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.

I have a feeling that Felix is just fucking with people. His views are too intentionally troll-ish for me.

Anyway, I spoke to my dentist, and she confirmed to me that yes storebought masks don't prevent the molecular level covid particles from transmitting through the air through them. And that Covid is transmissible through eyeballs.

Even assuming 100% vaccination-THIS WILL NOT BE A SLAM DUNK SOLUTION. Covid is something we will have to just get used to and treat as if it was the flue eventually. In the long term - vacc or no vacc we will all be sick with it.

The idea that 'If only everybody vacced and isolated this thing would have died off!' is a placebo to make people feel secure about a disease thats here to stay and yes can make some people VERY sick sometimes.

Just because its survivable, doesn't make it not-dangerous. But life as a whole is dangerous, and we have not installed guard rials at every crosswalk.

  The one issue with saying we can provide areas for high risk people... Well what happens when it is determined that anyone who does not get the vax is high risk?  I think slippery slopes are...slippery.

It's not going to work! In theory, banning the unvaxxed from public venues would funnel everyone down that one path. Doubt this is going to work though. Would be much easier to put the vaxx on mosquitoes and let nature run its course.

Thus articulating one of my nightmares about this mRNA technology.  Really easy to get rid of "undesirables" this way.
Perhap you should be less of a shitty human being then so as to not be seen as undesirable?

Well, there are far worst things than that scenario which are bound to unfold with a degree of certainty. If this pandemic keeps raging for another five years, even big corp won't keep up. The scarcity of jobs will be far too great to keep society moving. Third world might few like a luxury in the next 10 years.
Right, because a virus with a 99.97% survival rate for folks under 60 will create a mass shortage of employees.  The innumeracy amongst the Branch Covidians is staggering...
Some survivors are having severe enough lingering effects to potentially qualify for various Ievels of disability,  so it's not just about deaths.

You know we just talk about mercy in theory, we dont actually practice it.

A tiny minority; most people don't even know they've had it, their symptoms are so mild, and they have no lingering effects at all. A handful outliers with poor physiology don't merit any of this charade.

What about vaccine injuries, which seem to be worse in people who've recovered from previous covid infections?

Nice attempt at whataboutism. Let's just go back to suggesting that perhaps you too should try to be a less shitty person.

I do. It's a pity you can't understand that.

I, myself, can't wait to see (probably within 7 years or so) when the Dems begin to state that all those masks thrown away over years of use has destroyed much of the oceans and are now toxic in the landfills! And you can't burn them because... COVID WILL BE IN THE AIR!!!

THE ENVIRONMENT WAS DESTROYED BY THE PRO-MASKERS!!! AND ...
IT'S ALL TRUMP'S FAULT!
IT'S ALL MAGA'S FAULT!
TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT, WE MUST NOW: KILL! KILL!! KILL!!!!

(on the otherhand, why wait - just burn down some more black-owned businesses and show the dems how you REALLY care!)

Putting your scaremongering bullshit into context. You see the worst affected people, you don't see the majority who never even need any kind of medical assistance and just get over it by themselves.
