Dude, I love the CDC still trying to pretend like people give a fuck. I would say for 80-90% of the population, COVID is straight up over now. It's just a matter of wearing masks when we legally have to, and even that is trailing off because people aren't paid enough to enforce that shit.

I’d agree with the exception of Canada. Things are straight up fucked especially Ontario. Nothing is normal and the plebs eat it up like candy flavoured dog shit.

Especially the New York variant if the preliminary reports are true that its more resistant to the vaccines.

I vote we call the nasty variant the 'Fauci' strain

There is a large pool of politicians and actors, that can be appropriately honoured like this.

This is somewhat personal but I’m hoping there’s other people who understand where I’m coming from

I do feel a bit hurt inside thinking that my friends (very few that I even have) or my family might eventually shun me because I haven’t had a vaccine. To be honest I am pro vaccine, I have small kids and they have all the vaccines that are recommended. It hurts me a little bit thinking that people will eventually lump me in with “anti vaxxers” because I’m not comfortable yet getting this vaccine. I’m also not thrilled about the idea of catching covid, so I have been cautious for quite a while, my body sucks. I just want people to see my point of view and concern about my health rather than pressuring me to just get over it and go get the shot. It’s hard on top of a really shitty year with anxiety and ocd and being home with my kids who were so bored and sad while everything was closed. And even social media comments are like oh just let people die then if they don’t want the vaccine! Don’t let them out in public blah blah.

TLDR, I’m a big softy and don’t have many people around who will listen or try to understand

Alright, I bit the bullet and took the Pfizer shot cause I'm planning to travel this year and apparently most countries don't recognize sinovac as a proper vaccine (rightly so tbh, apparently that shit is a coin flip on efficacy so it's practically a placebo). I just felt a bit weak afterwards but a day or two after I was basically fine, I've heard the second shot is the one that fucks you up if you've never caught covid before.

Next shot is in a month, so I'll keep you guys posted if my balls fall off or something I guess. At least when I read the release form it said my government is gonna pay for any medical treatment and comp me for my suffering if I get hit with an extreme reaction.

This is 100% correct in normal circumstances, however we need to factor hundreds of millions being injected with non sterilizing vaccines that allow transmission and replication but may lessen the severity of symptoms.

This is maybe the hundredth time I've mentioned this on here but it genuinely scares the crap out of me. We've never attempted mass vaccinations against a respiratory virus with non sterilizing vaccines The risk is that more deadly variants will circulate among the vaccinated. Now if one of those variants finds a work around against the S-protein antibodies we're off to the races.

Just like the overuse of antibiotics against bacteria. If we end up with both superviruses and immune bacteria we are screwed for a while.

News from Malaysia:

We're considering mixing vaccines to boost efficiency. (archive)
Plans on introducing vaccine passports for travel. (archive)
We're letting students get the jab to have the privilege of education. archive
100,000 pregnant women were given vaccine appointments, which I'm sure won't have any serious consequences in the future. archive

No commentary, I'm sick and tired of this farce.

One of my coworkers tested positive during the 2-weeks-now-4-weeks-lockdown, and dude went on about it like he was going to fucking die (despite him being the healthiest motherfucker I've seen).

When a family member *I'm living with found out that I had close contact, dipshit chimped out, going "what if I went out and suddenly died???"
You know, like a fucking faggot thinking death won't come for him regardless.

This country is going to hell in a handbasket, and I can thank daddy government for that.

There's less panic because most people don't care and are fed up with this shit. TPTB are probably ass mad that people aren't panicking, and will use this "Delta strain" bullshit to bully the proles even more than they have for the past 2 years.

It's the big thing in Germany, though.
Constant medial panic over rising cases of Delta variant (note: rising fraction of Delta cases, not a rise in total number of positive tests), how much more deadly it is for children, and so on. And since the Delta variant has the same symptoms as basic sniffles, it's the perfect thing for parents to be scared about when their kid after months of isolation eats dirt again and gets a bit sniffly.
They are already planning for closing down schools in autumn again, and everything else as well. Since there'll be a significant amount of adults vaccinated by then, they have to focus on the children to bring the fear. Adults might accept a booster shot, but tell them now that the vaccinations are pointless and they'll be pissed. It'd break the last shreds of trust in the government. So it's children, because they can't be vaccinated yet, to keep the fear alive until autumn when the usual seasonal rise comes among adults as well.

I doubt we'll ever go back to real normal again, at least not here in Germany. Some things will probably be gone for good, or at least for several years to come. Like greeting your friends with a friendly hug.

Even earlier, I guess.

My theory is that by removing the origin countries' names, the fear-factor of the variant becomes decoupled from the country, and sudden and unexpected turns for the better like in India don't matter anymore. People here were supremely scared of the "India variant" a while ago and their hearts were bleeding for the poor little streetshitters. By the time it turned out that India wasn't going to be depopulated by their special Coof strand, it was renamed "Delta variant" and now people are scared of that currently depopulating England. People are not really looking at India anymore because falling numbers aren't scary enough.

I think there's something to this. Wearing masks decreases your exposure to allergens, but when you stop wearing masks, it's all going to bite you in the ass because your body has no idea how to react. I've been hearing complaints about allergies from people I know are good obedient mask people. Sucks to be them, but they brought it on themselves by obeying the government's foolish laws. I don't believe in mask bullshit and pretty much 100% avoided it, and my allergies have been perfectly normal this year.

"Flu could be worse than Covid this year" "Extra flu jabs ordered for flu season"

Yeah, flu is going to kill millions this year and it'll be hidden behind covid. I don't think COVID will kill that many at all during winter, but the flu is going to rip through us.

It'll never happen. If someone is injected with a potentially life threatening vaccine, they will double down on their beliefs that everyone else is wrong. For evidence, see Jonestown, Joseph Smith, Manson Family Murders, Germany 1937-1944, any religious nutter, etc etc
