I Had a Covid Breaking Point

[Aries]

I get it; you're very bad at reading. You don't have to keep proving it, or posting editorials from right wing media as misguided refutations of science.

Your problem is that you only read left wing trash apparently. You should listen to both side of issues before making decisions. Do you get Tucker Carlson up there?

This guy is a famous spreader of Covid misinformation. Love your neighbours? Then get the vaccine to help your vulnerable neighbours and your neighbours who are getting swamped in ICUs across the nation. A call to solidarity from those who won't do the bare minimum to step up and help us fight a pandemic that is killing hundreds of thousands is pretty hollow.

Say what you will, but watching people being treated with disdain and violence, in some cases is just pathetic. You can have your beliefs and your "facts" from known liars like Fauci and the media who we see from both extremes, bickering like children. Or the same people (and government btw) who cry protect our children and, in the next breath, throw giant fits and marches because of the 'oppression' of not being able to kill a baby growing in the womb, and then wonder why some of us don't trust what we are being told. That is what is mindblowing to me. And then, to treat those who question the vaccine as lepers or something. Even Jesus loved the lepers and blessed them and none of you are a better man or woman, for that matter, then He. So, you can sit on the high horse all you'd like but it has never been a good look, ever. Sure, disagree. But yes, love your neighbor. Vaccinated, unvacvinated, left, right, or in between. It really is not that hard for anyone. Sometimes it takes some practice, but we are all capable of it. And love does not look like all of this bull.

Bringing abortion into it, bringing Jesus into it. It's clear how cluttered your thinking is. We're talking about about a virus that has killed millions worldwide, nothing else. You talk about love, but trying to persuade others to not get vaccinated is not love. It's twisted AF.

Something I posted in another thread:

My wife is a hospital nurse and sees with her own eyes the effect Covid has had on bedspace and workload. She is utterly exhausted because the patients just keep coming with no letup. Older doctors have retired because they've had enough and this has further reduced the number of already overworked staff. Other staff have had to go on long-term sick leave due to stress, anxiety and injuries like repetitive strain injury.

My wife is close to a nervous breakdown caused by chronic stress and exhaustion. It angers and sickens me to see conspiracy theorists posting harmful misinformation here.

Do you understand why I might be angry? Can you put yourself in my shoes? Do you have that capacity for empathy?

Oh definitely. The difference between you and I is I have empathy for both sides of the issue and yes, I will bring both in because I look at the whole picture and whatever else I brought in to it are things I consider when making my decisions. I never once have tried to persuade anyone to not get vaccinated. In fact, I am in full support of those who make the decision for themselves to get the vaccine. So maybe, along with anything else, you should not speak on things you obviously know nothing about unless you know the full picture. My sister in law who is helping my brother to raise 7 kids just got the vaccine. She was unsure about it. Understandably so as she was prescribed Buspar and had a bad reaction to it. Her kids had to get the neighbor who called 911 because she had a seizure and was not breathing. And no, I am not comparing the vaccine to Buspar. Only the fear of putting something in your body with the possibility of a bad or even deadly reaction especially to something that for the most part has been deemed as safe to the general popukation. She has been working at the hospital for 2 years and that means she has helped many through COVID and went above and beyond what most people could not. She even had COVID at one point and was in quarantine from her job for fourteen days. So she obviously has developed antibodies naturally. But she was threatened with losing her job if she didn't get vaccinated. She chose what she thought was best for her and I have supported her every step of the way. See, what empathy means is seeing the suffering in another's situation instead of only focusing on the bubble of your existence. You and I are not the same.

I mean, you just called abortion "killing a baby", so a little bit hypocritical there.

 

[Fraser]

But yes, love your neighbor.

There is a very simple thing that people can do to help protect the vulnerable during this pandemic. When they refuse to do it, a call to "love your neighbour" from them sounds meaningless to me. You accuse us on focusing on the bubble of our own existence. I'm 40 and in (relative) shape; I didn't just get the vaccine to protect myself, or people like myself, from Covid precisely because I don't only focus on myself. You say that you have empathy and we don't, but our actions and ideology won't contribute to the hundreds of thousands of deaths going on right now and that's because we don't prioritize our rights over the lives of others. That's as clear cut as it gets when it comes to genuine empathy in action.

Your problem is that you only read left wing trash apparently. You should listen to both side of issues before making decisions. Do you get Tucker Carlson up there?

I don't doubt that you consider peer-reviewed science "left wing trash". I'm not sure if you're joking, but Tucker Carlson is one of the largest vectors for misinformation currently existing; history will remember his existence and influence as a tragedy.

I sure did.Not hypocritical in the least. I have empathy for the women who don't think they have any other choice because no one taught them better. I do not have empathy for crazy women on the net telling me they want to eat aborted babies. Or that go and dox me and make a whole Facebook page using my children's and my family's pictures to attack, demean, and threaten all because I think abortion is wrong. Those are the type of pro choice psychos I have regularly dealt with. Forgive me for my anecdotal examples but, yuck! I have great empathy for the ones who will lose their life before it even begins.

I do everything I can short of getting the vaccine but talk is cheap. It doesn't matter what I say. The only thing that matters to you is wether or not I have gotten the vaccine. I may even get it one day down the road when it's around long enough to see the effects of it. But you and others vehemently attacking those on the fence does not make me go "I sure do want the vaccine now! Sign me up!" I wasn't grouping anyone when I spoke about empathy. It was a direct message. I try not to see things as black or white because that is dangerous thinking as we all well know.

Why does this continue? Yikes...

Cholula is supposedly the most popular hot sauce in your state. These are the sauces used most around my house Valentina hot sauce they have a original and a extra hot version you can get a huge bottle of it cheap, Huy Fong Sriracha sauce if you haven't tried it you are missing out, La Victoria makes a good hot sauce lol taco bell hot sauce. If you really want to try something different from the rest El Yucateco hot sauce is the one to get. Look for Valentina and Huy Fong Sriracha first. They should be pretty easy to find.

The Most Popular Hot Sauce in Every State

Based on what people in each state are searching, a study uncovered what the most popular hot sauce is in every state.

Sounds like I'm making a list! GRACIAS!

No you don't. You regularly promote and support vaccine misinformation on this forum. I assume that, when it comes elsewhere, you do the same elsewhere as well. You contribute to the problem in all kinds of ways outside of choosing not to take the vaccine yourself.

But you and others vehemently attacking those on the fence does not make me go "I sure do want the vaccine now! Sign me up!"

Basing your choice off something like this is incomprehensible to me, but then I don't subscribe to a worldview that has decided to found itself on doing entirely the opposite of whatever it is liberals do.

I don't don't do anything because of liberals. But I understand your thinking lol what sort of hot sauce do you like? Or are you not much of a hot sauce guy?

No. I don't do it regularly. But I may have posted what? One article that you deemed misinformation? I don't call that regularly. Also, never assume. We know how the saying goes.. Have you ever tried Chalula?

My fiancée recently gave me an ultimatum: I stop impersonating a flamingo or she's done. I think it's time to put my foot down.

Several, not one, and continually prop up others who do the same. Someone can make an absolutely farcical claim, such as hospitals are lying about overcrowded ICUs, and it's a sure bet you'll be "liking" that post.

No I did not. And 3 links about the effectiveness of masks. That's it. Nothing to do with the vaccine, actually. Yes. I liked some posts. The shock and horror of it all!!

I need a good green chili recipe. Like my grandpa used to make.
