COVID Conspiracy Theorists and other idiots - This is not a political thunderdome or gay slapfight thread.

This is the stupidest possible take. Do we slam prison for violent offenders as segregation? It isn’t tyranny to limit access to individuals who willingly endanger aspects of society. It’s an indispensable part of the social contract.
If by "we" you mean people who aren't nuts, no, but if you include antifags and similar lunatics, yes, sometimes.
 
Realized something the other day: I haven't seen anyone bring up tuberculosis control laws when they're complaining about government overreach or when they're advocating for stronger government control.

In my state (paraphrased to avoid dox) the Health Authority has power to investigate a report of communicable tuberculosis, and then to ensure an infectious person's compliance with treatment. This is usually applied to vagrants with mental disorders who need to be kept in one place to complete their TB treatment; not a lot of otherwise-sane people leaving AMA because they don't believe TB exists.

COVID, though, if you can ambulate out on room air, by all means go sneeze on people at Wal-Mart.

I dunno, weird that the COVID truthers whose beef is personal autonomy aren't advocating to remove tuberculosis laws. And if this is all a power grab, someone should have tried a copy-paste find-replace of them for COVID.

My personal belief is there's no conspiracy, or there are just small and isolated conspiracies and grifts. It's reassuring to believe there's one single Illuminati in control of everything, but the reality is it's just human nature: greed and dipshits all the way up and down.

I am willing it bet that they do not know that law exists given their lack of intelligence. If they did they would likely complain about it if someone tried to enforce if, only after a grifter said it "violates our rights".

Most of these dipshits have little knowledge of the world beyond what pops up on their social media feeds, so because TB isn't exactly a hot topic, it's not going to be something they care or know anything about.

I actually personally ran into this shit when I went back to school at a relatively advanced age, and tested positive for TB, despite never having had any symptoms of it. If you know the skin-prick test they use, they jab you with whatever the fuck it is, and then if it visibly swells up, that's a positive. Well, it went absolutely apeshit and blew up into a ridiculous blood blister.

The doctor said he hadn't seen anything like that from anyone who wasn't literally dying of XDR-TB. Whatever.

Anyway, I had to go on a months long antibiotic regimen with vitamins to counteract the shit the antibiotics did.

I did vaguely remember that there was this coofer who was always outside smoking and coofing on the front porch of a rowhouse in this shithole street I was living in at the time. So maybe I got lucky and somehow they caught it before it turned symptomatic.

It was still a really annoying experience all around.

And as for other stories there's always Typhoid Mary. Many of these antivax speds come across as exactly this type of sociopath.
 
Blacks and Hispanics are far less likely than whites (of any political affiliation) to be vaccinated against COVID, so you all are really arguing for de facto segregation, which does indeed put you all on the same level as Jim Crow segregationists, proving once again liberals are the most racist and fascist segment of American society (most Southern segregationist were Democrats).

>Praises people who wave Confederate flags in the Capitol and kicks blacks/Jews out of restaurants
>Compares people who don't fall for anti vax bullshit to Jim Crow as a negative

Never change, you guiz.

Also, not pro mandate, so that doesn't even work on me.

That's probably about the most useless way to look at the data imaginable, not that I expect much better from the fake news. What would be more useful is the percentage of each population that is vaxed or not, not a survey of race among the entire vaxed population.

I'm just pointing out the real world effects of separating the vaxxed from the non-vaxxed. No matter how well intentioned, it still affects minorities and BIPOC negatively, and causes unemployment and in turn, poverty.

I cited two studies showing blacks and hispanics are not getting vaxed (one is from last month) are they fake news?

Something I'm not in favor of either with the sole exception of very high risk areas (ICU's, laboratories, ect...).

And my point stands. If you were okay with waving the Confederate flag in the nation's capitol, I don't wanna hear you invoke Jim Crow as a negative.

That's the key, too: take a reasonable human (or so), explain risk/benefit, they cooperate with treatment and we're cool.

The COVID timeline is so much faster than the TB timeline too, but it's like there's some kind of cordyceps phenomenon that makes COVID+ people want to go around to as many places as possible. We had a patient AMA (from their 8L oxymizer) because they agreed they had COVID but didn't think it was a big deal. About an hour later, brought in by ambulance after witnessed collapse eating a bar cheeseburger, with shopping bags in tow.

If you forget public health, that's still just rude.

What are you talking about? I agree with that.
You said it was useless to look at? But I assume you mean the images. in any event, blacks and hispanics have negative experiences with vaccines, especially sine the John Hopkins researches claimed they were giving them free vaccines when, in reality, they were deliberately infecting them with syphilis in the Tuskegee and Guatemala Syphilis studies.

What does the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia have to do with the effects of punitive vax mandates?

No I meant specifically the one count of what percentage of races were in the vaxed population. Who cares? The important thing is what percentage of each group is vaxed or not. It was a bad and really completely irrelevant use of the data. The important thing is that blacks are highly vax-resistant, arguably moreso than any group other than hardcore Trumpers.

Hispanics are also very resistant, for the same reasons blacks are.
As the white supremacist musician in Boondocks said at the end of his episode, "Rednecks are fucking stupid."
I find everyone who is unfamiliar with the Civil War and the South makes that error. Rednecks are just being deliberately obtuse when they wave it around.
