Here's a fun Covid-19 game to play with people:

It starts with someone bragging about how they got their jab and now they feel safe.

Now comes the fun part. Ask them why they feel safe. After four or five iterations you realize they have no fucking clue.

"It stops..." "No, it does not stop..."
"But it prevents..." "No it does not prevent..."
"But, but it lessens..." "No it does not lessen..."

Although I do like the crazed gallows humor of the people who admit they got the jab and then laugh like someone who just put their live savings into ShitFartCoin.

Gay, just start talking about how you were out on the highway and someone came out an on-ramp the wrong way and smoked the car next to you, killing everyone inside. At any given time, someone could cross the center line on any road and run head on into you at a combined speed of almost 100mph, killing everyone inside. Cars are not always readily visible from the cabs of larger trucks, so a truck making a turn or changing lanes could smoke you and kill everyone inside. People texting on their cell phones could run a red light and killing everyone inside.
KILLING
EVERYONE
YOU WILL DIE

Anyone catch this livestream today about ivermectin? Watch it before it goes down.

Seems like humanity could effectively end the pandemic with this medication. Really fucks up plans for vaccine passports though! Guess which side your representatives will take on it.

Would rather somebody would just archive it, so that's what I'm doing.

[Edit: 3rd time better be the charm.]

Second family member who is fully vaccinated (Moderna) just tested positive for covid. She's almost 80 (and pretty healthy for her age), so if she stays out of hospital then maybe the vaccine provided some protection -- but it definitely won't stop you from getting it. No fever, but she has chills and a cough. She was told she didn't have the bad kind (whatever that means -- I assume no India or Vietnam variant). Wasn't prescribed any meds -- just take tylenol as needed. She was also told that she could still take her daily walk in the neighborhood if she felt up to it, she would just need to wear a mask. That advice seemed a little odd. Would expect that they would tell her to avoid walking around the neighborhood. 🤷‍♀️

The latest bullshit from the county I live in, not that it matters.

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE

June 1, 2021, 11:50 a.m.

COUNTY MOVES TO YELLOW TIER WITH END OF RESTRICTIONS JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY

California public health officials said this morning Monterey County's rate of new coronavirus cases had declined to just 1.0 per day per 100,000 residents, moving the county into the state's Yellow Tier, effective tomorrow. (Whoop-de-fucking do. - JS)

In the Yellow Tier, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, indoor businesses will be able to expand capacity and bars that do not serve food can reopen indoors.

The changes come just two weeks from the end of almost all social distancing and restrictions on businesses and gatherings, which is scheduled for June 15, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom and state health director Dr. Mark Ghaly. (Maybe. STILL not going to keep Newsom from being recalled. Wore my "Recall Gavin Newsom" sweatshirt and matching mask today. - JS)

Try to find and archive articles posted as screenshots. It's very easy to fake those.

Article 1 (archive) Article 2 (archive)

The MIT research they talked about was posted some pages back. The first article also has a bit more to say about the research:
The authors seem to think the ultimate problem is skeptics deftly using data to mislead social media users.
At no point, they were told, was it acceptable to doubt the mainstream understanding of the pandemic, even though that understanding evolved almost weekly over the course of 2020. The study authors clearly didn't grasp this important point [...] They compared anti-masking advocates to critics of evolution, arguing that "their simultaneous appropriation of scientific rhetoric and rejection of scientific authority also reflects longstanding strategies of Christian fundamentalists [...]".
[...]
Summed up, this is an interesting study that contains some helpful insights. But it won't have its intended effect because the authors refused to follow their analysis to its logical conclusion: Americans were misled by their leaders. To win back their trust, we need to treat them as fellow citizens to be convinced, not subjects in need of prodding.
