• Covid vaccinations and right-wing populists

    From Michael Mrak@2:310/31.4 to All on Friday, August 06, 2021 07:51:58

    Hello everybody!

    I find it interesting to observe, not only in the U.S. but also in Europe: in regions represented by right-wing populists (or whose citizens are seduced there) there are significantly more vaccination opponents than in other regions.

    In Europe, this can be seen in the former Eastern bloc countries, for example, where right-wing populists with strong slogans have now come to power in many places. There, people are not nearly as widely vaccinated. This also applies to regions in Germany (former GDR) where people are also more likely to vote for the right-wing populist AFD. And there, everywhere, the number of sick people is now exploding and hospitals are once again reaching their capacity limits.

    In the USA I notice this e.g. in Florida, Texas etc. where right-wing populists are also in the majority and violently oppose the government's vaccination campaigns.

    Now I ask myself, why do these people (can they even be called politicians) not value the lives of their constituents? Or are people for these persons just brainless electoral cattle that are good for maximizing votes but for which they are not responsible in any form? Otherwise, I can not explain the behavior of these people (as I said worldwide).

    There are proven effective vaccines against COVID-19, why are these guys railing against it? I don't understand the logic.

    Just a "right wing people are stupid" Narrative set up.

    Nope -- a simple observation of the truth.

    And there, everywhere, the number of sick people is now exploding and hospitals are once again reaching their capacity limits.

    Hospitals are reaching their capacity because they have low capacity
    due to socialized medicine. Just another Leftie "things are bad, not because we have bad policies, but because people just won't do what we dictate."

    Rubbish. The hospital capacity is many times over their normal load.
    But even so, it is being reached and the staff are overloaded. We have
    seen this before and should not be seeing it again. The main reason we
    are seeing such a surge in some places is because many of the people in
    those places are not vaccinated.

    In the USA I notice this e.g. in Florida, Texas etc. where right-wing populists are also in the majority and violently oppose the
    government's vaccination campaigns.

    A continuation of the "right wing people are stupid" Narrative.

    More rubbish from you. His statement is accurate statement of fact.

    Unlike Lefties (i.e. sheeple), intelligent people can think for
    themselves and don't need to be told what to do by their "master".

    Unlike Lefties, intelligent people believe that they are
    the best to decide for
    themselves what's best for themselves.

    Fine-- then why don't they look at the scientific evidence and make a
    decision based on that instead of relying on political conspiracy
    theories.

    Now I ask myself, why do these people (can they even be called politicians) not value the lives of their constituents?

    Oooo... The "They are not compassionate..." strawman that the Lefties like to trot out. "Those people are bad because they are not nice to
    the lazy and the stupid."

    Nope -- those people are bad because they lead their people down a fatal
    path.

    The reason you cannot explain their behavior is because they are far
    more intelligent than you can ever hope to be.

    Typical resort to unfounded ad hominem attack.

    There are proven effective vaccines against COVID-19, why are these
    guys railing against it? I don't understand the logic.

    Becuse they don't get their Marching Orders (i.e. "news") from CNN.

    They should be getting their marching orders from the scientists, not
    from the pundits who are further to the right than FoxNews.

    The vaccine isn't a vaccine. Read the history of the Polio
    vaccine if you want
    to
    see what a real vaccine does.

    There are all sorts of vaccines. The final polio vaccine was permanent,
    as was smallpox vaccine. But others, e.g. the usual fall flu vaccines
    are not permanent, mostly because the flu virus keeps changing.

    The COVID vaccines have not been around long enough to know how
    permanent they are.

    There are effective treatment against COVID. But the Left keep
    blocking any news about those from getting out or blocking doctors from using them.

    They are not watching the right news channels. Your statement is
    totally wrong.

    Michael (fortunately already vaccinated twice and thus protected
    against the greatest Covid-19 effects)

    If you truely believe that, I wonder how you can even tie your shoes
    in the morning.

    More of the typical Ron resorting to ad hominem when he has nothing
    better to say.

    What if one of your loved ones got the vaccine and suffered a bad reaction to it and died? How would you feel then? Better yet what if you where told that you were required to receive ever vaccine that is out there JUST to make sure you don't get someone sick....

