This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

smallpox picture
Another lesson to learn from that is just like small pox, those vaccinated for the Wuhan flu can also spread the Wuhan flu.

  Which is why you vaccinate to save you, and then wear a bit of porous cloth on your face to save others.  Then you are a truly good and wonderful person who saves other people every single day.

Then let's go to "Neither Wendell nor Eskew had any underlying health conditions, Eskew said." Obviously neither Eskew or the writer recognized that she was obese and/or that obesity is an underlying health condition that exacerbates covid. 
I saw on twitter a picture of a 16-year old girl on a respirator that her mom tweeted and said that she had no preexisting conditions.
However what I saw was an obese girl that had to be somewhere in the range of 250 to 300 pounds.

The smallpox vaccination actually works.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

The solution: More freebies, less mandates.
What’s paying $10 on a cup of coffee gonna do? We can always move to America… oh wait…

On a serious note though, I don’t think vaccines fuck all, but what worked in the beginning doesn’t look like it’s working as good against the delta, lambda, Mu variants.
The solution for now is wait and see, imo.

Meanwhile, the fed suddenly decides to cut back on shipments of monoclonal antibody treatments to states that don't toe the line.

They're not vaccines, they don't provide immunity.

I feel they’re more like a steroid treatment than a vaccine. The data suggests only the unvaccinated are getting deadly sick. If they don’t stop you from catching covid, at least they’ll boost your defenses.

Ah yes, the left highlighting the suffering of children to make an asinine point. Because after all we think a doctor might sniff a broken bone during surgery and break his own bone.

I'll tell you what. When I get a normal vaccine, one where they inoculate with a little bit of the virus so I can develop immunity, I will do that. I am not getting gene therapy. Also, smallpox killed children. It also disfigured the survivors. Coronavirus does not.

I couldn't give a fuck what you "feel" about them. And I just showed you actual data from an actual hospital - vaccinated people are dying. It's making sod all difference.

Nope, doesn't stop you catching it or spreading it, little evidence it does anything else either.

So because ONE hospital provided data, you believe that accounts for the rest of the country or world. Just say you’re scared of the needle.

  Dunno if anyone is scared of it.  I do know I got all the shots I wanted in the military.   I never get the flu vaccine, I see no reason to get this vaccine.  Especially for what appears to be a very fast mutating virus.  One thing I feel gets left out when they talk about how people with more serious cases in the hospital are unvaccinated, it seems the only metric they ever mention are vaxxed or un vaxxed.  never mentioning if there is anything else we may need to know about the unvaxxed people's health conditions.   I can believe the vax will help with an infection.  I also know anything you have to present to me, then bribe me with, and then mandate to me with threats...all while I am unable to sue anyone should injury illness befall me from said vax... I think I will pass for now.

The vaccine acts like armor. It reduces the chances of a blow landing soundly and softens some of the blows, but no armor provides total immunity from injury.
