  2. I don't doubt posturing, but I do doubt "Their rhetoric was undermining the process." Like, a lot.
  3. You read fast. On the off chance you didn't read it, I'd like to know how this rhetoric somehow caused the anti-vaxx movement:
  4. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jul/23/tiktok-posts/biden-harris-doubted-trump-covid-19-vaccines-not-v/ Not sure if that's the rhetoric you're referring to or not. Saying you don't trust Trump is not the same as not trusting a vaccine, imo. Trump said Covid would go away at one point, just magically. We don't need to go over the rest of what he said. When just about every sentence uttered was a lie, every tweet a source of misinformation, it isn't hard to say I don't trust the dude, and I'll wait for the experts. I don't think that rhetoric hurt, and I'm no defender of those two.
  5. The post you went after was a summation saying they (Dem politicos) would take the vaccine if Fauci deemed it safe. Same thing in most folks' minds as saying if the experts deemed it safe. It seems all of your criticisms are in regards to post vaccine rollout which is irrelevant to the original point. At any rate, the idea that Biden/Harris somehow scared otherwise normal folks into becoming anti-vaxxers is patently ludicrous. Edit: I know you weren't arguing that, just throwing it in there.
  6. Pretty sure satire died about 4.5 years ago.
  7. If it weren't for the peripheral damage to those who can't get non-covid treatments, and the stress and pain on our medical providers, I would be great with this sentiment. Hell, I'm all for the covidiots dying off. But they're harming the rest of us while they're at it. Oh, and there's the whole vector for yet another variant thing.
  8. Is there any chance the automagic runner on 2nd in extras goes away next year?
  9. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/26/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html Worse. Worse AFTER having these miraculous vaccines in play. Fucking amazing.
  10. So sorry for your personal loss. I have appreciated all the venting from you and trauma babe. It is insight I don't get as much of elsewhere. Vent as much as you need, and again, very sorry for what you're going through.
  11. Another common theme in the r/hermaincainaward subreddit is the amount of folks posting their every inner thought on social media (predominantly facebook). I'm pretty convinced if all of this had happened prior to the internet, the amount of anti-vaxxers would be way lower. I mean, maybe not. Maybe all the Limbaugh AM radio listeners would be out there doing something similar. But Facebook seems to embolden them. They poorly meme their idiocy and get likes for it. Then of course they all turn to "pray for me" and "prayer warrior" call outs. Theme number two--Dear Lord save me from my own shit ass self. And forgive me for my memes of hate I have preserved for time immemorial. Anyway, I think the giving the crazies a sense of 'there are so many of us' and the amplification of that sense through social media has made this worse. Someone on this thread talked about it used to be you only saw these crazies at the local bar, and they were usually ignored. Now they get an audience and make it worse for all of us.
  12. Well you know, they've done the research.
  13. I'm pretty sure we're awesome fun as long as we aren't playing the Astros or NYY.
  14. Welp, made national news in this video: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/08/25/people-arent-getting-cancer-surgery-because-were-full-of-covid-patients-says-oregon-doctor.html
  15. Douglas County and Jackson County Oregon. First, a reddit post: Now, the Sherriff's turn: Now for a reddit report from Eugene: So yeah, fuck all these anti-vaxxer idiots. Fuck the Sherriff of Douglas County in particular. I'm not sure the Herman Cain Awards is enough for me anymore. These people are fucking over so many innocent people now (have read of people in great physical pain awaiting cancer surgeries that should have already happened for example) that we really need to quit treating the unvaccinated. At the very least, the ICU beds need to be de-prioritized for them. I mean, if a Sheriff can ignore a State mandate can hospitals not start to make the rational decisions required?
  16. 50 buckaroos. They will give you fifty bucks to not die a horrible death. Must be a catch.
  17. https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/michael-ryan/article253707348.html I do feel sorry for the children left behind by their idiot parents. The idea of the kids carrying guilt over it forever had not even crossed my mind.
  18. Baseball reference goes for it: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SEA/2021.shtml
  19. Again, I could cut and paste quite a few here for you all, and the reps would be fabulous. Best reps ever, believe me. https://old.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ Seems there's already plenty of Sturgis ones in there as well. Enjoy, but be careful, I'm telling you, this stuff is addicting.
  20. Nobody saw this coming. (everybody saw it coming)
  21. At age 51 I have a hard time accepting being old. I have an even harder time accepting this world of so many stupid people. Stupid people who would harm themselves and everyone else by proxy. I am not calling myself a genius, or even all that intelligent. But I know enough to listen to those who are experts in their fields. Back in the 80s if you told me how many technological advances we would have at my age now I would have assumed that world was full of smart people and run by even smarter people. Naïveté of youth I suppose. The technology to fight this killer virus in such a relatively short time is amazing. And yet the stupidity of the masses brings us down. It’s depressing.
  22. Saw this idea on reddit, and maybe on this thread somewhere as well. "Sneak" real covid vaccination shots into livestock stores. Call it super-ivermectin or something without the word vaccine in it. Track it in a quasi-reverse sting operation. Publish some facebook and other social media posts about 'the treatment the Joe Biden and the government doesn't want you to know about. Requires two doses just like the vaccine...."
