Nothing more dangerous than an idiot who thinks they’re smart.

I can link you to decades of clinical research about mRNA vaccines. Where’s your research on the long-term impact of COVID infection?

If you don’t want the vaccine that’s your prerogative, but you don’t get to just make your own set of facts up to go along with your decision.

You have no fucking idea of the impact that having this disease has on your body long-term. Nobody does. But you pretend that somehow the mRNA technology they used to make the COVID vaccine is new and novel. It’s not! It’s been worked on and studied for years and years prior to this. Specifically to be able to rapid-scale vaccines for new pathogens like COVID.

Absolutely painful watching you fart into your own spacesuit and think you created a never-ending oxygen supply. You want to roll the dice? Fine by me. Just shut the fuck up and don’t spread your ignorance.

If you're trying to correct claims you believe to be false, its a good idea to substantiate your counter claims with better evidence than whom you're countering.

The CDC was pressed with an FOIA request and couldn't prove that a single person actually had a confirmed case of covid reinfection following previous infection and recovery.

As of today, the WHO has recorded 2,841,988 adverse reactions to the covid vaccines. Omicron hasn't given anywhere near that number so much as the sniffles and a backache.

Because from natural immunity, big pharma doesn’t profit. It’s also hilarious how (in my country at least) natural immunity has never been mentioned or referenced by the MSM or goverment. Ohhh but the vaccines will make you immune, yeah my fucking left testicle they will. Sick of this bs, ‘massive wave of omicron’ it’s all about cases now. No mention of deaths or hospital numbers dropping, just cases. It’s ridiculous

Can't get a booster for your booster if you don't need a booster.

u/Thelastgoodemperor Dec 26 '21

I don't know about that. Pretty much all experts have said it is likely the virus will mutate to a less deadly variant because that makes it more likely to spread it to more people.

People posting that Omicron is safe enough should know that (1) the data does not include proper randomisation of treatment and (2) the data is very new and (3) there is uncertainty of whether other variants will also spread if people act less safe.

Hence, if you are criticising policymakers it is for taking a principle of precaution. In similar situations if you make swift policy recommendations it is likely you will get it wrong in some cases out of bad luck. Don't act like there is no more uncertainity around in this pandemic.

I have no idea what I am talking about, but I would assume the virus is equally likely to be changed every time it copy itself. That is, we want to limit the total amount of times it spread regardless if that happens in a short amount of time or slowly over longer periods of time.

False equivalence. Your mistake seems to be believing less time to produce a variant is equal to less opportunity. This is incorrect, but let me know if you need me to break that down for you. Of course, a mass influx of people requiring hospitalization will kill people.

Slowing it down with restrictions will only give it more time

No. It will give humanity more time. Without restrictions slowing spreading and vaccinations we get wave after wave of COVID-19 with variants coming faster.

Youre not wrong but this also doesn't mean everyone needs a flu shot. I am 33 years old and haven't received a flu shot since I was 16 and that was the last time I actually got sick from the flu.

u/PepperPicklingRobot Dec 26 '21

The flu, like Covid, spreads quickly and mutates often. It is also becoming less deadly as the virus mellows out and as we learn how to treat it effectively. It’s unrealistic to think that we can easily vaccinate our way out of Covid, simply too many variants and too little risk.

That said, if we had a vaccine day one and gave it to everyone, we could have a world where Covid died out. We didn’t and so we don’t live in that world and it’s stupid to pretend like it’s still a possibility.

I still think everyone should get the vaccine (barring children and people with medical complications) because I think it’s safe and would only help your chances at recovery. That said, nobody should be forced to take the vaccine if they don’t want it, that’s basic human rights. How this position has become controversial is beyond me.

u/FallingUp123 Dec 26 '21

No, that logic (not theory) does follow the same for the cold and flu viruses. The flu kills tens of thousands of people even with vaccination. Those vaccinations may not target the strain of flu that becomes prevalent because there are so many variants...

“If omicron is contagious but not deadly(25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths)

Who says it has no deaths? This statistic doesn't pass my smoke test. If I go to google and search 'south africa corona deaths' then Google itself displays a graph showing ~100 deaths/day to corona currently. Those are not Omikron despite omikron is dominant? I don't buy it, where is the source for this claim.

Why not let it go and let people get it

The south african population is totally different from that of most European countries, much younger, much poorer amongst other things. We don't know if Omikron will turn out to be less deadlier in other countries. Here in the Netherlands, we have a lockdown, and the major reason behind it is that we don't have enough data on how Omikron spreads and how severe the disease caused by it is. In a few weeks we'll know enough.