    Have you had your Covid vaccine? Your Singles vaccine? Smallpox?

    I have not had the shingles one because I was not old enough for it yet, but I think I am now so I plan to ask about it next physical.

    I was in one of the last groups of Americans to get the smallpox vaccine.
    My younger siblings didn't get one.

    I don't think they give out collera or yellow fever unless you are
    traveling to places where you need one (and I would get one if I was).

    I have had the rest of them.

    I can say this... the difference between those others and COVID is that those others were fully FDA approved before I got them.

    Hello Michael,

    I find it interesting to observe, not only in the U.S. but also in Europe: in regions represented by right-wing populists (or whose citizens are seduced there) there are significantly more vaccination opponents than in other regions.

    People do have options in a free society. They can either take the
    jab, or refuse to take the jab. And lots o folks have chosen not to
    take the jab. In China things may be different. But this ain't China.

    In Europe, this can be seen in the former Eastern bloc countries, for example, where right-wing populists with strong slogans have now come to power in many places.

    And in the USA the same is shown where left-wing populists with strong
    slogans have now come to power in many places.

    There, people are not nearly as widely vaccinated.

    Hospitals aren't full because of the virus. Everybody knows that.

    This also applies to regions in Germany (former GDR) where people are also more likely to vote for the right-wing populist AFD.

    Oh, get real. Can we please stop claiming that there is a COVID-19
    crisis in the USA and elsewhere and just admit that what we are in
    the middle of is an anti-vaccination crisis?

    And there, everywhere, the number of sick people is now exploding and hospitals are once again reaching their capacity limits.

    Whatever gives you that idea?

    Hospitals aren't full because the virus is here. Hospitals are full
    because the virus has access to a large pool of the unvaccinated.

    IOW -

    What we have is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

    In the USA I notice this e.g. in Florida, Texas etc. where right-wing populists are also in the majority and violently oppose the government's vaccination campaigns.

    These are not right-wing populists. Far from it. Anti-vax and
    anti-mask loyalty, in the middle of a pandemic, to people who have
    the vaccine, is the definition of a cult. The cult lives on suffering,
    even if it is their own suffering. Which makes those who egg them
    on DeathSentence cult leaders.

    Now I ask myself, why do these people (can they even be called politicians)
    not value the lives of their constituents?

    They do! They do!

    Idiots are ignoring, or missing the point.

    The vaccines save your life.
    The vaccines keep you from needing hospitalization.
    The vaccines make you much, much less sick when you do get infected.
    And EVERYONE will be exposed/infected in the long run.

    Therefore, the only choice freeing you is to minimize your
    chance of dying, or nah ...

    Or are people for these persons just brainless electoral cattle that are good for maximizing votes but for which they are not responsible in any form?

    Oh, come now! You can't be serious! You know as well as
    me that if everyone was vaccinated there would be few people
    in the hospital. That is the difference with last year's
    situation, when so many folks were being ventilated ...

    Otherwise, I can not explain the behavior of these people (as I said worldwide).

    They are just following the advice of the man who called
    himself a "stable genius" ...

    There are proven effective vaccines against COVID-19, why are these guys railing against it? I don't understand the logic.

    Okay. Let me break it down for you in very simple terms.
    Not everybody has taken the jab, or wants to do so. Why not?
    Because they have other options. Two main options, which
    are proven to work (according to those who have tried them) -

    1. If you thought it was a hoax beccause Cheato said so,
    try his bleach injetionan sunlamp suppository cure.

    2. If you thought God would protect you, try going to church
    andsee if you can get some miracle healing.

    If neither of those two options work, good luck in the next life.

    Michael (fortunately already vaccinated twice and thus protected against the
    greatest Covid-19 effects)

    EVERYONE will be exposed/infected in the long run.

    The only choice we have is to minimize our chance of dying.

    vaccine.

    So if the die after getting the vaccine there a martyr right? The died for your worthy cause? That's the thing about individual rights, they are just that, for each individual to make up there own mine. What was it the lefties used to say... oh yeah "My body my choice".

