Immunity only lasts like 3 or so months. That Works posted:Herd Immunity will work great after we lose about 2-4 million people! Immunity only lasts 4-6 months. Turns out the novel virus is novel

Naramyth posted:Immunity only lasts like 3 or so months. That's actually not true. There was a big scientific paper a couple of weeks ago that much of the press misquoted. I think I covered it already itt and definitely in discord. Basically the paper showed that we are certain you have immunity up to 3 months and beyond that it's not statistically certain (yet). This doesn't mean that immunity falls off it just means that the data isn't conclusive either way.

They also found one guy who got reinfected after 5 months and people are interpreting that to mean everyone will get reinfected after 5 months. The paper’s authors are busy trying to clarify that they think it’s an extremely rare phenomenon at this point.

The paper’s authors are busy trying to clarify that they think it’s an extremely rare phenomenon at this point. Yep. Given the sheer numbers of cases and the number of tests done vs the number of potential false positives if reinfection was occurring to any meaningful extent it's almost statistically certain we would have seen it many times now. Instead before that case all incidents (that I know of) presumed as reinfection were later chalked up as inconclusive or as due to a false positive in one of the tests.

A lot of the problems of the past 9 years were either during full-blown federal Republican blockades or poo poo that couldn't have been predicted, like the Supreme Court basically gutting the Voting Rights Act. Basically, a ton of terribles were locked behind thousands of doors, and Democrats left a bunch of them unlocked. It still required Republicans to open those doors and I blame the people opening the doors.

ASAPI posted:I keep revisiting this issue in my mind often. At first I was very suspicious of what the military would do. Do you remember when Mattis, Mullen, and other former big wigs all started releasing statements earlier in this year? When I read those statements I got the feeling that there were multiple audiences intended. The military audience was given a message of "be on the right side of history when poo poo hits the fan with this one". I would like to believe that the guys on the line, or at least commanders were able to reach the same conclusion. As Beau says, know your neighbor. Those are the people who you will need to work with and worry about when poo poo hits the fan

Insisting that the Southwest border reinforcement be a thing despite no budget for it. Which in turn slashed all the west coast facilities budgets by 90 percent for 3 years so money could be found to fly concrete barriers from the east coast to the border and pay to feed “deployments” of active duty troops to stand posts without loaded weapons because they don’t actually have authority to do anything other than advise and assist.

That was really bad, hostile foreign power putting bounties on troops and the president being fine with it seems like it should have been a much bigger issue. It's oddly specific which issues will get through to chuds and make them rethink their worldview. I knew a guy who had no idea Rush was making 9 figures to run his radio empire and that gave him pause. The guy apparently thought it was a NPR situation or something and Rush was only in it to tell the truth and lived a middle class life.

I stopped following Doctrine Man around this time because his page is completely unmoderated and any of his posts even remotely political get tons of posts by chuds. Not sure how many were actually military though, I think a lot of them were just right wing poo poo heads.