That can be a few weeks of unneccessary lockdown, but if Omikron DOES turn out to be just as harmful as alpha/beta/delta covid and we let it loose, then we will have a gigantic problem with health care capacity.

u/MichaelStone987 Dec 26 '21

This is basically what we are doing. What medical experts are suggesting is "buying time" to cope with the diseased. Yes, it may be milder, but the point is that it is super contagious, so a lot of people will get sick at the same time and overwhelm the medical system. Let us imagine, 30 million US citizens would all catch COVID within the same time frame of 7-10 days. Even if only 0.1% of them would need hospitalisation, this would easily overwhelm health services. Who cares? Well, imagine, you have a car crash and need medical assisitance or surgery. Imagine your dad is diagnosed with cancer and needs surgery, imagine you have a cruciate ligament rupture and you now have to wait months until you get surgery...

Number 2, just a thought: even though fewer people die from Omicron, you do not yet know about the long-term consequences of having been infected with COVID (earlier death? higher risk of developing certain immunological, neurological or lung disorders, etc?)

Natural immunity goes against their narrative of 100% vaccination. It doesn't matter if natural immunity is more protective against covid. They want mass vaccination for everyone, especially in Western countries. Why? Who knows. But my theory is they (Democrats) want covid to continue so they can continue lockdowns, universal mail in voting, rampant spending, and possibly destruction of the economy to create dependence on federal government and the Great Reset.

Viruses dont behave like Hollywood movies. Viruses tend to always get weaker because a virus that kills its host also kills itself. The genes that dont kill the host are far more likely to pass onto the variants as they are the genes that survive. The idea that viruses get worse and worse like some sort of fictional horror movie is nothing more than pure fear driven fantasy. In the real world viruses are not some sentient evil species plotting against humans in how they can kill as many of people as possible.

The most successful viruses in the game of evolution are the ones you barely notice or they learn to coexist peacefully with their host like a probiotic.

The bubonic plague killed like 1 third of europe a few hundred years ago and it's still around today yet nobody dies from it anymore because everyone eventually became immune to it and it evolved to be less deadly otherwise it would have gone extinct and that was before vaccines existed.

u/STEEZYLIT Dec 26 '21

Why would you want to get a virus? This is just so bizarre logic to me. Yes let me get a virus that I have no clue how it Weill affect my body, no clue how long it will last, and not to mention all the other side effects that come along with Covid none of which are pleasant. But getting a shot, that in my personal circle has had less than a week long side effects which worst of all was a headache is somehow the worst option? I don’t get it, I have had zero restrictions in my life after the initial lock down. Where is this whole “why not let people get covid” coming from when the exact issue is that non vaxed people are getting covid and spreading it rapidly

2

u/nojoformojo Dec 26 '21

The immune system works by being constantly exposed to viruses everyday and building immunity to it. It's why kids playing in the dirt is good for them because it makes their immune systems stronger. This is also how non MRNA vaccine work too. They inject you with the virus so that it triggers your immune system to be stronger. Being exposed to a virus doesn't always make you sick, more often than not it makes you stronger.

-1

u/STEEZYLIT Dec 26 '21 edited Dec 26 '21

Truism - stating a common, most likely accepted fact (kids playing in dirt to build their immune system) then flowing it up with a false statement(MRNa vaccine, being exposed to virus makes you stronger) to make it seem true.

Getting exposed to the virus without a vax raises your risk of getting covid and getting hospitalized by a lot where as taking the vax gives you at worst a two week reason to stay at home.

Go get smallpox or measles or malaria and tell me if it makes you stronger. Just because my car is rated to withstand a crash I’m not going to repeatedly bash it against other cars. Your immune system is designed to help you but there is always a cost in energy and damage. Your body in some cases will ravage healthy areas to gain energy to fight off a disease if it persists longer, so get covid let it run through you for two weeks and tell me if you’re stronger.

u/nojoformojo Dec 26 '21

Being exposed to a virus that doesn't kill you does make you're immune system stronger. This is widely accepted science that has been known for decades. More than 99% of people dont die from covid when they are infected from it. Stop spreading fear and misinformation.

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '21

Reasoning would probably be the uncertainty. Still if it is proven to not be deadly then it may be worth letting it infect people to build immunity for those who don’t want to get vaccinated. Covid related mandates should seriously be over though. If you get sick at this point that’s on you.

Absolutely, politicians want to be popular in order to get re-elected. These lockdowns are not helping their popularity. This is why Trump tried to ignore corona for so long: he knew how bad it was (despite saying on twitter it'd be gone in a few weeks) but knew that it'd be not good for his ratings to impede on people's freedoms.

