Colleagues got Covid. But being young and healthy they didn't die. And they stayed home so they didn't pass it on.

So... almost like we could have based the response to COVID on the actual science, used logic and reason, and focused our efforts on those in at risk groups like the old and people with other chronic illness and disease...

Next Pandemic, I expect you will be mindlessly wandering around waiting for your instructions and no matter how absurd or silly or outright wrong, you will be a good lemming and follow orders.

Yet another thread hijacked by Covid1ots who think that because they survived it wasn't a serious threat.
Shuddup already the people that died are dead and they pretty much can fix it you if you get it. Move on already.

This one about the butthurt who weren't going to see some stupid singer whining that someone else couldn't either.

So, when they told you not to wear a mask, did you listen to them? Was that taking the deadly virus seriously?

DUH!

 

What do you mean 'duh'? The research isn't even conclusive on THAT. 

Have you actually read ANYTHING on this or are you just parroting your echo chamber's talking points again?

Quote

When the first variant (the deadliest) was rampant the Maritimes were called "The Safest Place in the World" because of a very efficient lockdown. So of course I supported the lockdown. Only an id!ot wouldn't!

No I'm afraid that's not true. There's no evidence in the slightest that the lockdowns had any effect in the maritimes. 

And in fact there's a fair bit of evidence that it actually wound up causing a lot of damage emotionally and financially that was unnecessary.

Warmer climates and places of high population density suffered the worst. The maritimes have a very low population density and are relatively cold in the winter.

That appears to have done far more than any lockdown. In other words it's unlikely there would have been a noticeable difference in deaths

And again the research showed that places that engaged in lockdowns wound up having a much higher death rate later on compared to those who didn't. So while it might have been possibly a good idea for lockdowns during the first month or so after that it probably did more harm than good

 

You just say things without doing a slightest bit of research, without even giving it thought. Honestly I have literally trained dogs that were smarter and more capable of independent thought that you appear to be. Why don't you actually look into something before you open your mouth and display your Ignorance?

It was a virus no one had seen before so it was a learning experience for everyone except know it alls like you. 
 

The next pandemic I will do the same as the last one.

But he was right.

And if it's unknown and nobody knows anything about it then his opinion is pretty much as valid as anyone else's. So the lesson you should be taking away from this is everybody should do what they feel is best with the knowledge that has been put out there. Government shouldn't be Forcing medical treatments on people

And how would you feel if that choice was taken away from you? How would you feel if someone said they knew better than you and forced you to do things the way they wanted.

Something to think about I'd say

Interesting... a virus that no one has seen before and they don't have a lot of experience with... so, lie to everyone and tell them to not wear masks!

I hope you are smart enough to think on your own next time and if not, no one is counting on you that you are leading them off the cliff with the other lemmings. 

[herbie]

Don't respond, the guy's once again inventing things out of what others said to continue his distraction. 
He can't address the issue over public entities refusing permits for certain people. His attitude would be 180 degrees if it was a Palestinian singer.

I already told you what the explicit lie was. They knew telling people to not wear masks was a lie. 

You don't need to tell people what to do in order to mindlessly lead them off the cliff with you...

WHO told everyone not to wear masks. It was dangerous they said, and will cause even more threat than not wearing one for reasons. 

it was later that WHO changed it's tune and went all in on masks.

They recommended people not to wear face masks unless they were sick with Covid-19 or caring for someone else who was sick. The danger was that most people didn't know how to use a mask properly or would use the wrong type. They were concerned about a false sense of security developing where lay people might only hurt themselves in the process.

Sure after the severity Nd virulence of the virus became clearer and public health authorities got a better handle on educating the public...the educable portion that is.

So what you mean was I'm right

Didn't get a better handle on educating public. And that's part of the problem. When they believe that masks were a danger they said it absolutely emphatically as if there was no possibility that they were wrong. This is true Beyond any doubt, do not doubt us or the science.

But it turns out that they were wrong. And it led a lot of people to doubt them and the science moving forward. Especially when they immediately turned around and said no this is the way it is, do not doubt us or the science when both they and the science had been wrong like 5 minutes ago. 

 

This is why at the end of the day people should be allowed to choose. It should be allowed to take the information presented and make their own decisions.

[Aristides]

Early on the WHO said they were unnecessary unless you had Covid or were looking after someone who had it. As they learned more about the virus they changed their recommendation. That's what scientists do.

No, I'm pretty sure you still think everyone was/is lying to you and will be till the day you die. Until that changes the times you're right about very much will simply be coincidental.

Scientists change as they learn, conspiracy knobs on the other hand latch onto whatever fits their narrative and you can't separate them with a jack hammer.

But that's not how they present that. They speak in terms of absolute as if they're findings are Beyond any possible correction or doubt and cannot be changed in the future.

They didn't say we feel it's possible masks are dangerous, they said masks are dangerous and shouldn't be used.

The simple fact of the matter is scientists opinions should be given to the public and the public should have the freedom to make decisions themselves.

And let me remind you that most of those conspiracy theories regarding covid turned out to be true. The vaccine was more dangerous than we thought. Lockdowns may have caused more harm than good based on the research. The covid vaccine for males under 40 was probably significantly more dangerous than the risk of covid itself and they would put themselves at risk by taking it.

Covid probably came from a lab in Wuhan

Those are all established facts now. And all written off as complete tin foil hat conspiracy nonsense in the past

Our opinions should always be subject to reassessment and correction. Misplaced concreteness can be a real problem you should always guard against. For example:

Scientists never say their findings are absolute, otherwise there would be no point in being a scientist.

Do scientists get stuff wrong? Of course they do but it is other scientists that find it out, not internet conspiracy theorists.
