Maybe young adults aren't as stupid as we thought.

Based on my observation, many, relative to other age groups, are still wearing a mask.

Hmm. I wonder if some think they will get in trouble for not wearing one while unvaccinated and will be caught on surveillance footage unmasked.

Maybe some are reverse-virtue signaling? By wearing the mask, they are saying I am unvaxed and damn proud of it???

Pressuring and threatening people into taking an experimental vaccine is evil.

This is from 2018. Note the timing. Another profession that has allowed itself to be compromised. Pretty rich coming from them.

Anthropology in public health emergencies: what is anthropology good for?

If you're in a hurry, scroll to the conclusion. That says it all.

Juanita Martin doesn’t understand she has no credibility working for a university. The Julie Washington has the same problem.

Why would anyone get a vaccine for a disease that is no worse than the common cold for the vast majority of young adults when the risk of complications from the vaccine is higher than the disease?

Just maybe the young adults know that they have 99.999998% chance of surviving COVID...even when there’s something wrong with them...versus a largely untested and unproven vaccine.

Unfounded fears that the coronavirus vaccine causes infertility,

Also, it should be noted that the conspiracy theory that the WuFlu escaped a lab has been thoroughly debunked, like the Hunter laptop. NPR told me so.

I disagree with Catholic doctrine much of the time but I found the video in this article to be very moving.

That sounds totally wrong to me… I’m damn proud of being unvaxed, and I am damn proud of not wearing a mask.

Any reverse virtue-signaling I do is accomplished simply by telling anyone within earshot: “This whole covid reaction was stupid, and I’ve said so from the very beginning”.

“Unfounded”, perhaps, but not unproven.

Covid-

Overhyped media and political “crap” that plays on a Hollywood sensitized audience: https://parade.com/1149779/kimberlyzapata/best-virus-movies/

If Covid were to break out this very second, you would see Biden and the Democrats react very different than in 2019 - 2020 where they used it in opposition politics.

Ask yourself this: If we had the elections been 3 November 2019, how do you think things would have gone?

But the stupidity of Covid will be with us FOREVER, just like a crotch grabbing TSA, body scanners, and warrantless searches at airports. How many terrorist has a $9,000,000,000 per year TSA caught? 0. Likewise, most of the rules and policies that all these buffoons are creating today based on this pandemic accomplish NOTHING.

I had a debate with a medical doctor in this forum (or so he stated) and at work regards going to the beach (which I did). That was when they were closing the beaches. I had someone at work actually ask me, “don’t you think that is reckless?” I couldn’t take it anymore, so I asked them: Is that because of the high temperatures, the UV light, sand which a virus don’t like, salt water, or the fresh air and natural spreading out of people on a beach, unlike the recirculated air I am breathing at work? While the person shut up, you then are the bad guy because you’re not allowed to question the mass hysteria and group think.

If I were a public official and I REALLY believed in the efficacy and the safety of the vaccines for ALL ages....

I would make sure we kept an up-to-date and precisely accurate public accounting of all Covid illnesses, deaths, hospital stays, etc... by age along with the same metrics for those who got the vaccine.

There is no way that you can describe the current Covid tracker and the VAERS systems the way I described above.

Let’s say I were a 25 year old and saw that I had a 10% of catching Covid, an 5% chance of becoming ill, a 2.5% chance of becoming extremely ill, a 1% chance of being hospitalized and a .2% chance of dying from Covid.

Then lets say I saw that if I took the vaccine, I had a 50% chance of becoming ill from the vaccine and a 1% chance from becoming ill from Covid and a 3% chance of becoming extremely ill from the vaccine and a .5% chance of becoming extremely ill from Covid and .5% chance of being hospitalized from the vaccine and a .25% chance of being hospitalized from Covid, and a .01% chance of dying from the vaccine and a .005% chance of dying from Covid.

And then let’s say they had an offset/multiplier for BMI, Vit D level, A1C level, history of cancer, average blood pressure, etc...to move those percentages up or down depending on co-morbidities.

And then let’s say that ALL of these numbers were being update weekly to reflect the latest information....I would have to balance those 2 sets of data and feel that I was making the best informed decision that I could make. It is 2021. If we wanted to provide this level of visibility into the data, we could do so. I wonder why they don’t want to provide this level of visibility?

(all of those numbers were made up off the top of my head so don’t bitch about their accuracy)

You don’t need to be invincible or feel invincible to understand the meaning of “98.9% survival rate.”

If you made it through grade school math classes with C or better grades it’s pretty clear.

There would not be any evidence one way or the other for quite some time. Simple caution says you don’t do a universal vaccination without years of observation - especially to address such a low risk disease for those in the fertile ages or younger. Should some young people get vaccinated? Sure...but it is on a case by case basis.
