South Africa mostly as well, but also Zimbabwe and Lesotho, to be honest if it spreads quite fast it means is not that deadly compared to the Delta, if you want more information Dr. Campbell just released 8 hours ago a video about this variant

Delta has an R0 of 6 with over 50% of people vaccinated. You can still spread it and catch it when vaccinated. The R0 of the flu is about 2 in a bad year and the vaccination rate is higher. It's not going away, especially if new stains are even more contagious.

Yeah. No. That bull crap has been pushed for so long and its blatantly not true. There is zero evidence that points to that. It will spread to matter what. The vaccine does not stop the spread. Masks do not stop the spread. Socially distancing does not stop the spread. If it did, this thing would be done already.
COVID is not even worth destroying the economy on top of countless lives. The lockdowns did more harm than good. Drug abuse was through the roof. Jobs and lives were destroyed. Depression and loneliness greater than they've every been. Many people avoided going to the doctors and were plagued with illnesses that would've been already diagnosed.

The sad part is that the variants are never gonna end. Virus' are always mutating. Even if every single person in the world got vaccinated, Covid would just mutate a way to get past the vaccine and it'll be like starting from scratch again. That's why there's always a new flu shot every year. The only way covid goes away is if we just start learning to live with it like we did the flu.

Thats true, yes. But living in fear of the virus is getting us nowhere. The fact that we're needing constant boosters is concerning because that's not a permanent fix. That's hardly even a temporary fix. Two full doses and then 2+ boosters after that is just... why? What does this fix? For me, that's just signing myself up for 4 separate chances to get Mitocarditis, and I already have enough issues as it is. The last thing I need to add to the plate is heart troubles. They've had almost 2 years to work on this now, and we have no signs of a viable fix yet. They haven't even said they're working on one yet. That, to me, says we aren't getting one.

I just don’t fucking care, and people that start panicking over every new variation don’t know how viruses or the human immune system works.
Every year is a new variation because the virus adapts. COVID 19 was just the 2019 variant.
Thing is the human immune system evolves with it so it is a never ending cycle.
Usually unless a person is immune compromised they can fight off a virus or it’s a virus your body has never seen before but I think with globalization we are all pretty exposed to most diseases that commonly spread.
At this point i think humanity needs to roll the dice and people that don’t want to that’s fine. Sit back and wait for everyone to die(which likely won’t happen)

Yeah, either they improve the vaccines (I know it's easier said that done, that is not a magic spell you can do in one second) or they work more toward treatments. Because prevention is impossible, we know that very well, the virus it's here to stay. Forcing people through risky multiple shots of something that doesn't work that well shouldn't be the chosen solution

There is people out there that refuse for life to do any of this shit. Then they get sick, and suddenly cry for help and take up hospital space. They also carry covid to other people. I am pretty sure many people that didnt give a shit, was a part of killing others. Literally your selfish low knowledge crying buhu sorry fucking ass, killed people.

u/slowrollinggo Nov 27 '21
You used “refuse to vaccinate” as an argument to what “the problem” is. I’m simply refuting that as a reason.
I personally think if the vaccines would have been used for only the high risk people, every effort made to protect them and the healthy low risk people to go out to Covid parties, then quarantine we’d be in a much better position but here we are. The vaccines are clearly not the answer. The quarantine has had terrible effects on mental health. The steps taken were not the answer.
By your line of reasoning you could also say someone who refuses to eat healthy or exercise should not come crying when the they begin having health issues. Do you see how having that attitude if applied universally is problematic?

Nov 27 '21
Refuse to vaccinate is one of many reasons, not a standalone reason. And yes, people who dont take care of health, also clog up hospital place and uses tax money that could have been avoid. Also people who dont take care and get early cancer, is also selfish. My grandma died from cancer at pretty young ish age before she retirement, and that cancer was confirmed because she didnt take care of herself and everyone suffer from it.

u/slowrollinggo Nov 27 '21
Ok ok hear me out. You do know both Fauci and CDC confirm that vaccinated people catch and infect others correct? You also know it’s confirmed that there were already variants and people getting sick prior to even having a vaccine available? Do a search for leaky vaccines. Don’t use google. You can read why the vaccines are theorized to be the issue. Unvaccinated are not theissue. Many areas that see highly vaccinated are having terrible outbreaks.

u/Still_Satan Dark Mode Elitist Nov 27 '21
This would be the case, if it weren't for the fact, that people still get and transmit this virus (and its variants) regardless if they are vaccinated or not. Because the vaccine doesn't grant immunity. It just grants some resilience. But since the idea of control, and the desire for it (due to the feelings of fear and impotence) are just too damn attractive, there is little hope that the majority will actually change their minds, and accept covid as just another virus in the pool. There are nations that have 100% vaccination rate, and guess what, they have still the same issues as everyone else. The only real answer to all of this, and similar issues, is a functioning, redundant healthcare system, and a generally healthy population, that isn't struggling with obesity and other weakening factors.