    Just fine -- I have done that to protect myself and those around me. I don't know of a vaccine I have not had over the years.

    Well good for you, I got the vaccine too. But several of the younger guys (20 to 30 y.o. range) don't want to get the vaccine and I don't have a problem with that. If they get covid it will most like be a mild case and then they will have natural immunity. Right no there is a lot of hysteria out there about the "delta variant" when in reality while it is more transmissible most people that are getting have symptoms no worse than the flu. Also the reports about hospitals filling to capacity with patients with covid the reality is they only have 6% or less of space in there hospital set aside for covid patients.

    I have not had the shingles one because I was not old enough for it
    yet, but I think I am now so I plan to ask about it next physical.

    I would encourage you to get it. I did not know that they had a minimum
    age where they would give it. Assuming that you had chicken pox (who
    didn't?), the virus that causes shingles is dominant within you. I have
    a very mild case of shingles decades ago, but even that was not nice.
    Once they got a new vaccine that was 90% effective, I got the shot.

    I was in one of the last groups of Americans to get the smallpox
    vaccine. My younger siblings didn't get one.

    I was not aware that they stopped giving that vaccine. I guess they
    consider smallpox eliminated all over the world.

    I don't think they give out collera or yellow fever unless you are traveling to places where you need one (and I would get one if I was).

    I believe that I got those when I entered active duty with the army.
    They give shots on the basis of "we never know where you might be
    going".

    I have had the rest of them.

    Good.

    I can say this... the difference between those others and COVID is
    that those others were fully FDA approved before I got them.

    I have heard that the full FDA approval should come soon -- and that
    there is very little difference between that and the current emergency approval.

    You should have a problem with that.

    If they get covid it will most
    like be a mild case

    For some it will be a mild case -- but for others it will be as serious
    as the alpha variant was for seniors. But for those who are lucky
    enough to only have a mild case, they will still transmit it to others
    who will get very sick -- including children too young to get a vaccine
    yet.

    ... and then they will have natural immunity.

    For 90 days -- and then they can do it all over again.

    Right no there is a lot of hysteria out there
    about the "delta variant" when in reality while it is more
    transmissible most people that are getting have symptoms no
    worse than the flu.

    If that were the case, then why is the infection/hospitalization/death
    rate sky rocketing in those states that are under vaccinated?
    It is not only more transmissible, it is more deadly.

    Also the reports about hospitals
    filling to capacity with patients with covid the reality is
    they only have 6% or less of space in there hospital set
    aside for covid patients.

    Where did you get that number? If it were true, then why are they
    turning away non-covid patients.

    Once they got a new vaccine that was 90% effective, I got the shot.

    I *think* the "recommended" age is 50+. My assumption would be that
    insurance might not cover it until I was in the "recommended" range unless
    my Dr. requested it. :) I had a very mild case of chicken pox so, yes, I
    am interested in the vaccine.

    I was in one of the last groups of Americans to get the smallpox vaccine. My younger siblings didn't get one.

    I was not aware that they stopped giving that vaccine. I guess they
    consider smallpox eliminated all over the world.

    That is the one that leaves a scar where they used several short needles, instead of one long one, right? Maybe you can still get a shot if you want
    it, but the campaign to vaccinate everyone ended in the early 1970's.

    I don't think they give out collera or yellow fever unless you are traveling to places where you need one (and I would get one if I was).

    I believe that I got those when I entered active duty with the army.
    They give shots on the basis of "we never know where you might be

    My Dad mentioned the same thing the other day. :)

    I can say this... the difference between those others and COVID is
    that those others were fully FDA approved before I got them.

    I have heard that the full FDA approval should come soon -- and that
    there is very little difference between that and the current emergency approval.

    There may not be a government, or even scientific, difference, but it has
    been mentioned on the local news that the lack of full FDA approval may be
    what stands between the vaccine being approved for use in children.

    You should have a problem with that.

    No I shouldn't, I am vaccinated and I am not going to tell them how to live there lives

    For some it will be a mild case -- but for others it will be as serious as the alpha variant was for seniors. But for those who are lucky enough to only have a mild case, they will still transmit it to others who will get very sick -- including children too young to get a vaccine yet.

