" he spoke were pretty fucking cringey.

I don't think the BS he posts is intentional trolling as much as it is simply a reflection of the fact that he is Rocko20-level stupid….and Swam politicized to the nth degree - with no discernible critical thinking skills.

I got a couple of strongly scented candles and started sniffing them every half hour or so in a effort to “re-start” the scent cells or whatever. Read somewhere it might help and about three days later I started regaining smell.  Could have done nothing, but didn’t hurt. 
Isn't someone around here a Scentsy rep? Bet they could cut you a real good deal.

The new talking point on the right seems to be about natural antibodies.  What’s going on with that?  I suppose I could look it up but I don’t want to give my computer AIDS.

Also without looking it up, I’m guessing it’s people who have convinced themselves that they’ve had Covid already and therefore don’t need the vaccine. My parents and sister are in this group. 
 

ETA: I want to be clear, since I’ve mentioned my anti-vaxx sister and my parents several times, that these are not small town, rural, uneducated people. They live in NW Hills and all have post-graduate degrees.  Blows my fucking mind.

My angle, not that you asked, would be press for them to get tested.  "Look, it's in your best interest.  If your antibody levels are good, great!  If it's not, then get the vax."

Probably wouldn't work, but at least it would appear to be in the spirit of fair discussion.

After hayden said he was being routed through London I'm about ready to sign on to the fatwa. 

It's pretty fucking simple. Make a claim and cite your sources. I've been around here long enough to note that he has a habit of doing nothing but posting BS with no supporting evidence or if pushed replies with the flimsiest of citations.

Game on.

And he bails the fuck out anytime anyone points out that 1) most of the people who claim natural immunity to avoid vaccination haven't taken an antibody test, nor probably even know for certain that they had Covid, 2) natural immunity doesn't last, and 3) natural immunity + vaccination >> natural vaccination alone.

Fuck this asshole doing his best to muddy the waters and get people killed.

The NBA player's position is actually somewhat defensible.  I mean, I think he overestimates the risk of the vaccine by a few orders of magnitude, but if one has (a) truly had covid and (b) still shows immune response, I can at least buy into the idea that a decision not to vax isn't 100% stupid.

Maybe 50% stupid or something like that.

When I was in grad school, I tutored athletes.  Football players largely have a reputation for being stupid, but basketball and baseball players are no slouches at stupidity.

So just to be clear, as the put-downs seem to be flying fast and furious here, if someone has:

  • Verifiably tested positive for Covid and
  • Then had an antigen test confirming antibodies

Then you guys are ok if they don't get vaccinated? I do know the science says that the vaccines are more effective than natural antibodies. I also agree that most people who claim natural immunity don't actually know that for certain by any means.  I'm just trying to get a feel for where some people might agree to draw the line that people shouldn't lose their jobs over a vaccine, especially if they don't work in the health field. So if somebody has had a confirmed case, and followed that up with a confirmed positive antigen test, is that sufficient to keep a job, in the general opinions here?

Just to clarify, I'm not asking whether they should get vaccinated or not, I'm asking whether you guys think that someone who has been confirmed tested positive for both Covid and its antibodies, should still be required by their employer to get a vaccine or lose their job?

It may seem like only a slightly different question. But, as some have posted, it's clear that a good number of people are never going to get vaccinated, even to the point of losing their jobs. Others will provide all sorts of fake evidence that they have been, again never ever actually getting vaccinated. So will get exemptions, perhaps religious, and many will never actually ever be required to get vaccinated if they just don't happen fall under such a mandate because of their life circumstances. So I want to keep the topics separate and get an idea for what people here think.
