Good lord. I came to this thread looking for some good old fashioned  fucking around and finding out, and all I get is a page and a half of fart sniffing, pedantic drivel, and cheeseburger porn

There’s also the personal trainer who does jizz shooters

Glenn Beck has Covid for the second time. It's in his lungs.  But no worrries ... he's taking Ivermectin.
 

 

Fun reminder for everyone that Glenn Beck is worth a quarter BILLION dollars.

Shouldn't Beck have natural immunity because he already had it once?  

I thought folks have been saying Natural immunity/antibodies dont last nearly as long as a vaccine, and with different variants there's always a chance a new infection could go sideways. As of last summer or August, Hudson Card had had covid 3 times already, for example. Folks get Colds and The Flu every year, for example.

Not just folks, but experts.  Natural immunity from earlier variants has not been shown to be effective against Omicron.  Vaccinated (but unboosted) immunity has been more effective than natural and unvaccinated against Omicron, but still less than 50 percent effective in preventing infection.  Unclear to what extent unboosted but vaccinated has been effective against severe COVID.  Vaccinated and boosted has been lab tested to be somewhat more effective against infection (I think it was up around 80 percent IIRC) and has been shown to be extremely effective against severe COVID.

This is from my recollections from the NYT Daily podcast a week or so ago.  Will post link if you'd like to hear it for yourself.

Thanks, but I don't need the link. When I said "folks" I meant doctors and experts and such. My family and I are still in the "try not to get it until vaccines are available to our 4 year old" camp. Which sadly looks like it's not going to happen Feb at best now, which means he likely won't be fully protected until summertime, at best.

People has a continuously updated list of celebs who died from it.   Forgot Joe Diffie was in that mix, and damn 2020 feels like such a long time ago   


https://people.com/health/celebrity-coronavirus-deaths/

of those ~50 people, I only recognized Cloris Leachman, Charley Pride, Tommy Lister (recognized him, but would not have been able to tell you his name), Herman Cain, John Prine, and Joe Diffie.

Would bet someone worth that much (Beck) is vaccinated and just doesn't talk about it to his followers.  Similar to the Rogan thing.

the tinfoil hat types on r/hermancainaward are speculating that he's not only vaccinated but is faking it. I don't agree - he's a true believer and is likely not vaccinated (as he says). 

they are also struggling to abide by Rule 2 of that subreddit (not to root for the disease).

Yeah.  I'm not sure if he's a true believer or an actor.  I'm kind of surprised he's still around in terms of being popular with a crowd.  Is he on any cable channel or are people just tuning into some platform he has?

Beck is not an actor.  He really believes the bullshit he puts out there.  Trump is a guy who tells you the virus is a hoax and then lines up in front of Ted Cruz to get vaccinated.

Good rule of thumb - if they work for Fox then they are definitely vaccinated. The overwhelming majority of GOP elected officials (with a few kooky exceptions) are vaccinated. 

The radio show guys and gals? They likely aren't if they say they aren't.

I think he bailed on Fox News to go start his own platform (he had a popular show).  He was pushing the Tea Party people on Fox News when the others had bailed on them.

He also had a few Pepe Sylvia moments on Fox News, complete with blackboards.

I don't know if he was fired, contract renewed, or what, but I got the feeling based on comments he made about how Limbaugh was in control of his branding and had his own media empire, that he felt he could replicate Limbaugh's success.

The best part was Shep Smith's ridicule of him while he was also at Fox.

 I ever tell you about the time Susanna Hoffs and I met up in a Waffle House bathroom?  I think it was her.  Was never too sure.  Somebody was scatted, smothered, and covered though.

This one all over the place.  That last pic she tweeted is horrifying imo whether 'deserved' or not.  That's a human animal knowing death is very likely coming. 

That’s a hell of a cold. She also seems to think that the protein made from the mRNA stays in our bodies forever. As if we have no way to break them down, and every protein we ever make in our lives is in our blood.

Anyone remember Heidi Hitt, the Longview realtor, anti-vaxxer and spreader of social media bullshit who, along with her husband, caught the covids back in November and wound up in the ICU for a few weeks?

Well, the both eventually recovered after a few weeks in the ICU.  Do you think that stopped her from posting anti-vax shit?

There's no doubt Marjorie Taylor Greene is vaccinated.

Jesus, there are some mind-numbingly stupid comments on that thread. You know what helps more than trying to find Regeneron, which Biden apparently purposely is keeping from "red" states, and Ivermectin and other after-the-fact medications? The vaccine.

A bunch of Surly posters are now contacting friends and arranging for similar tweets to be posted after they pass away.

“if anything happens to me, you tell every woman i’ve ever gone out with that i was talking about her at the end. that way they’ll have to reevaluate me.”
