The old addage of "follow the money" is why this shit is being peddled. High IQ, educated holier than thou ivory tower asshats that tout White Goodman's "we're better than you" mantra need to learn the difference between being a parrot and knowing enough to know that you really don't know enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glnqzfPNEzM


So because they're not contagious we shouldn't focus on them as much? I disagree as IMO the societal damage these things do to not only family members but the community at large. The media isn't clamoring all over these things because they haven't yet figured out how to monetize them.

This we 100% agree on.

JD, I haven't been exposed to a more vile pile of nasty spew since wandering around Berkeley University on a Saturday night in the early 1990's. I really can't tell if you're honestly trying to make a joke or believe what you posted. Oh, and thanks for calling me a right-wing goober; it warms my heart. Yes, some of my views are right-wing while some are left wing.

BB, I agree that the numbers are looking better but that doesn't answer my question. Why haven't you jumped on the "we need to rage against the cancer or heart disease machine" bandwagon? One family member and four friends have dealt with covid-19. I know many more that have dealt with cancer and even a handful that have had heart attacks. IMO heart attacks and cancer have fucked up more people than covid-19 but because the media hasn't focused on it society as a whole hasn't jumped on the bandwagon. My best man at our wedding had a heart attack about 5 years ago. He took a couple months off work at a time when he was critically needed. He is restricted for the rest of his life from doing anything physically significant such as wrestle with his dog or go salmon fishing.
Fallacy of relative privation.

Do you really need it explained to you that it's okay to focus on more than one thing? Do you really think that, for example, we should focus 100% or even 50% of our resources on breast cancer over other cancers because it is the most common type of cancer?

There are enormous resources dedicated to heart disease and cancer but these are extremely difficult problems to solve, their solution essentially requiring mastery over mortality.

Stopping covid only means being as competent as a society like Korea or any other country that is managing this. Put on a fucking mask Karen.

There's also covid being new. It gets more attention because we haven't accepted it as our normal reality, in comparison to obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Also masks help reduce disease transmission. The issue is still whether or not to wear them. You should. Saying that these diseases also exist just diverts attention from the fact that you should wear a mask.

I don't agree with the anti-mask perspective, but I don't think that's a reason to exclude them from the discussion.

Their attempt at fear mongering is backfiring on them in their own thread. I like it this way.

I'm 2% Jewish. That's probably the ideal amount, and I've thought about it a lot. Like if the Nazis or the Post-Titus Romans take over, I'm probably safe. I might be restricted who I can date, but I don't care, I'll use the shatnez NSDAP sock instead of the kadash one I'm currently using.

On the positive side, I can claim a slight positive INT bonus, I mean it's already over 200 so diminishing returns but now I can raise my resistance gear a bit. I'm not as pure blooded as I thought I was, which is awesome for disease resistance.

All my life women tell me I smell good. And I don't use stuff like water and soap too often, cause that destroys the skin. I was willing to take the social hit for it but it never happened. I mean I never asked a dude to smell me but women are always talking about their senses and the opinion was uniformly positive. I was like whatever and continued to be a stud. But now I see it. It's my Jewish blood. I have proof right there, finally a third-party willing to verify that there is something special about my people.

I feel like I'm better positioned to fight covid too, not vis a vis the increased disease resistance but vis a visa to Isreal for the new vaccine they're making. I'm sure I can turn that 2% into easy entry there, I mean look at Goldman Sachs they turned a zero into six million.

I'm off to brush my teeth, because I was told about my breath. It's not Sexy like a Semite.
