Actually that is incorrect - remember heard immunity. Here's the reasons I ***** about the "anti-vax" crowd:

1) It's another demonstration of the rejection of science, facts, data, which IMHO endangers us all and impedes human progress. mRNA for example is here to stay and (IMHO) presents all sorts of opportunities to cure/treat disease.
2) Sometimes it's just too easy to pass up on. Especially when we're talking Covid and the abundance of information available. It's just too easy to poke all sorts of holes in the anti-vaxxer narrative.
3) The dishonesty coming from the "anti-vax" crowd who pretend their decision is rooted in science, VAERs reports, data, etc, when clearly it isn't.
4) The dishonesty coming from the "anti-vax" crowd who pretend the (mis)information they are providing is just prevent people from taking a dangerous vaccine, when the vaccine isn't dangerous.
5) Pisses me off when people take things out of context. Gets under my skin when people present 1/2 the facts in an attempt to misled the audience. With no context or just some of the facts, Rittenhouse is just a little fuccwad armed with an AR shooting innocent protesters armed with skateboards and plastic bags. With context, Rittenhouse was clearly acting in self defense.
6) Misinformation campaigns also piss me off. Ie the BLM movement's misinformation campaign led to riots and death. If you really want to blame somebody for the Rittenhouse shootings, how about blaming those that spread BLM's misinformation ultimately creating the situation that Rittenhouse, et al found themselves in.

I disagree - I am not trying to convince anyone to take the vaccine or not take the vaccine. There is no spreading of misinformation. If you are fully vaccinated and or boosted, you are covered, correct? If you get near someone with COVID, it doesn't matter if THEY are vaccinated or not, they still have COVID. What I am saying is that YOUR level of protection is the same against either one of them. So what do you care if they are vaccinated? COVID is going to affect your body how it affects your body.

Are we all supposed to believe that all these people pushing the vaccine, complaining about the un-vaccinated are just concerned about our well being? They just want us to live and be healthy? Hogwash. If you feel you need to be vaccinated then have at it. There is no need to concern yourselves with the unvaccinated once you have vaccinated and boosted yourselves. Unless you don't actually believe in the vaccine. I could see people complaining about the non vaccinated then.

I am not vaccinated and I have had COVID twice. The second time I was unaware that I had it until I was tested during a visit to urgent care for an unrelated incident. They said I had COVID. No fever, no loss of taste, no loss of smell. I had a slightly runny nose. I took care of that with tissue. Are we saying that the majority of Americans are so unhealthy that without the vaccine, COVID will kill them? At this point, I am riding it out and seeing if I last longer with my natural immunity than you folks with your concoction of various vaccines and boosters.

It's not that I care if you are or aren't vaccinated. Have I once posted that anybody should get vaxxed - no. Have I posted that I'm anti-mandate - yes. I do take exception to is spreading misinformation whether it's Covid, Iraq & WMD, Rittenhouse, BLM, etc.

I'm not saying you are. It's hard to speak to or in the third person on a forum lol.

Trumps plan was the virus would disappear. Just like he said.

Like a miracle. By Easter.

When you think 2% of hundreds of millions is an insignificant number, something bigger is happening all right.
It’s called “doing anything possible to ignore reality”.

People bltching and moaning, putting stickers on gas pumps and painting “Fvck Biden” on their cars because of a few cents in extra gas costs in the short term, but hundreds of thousand of dead US citizens is “insignificant”.
Fvcking idiots, the lot of ya’.

If people wanna put fck biden on their cars...it's their right...why does somebody expressing themselves on their personal property bother you...

Point missed. Completely.

When it’s the same people that consider hundreds of thousands dead as “insignificant”, I have every right in the world to be bothered. Willful ignorance bothers me.

And if they don’t want to be judged, then they shouldn’t make public displays of their stupidity.

So you took this literally? When he said it would disappear. You didn't take it for what it was? You didn't assess the situation, you didn't use any critical thinking or common sense? You just took it literally? Never once did you ask yourself "How can Trump know if it will disappear"? You just said, I will take his words literally? When someone says they can sell a catsup popsicle to a person wearing white gloves... you take that literally? When Tommy said he could get a good look at a steak by sticking his head up a bulls asss... you took that literally? When your ex wife said she loved you.... you believed her. Hmmm, you may still need some learning there left field.

Oh no, no Rob, but it isn't that. A few cents in extra gas cost? It's more than that, let's not downplay it Rob. It's everything costing much more than normal. Sometimes much, MUCH more. A used car that would normally fetch $2,500 now costing $5,000-$7,000. A pound of hamburger that would cost $4.49 now costing $6.98. A house that would normally cost $700 a month to rent now costing $1,600 a month. Everything from energy to water to food to gas to rent.... EVERYTHING has risen in price Rob. A few cents in gas... is more than 100 a few? Because gas is still more than 100 cents more expensive than it was in Jan of 2021. Diick.

Add the context of Trump making the claim publicly while saying “we’re fvcked” behind our backs.
Add the context that the same people who are claiming Biden made a literal promise but Trump should not be taken literally.
Add the context that Trump actively turned this political in an attempt to divide.
Add the context that Trump almost died from the virus and then still acted like the virus was a nothing-burger (doesn’t EVERYONE have a helicopter to fly them to get the best medical care with cost-no-object measures to keep them alive?).

So which is it? We take them both literally, or we take them both figuratively? Can’t mix and match.

So if you are in a packed movie theater and yell fire!!! Are the people going to get panicked? Yup, they sure will. Trump said what he said so as to not panic America. Use that brain you claim you have. Biden on the other hand is just old and stupid.

I know math isn’t your strong suit dude, but I’m talking over TIME. Even at its high point this year, gas is cheaper actual cost than it was in MANY past years.

As for other expenses, those have gone up pretty much every year, forever. Are you saying Biden is at fault for the existence of inflation?
And, do you understand all the other factors of the economy that occur with and around inflation, or do you just choose that one metric to judge the big picture?
