Now for full disclosure this was in the 70s during his peak addiction phase. Not that it really excuses it but still. 

Really makes you rethink "In a white room with black curtains” :huh:

Alright, you can call Clapton a racist all you want, but them's fightin' words!

RE: Hopkins, why do celebrities with millions of followers, even bother deleting Tweets? Like, bro, it's already out there. It's published; you can't hide from it. Just cover your eyes and don't read the response if you can't handle the backlash. You're gonna look like a pus$y either way.

This graph is huge if true:

Apparently his sister's boyfriend got it and immediately developed heart issues that, while rare, are absolutely occurring in thousands in people who have gotten the vaccine. I honestly don't know why dems can't handle people having a difference of opinion than them on this subject. If a young, healthy individual accepts the risks associated with getting Covid and chooses not to get the vaccine, it really shouldn't be a big deal to anyone. If you trust the vaccine to either prevent you from getting the virus or at least prevent you from becoming seriously ill if you catch the virus, you really shouldn't worry if other people don't want it.

I mean, I can handle a difference of opinion, but it doesn't seem like Hopkins in this situation can handle the reaction to it. So, he doesn't have to get the vaccine if he doesn't want to, but retiring over it? Kinda seems like an overreaction.

One take on the issues with variants.  From the Nbcnews website.

The interesting thing about the Yankees second outbreak was that all three vaccines were represented in those who tested positive. None of them had symptoms which was great. The mRNA vaccines claim 95% efficacy against becoming asymptomatic (even Delta) but without testing everyone all the time we'll never know if that's accurate. As long as people continue getting only mild symptoms with the vaccine it really doesn't matter.

Right, so why the hurt feelings and pouting when someone doesn't want to get it?

That smell is back. What is that? Did somebody smear a fecal loaf on a diseased warthogs ass?

I'm not pouting. 99.5% of the people dying in the US right now are unvaccinated. Why would that upset me?

Where are you seeing this? It was estimated to be roughly 90% efficacy in prevent asymptomatic spread with the original strain, so it can't be 95% when it comes to delta.

I might be thinking "symptomatic". All of these numbers are starting to blend together.

Yeah, you're visibly butthurt about athletes who don't want it.

Yea it was 95% efficacy against symptomatic disease, but that was og covid, delta has dropped that to 85-90% now.

Butthurt? No. Mocking? Absolutely.

On July 8, he posted another anti-vaccine joke and criticized what he termed undue pressure to encourage people to take the shot. He wrote alongside the post: "i'm not against it, i'm just not in a rush to get it… ironically, as I continue to lay here, in South Corona, in my covid ward isolation room fighting off the virus and pneumonia. And no, i will not be getting vaccinated once i am discharged and released."

Well, now you're dead.

Absolutely, and yet we have so many idiots that think it doesn't work that well so what's the point.

Yeah. And then the people who are worried about what it will do to their bodies as they're dying. FYI, you can't use your body anymore after you die.

Exactly, which is what I've been suggesting in here for the last couple of days.  Israel is the leading example right now as they are the furthest in to the delta wave while also having large numbers of vaccinated people.  So far they see LOTS of cases but very low rates of hospitalization/death.  The UK is just behind them from a timing perspective.

It isn't time to celebrate but things look good so far regarding the question of how the vaccines will hold up vs. delta.  Boosters will be given to those at risk due to underlying conditions in any case.
