I get you; I've been a shoulder/venting board for a friend for whom this is just breaking apart the extended family. Friend is vaxxed as is everyone in her immediate family but aunts/uncles and cousins are in varying degrees of not gunna do it to downright QAnon and sure enough, the virus found a host. They called and called, wanting her to "do something" because a family member was near death, no hospital beds available and just lashing out in a vortex of pain and anger and grief looking for someone, anyone to blame. They finally found a hospital that would take the afflicted, but it's not looking great and I've been trying to counsel my friend to just not answer the phone for awhile because at some point you just have to break the dysfunction and stop.

"I did do something; I implored you to get vaccinated. I hoped this wouldn't happen and did everything I could to prevent it. Please don't let this lesson go to waste, too. I wish it hadn't happened this way, but it will only get worse if you still don't listen. Good luck."

It is an amazing timeline.  That friend of a cousin of Minaj went out and got VD, blamed the vax, and 35% of our country completely buys it.   If you have a trump loving spouse/partner right now, there is a very high chance you could get caught  with your dick in someone else and you could blame the vax and it would make perfect sense to them.

This timeline, y’all.
 

Does "made fun of for simply being human" mean "made fun of for being fucking drooling morons?"  Because those aren't the same thing.  Or, fuck it....maybe they are.  This fucking timeline.

 

ALSO, with regard to the antivaxxers dying -- Myra, Pescado's friend with 4 kids......let's set aside the horrific human costs (you know, people losing a family member, kids growing up without a dad), and just look at it in terms of economics.

There are 600,000 dead so far.  Let's say that a mere 10,000 of those are people with young kids who refused to be vaccinated.  I suspect that number is quite low.  Average of 2 kids per family.....we now have 20,000 kids who have lost a parent.  The economic future of kids from single parent households is not nearly as bright as it is if there are two parents:

Quote

Children in single-parent households have less family income and are more likely to be poor than are children in married-parent households.18) In fact, the children of single teenage mothers spend more time in poverty than children in any other family structure, 19) and children in single-mother families are more likely than children in married or cohabiting families to receive any form of public assistance.20)

Children of single-parent families have diminished economic mobility. They are less likely than children of married-parent and divorced-parent families to ever earn an income which exceeds their parents’. Fifty-eight percent of children of never-married mothers, whose income is in the bottom third of the income distribution themselves, earn an income in the bottom third of the income distribution. Ten percent of these children move to the top third of the income distribution.21)

Let's say that the net worth of each of those households is on average $50,000 less (and that's WAY low) now that they lost a parent.  That's $500 million right there.  And let's say the lifetime earnings of each of those 20,000 kids is $200,000 less than it would have been (again, that's likely conservative).  There's $4 billion to the negative.

And shit, let's just look at the cost of hospitalizations for seriously ill patients (not just those who die, but those who need serious medical care over days/weeks).  We know that unvaxxed people make up a shitload of those 600,000 dead (and again, many more than that are hospitalized).  Let's say that 100,000 people needed serious care/died in a hospital who were unvaxxed.   Such hospital stays are estimated to cost around $50,000-$70,000.  Let's be conservative, and do $50k times 100,000.  There's another $5 billion.

Antivax idiocy has cost our economy around $10 billion just by THESE numbers.  That's not even counting the impact on the economy of lost work time, broken supply chains, and all the secondary effects.

The fucking economic brutality would get the attention of a "fiscally conservative" party.  But it doesn't.  Their freedoms, at OUR costs.  The GQP is socialist, and in the worst way.

Your daddy let you out of the cage today.  Breath that fresh air before getting stuffed in your box, gimp.

i always crack up whenever incredulity goes on one of his weeknight benders, gets shitfaced out of his mind, and then shows up here with these completely insane posts.

i need to build a historical dataset of these random outbursts where he completely loses his shit to see if there is a pattern there or if it is random.  it's like he gets tired of his snarky one liners not landing over and over...so he completely flips a switch like someone with dissociative identity schizophrenia.  there has to be a discernible pattern.

Yeah, it is a shock that those who have replaced religion with government totally follow the word of the government.

Wait. Aren't you vaccinated? (Allegedly). So your argument is that: you took the vaccine because it was the responsible, safe, societally beneficial thing to do; and we took it only because the government told us to? Do I have that right?

You need to ask your mom how often she dropped you as a child.
