    "NIH director Francis Collins: “It may sound weird” but parents should wear masks at home in front of their unvaccinated kids"

    Absolutely no one is going to do that

    Was just listening to this clip where one of his Sam Harris' listeners asks him why he doesn't have Bret Weinstein on his show so they can debate their "different senses of reality" on vaccines, ivermectin etc (starts about 10 min in).

    https://samharris.org/podcasts/a…

    It's funny how Harris has evolved from promoting these people like Weinstein and Joe Rogan to totally denouncing them in the space of a year or so.

    Towards the end he mentions something that is pretty shocking which is that in spite of being the country that bought up and hoarded the global supply of mRNA vaccines and it being as easy as walking down to the local pharmacy to get vaccinated, the USA is now only #37 in terms of vaccination rate.

    Poor developing countries like Mongolia now have a higher vaccination rate than the USA, and unfortunately I don't think you can dismiss the role of reflexive contrarianism and pseudo-intellectual misinformation in all this.

    • Mono is still living in the present. What a clown!palimpsest
    • The argument against anti-vaxxers using their freedom to not take the vaccine is that them not taking it affects us all.palimpsest
    • But the choice of those that take the vaccine also affect us all. That's why we are fighting for you to not take the vaccine.palimpsest
    • No, the vaccine has no effect.

    Why are the "natural immunity" folks so deadset against masks and vaccines? How exactly does anti-vaccine rhetoric translate into a kickstart for the economy?

    • masks = stupidity; proof of vaccination (especially in communities that had significant spread) = too much like some "isms" of the past century.pr2
    • pr2 what is your suggestion? If herd immunity worked, wouldn't it have happened by now?yuekit
    • Vaccines are preventing herd immunity because they prevent you from getting covid which gives you more protection than a vaccine.palimpsest
    • We can't have herd immunity if everybody gets vaccinated because herd immunity only comes from unvaccinated people.palimpsest
    • and 95% of preventable covid deaths are from unvaccinated people too, so there's thatmonospaced
    • But the percent of deaths from covid is not significant (not enough people are dying). That is at the base of the disagreement.palimpsest
    • The measures being taken is not proportional to the amount of deaths and these measures are harming a more significant number than the number of dead.palimpsest
    • At least that is how I've always understood it. The numbers and research on both sides are just to spice things up. It's a spectator sport by now.palimpsest
    • Wait wut? Showing proof of vax to dine & mask mandates are "harming a more significant number than the number of dead" ?????nb
    • I love the logic of "get covid to protect you from covid"robotinc
    • Because it's harming the economy, and having a negative effect on people's mental health.palimpsest
    • "The numbers and research on both sides are just to spice things up"
      That's why I like to do my own research

    • Both sides are the sides presenting their research results on QBN. To be clear.palimpsest
    • Again, can you explain how removing mask and vaxx mandates would kickstart the economy?!nb
    • There are plenty of places where the majority are ignoring Heath recommendations and I don’t see their economies improving at allnb
    • By increasing the number of customers: vaccinated and not vaccinated, you increase sales.palimpsest
    • Many areas are already doing that. Economy is still shit.nb
    • Then that settles it.

    When all schools in NYC shut down going remote at begging of the pandemic, my wife found a local religious school that stayed open so the kid at least went to school full time (sadly, in mask with plastic dividers between students and no real between-students play).

    Today I ran into my 6yo's pre-k teacher. Sadly, they are forced to go with the same set-up this year. I gotta say, my heart sank.

    Of 20mil under 18yo infected, there were 330 deaths. The mortality in this age group is so low, this means that your child is 2x as likely being stuck by lightning than dying from covid.

    When will this madness end?

    • https://youtu.be/V9O…GuyFawkes
    • Again. The masks on kids is about slowing the spread, not keeping them safe. How you still don’t understand I do not know.monospaced
    • fuck you with your slowing the spread. you are slowing absolutely NOTHING.pr2
    • It’s not me who made the call, asshole. It was the experts and elected leaders.monospaced
    • so start pointing out the stupidity in their call. You want to glue some cloth to my face = fine; but if you stop kids from being the kids you gotta a fight.pr2

    • how about fuck you with your spreading jerk-off fantasies, and lets deal with reality on the ground of what is ACTUALLY happening?pr2
    • How do you not get that the survival rates of children are a big problem? Ignoring the long-term and possibly life-long effects post-infection..garbage
    • ..these kids are walking in vitro experiments and mutation reservoirs. Stop being such a bitch about wearing a mask and being collectively responsible.garbage
    • dude, there were 49 lightning strike deaths last year in the US and 3 were children, NOT 660 as your math seems to conclude. 1 unnecessary kid death is too man_niko

    • 1. ask parents and teachers about their comfort level.
      2. put kids of parents and teachers, that for whatever reason are scared, in the same group.
      pr2

    • this is anecdotal, but every teacher i spoke to see the profound damage this abnormal situation does to the kids's psyche.pr2