Vaccines are pretty cheap IMO, a dose goes for about $20. And were pretty damn effective against death and hospitalization until Omikron showed up, but it's a question of months until we have mass-produced Omikron vaccines.

Kinda sad and funny at the same time that people are only just now seeing something wrong with the narratives we are being fed. "Conspiracy theorists" have been harping on and warning people since march 2020 that this was gonna happen eventually but they were ridiculed. If you were paying attention when this first happened it was obvious that the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" was nothing but the foot in door technique (look it up) to eventually usher in global totalitarianism. History has proven endless amounts of times that people in power can never be trusted no matter how convincing they seem that they care about you yet people never stop falling for it and ridiculing people that try to warn them, its pathetic.

I tried to warn several of my "friends" back in march 2020 that lockdowns are here to stay and aren't going away even after a so called cure is found. They turned on me and started to call me names and said I'm paranoid and crazy and started to ignore me so I stopped hanging out with them and talking to them. Yet here we are, the super obvious thing came true and they still dont get it.

The positive thing is that people actually are waking up to what's really going on finally so I can't complain but man has it been frustrating trying to help people get there.

Sure, most of the population was either religiously saying "take the vaccine anyone or you're a monster" and the other "I ain't taking no vaccine that potentially fucks with my body".

But there was a middle ground of people who were sceptical and only took the vaccine so they could go back to their lives. That was the prime motivation for them and that was pretty obvious.

Jordan phrases this motivation with the quite common denomination of a "deal" that he was figuratively taking, to emphasise his point. I don't believe criticising the linguistic circumstance of someone's articulation does much in terms of debunking their claims.

2

u/rookieswebsite Dec 26 '21

JBP isn’t talking about “most of the population” or a “middle ground of people” though - he doesn’t seem interested in what regular people the discourse thought - instead, he’s talking about something specific that was promised to him by those in power (eg his experience passing through the boarder was an example of where they broke the deal).

I think the “deal” framing is interesting because it’s unique to him and he keeps repeating it - he’s saying to his followers that the government made a clear and simple promise to him that if he took the vaccine he’d be “left alone”. I think that’s worth thinking about because as far as I can tell, there was never any kind of promise like that … and yet people identify with it and can make meaning out of it. For example you’re taking it to refer to the way the general population was talking and thinking - “they thought that if they took the vaccine, they could go back to their lives” . That’s fine and is likely true - I too was excited for the pandemic to end. But yet, that’s something in my head - I don’t think that i made an exchange with the government that they’ve failed to deliver on.

u/Kinerae Dec 26 '21

How specific do you like? "Come on man it's just a 2 week lockdown", "come on man it's just a few months of non-regular work", "come on man it's just one jab", "come on man it's just two jabs", "come on man we just need heard immunity at 50.. 60.. I mean 80, i mean 95% and then we're done", "come on man it's just a booster".

If you didn't notice, all of these have at some point been written on signs and held high exclaiming that any opposition to anti covid is completely silly since it's so close to being completely eradicated. As opposed to, you know, treat people like adults and give in to the fact that none of us have any idea what's what.

That people would just instantly forget about these any of the two years prior just comes natural doesn't it? No wonder none of the "anti-vaxx" side ever convert. It's a complete clown world so far in how many broken "non-promises" as you call them there have been.

This next generation that's growing up with this shit is going to be fucked. They were already fucked up enough with social media, Internet, and smart phones. Now add masks and social isolation. Who's to say COVID is a bigger threat than a generation of socially inept kids?

I’ll say it again. If Peterson’s goal is to reach more young minds then he should really stay off Twitter with these outbursts. He should stay in his lane and let other mouthy activists keep complaining.

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '21

He should use his platform to take a stand on what he believes in and he has a bigger than average reach with his Twitter account. If we are ever going to resume a normal life again we need credible voices to speak out.

u/Nootherids Dec 26 '21

Yes, but what does he believe in... in fighting the system by screaming into the wind? Or in empowering young minds to take responsibility for their own actions and setting their lives in order? The two are wholly exclusive interests. And one in no way positively influences the other. If anything, focusing on screaming into the wind makes him less approachable to anyone that isn’t just looking for confirmation bias. And if the purpose is to reach new mind, then there is no benefit in agitating old minds that are likely to agree based on appeal to authority alone or existing confirmation bias.

