Hey, remember when we were worried about murder hornets and the Australian wildfires?

Those were the days.

We'll be worried about Australian bushfires again soon enough.

This whole push towards "natural immunity is the best defence against infection" is real fuckin' weird because in order to get antibodies "naturally" you need to have caught covid already. The secret to decreasing cases is ..... to increase cases????

The other thing I've seen pushed is that the pandemic wouldn't have been so bad if we'd just let kids mix with their grandparents so they could safely pass on covid, which apparently is much safer than getting it at hospital / care homes

I constantly see people wonder why healthcare workers have such bad attitudes regarding covid so I don't think it's weird at all to point out that only a minority actually work in places that handle covid emergency cases vs. a whole world of clinics, labs, etc.

In the context of "How could HCWs look at their dying unvaccinated patients and still not get the vaccine"? Not really. It's entirely possible a HCW spent the entire pandemic without really dealing with COVID patients themselves. Not everyone is an ER or ICU nurse.

Combine that with social media brainworms, prior anti-vaxx tendencies, and/or maybe they're just idiots and yeah.

Implicit in a statement like "doctors and nurses are burning out dealing with Covid patients" is that we're talking about frontline healthcare workers.

Anyway, it's generally not the front line workers who are the anti-vaxxers/denialists but the people more peripherally associated with covid (such as the case for the doctor at the heart hospital).

NY Times filmed a documentary in the most anti-vax community in the US (only 36% vaccinated). At the hospital they filmed at the staff only had a 50% vacc rate.

In that context, sure. But you would hope that folks in that industry would have a better appreciation of how serious COVID-19 is—particularly if they have fewer degrees of separation to experts. Their dismissiveness only brings legitimacy to the denialists.

Once all the people that COULD die from covid DO die, then we don’t have to worry about people dying from covid anymore. It’s so simple!

I think they’re going with the idea of Darwinism and survival of the fittest. It’s like saying you don’t care if people die, without saying you don’t care if people die.

One of the popular conspiracies at the moment is that intubated patients aren't actually dying from covid, it's the respirators that are killing them

You think it's a coincidence that most of the non-intubated patients survive but most of the intubated patients die?? Wake up, sheeple! Correlation = causality, dontcha know!

If it leads to unvaccinated people refusing ventilation, freeing up the ICU bed for someone else, I'm not seeing the problem here.

This is what I dont get. There are still nurses and medical related people not getting vaxed

That is what I dont understand. People TALK. If shittons of people are dying and suffering how are these people still not getting vaxed??

How are they still weighing the risk from vax greater 2 years later?

Found out yesterday that my dad and his girlfriend got the roni from another anti-vax idiot family member who was sick but didn't tell anyone about it before inviting folks over. He's like, "maybe in a year I'll get the vax, this isn't the worst I've felt." I told him to not be a dumbass and get it if he makes it through this. I've known quite a few people that have died from it.
I'm still kinda stunned that after two years of this poo poo. Fucken "maybe I'll get it in a year" what the gently caress. This poo poo drops people his age, especially those with the same chronic health problems. Before anyone asks, he sometimes drives without a seatbelt, too.
At least me and the saner parts of the family are vaxxed.
