It’s dumb, and it applies to all anti vax, COVID or otherwise.

What is your take on this vaccine podcast?

Pretorian

7/13/21 7:33pm

Hahahaha they lose me at “ivermectin is more safe and effective than the vaccine.”

Virginia Ute

7/13/21 7:35pm

Why? They act like it’s totally safe?

Pretorian

7/13/21 7:38pm

Safe? Usually. Effective? Not so much

I never looked into the claims that ivermectin is what helped India and Mexico earlier this year when they were all the

Things went horribly in India

7/13/21 7:45pm

And then got better, right? Why? The podcast suggests it was due to ivermectin use. Was that the case? I don't know.

SpiffCoug

After more than a million people died

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 7:56pm

Right. But what did they do to stop millions from dying, unless there are still millions of Indians dying? Did they do

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 7:58pm

The disease hits in waves it followed that same pattern in India. Eventually it

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:03pm

Ok. So India did nothing?

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 8:04pm

They burned a lot of corpses

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:05pm

Oh, so burning the corpses is what stopped their wave?

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 8:06pm

You think it was ivermectin that stopped their wave? Lol.

Virginia Ute

7/13/21 9:20pm

Lol. No. I was asking if that is what it was as was claimed in the podcast, and if it wasn’t that, what was it?

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 9:43pm

“Available hosts” there are plenty of people still in India… the question is

With the shutdown those people weren’t interacting

Charles Darwin

India was locked down from the beginning

From 2020 until now? No.

It’s insane that people are arguing India as an example of what to do

New York’s First Wave started at the beginning of March and was over by the end

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:21pm

So they did nothing. The virus did what it's going to do. All mitigation attempts are meaningless. The only thing that

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 8:10pm

They shut their country down

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:13pm

And they shut it down last year. So it looks like, all they "accomplished" is showing that only the vaccine can combat

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 8:16pm

Real shutdowns end the wave

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:17pm

Which isn't a feasible solution. Should have added that qualifier. Vaccines are the only feasible/realistic action

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 8:20pm

They even shutdown construction crews. Door to door salesmen were essential here

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:23pm

When we were getting slammed here people were telling me we should lock

Pretorian

7/13/21 8:37pm

Look at how different countries have faired depending on their response. Not

Jstak17

7/13/21 8:20pm

Fair enough. Ending international travel EARLY and never really reopening it can help as well.

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 8:25pm

Or we could choose to vaccinate. Let’s go with that.

Charles Darwin

7/13/21 8:27pm

Yep. Is the Only thing that has both worked and is feasible.

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 9:44pm

Look at California vs Florida…. Not much difference

Pretorian

7/13/21 8:41pm

Looking at different states isn’t going to tell you much. Because culturally

Jstak17

7/13/21 8:54pm

Completely untrue, Cal was locked down with a lot of people who were 100%

Pretorian

7/13/21 8:59pm

Things were different. But people gathered in California. Not withstanding

Jstak17

I believe the virus is an incredibly small and spreads primarily through the air

Pretorian

I agree that the disease wasn’t spread much through large groups. But clearly

Jstak17

7/14/21 9:56am

I have not tried to convince others not to get the vaccine, only asked questions

I think Weinstein is super smart, but he is dangerously close to a full-on anti-vaxxer.

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 7:37pm

I’d definitely say he’s an antivaxxer

Pretorian

7/13/21 7:43pm

I'm still differentiating COVID anti-vaxxers with all anti-vaxxers. I'm not sure where he stands on other vaccines, like

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 7:45pm

Why differentiate? It's the same logic and same idiocy.

Virginia Ute

7/13/21 7:49pm

Except the covid vaccine is the first from mRNA and has zero history

Pretorian

7/13/21 7:51pm

False.

Virginia Ute

7/13/21 9:20pm

True

Pretorian

7/14/21 6:28am

Because people who aren't getting the COVID vaccine have gotten their children the "normal" set of vaccines.

SpiffCoug

7/13/21 7:52pm

It's a (dumb) way of thinking.

Would you say the same thing to people who refused to take the 1976 Swine Flu

SEUTAHCoug

I have. And the mRNA vaccines are not associated with GBS the way the 76 vaccine