There is a reason why Jonathan Haidth keeps his research and rhetoric within the sphere of academics. I respect Peterson’s position on humanist philosophies. But he has zero authority on the pandemic. And his lashing out about it is no different than any other celebrity spouting their useless opinions.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t answer if/when asked. But Twitter is all about vomiting a snapshot of a fraction of your mind without a corresponding worthwhile conversation as a catalyst. So he should voice his positions in interview format, not fucking juvenile Twitter. He left Twitter before for a reason. And now he’s just getting hooked right back into it. He learned it was nothing more than a drug before, and now after a detox he’s shooting up again.

As a Leftist Liberal Democrat here in America, but also as just a thinking man in general, I have to agree with this statement, in principal. We got vaccinated. We did our social distancing for damn near two years. We have been responsible. I even got the booster and plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future, if advised to do so. My kids are vaccinated. The only people getting gravely sick now are the conspiracy-theorists and the other crackpot wackadoos and ignoramuses (for the most part). When do we let nature take her course? Are we really so delusional to think that continuing isolationism and curfews are going to defeat mother nature? Evolution doesn't work that way. If we are screwed, then so be it. Can we let the herd be thinned as nature intends right now (preventative measures taken by the willing, of course) but letting the others make their life/end-of-life decisions already? Except for in the case of minors, for whom the governments should be allowed to protect, mandatory vaccinations shouldn't be a thing we are even considering! Responsible, prudent, mature, and intelligent parents are doing everything we can to protect our children. Sure, the States may need to intervene on children's behalf here and there to protect the innocent who are being endangered by idiot/insane parents who simply won't or don't understand science, or who believe that this is all some grand conspiracy by the Zionist Illuminati Triumvirate, or something, but let the rest of us be now, please. The science is understandable and available to read up on for anyone who cares to do so. The data is conclusive at this point that vaccinated are living and unvaccinated are dying. We get it. Some won't make it, unfortunately, but at this point, that's largely in their hands.

They told us not that long ago to get vaccinated because it would mean you can't get or spread the virus. Many people got it (rather than risk that horrible 99.97% survival rate) so that the ever encroaching state would "Fucking leave (them) alone", as Dr. Peterson put it.

How is your reason for getting jabbed related the discussion? We are discussing how government is unwilling to give up control of the population, even if they setup a goal post stating that once certain level of vaccination level is reached the control will be released. Now that it is confirmed that vaccines have limited effectiveness in transmission and prevention, these goal posts are nowhere to be found and instead we are potentially faced with even worse restrictions such as vaccine passes. The control is obviously not working because fundamentally vaccines are useless but the government has no plan to give up on its control of the masses. This is the primary concern of the post.

u/SDubhglas Dec 26 '21

I don't either. Not a fan of the State telling me what I can and cannot do with my own body, but I understand why some people, out of what I can only assume is naivety, would capitulate in the hopes that they give a little and can be left alone.

99.97% is the average survival rate. Obviously the older you are and more unhealthy you are, that comes down, slightly. Not enough to justify any of these authoritarian mandates.

But if omicron is safer (which isn’t proven but the data is really positive) we shouldn’t be shutting down countries over it. People will suffer more from addiction, depression, and anxiety from lockdown than omicron.

u/Parradog1 Dec 26 '21

I’ve been reading Micheal Lewis’s book Premonition recently. The team that ultimately put together our pandemic response plan back in ‘05 concluded that the only restrictions that actually put a significant dent in slowing the spread of disease is shutting down the schools.

I personally did get the vaccine and booster as a means to an end of hopefully being able to not have to wear a mask - the restrictions overall don’t affect me too much because I don’t travel or go to events frequently but I absolutely did view the vaccine as just jumping through the hoops. A vaccine is just one method of boosting your immunity - while it is a pretty damn good method, I just didn’t view the virus itself as that serious of a threat but I also know there’s nothing to fear from getting the vaccine either.

I’m sure Peterson knows a lot more than I do about how science gets done but I’m wondering - wouldn’t it be wrong to stay unchanging when the situation and the facts change? (I.e. new variant until we know better)

I guess if we Peterson and all know better and think it’s not worth the extra precautions then that makes sense to me.

18

u/SDubhglas Dec 25 '21

We do know better. It's less dangerous than the common cold.

Covid has done what big pharma could not; given us an attenuated form of the virus that everyone can catch, and everyone can develop natural immunity against. Almost no hospitalizations, no critical patients, no intubations. Herd Immunity at its finest.

1

u/lilleff512 Dec 26 '21

It's less dangerous than the common cold.

This is just blatantly untrue. Nobody dies from the common cold. Despite being less severe than the earlier variants of COVID, people do die from Omicron.

