Look at what it’s done to the world. When people can’t get their Flat screens and Xboxes on Black Friday because they’re all on the cargo ships, maybe they’ll wake the F up. I mean, clearly death is not enough of a reason to get vaxxed, so perhaps a lack of Video games will be. I don't see it that way.

For people that are interested, they can find out what to do. But many, if not most people out there don't know - and there's a good percentage of those who wait too long until they call their doctor or otherwise seek medical treatment.

They all think it’s a fake virus, it’s just the flu, 99% survival rate, etc. these people won’t go get any treatment until it’s way too late. If somebody is in denial that there is a virus going around, that's on them. But there are a LOT of people out there who are not deniers but are just are not paying attention to the details and don't know.

What if I were to tell you my friend died a couple of weeks ago and was fully vaccinated. There are these things called breakthrough infections. People like you use vaccines as an excuse to justify ignorance on treatment options - and the two are not mutually exclusive. Honestly, it's disgraceful on your part.

How bout once you experience symptoms, you get tested, and if you test positive, you run to the nearest place to get treated with Regeneron, or arrange to get treated at home? Good idea?
October 12, 20215 yr Regeneron is very expensive. I'll stick with being vaccinated and serious reduce the risk of needing Regeneron ahead of time.
October 12, 20215 yr Let’s see, in one year; flu vaccine, phenomenon vaccine, tetanus vaccine, both Pfizer shots, another flu vaccine and COVID booster and I’m still breathing. Hopefully I’ll still be alive in the next 10yrs.

We should start keeping a list of all these convenient acquaintances you have you social butterfly. And in no way shape or form have I excuses ignorance on treatments. If you get symptoms call your doctor. However if at every turn you downplay and question the best preventative treatment against serious illness we have against serious COVID infection, by a MASSIVE margin, but pump up snake oil like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin your motives aren't scientific, they're political. Or you're just a rube who doesn't know any better and are just parroting what other idiots have told you.
October 12, 20215 yr 11 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: So are you ready to finally answer the question on whether ivermectin or the vaccine is better for prophylactic purposes? I don't know too much about Ivermectin as a prophylactic and wouldn't tout it's use preventative over a vaccine. Could it be prophylactic? Maybe - but who would want to be taking that kind of medication if it wasn't necessary. If there's a serious outbreak going on, maybe it would be a good idea to go on a regimen until things calm down - regardless of vaccination status. I don't know. Seems to me that so long as the vaccines are leaky and there is incidence of breakthrough infection it should be explored.

This is why you're the punchline of this thread.

Over 700,000 Americans have died because of Covid. I'd call that pretty serious.