    Children unless the have other co-morbidity issues do not have to worry about having a "bad" case of covid. 99% of kids that get it have symptoms that are less than a case of the flu. The fact is people have have co-morbidity issues should protect themselves while most others should live there lives.

    For 90 days -- and then they can do it all over again.

    Nope your wrong there, in fact natural immunity is far superior to immunity vaccine immunity with covid 19.

    There are politicians here who are against "mandatory vaccinations." They don't want us to be forced at knifepoint to inject the novel vaccine.

    In other words, they would rather that you or your neighbors get
    severely sick or even die.

    They need to speak for their district's citizens. If their citizens are saying "We don't want it mandatory," then they need to say "We don't want it mandatory."

    Nope your wrong there, in fact natural immunity is far superior to immunity vaccine immunity with covid 19.

    Pray tell, where did you get your medical degree?

    Don't have one but I do read a lot, natural immunity is always superior to vaccine immunity. The reason we have vaccines is because in many cases getting the disease could be fatal.

    And where, precisely, did you read that? Vaccines usually stimulate
    a wider immune response compared to natural immunity, which only
    responds to a specific form of a pathogen.

    Hello Jeff,

    immunity vaccine immunity with covid 19.

    Pray tell, where did you get your medical degree?

    Don't have one but I do read a lot, natural immunity is always superior to vaccine immunity.

    The novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus, meaning no person
    on the face of this planet has any natural immunity to it.

    The reason we have vaccines is because in many cases getting the disease could be fatal.

    One more time -

    EVERYONE will be exposed/infected by the virus.

    Those who have not been vaccinated have a much higher risk
    of severe illness or death than those who have been vaccinated.
    So why would anybody (other than total idiots) refuse to take
    the jab?

    That is just not true, no matter what some pundits might claim. The
    natural immunity to Covid lasts for about 90 days.

    The reason we have
    vaccines is because in many cases getting the disease could
    be fatal.

    Or seriously sick, with lasting effects. Too bad that many people do
    not realize those side effects from not taking the vaccine.

    Yes but we have had other coronaviruses hence why Pfizer had already had a head start working on a vaccine.

    One more time -

    EVERYONE will be exposed/infected by the virus.

    of severe illness or death than those who have been vaccinated.

    the jab?

    Key word RISK, what is the risk for a healthy person for age 1 to 30 with no co-morbidity factors of dying or getting severe illness? What is the risk of having a bad of fatal reaction to the vaccine? Has the vaccine been approved for regular use by the FDA? You should do some reading on vaccines before you take your high and mighty stance of telling EVERYONE they should "get the jab".

    ... Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

    Quoting Jeff Squires to Lee Lofaso <=-

    Yes but we have had other coronaviruses hence why Pfizer had already
    had a head start working on a vaccine.

    And all the research so far on RNA "vaccines" have been failures.

    Key word RISK, what is the risk for a healthy person for age 1 to 30
    with no co-morbidity factors of dying or getting severe illness?

    About the same as the regular flu. The only difference is that COVID
    hits the old while the regular flu hits the young.

    What is the risk of having a bad of fatal reaction to the vaccine?

    So far, for the young, it's a pretty high risk. Far more than the risk
    of COVID.

    Has the vaccine been approved for regular use by the FDA?

    If the FDA approves it, it will eliminate all trust in the FDA.

    You should do some
    reading on vaccines before you take your high and mighty stance of
    telling EVERYONE they should "get the jab".

    But he does reading. It's just only at CNN.COM and other centers of propaganda. If he were to do otherwise, he might find his information incorrect and that's just too painful for people like him.

    Hello Jeff,

    The novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus, meaning no person
    on the face of this planet has any natural immunity to it.

    Yes but we have had other coronaviruses

    THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS IS A BRAND SPANKING NEW CORONAVIRUS
    NEVER BEFORE SEEN BY THE HUMAN RACE.

    hence why Pfizer had already had a head start working on a vaccine.