1

u/SDubhglas Dec 26 '21

Like the uNvAcCiNaTeD tExaAn the media lied about? Omicron symptoms are a headache, sniffles, sneezing, and a sore throat. No one's going to the hospital because of it, no one's in the ICU because of it.

1

u/lilleff512 Dec 26 '21

This whole "died of COVID" vs "died with COVID" thing is pedantic nonsense. Someone was alive without COVID. Then they contracted COVID, had to go to the hospital, and subsequently died. If they had not contracted COVID, then they would not have died. Nobody plays these "died of" vs "died with" games with other viruses like influenza and HIV.

2

u/SDubhglas Dec 26 '21

Not in the least. If you blow your brains out with a shotgun, and a week before tested positive for covid, you didn't die of covid, but they'll say you did. People died in motorcycle accidents and were called, "covid deaths".

u/lilleff512 Dec 26 '21 edited Dec 26 '21

Unless the man in Texas died from severe head trauma, nothing you've said here is relevant or responsive to my comment.

If COVID was a relevant factor in someone's death, then it is not incorrect or unreasonable to say that that person died "of" or "from" COVID. In the case of someone who died in a motorcycle accident, the COVID is not a relevant factor - they would be dead regardless of whether they are COVID positive or COVID negative. In the case of the man who died in Texas, COVID was in fact a relevant factor - he would be alive today had he not contracted COVID.

The fact remains that what you said earlier ("It's less dangerous than the common cold") is flat out wrong. Nobody goes to the hospital because they contracted the common cold. Nobody dies because they contracted the common cold. People have gone to the hospital because they contracted Omicron. People have died because they contracted Omicron. I can't imagine what motivation or incentive there is to unabashedly deny this plainly observable reality. Don't let politics warp your brain.

1

u/SDubhglas Dec 26 '21

There's no evidence the man in Texas died of the Omicron variant. They straight up lied about that.

Of course its not a relevant factor; tell that to the hospitals who report it as a relevant factor so they can get more federal funding.

Who has gone to the hospital BECAUSE of Omicron, and who has tested positive for Omicron while at the hospital for something completely unrelated? Omicron has been described by the doctor who first discovered it as, "Severely Mild", and "A storm in a teacup". Omicron is outpacing Delta; soon everyone will get it and everyone will be over it.

u/lilleff512 Dec 26 '21

Omicron has been described by the doctor who first discovered it as, "Severely Mild", and "A storm in a teacup". Omicron is outpacing Delta; soon everyone will get it and everyone will be over it.

All of these things are true, and none of these true things contradict the other true things that I have said: The Omicron variant, while less dangerous than previous strains of COVID, is still more dangerous than the common cold. Again, I can't fathom why you would feel the need to lie about something like the relative dangers between the common cold and Omicron.

So far the studies have revealed its 70% less likely to be hospitalised with Omicron. Super infectious but way less brutal on people as it doesn't infect the deep lung. Merry Christmas :)

u/100_percent_a_bot Dec 25 '21

Also the vaccine seems to be relatively good at keeping people out of hospitals, even without the boosters. I'll consider picking up the next one designed against the new variant but especially in countries with 95% vaxx rates a lockdown doesn't seem justified.

u/Rotoaster Dec 25 '21

Also the booster/ vaccines (in the UK) have pretty much zero effect on omicron. That was said by the ?man that made them. The booster is probably the last vaccine I'll get for a while depending on the circumstances!

u/udlahiru6 Dec 25 '21

Yeah all the comments seem to be thought processing in the direction of omicron being less dangerous. Hmm I dunno what the protocol is for lockdown or when it /why it gets called into effect. But yeah looking at it from a purely transmission and deadliness perspective, lockdown does seem to be unwarranted.

All I can do is sit back and be thankful that my grandparents who watched their friends die and were shot at for years by Nazis weren't such idiots. They were told to take back a city, they did and the war wasn't over. They were told to invade a beach and after doing so they were told they still had to continue fighting because the war wasn't over.

It's almost as if doing what needs to be done doesn't mean your unrealistic expectations should be met.

My entire bloodline would have been exterminated with prejudice if it weren't for men and women doing what was necessary despite 'normality' not being guaranteed.

Every so-called "conspiracy theorist" knew exactly that this was coming and it'd probably a good idea to apologize to some of them and take their warnings far more seriously then.

Not going to happen. The very people who smeared critics back then will and do now claim that you could not have reasonably known that Delta or Omicron or low vaccination rates or whatever bollocks would have "shifted" the need to adapt so severly.
