WCU OLine coach dies

One of my anti-vaxxer employees said she will never get the vaccine. Her dad was never sick a day in his life. He got the vaccine. Two months later he had kidney stones. So the kidney stones must have come from the vaccine she said. Makes sense to somebody somewhere.


she has had fluid build up in her lungs for 8 wks now. Constantly going in to get them drained. They have spent half that time doing testing to try to figure out what is going on. She has never smoked a day in her life and she was very healthy prior. It just came out of nowhere. Again, it may just be coincidence but we’ll never know.

Btw, I agree, the kidney stone story is nonsense.

The difference between correlation and causation are difficult for some to wrap their hands around.
 
While this is true, income and education level seem to play a pretty big part in vaccination rates too. I've also seen the political party affiliation argument, but I'm not so sure it holds up as well.

Not that it really should matter, but we know ow 90%+ of minorities vote.

I have not seen any numbers to know for sure one way or another, but I would guess there are more who voted democrat than republican that are unvaxed.
 
I certainly don't discount the information in that chart, but is fairly vague. For reference, if you look at vaccination rates in high biden vote cities such as Chicago, the vax% in the poorer zip codes where a majority of the minority population lives is much lower than the rest of the city/county. I suspect there are some counties that voted for trump that have minority populations that are included in the non vaxed numbers. My point is that taking whole counties and not specifically democrats/republicans can skew (perceived) data.

That’s exactly why I said there is evidence but that I wasn’t quite buying in. Id be willing to bet there is correlation between densely populated areas and more rural and vaccination rates. There just so happens to be stronger Republican leanings in those rural areas. The covid experience has been drastically different in those areas of this country.

I’m an idiot because I don’t wanna get vaccinated? Three people in my family have gotten the vaccine and we’re perfectly healthy beforehand and since then all three have been in amd out of the hospital with different Heath issues. To think someone is calling someone an idiot over a vaccine that hasn’t even been around a year yet and nobody knows what they will do to you. Am I also an idiot for not getting the flu shot? You sir can go **** your self.
I don't believe a word of this.
 
At this point I’m defending cock suckers that believe I have Reason to lie about the health of my family
i bet someone in your family went to a doctor and their O2 stats were lower with a mask on?

i bet you also know someone who checked in, saw the line was too long, and didnt even wait to be COVID tested but somehow got a positive result?

Studies show that African Americans are just as skeptical as white non-vaxxers of the governments intentions, given their history with being unbeknownst guinea pigs for various experiments throughout American history, experiences that the white non-vaxxers cannot claim to have for themselves . But African Americans are very diligent about wearing their masks, too, also unlike the white non vaxxers. I dont like to see this made a racial issue but you brought it up. And you wrong about the number of Republicans vs Democrats. Republicans are dropping like flies. Even Trump tried to encourage his base at his rally recently to get vaccinated, only to receive a loud chorus of boos. What has happened to our fellow Americans ? `

My initial reply was to a poster who implied rednecks(infer dumb racist white people)were the vast majority of the unvaxed and I was pointing out the fallacy of his argument. You are absolutely correct about the mask wearing. Just based on personal observation, minorities are wearing masks at a much higher level compared to white people.

Absolutely. In this way, Dabo's recent words on the subject ("I trust my doctor") should supersede whatever random article you saw posted to Facebook.

The only media voice I consistently pay attention to during this thing is Nate Silver because he is statistics-based and his takes are almost totally empirical. There's none of the click-bait, emotion-driven headlines/takes you see on both sides.

But far more than anything through this pandemic, I rely on what the medical folks are saying -- and largely the medical folks in my community.

The people in the ICUs, two of them close friends, are my boots on the ground. And in the last several weeks, the numbers of COVID patients and deaths have been overwhelmingly unvaccinated. And the same is true from folks I've communicated with down at MUSC in Charleston (almost 100 percent unvaxxed).

Yes, there are exceptions of course. But far too few for me to think vaccinations are a bad idea for the general populace.
If we start requiring vaccination passports to enter a hospital, then problem solved. Let Darwinism work it’s magic.

You can't possibly be serious. Why do you think DeSantis and Hannity and every other republican half wit are begging their constituents and viewers to get vaccinated? They're dying, in disproportionate numbers to the libtards.
 
🤣🤣🤣 you are really making a spectacle of yourself itt.
Hey man way to try and bring back an argument from a couple days ago. I’ve moved on. Obviously you haven’t matured yet enough. Have a good one. Wait no don’t **** you.
