Originally posted by Gondwanaland View PostTell me, were you and people like you going into such rabid histrionics before 2020 toward people when people didn't get the flu vaccine?
Although I would note that for three reasons it is less important than the Covid vaccine:
1. Covid's death rate is higher, 3x-10x that of the flu according to a brief google.
2. I believe the flu vaccine has less efficacy, as numerous different strains of the flu exist, and the vaccine makers each year try to guess in advance which flu strains might be big in the coming season and vaccinate against those particular ones, but if they guess wrong the flu vaccine can be relatively ineffective.
3. The flu is less contagious than covid, meaning only around 25%-30% of the population needs immunity to the flu / to have had a working vaccine against it, in order to achieve 'herd immunity', while with the delta variant of Covid around 85% of the population needs immunity in order to achieve herd immunity. So effort needs to be made to get a higher number vaccinated against it.
There was, of course, a time 100 years ago when the flu pandemic swept the globe (and some lesser ones since, though they were still terrible). Hopefully now with flu vaccines that's vastly less likely to happen again.
I do encourage the vaccine skeptics to go have a read about Smallpox, a disease that was more infectious than covid and used to kill 30% of infected people and permanently disfigure many of the survivors. Thankfully through worldwide vaccination programs it was eradicated.Last edited by Starlight; 07-25-2021, 09:37 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Starlight View PostWell it does seem standard in US politics these days. But it's one thing for Republicans to lie daily, but Democrats are supposed to be about being better than that.
Part of the explanation, I think, is the way elections and politics are held in the US - specifically, the moneyed interests bankrolling both parties, or wealth surpemists as I heard them called once.Last edited by EvoUK; 07-26-2021, 03:46 AM.

President Trump was far more transparent than any other US president in recent memory. He regularly invited the media to his cabinet meetings, he wasn't afraid to have a sit-down interview with an "unfriendly" network, and he held frequent impromptu press conferences, sometimes multiple times a day as he was going to and from various functions where he substantively answered every question put to him. I know liberals have latched onto the narrative that President Trump was a habitual liar, but I wonder, if that's true, then why did the media feel compelled to tell so many lies about him?
Contrast that with Joe who has never held an impromptu press conference and has infrequent sit-down interviews exclusively with "friendlies" who ask him a series of scripted softball questions that he still can't manage to answer coherently. And even then, Joe says a lot of things that simply aren't true, but it's hard to know if he's being intentionally deceptive, or if he's simply confused. And we're supposed to be believe that more people voted for this buffoon than voted for Barack Obama. Right.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
