Has anyone of you got shit on for just expressing a wish to be able to see friends and family again?

Not personally but I suspect that's a combination of reduced social circle this year and people knowing what sort of reaction they'd get if they did. I've witnessed plenty of that exact self-righteous tone directed at others though. You're not alone. All I can suggest is telling anyone who tries it to go stuff a pineapple up their arse.
 
Is there anything California politicians won't do to virtue signal? Fauci has no link to Lafayette that I can find.

Hello Lafayette:

On Tuesday, December 22, I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for a virtual one-on-one fireside chat to briefly discuss the state of the current virus situation and how well we, Lafayette as a community, have been doing.

I congratulated him as just a few hours before our chat, Dr. Fauci himself received his first vaccination shot!

He praised Lafayette and encouraged us to continue our measures, and to become vaccinated as soon as it becomes available here. He provided valuable advice on how we can prevent transmission and was genuinely proud of our community for taking COVID-19 so seriously.

Dr. Fauci turns 80 on December 24. As a surprise, I sprang on him the idea that we, as a city, would proclaim December 24, 2020, as Dr. Anthony Fauci Day in Lafayette. He excitedly accepted!

Just another example of Love Lafayette!

Happy holidays, happy New Year and please be safe.

Really getting sick of this faggot. Talking about how he personally gave Santa Claus the vaccine and now this. Obnoxious as fuck.

You wouldn't believe the neuroses that I've seen displayed about this stuff. Plans being canceled and angry passive aggressive recriminations because it came out that one person rode in a car with someone else a week earlier. The formation of 10-day quarantine "safety bubbles" just to visit nephews and nieces. I just took a swab test to give family members "peace of mind" in order to have Christmas Eve dinner with them. For the most part I keep my disdain for these rituals to myself and go along with it because, well, I love my family and I'd rather see them than sperg the fuck out on principle. I live in a pretty liberal area and I wonder if it's different in more conservative communities.

No. My family is small and spread out anyway. And I take no shit, period. 🖕 I seriously don't give flying fuck one. To be honest, the relatively small number of people I talk to also agree this shit needs to stop.

As an aside, there had been a "HOPE" sign near one of the local bus stops since maybe April. Last week it was taken down. Either the person who made and put up the sign has lost hope or the sign was getting faded, take your pick. I don't give a fuck either way.

While we're at it, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Could things be better? Yup. Could things be worse? Yup. Will we get through it? Yup.

One of my Christmas wishes - that this time next year, this thread has disappeared beneath the waves. 👍


@Shqueefa - my Christmas "salutation" for Fauci, Newsom, Cuomo, and EVERY motherfucker who has used this "pandemic" to fuck over our people, worldwide: 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕

I've found that "kill yourself faggot/bitch" is extremely effective against older people. It won't work on GenX or newer, but for old people it knocks the wind out of them. The last time I used it, the woman looked like she caught the vapors and needed a fainting couch.

I'm on board with your approach, Joseph. I went out and got a haircut, then walked across the parking lot to what used to be my usual bar last week. It was nice to see people again, and when I got in the bar the mask came off and life felt "normal" again for a little while. I wish everyone the best this Christmas, enjoy good food and family if you can, and hell yeah we'll pull through this somehow. In the meantime we have this little corner of the internet to commiserate and complain <3

I just do it, and nobody has made a big stink about it.
i followed this thread when it was about facts, news, analysis. now it's just an anti-vaxxer blogpost
I am a true dyed in the wool, militant, autistic anti-vaxxer because I want to take a vaccine that has been subject to the same stringent safety standards as all of the other vaccines I have taken, yes that's it.

Brownnose some TV guy. This is science. I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE
 
Does this logic mean anyone who said "vaccines are safe as long as they have passed all of our current testing standards" in 2019 is now an anti-vaxxer?
yes. this is going to be the next big thing media will push to shame people into getting it. Don't wanna be like those ultra right religious anti vaxx karens, right?

The vaccine is a legitimate concern. The traditional vaccine of inoculation be it through a weakened version or a similar disease has been tested, tried, and improved through over 200 years. The target of the first vaccine, smallpox, took decades to get rid of on a world scale, and vaccines for other diseases go through months of testing before being released.

Instead, it's an entirely new type of vaccine that was only approved for human use a few months ago, the vaccine (with an efficacy that no one really knows about) is being pushed out on an unprecedented scale, yet we're being told to just shut up and "trust the experts", with the same sort of dogma reserved for cults and particularly intolerant strains of Christianity.

The social dimensions of this are really interesting to see, in sort of a horrifying sense. The corporations that stand to profit from the vaccines are overjoyed about all the shaming of skeptics and signaling that one is onboard with "The Science." And really, I suspect they use sophisticated psychological manipulation techniques to create this sort of personality on a mass scale, but that's probably too tinfoily for this thread.

I'll say this to the people who look down their noses at the vaccine-questioners: Pfizer is not your fucking friend and just wants to make money. They're a soulless megacorporation with a very long history of malfeasance that only cares about profits, not your health. You shouldn't trust them so blindly or play into their hands by shitting on people less credulous than you.

And they have form for this, too. The swine flu "pandemic" of 2009 was the practise run. People didn't care and the government were ignored. They forced staff in NHS hospitals to have the vaccine and a good number were left with narcolepsy.

They tried the exact same shit 11 years ago only this time they had the help of the Chinese government flat out lying about it all.

Most vaccines are rigorously tested over the course of a decade to document any potential long term health effects that may arise and what type of person they afflict so forgive us for being concerned that this thing is being pushed out at less than a tenth of that time frame for the sake of injecting "hope" into people.

Being concerned about the potential side effects of a vaccine is not anti-vaxxer rhetoric, it's common fucking sense.

Looking upon Pfizer (or any other corporation) with any sort of "friendship" is basically an offshoot of the "consoom" mindset; I personally haven't cared about Pfizer since they sold off Listerine.

The whole thing about the COVID/"SCIENCE!" cult is disgusting, my brother had accused me of "conspiracy theory shit" when I dared to suggest that the lockdowns have done far more damage to society and everyday people as a whole over the "muh 300k" that died from complications. When I was a kid, "conspiracy theories" were things like the moon landing being an elaborate hoax or WTC7 brought down by controlled explosives, and they were laughed at, not desperately tried to be shut down and stick to the narrative.
 
Saw this comment and it gave me a chuckle:

I sure am glad we're trusting The Science... of gut feelings.

How Much Herd Immunity Is Enough?​

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/24/health/herd-immunity-covid-coronavirus.html (https://archive.vn/hKx1a)
Excerpt:
“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” Dr. Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.

“We need to have some humility here,” he added. “We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.”

Doing so might be discouraging to Americans, he said, because he is not sure there will be enough voluntary acceptance of vaccines to reach that goal. Although sentiments about vaccines in polls have bounced up and down this year, several current ones suggest that about 20 percent of Americans say they are unwilling to accept any vaccine.
You're a fucking idiot if you listen to anything they're saying after they blatantly admit that they're lying to you and throwing out guesses.
