27 vaccinated people test positive for COVID on Carnival ship

Are they saying the unvaccinated gave it to them? 27 is alot of ppl.

Why would anyone care? They’re all fine, or have the sniffles and they all showed up for work. That they’re spreading it to unvaccinated on a cruise ship who will get sick and occasionally die is a completely positive outcome.

In a country where a large amount of people refuse to get vaccinated, we should be cheering rising case numbers with glee as long as the vaccine numbers hold. Better for everyone to get it now. Anyone unvaccinated now surely didn’t give a fuck about elderly and vulnerable last year before there was a virtual cure of serious illness. We should be hoping for a million new cases a day. Sure, an occasional vaccinated normal person will die, but the other 99 are assholes who don’t give one fuck about you or your family. Most survive and now don’t need vaccinated.

that's a hot take on the 65% of blacks that are unvaccinated, quite the racist piece of shit buddy

[dwai]

Ok. From now on just assume when i say no one, i mean no one credible.

I have zero doubt there are dumbasses saying stupid shit all the time. I have even less doubt that news organizations that focus on entertainment will find aforementioned dumbasses and give them a voice no one needs to hear. Maybe i shouldn't assume that most non mouth breathers have at this point learned how to weed out worthless information.

And yea all the global school closures were just about your precious teachers unions. It's not like it's a standard protocol with infectious diseases or anything. That would be crazy.

The "dumbasses saying stupid shit" in this case are the entire mainstream media and most of the US left.

That's what you seem to be missing (or intentionally ignoring).

The "Delta is killing kids and young people" panic is aimed at scaring everyone into being pro-lockdown and pro-mask-mandate, not communicating information regarding these groups getting others sick.

And this is where I’m at.

Biden should have came out 2 months ago and picked a date and said you have until X date to get vaccinated. On day X + 1 it’s the purge.

Fuck your feelings - let’s get on with it.

And at the point of X +30 or so best thing from a Darwinian standpoint would be a huge spike. Then all that would be left are vaccinated and the many people who had it and survived.

He’s such an old school politician and so reliant on getting 95% of the black vote that I think he’s making a tactical error by not doing this.

You’d lose some black voters, but you’d pick up more from the middle. And most you lose would sit out, not go the other way.

There is no desire for a shutdown from either side. I don’t care about the unvaccinated and they don’t think it’s a problem and certainly don’t want a shutdown or to take any precaution. Let nature play out.

I can’t see a reason for shutting anything down short of it actually hitting small children, not on CNN, but in the real world. If that happened before parents had a chance to vaccinate their really young ones, that’s the only spot I can agree with it.

I’m hoping to see larger numbers every day when I look at cases. It’s not about wanting anybody dead, albeit almost all will be assholes worth shedding zero tears over, but I have always assumed we will all get this at some point. Better this version where the vaccine has so far held. We may get it again in waves. No one knows. In every scenario, more people with immunity, partial immunity, etc will always be a benefit.

i believe theres a lot of talk about simply prioritizing medical resources to vaccinated people, which seems very sane and winnish.

vaguely related; australia is now implementing grid lockdowns. i proposed the same about a hundred pages ago but proposed that we start with the mason dixon line.

was half joking at the time but imagine the lives we could have saved.

I must have posted it in this thread before. You can’t “make” someone get vaccinated. I stand by that. You probably can’t prioritize the vaccinated that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen if you run a hospital……


What you can do? Premiums for health insurance are up 200% next year and if you vaccinated you get a 66% discount. That will drive some decision making.

between 'state of emergency' and 'executive order' theres a lot of stick waiting to be swung. 100% think the premiums idea is a great solution btw. 'oh youre freshly uninsured because you refused to get vaxed? im so sorry but this hospital and its ventilators and its oxygen are for insurance holders'. yeah that feels about right.

also when the manslaughter charges and civil suits start landing on the people in the false vax card business, thats going to drive home a few points.

God you are a fucking idiot

we need to get vaccinated because it doesn't work, we also need vaxpass cause it also doesn't work! but no ID to vote, obviously!

Kids are required to take all sorts of vaccines to attend school. Why can’t other places require vaccinations for adults? Such as employers requiring it.

Enormous enormous difference between employers requiring as a term of employment or a cruise ship operator asking as terms of passage….. and Uncle Sam demanding you take it.

Governments can’t dictate this, at least ours Cant.

We can’t trust our government to fill in potholes. I don’t want them having the power to dictate what goes in our bodies. I can tell my employer to fuck off of if I so choose.

States do, but not all states. Many have religious exemptions which is why you see these outbreaks of long eradicated viruses break out. Even in what you think of as blue states like PA.

I mean I’d think they CAN do it, but it would be horrible politics. They might have to do something like prove/fake something that it was created in a Chinese lab, and then declare it an act of war. Lots of things go out the window during war. You can commandeer business to produce shit for you and get away with a lot. More theoretical though, as it’s such horrible politics that it would need to be killing 50% rather than 1%.

My point is Daly said they can't dictate you take it and I'm saying they already do for kids all across the country for a wide variety of vaccines why would the covid vaccine be any different? I'm not for this btw, but I think it's false to say governments (probably at the state or local level) can't require it.

I think he meant federal gov’t. Talk was about executive orders and Biden. States can certainly decide shit like vaccinations and already do. It wouldn’t be unpopular to require it in your state. It would make you more popular. The opposite other places.

But nationally, it would be a political loser unless it was way worse than its ever been. I assume they could if they truly wanted to, but they’d pay a heavy price.

I'm not sure it matters who's telling you that it's required, the point is that you're being made to take it.

My wife's work, I believe by 8/31 (could be a little off), will require that all employees are vaccinated or be required to take at least 2 covid tests weekly. I can see alot of employers doing things similar.

Businesses will adjust too. Maybe airlines will offer some discounted flights for vaccinated people only. Things of that nature.

governments dictate vaccines are necessary for travel every single day tho. seems a bit arbitrary to say ok those rules only matter at the physical borders of the nation, but not states, offices, homes, restaurants, etc.
