That is just hilarious oh my word

An anti-mask guy in Texas caught Covid, took ivermectin, and up and died. From Covid.

So much for the alternative universe of health care.

But, if it wasn't on FOX or on a Christian "science" website, then it must be false news.

This thread is quite the collection of pseudo-fact:

mRNA vaccines are experimental untested technology:
Nope. mRNA vaccines have been under development for about 15 years and have had successful trials and results in multiple applications prior to COVID.

COVID-19 vaccines aren't fully approved:
Nope. Emergency use authorization is approval. Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine is also fully approved and no longer operating under emergency use authorization. Expect that approval for Moderna in weeks (if not days). Further, with hundreds of millions of doses now administered, there is clear data (well beyond any normal trials program) on the efficacy and safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

The vaccine doesn't actually prevent you from catching COVID
True, the vaccines have variable effectiveness in reducing transmissibility of SARS-CoV2 and its variants. But, although they do reduce transmissibility, that was never their intent. The intent of the vaccines is to prevent one from becoming seriously ill, requiring hospitalization, or dying from COVID-19. They are tremendously effective at this. Even breakthrough cases of Delta are resulting in a very low relative number of cases of serious illness.

COVID-19 can only kill you if you're obese or have other comorbities:
Yes, you are at more risk with certain underlying health conditions, but COVID-19 can kill anyone and has. More than 17% of COVID deaths are those with no comorbity. Since >600,000 Americans have died of COVID-19, that means that over 100,000 deaths are otherwise perfectly healthy people who probably thought they were at no risk of dying from COVID.

My individual rights are being violated by public health orders:
Hooey, hogwash, and just general BS. If you want to go into public, the public has the right to expect you to act safely. You do not have the right to drive at twice the speed limit. You do not have the right to walk around spraying pepper spray at everyone you meet. You do not have the right to throw stones at people as your walking down the street. You simply do not have the individual right to be a public menace. If you do not want to abide by public health orders, then stay home. The only two reasonable exceptions to this are those with a bona fide medical contraindicaiton to immunization (very few) or those who have a legitimate religious objection (Christian Scientists mostly). Otherwise, get vaccinated and wear a mask (where required) or stay the hell at home.

I wont waste my time posting the links of those that took the vaccine, got covid and died as that would only thwart your cause. You are so transparent its beyond funny.

I’m sure hundreds of thousands dead don’t convince you but a few hundred vaccinated dead are all the proof you need to validate your beliefs.

There are tens of thousands of vaccinated dead. Soon to be in the millions as their own immune systems turns against them. It's gonna be ugly.

Please enlighten us with further details of your prediction.

He believes Donald Trump won the election and that Bill Gates has paid off the vaccine manufacturers to implant tracking chips in the vaccine. Any "enlightenment" he provides will be just about as reliable.

Factually speaking, auto-immune reactions to vaccines occur within the first few days, a week or two at the very outside. We would already have plenty of evidence if the approved COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous. US data is freely available through VAERS. Out of the 100s of millions of doses, there are <500 post-vaccination cases of auto-immune disease (radiculopathies, GBS, myelitis, etc). Statistically insignificant and irrelevant. Natural incidence of these illnesses would be no different than those reported post-vaccination meaning there is zero actual evidence. That said, I suspect that there are a handful of actual cases ... out of hundreds of millions of doses.

Maybe this is grim situation is beginning to turn around.

I'm beginning hear about medical practices that are refusing to treat the unvaccinated. I don't know any specific details, but I can imagine that it would be non critical practices such as dermatologists, cosmetic surgery, fertility clinics, and such. And, I'm also hearing accounts where hospitals are placing unvaccinated COVID patients in triage, rather than putting the COVID's ahead of other critical patients.

Insurance companies are beginning to raise rates for the unvaccinated. It would be interesting if insurance companies could stop covering or reduce payment for COVID treatment of the unvaccinated.

Bottom line is that if remaining unvaccinated carries some obvious down sides, more people will elect to be vaccinated. Currently, there is no perceived down side to remaining unvaccinated -- "I'm strong and healthy", "chips", "it's just a flu", "fake news", etc.

Don't forget: "It makes (aluminum) keys stick to my forehead", "Causes sterility", "It actually gives you Covid".

I'm sure I forgot some other ones.

Also turns you into a monkey and/or lizard person.

I heard if you drink pennzoil 10w30 semi synthetic oil it prevents COVID AND gives trump the win in Arizona!

The Karma variant only affects radio talk show hosts. They make money from their agendas. Follow the money.

Apparently, it's also a helluva cure for constipation as well.

Interesting though process going on here.

- If I live an unhealthy life and I end up all these ailments (overweight, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. etc. etc.), but I'm vaxed, I should be the one who is free to do what I want and go where I want.  When I get sick, I should be treated (probably at the tax payers dime).

- For those that live a healthy life (exercise, healthy foods, vitamins) but choose not to vax, they should be locked in their home never allowed to be near the rest of the population.  When they get sick, they should also be DENIED medical attention.

Got it!

Good luck with all that fellas.
