Like the Joe Rogan experience, but instead of bolstering morons and their conspiracy theories, I belittle them? I'm in if Bojack is.

Unvaxxed Allen West Has COVID, Pneumonia, and Low Oxygen

Earlier in the day, West had tweeted that after his wife tested positive on Friday he developed "a low grade fever and light body aches” and added that he was "already taking Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin protocols”—two ineffective drugs popular with the anti-vaxxer crowd.

He forgot the bleach and UV protocols, clearly.

At the end of the day, this is all about whether or not you want to cede control of your lives to unstable mental midgets like the ones who frequent this thread who constantly tell you what you can and can't do.

Notice how he goes after the girl in the photo and not the actual message.  That is a common response of a progressive who doesn't have a good response to the message - instead he attacks the messenger.  In effect, he's implying because he doesn't approve of the way she looks, progressives have the right to control her way of life.

New York Times Retracts Massive Exaggeration of Children Hospitalized by COVID-19

In an article published by New York Times reporter Apoorva Mandavilli on Wednesday, Times readers were told that "nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began.”

A correction issued on Thursday notes that the correct number is 63,000 between August 2020 and October 2021, which means Mandavilli exaggerated the number of child hospitalizations by 837,000 cases. Approximately 500 American children have eventually died from the disease. The exaggeration was included in a report on the debate surrounding whether and how to vaccinate children.

Mandavilli has been a controversial figure at the Times for her ideologically-colored pandemic coverage. In May, she tweeted that "Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not today.” She later deleted the tweet but not before adding "a theory can have racist roots and still gather reasonable supporters along the way. Doesn’t make the roots any less racist or the theory any more convincing, though.”

The theory has not yet been disproved. To the contrary, it has picked up a number of prominent supporters in the scientific community, including former Times reporters Nicholas Wade and Donald McNeil. McNeil was the lead coronavirus reporter at the publication prior to his being fired and smeared by the Times for uttering a racial epithet in the context of discussing its moral valence and grace on an educational trip several years ago.

The correction is notable as the nature of the threat that coronavirus poses to children figures heavily in the continued and often partisan debates over vaccine and mask mandates in schools.

While Republicans such as Florida governor Ron DeSantis maintain that such decisions should be left up to parents, President Joe Biden and American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten have advocated for mandates, insisting that they’re necessary to protect students and staff alike.

In many states and localities across the country, educators were among the first to have the opportunity to be vaccinated. The Food and Drug Administration is presently considering a proposal to authorize the Pfizer vaccine for children from the ages of 5-11, and is expected to meet to discuss the matter on October 26.

Ah lighten up.  I attack your message plenty Hidalgo. Just having a bit of fun.

I’m really struggling to find something I can’t do right now.  I’ve asked the nice heavily armed soldier guarding my door what I can’t do and even he doesn’t know.  I guess I’ll just sit at home and whine about my freedumbs like the qAbabies.

Let's be fair here and agree that there has all sorts of exaggeration and taking stats out of context all over the place with regard to COVID.

That's just dumb on so many levels. Odds of hospitalization for kids is roughly around 1 in 100, so for 900k hospitalizations to make sense, that would mean 90M infected kids which is impossible. Major math and logic fail by the NYT there. 

 

These did take years, you maroon.

Anti mask/anti vax people are being controlled like sheep just as much as the loons on the left who are causing airlines to cancel flights, healthcare workers to lose their jobs, and the crap we see at the ports with cargo ships being lined up. People on both sides need to stop finger pointing and get the freaking vax and/or wear a mask while the other side stops destroying civil liberties and destroying our economy. All we are getting instead is digging in by both while the rest of us get screwed.

Good thing they’ve been working on a coronavirus vaccine for 50 years then!  We almost have it figured out.

If only we had a leader of the free world who didn’t divide the country for 4 years before this pandemic ever got here and then continue his divisiveness long after he was told to take his ball and go home.

Started well before Orange Man though of course he took it to new dizzying heights.  In fact he was made possible very much in part because of the division already in place.

Fun fact: There are no facts here. Just words with nothing to back it up.

The group initially started promoting Marik's discredited sepsis treatment protocol as a treatment for COVID-19, and in April 2020 it circulated press releases promoting vitamin C, heparin, hydroxychloroquine and other drugs, before pivoting to ivermectin promotion in October 2020.

Oh. Well, there you go. They sound like they have a great track record.