    NOBODY (OR COMPANY) HAD A HEAD START ON A VACCINE FOR A BRAND
    SPANKING NEW CORONAVIRUS.

    One more time -

    EVERYONE will be exposed/infected by the virus.

    Those who have not been vaccinated have a much higher risk
    of severe illness or death than those who have been vaccinated.
    So why would anybody (other than total idiots) refuse to take
    the jab?

    Key word RISK,

    WE ARE ALL AT RISK. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.

    what is the risk for a healthy person for age 1 to 30 with no co-morbidity factors of dying or getting severe illness?

    Over the past seven days, 268 people in Louisiana have died
    of COVID-19, an increase of nearly 760% from one month prior,
    when the weekly average was 32 deaths.

    That is what the local newspaper reported this morning, 8/17/2021.

    What is the risk of having a bad of fatal reaction to the vaccine?

    Virtually none. Your point (if you have one)?

    Has the vaccine been approved for regular use by the FDA?

    Irrelevant. Anti-vaxxers use that excuse as a cop-out, not
    a reason. They have absolutely no more intention of taking the
    jab than flying to the moon.

    You should do some reading on vaccines before you take your high and mighty
    stance of telling EVERYONE they should "get the jab".

    Louisiana remains No. 1 in the country for new COVID-19 diagnoses
    per capita.

    That was also what the local newspaper reported this morning.

    Have a great day. Stay safe. And hopefully alive.

    Key word RISK, what is the risk for a healthy person for

    A year ago, I could have agreed that risk was small -- not negligent.
    Today it is much larger and getting larger by the day.

    What is the risk of having a bad of
    fatal reaction to the vaccine?

    Minuscule, especially when compared to the risk of a fatal reaction to
    getting Covid.

    Has the vaccine been approved for regular use by the FDA?

    Not yet, but soon. The distinction between the current emergency
    authorization and approval for regular use is small.


    You should do some
    reading on vaccines before you take your high and mighty
    stance of telling EVERYONE they should "get the jab".

    You should look at the current data before making such sweeping
    statements that are no longer true.

    Wrong. The current delta variant is making those young people seriously
    ill, with too many dying. Even at age 1.

    What is the risk of having a bad of fatal reaction to the vaccine?

    So far, for the young, it's a pretty high risk. Far more than the
    risk of COVID.

    Where are you getting that data? How many people have died because of
    the vaccine? Compare that to the hundreds of thousands who have died
    from covid -- and by no means only seniors.

    Gotta keep pushing the false Narrative I suppose. Especially against the parents who are pushing to get the mask restrictions out of schools. Lefties can't have anything getting in the way of indoctrinating our kids.

    Look it up for yourself, or are you afraid that you might see some data that contridicts your precious Narrative?

    Ah, yes, the fake numbers pushed by the Propaganda Ministry. Even the CDC admits that only 6% actually died of COVID. The rest just happened to have COVID, or in many cases, just had COVID symptoms (like the regular flu) when they died of the heart attack.

    But, like I said, you guys have to keep pushing your false Narrative. Otherwise you'll have to confront the fact that you aren't as smart and Elite as you want to believe you are.

    Not false.

    the parents who are pushing to get the mask restrictions out of

    Such parents do not care about their kids getting infected and spreading

    I say again, where are you getting that data.

    How many people have died because of the vaccine?

    Look it up for yourself, or are you afraid that you might see some
    data that contridicts your precious Narrative?

    I have looked it up, and the data says that the number of deaths from
    Covid are many orders of magnitude higher than the minuscule number of
    deaths from the vaccines.

    Compare that to the hundreds of thousands who have died
    from covid -- and by no means only seniors.

    Ah, yes, the fake numbers pushed by the Propaganda Ministry. Even the
    CDC admits that only 6% actually died of COVID. The rest just happened
    to have COVID, or in many cases, just had COVID symptoms (like the
    regular flu) when they died of the heart attack.

    They made no such admission. That is a piece of false narrative pushed
    to you by people like Fox news. It was debunked a long time ago.

    But, like I said, you guys have to keep pushing your false Narrative. Otherwise you'll have to confront the fact that you aren't as smart
