Casey Finnigan posted:I hope you guys don't jump off the same cliff the rest of the English-speaking world is diving off of If our conservative government had been in power we'd be as hosed as Australia is right now. So far approval of the government and its anti-covid measures seems pretty high, compliance with lockdown is quite good etc. I'm worried that its not going to last forever though, the more hopeless the rest of the world is the more pressure there will be to just give up here as well. At least the government here has quite openly admitted that vaccines aren't the whole answer and aren't super effective and stopping the spread of delta so its nice to see that they're not yet ready to pretend that vaccinations are the only thing keeping us from getting back to brunch.

The idea that FDA approval is finally going to answer the nevervax is real loving dumb and completely ignorant of the entire trump cult history of simply moving goal posts and contortion to make reality to their liking. It'll be poo poo like it was rushed, still no long term studies, kid vax isn't approved yet, etc.

Anti-vax sentiment plays really well in parts of Eastern Europe that still subscribe to Orthodox Christian versions of natural medicine and faith healing. My aunt is unfortunately one of those, and sure as poo poo she and my uncle became chuds once they moved here.

They're not gonna do poo poo cuz they're a bunch of clowns Exactly. Wagging our fingers or looking down on antivaxxers isn't going to change anything. In fact, it might just make them cling even harder to their beliefs. I'm completely serious when I say these people are incapable of being reasoned with, and that we must strategize as such. No reason, no logic, no propaganda will convince them otherwise. Not even faced with death will convince them otherwise. I say all this with sympathy too: they're totally not capable of rational thought about this issue; they've been deeply pilled and there's close to zero chance anyone, even their loved family members, will be able to get them out of it. We do not deserve to live our lives filled with permanent plague because we also live with people who are too pilled to be reasoned with. An actual functioning government would protect us from that, no matter how unpopular it was.

Lenin Stimpy posted:Exactly. You're right but there is a silver lining. They're huge pussies and fold instantly when presented even the smallest amount of force. The reason they have all this messaging about "YA'LL VAX AGENTS GON SEE MY GUN BARREL" is that they have to avoid a police officer forcing them to get vaxed at all costs because they would instantly fold without any resistance at all and the argument would be over.

Lol yeah it's burning up the West LA, conveniently where I live. Oh well back to grocery delivery/pickup. I bought my dog some K9 N-95s too for when it gets even worse since parents love letting their unmasked kids run up on my pooch (realistically the chances are slim but wildfires are year round now so why not).
