1000s of people, hundreds of screaming children all touching each other, and disdain for ppl who do wear it. Starting to become jokerfied asf tbh
Ignoring any policy-based valuation, he is absolutely the least charismatic politician of our time.
Like, how the fuck are you the mayor of New York and a vocal Red Sox fan lmao
complaining about immigrants not assimilating but its just when they don't assimilate the sportsteam
new york has a lot to answer for electing this guy twice
He likes ska, too, which makes me want to burn half of my records.
He couldn't have even thrown "Hasidic" in there as a qualifier? Lmao
Lmao this accidentally reads like something Hitler would tweet if he had a twitter.
Yes and it's fucking gross. I will say tho, these ppl are having way more fun than you or me. The deniers are eating Tendies, boozing, and slobbering all over each other while talking mad shit about ppl who wear the mask.
Starting to become jokerfied asf tbh
At some point I'm gonna flip the table and just join the deniers and start living life again. I mean, if there's no enforcement for absolute dickheads running around like that, and Florida, and everywhere else, what's the point?
They're out there breeding mutations while we're locking ourselves up, making massive fucking sacrifices.
I agree but I’m also waiting for that strain that fully resists the vaccine and we have to wait 8 months for the new vaccine to be approved.
Vaccine modifications don't take nearly as long to be approved as new vaccines do, which is how we can have modified flu vaccines each year. Manufacturing may be a bit of an issue, but I don't know for sure.
Yeah unfortunately maybe that’s 8 months vs a year. plus this is mRNA which is uncharted in some ways so I’m slightly pessimistic. Forget about having to distribute and redose everyone.
Yeah unfortunately maybe that’s 8 months vs a year.
Flu vaccines don't come every year because they can't be approved sooner, but because there is little need for them to come sooner than a year. Supposedly mRNA vaccines are actually a lot easier to modify, not harder. Pfizer said shifting to a new vaccine is gonna take them six weeks after the decision is taken all in all. I saw a Moderna representative say that actually coming up with the modified vaccine would only take them 2 days. That's probably hyperbolic but they're generally a good bit faster to tweak than the usual. The approval process definitely won't be a major sticking point, it's not very long usually even for less urgent stuff like the flu, I'm guessing they won't require large Phase III trials. So overall I think that if they actually take the decision it's gonna be something closer to 3 months than 8. How long will it take to mass manufacture them and redose people? Idk. Hopefully it's not gonna be as long as this time because production will have already undertaken the large necessary shift towards vaccines and the means to store, transport and administer them.
Vaccines aren't gonna prevent transmission, just reduce your chance of death in an ICU.*
The mutations are gonna keep coming.
I want to get to NZ tbh.
*Broscience, read the epidemiologists on twitter.

I follow a person who explicitly called that guy out for fear mongering.
https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout this person works on vaccines.

They are (apparently) an actual expert. Worked on the Moderna one I guess.
No disrespect to you - There's nothing persuasive or authoritative about that account apart from a grasp of the terminology.
Positivity for it's own sake has it's place, but we're beyond that place.

We're not though.
We're actively vaccinating the people who are most at risk. We're moving at an accelerating pace, the vaccines are very good.
They have a point tbh. The government isn't doing shit except lecturing us to take personal responsibility by doing difficult yet insufficient individual action. Why the fuck should we be the only ones sacrificing by doing the right thing? It's like neatly sorting your recycling while living next to a massive strip mine. Yeah, you still should do it I guess, but the same time the absolute futility has to drive you insane at some point.
I feel that way sometimes. I still live with my parents and they have been more cautious than anyone else i know (always wearing masks, only picking up carryout, staying out of stores). After 11 months of avoiding it my dad got it from a chud at his work who showed up sick and doesn't consistently wear a mask.
So now several of my family have it, while most of the fuckheads i know who ignore safety measures have avoided it just by chance.
Oh I'm sure the antisemites are having a field day with it too.
You are litterally supposed to wear extra little square garments. A mask is just one more.
Come and look at every fucking square near my house, all full with dozens of children sharing buggers with each other. For fuck sakes makes me wanna spray them with alcohol when they approach me
(They aren't hasidic, I meant everyone is shitting the bed everywhere)
