"Kids too young to get vaccinated, gently caress you. Teens who want to get vaccinated but your parents won't let you, gently caress you. People with health conditions that prevent them from getting vaccinated, gently caress you, eat poo poo, see you in hell."

Of course, Libs won't see it that way. And Chuds won't believe anything Biden says, so the messaging matters to no one at all, really.


The only conclusion I can draw from their unwillingness to take the necessary steps to save a lot of lives is that they determined it would certainly cause political violence. They'd rather lose the midterms in '22 and the White House in '24 than lose power in a Chud uprising in February or so. I wonder what they would call it. Valley Forge's Revenge? 1776 Part 2?

Or maybe they're thinking the same thing Trump was: "I can let the virus decimate my political opponents."

Gruesome.

without any strategy at all to protect people who legitimately can’t get vaccinated, a real thing that can happen for a while plethora of reasons, the Biden administration is consciously and deliberately allowing them to die. that is monstrous. the Biden administration is murdering people. not just anti-vax fanatics, there are tens of millions of disabled people or people with cancer or children or people in abusive home situations who are being condemned to death. we are going to look back at this as a genocide.
yes
the statement is horrifying as is the inaction of the adminstiration and federal government

Good morning. And thanks for joining us.

Today, Dr. Walensky will give an overview of the state of the pandemic and on new practices that will help keep schools open, and Dr. Fauci will provide an update on the latest science and the importance of boosters.

But before we start, I want to talk about how we should think about this moment.

As we’ve explained in prior briefings, the Omicron variant is more transmissible and our medical experts anticipate it will lead to a rise in cases.

But unlike last winter, we now have the power to protect ourselves.

Our vaccines work against Omicron, especially for people who get booster shots when they are eligible. If you are vaccinated, you could test positive. But if you do get COVID, your case will likely be asymptomatic or mild.

We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this.

For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.

So, our message to every American is clear: There is action you can take to protect yourself and your family. Wear a mask in public indoor settings. Get vaccinated, get your kids vaccinated, and get a booster shot when you’re eligible.

they will continue to do nothing lol

i don't know how you guys go out in public with the full face respirators, i wear an n95 and get looks as it is

I do halfmask + goggles instead of fullface, mainly because I can't afford a fullface. I've worn it every single time I've left my house since October 2020

I really do not give the slightest gently caress what anyone thinks about it, as long as they don't physically assault me

It would be stupid and cowardly to let yourself get airborne HIV-Parkinsons because you're worried that a stranger in public might judge you, who fuckin cares

I hope that seeing me wear a halfmask shamelessly has inspired at least one other person to reconsider their choices and step up their mask game. And if not, oh well, I'm keeping my household safe

i have still yet to see someone else with a respirator irl.

I've only seen two IRL. I got my booster at Costco on a weekend (LMAO) and it was like dick-to-rear end packed full of people everywhere in there. I was wearing an N95 and felt like it wasn't even remotely enough to help me with that many people around. As I was thinking this, two guys in house clothes (sweatpants, pajama pants, huge sweatshirts, etc.) walked by together wearing half-masks. They didn't look weird in them at all. They didn't stand out more than anyone else, except that their masks were larger than those around them. That was the moment I decided to order one for myself when I got home.

I do get second glances, and some of the dicknosers tend to get closer to me seemingly on purpose, but I feel so much better in my elastomeric. I'd also like to think that someone out there is probably seeing me and thinking the same thoughts I had when I saw those two dudes in half-masks: "huh, that's neat, and looks a lot safer than what I've got on."

Same. I'd wear a fullface but loving hell are those babies expensive, as I've lamented in this threa dbefore. So for me it's half-face plus a faceshield and a hoodie with the faceshield tucked into the hoodie so that only the exhaust area of the mask is sticking out from my hood/faceshield, like some lovely DIY hazmat suit. Which it is. Because the failure of our government is so total that I must wear DIY PPE every time I leave my home in order to reduce the risk of dying.

The only risk of death I should face when leaving my house to go to the 7/11 down the street is that I might get hit by a car while crossing one of the two streets involved. Instead I now have to worry about airborne death. And the cars.

Look now they didn't say that it WAS mild, just that it COULD be mild. also that we should absolutely act as if it was mild if we don't have any data to suggest it might be worse. and no you can't use the deaths from all the other variants as evidence. also we have to assume that it will naturally evolve to get less deadly, that's the only possible assumption you can make. if you don't know the exact IFR at which there is selective pressure to become less deadly then we have to assume it is just always getting less deadly.

look just because we were wrong and a million people died doesn't mean that we are going to be wrong again or are wrong now. i'm very pro lockdown but i don't see any reason to do anything yet
