Banter The Adelaide Board Politics/COVID Thread Part 2 (WARNING NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED)

[OneGreatClub]

You think that dropping the restrictions intended to prevent formite transmission has caused infection in children?

The disease is airborne, we all know that. School and school activities and no doubt even sports would have lead to the spread.
It went through my nephews footy team like crazy after one person turned up infected to a game.

I think the anger of people is misdirected.
I'm guess they can’t be angry at a virus, which is the real cause of all of this, so they take it out on everyone else.

It is incredible that these idiots in this thread have a brain that stops after one thought. They are completely unable to continue a thought to a logical conclusion.

It is so simple to understand. It boggles the mind.

Amazing coming from you — for two years you clods couldn’t see the logical conclusion of Covid Zero.

 

[Samcro24]

How many in here supported no jab no job?

What was the point of that considering it spreads regardless of your vaccination status? No one seems to care anymore, but I bet a lot of you were frothing for it, championing vaccine passports etc.

 

[Slippery Pete]

The disease is airborne, we all know that.

The chief public health officer did not know that.

 

[OneGreatClub]

The experts say it’s fine.

It depends on which experts. The AMA and hundreds of experts say it is not fine and are extremely concerned about the outcomes for long covid going forward. It suits people to believe it is fine though because the alternative is too uncomfortable.
Good luck.

 

[Slippery Pete]

How many in here supported no jab no job?

Every. Single. One.

 

[Samcro24]

Every. Single. One.

Not surprised.

Again, how do you know what I did for two years?

You're clutching Slippery. You have resorted to dumb generalisations, and refuse to accept reason. You are flapping.

 

[OneGreatClub]

You haven’t answered my question.
Were you against those freedumb anti vax anti mask anti-mandate rallies?
Simple question.

Can only go by post history Mad Flog. That’s all we got.

As I said. Show me otherwise. I’ll be gone for a month.

Another post that refuses to accept that circumstances changed rapidly over the period of 2 years. The way that it is now is not the way that is always was. Can you even accept that?

Whether you agreed with the measure is one thing, but the fact is that vaccination DID reduce the spread for earlier mutations of the virus. It appears that this is not the case for Omicron. Hence measures have now been adjusted.

 

[Maddogmetro]

Every. Single. One.

HAHAHAHAHA

Making things up again Slippery.

That doesn’t explain those pictures I posted from 2020 though does it….

 

[Coopers]

Not happy with the stock market spiraling downwards today. We are really in the shadow of what happens in the USA. My super wont look good with this.

Don't worry about it. It's part of the natural cycle where markets crash so the wealthy can buy up assets on the cheap before the recovery.

Keep working hard and it will trickle down.

Nice attempt at deflecting from the point Slippery.

1. Use juvenile name-calling again.
2. Tell me to show you something that I never said existed.
3. Talk about my post history, without actually reading it.
4. Ignore my previous post where I explain all of this in SiMpLe TeRmS for an idiot like you.

Your lack of substance is so transparent. You won't even engage on the issues being discussed.

 

[Maddogmetro]

WTF are you talking about. You flip and flop between topics constantly in an attempt to muddle things. I wasn't even replying to you.

 

[Slippery Pete]

WTF are you talking about.

This.

You said the situation changed from 2020.

So how do you justify this from the “experts“ in 2020?

Hard to top this one!

Must. Trust. The Experts.

Public health experts share open letter defending anti-racism protests during the pandemic

“White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19.”

www.upworthy.com

as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission.

This.

So how do you justify this from the “experts“ in 2020?

Are you going to post every single event, or incident, or decision, that occurred in the last two years and ask my opinion? What is your point? Do you still think, despite me telling you over and over it is not the case, that I supported every single decision that was made in the world about Covid measures?

I was responding to a post that was talking about vaccine mandates. Keep up.

It’s the whole argument in a nutshell isn’t it?

There’s covid. Make up a daft rule to combat it. Later, daft rule is proven to be daft.

Defend it anyway because “it was right at the time”. Even if it wasn’t.

So, you suggest they should have done nothing, until the virus had been in the community for long enough for the scientists to study it comprehensively?

Surely even an anti-vaxxer like yourself isn't dumb enough to see the logic fail there?

What happened in 2020 was a public health emergency, with a little understood virus that was killing thousands of people overseas. Govts all around the country took steps to ensure the safety of the Australian public, introducing short-term restrictions until the danger had passed. Once the virus was better understood and/or the danger had passed (due largely to vaccination reducing the likelihood of serious illness and/or death), the restrictions were eased.

Why do you presume me to be an anti vaxxer?

Nah, they were eased at other times, during the height of the “public health emergency.”

Like this time.

You seem to be posting in line with the other freedumb anti-vaxxers.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's most likely to be a duck.

Or like when the borders were opened in time for the test.

Wait so you weren't implying that left wing alternate viewpoints to Tucker weren't Fake news?

"A large % of viewers are democrat's sick of the fake news alternatives"

So what then are. you defining as fake news alternatives?

Also out of interest, I'm keen to know whether you consider Tucker Carlson to be an example of fair and accurate news reporting?

CNN,CNBC are fake news. Any news stations that sensor news or don't put it to air. I do like CNN's overseas news. That's what made the station famous at the time. They strayed from balanced reporting on domestic news but their on the ground reports overseas are amazing same as BBC. That's why I think a lot of Democrats and Independents.
Tucker is my equal favourite on Fox. I don't agree with him sometime with his opinion but not often. I like Jesse Watters about as much. I enjoy BBC World news and Sky News. I even look at Al Jazeera for other perspectives.
