I did not get the shots and do not regret it

I watched Contagion again the other day. Made in 2011. It was amazing how they represented the anti-vaxxers versus how this shit has actually gone down.

Most anti-vaxxers are relying on anecdotal evidence and pseudo-science as a basis for their opinions. I decided a long time ago to stop arguing with them, and started suggesting they search for peer-reviewed scientific research, instead.

At any rate, most Americans have now either had COVID, the vaccinations, or a combination of the two - and we are as resistant to it as we're ever going to be - so there's no need to argue about it. It is nowhere near as life-threatening as it was.

But this was all built on the backs of an egregious number of folks who died that didn't have to. And no one is remembering them.

While I did the vaxx and COVID thing, good argument could be made that we need a pretty severe reduction in population before this whole thing goes sideways. We are destroying our planet at an alarming rate, and I'm not even talking about global warming or climate change or whatever they call it next. Future wars will be fought over simple resources like clean drinking water and tillable land. We polute almost every major body of water/water source and create enormous landfills full of bullshit we really didn't need. Technological waste is growing exponentially because large tech companies want to sell you new devices each year, and the process for recycling old tech is grossly insufficient.

Don't even start on lobbying and term limits either.

Shits fucked.

Always has been fucked. When has it not been? The next pandemic isn't far off, considering climate change, deforestation, etc. And when that one hits...well, I'd rather be on the side of science than not. A real conspiracist would say that this has all been a warm-up to precondition people for the next phase...when the population is going to be decimated. Guess which side will come through? Not the contributors to idiocracy, I can tell you that.

No...that'd be you. And what do you do all day besides sit in your momma's basement and talk trash all day? 2,700+ posts since Jan of 2021? Bro, go outside. Get some sun. Download a book or 2. You ain't owning anybody but yourself, man.

Tell me you know nothing about viruses or virology without saying you know nothing about viruses and virology. And being up-to-date on peer-reviewed scientific research versus mouth dribbling anecdotal evidence and YouTube videos is not exactly being arrogant.

But you do you, bro. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

According to you 'really smart' people a mask wasn't needed, then it was, then the vaccine prevented getting covid, then it didn't, then everyone who didn't get vaccinated were all going to die in the winter, then they survived.

So no, you were wrong and proven wrong several times.

You aren't smarter than everyone else.

You are just an arrogant, controlling asshole.

And every one of those statements is bullshit, lol. Besides not knowing about viruses or virology, you don't seem to know much about the scientific process and working on available data, either. How some of you people survive on a daily basis is beyond me. Who said I was smart? I didn't. So...thanks for the compliment, brew.

And 5,000 plus posts on a forum for a 20-year old niche game since late 2022? I thought Toxic was bad, lol.

You won't ever need the jab because you never see the light of day or other people, rotflmao. Prolly get your DoorDash delivered with no contact, to boot.
