12 out Vs Chefs with COVID

[texaspackerbacker]

What do you mean when you say "CTE", because the only thing I found when I Googled it really doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard about Wilson, Brady, or Brees?

[bobblehead]

No thanks. I'll just wear a mask.

Did you know OSHA is very clear that a mask does NOT stop asbestos particals which are 50X the size of a virus? But its defs powerful in stopping the spread....expertise indeed.

[bobblehead]

It's hard to manage a person who is smarter than the entire universe. He's an incredibly talented douchebag

Your universe. There is an entire universe of people who disagree that are silenced and cancelled the minute they open their mouth. Experts and medical professionals even. However I do agree that Fauci has been spot on with everything he has said from the beginning so you should probably listen to him.

[bobblehead]

So he 'does his research', ignores effective vaccines and puts in with proven-to-be-placebos homeopathic quackery. He also claimed he didn't lie because there would be a negative reaction to saying he was unvaccinated. Something is just not right with his mind.

Can I ask everyone ONE simple question. If the vaccine is so safe (and effective is debateable) why has the federal government granted immunity from liability to all the vaccine makers. If they removed that immunity it would ease the mind of many people.

[bobblehead]

Well considering Wilson, Brady, and Brees all have business ventures into quackery, and all have CTE to one degree or another, should we be surprised about Rodgers doing so?

Since 70% of the NFL is vaccinated and they all have CTE should we all assume that they are morons and clueless about their choices and probably made the wrong one?

Masks aren't attempting to filter out all the virus particles. They are most effective at reducing the velocity of the gas coming out of your maw, reducing spread. I suppose this basic fact didn't make it into the final edit of Arod's 500-page Encyclopedia of Covid Knowledge.

Can you imagine how the NFL medical board reacted to Rodger's educational tome? They were probably caught somewhere between laughter and horror. After watching AR's rant, it's pretty obvious he doesn't know jack shit. He repeats one misconception after another.

Interesting story in WSJ. Turns out that hospitalized patients with previous infections (natural immunity folk) are five times more common than vaccinated patients. True even though there are far more vaccinated people out there.

edit: to extent masks are filtering, they're blocking tiny water droplets. Tiny, but still several orders of magnitude bigger than a virus.

The “goddamned” media sure as fuck is crucifying ‘Butte.’ Top 6 or 10 articles of Gannett-owned USA Today’s NFL section are about the error of Butte’s ways.

Imma enjoy whatever time Butte has left in the Green and Musta Yella, cos, I sure as fuck am gonna miss him when he’s donning purple.

To be fair, the NFL's medical experts probably suck. Mostly lawyer types, not research guys or clinical experts. But the only thing I'm basing that on is the shitty WFT medical staff of recent history and the staph infection fiasco from TB about 15 or so years back.

Yet some how we have heard all of their stories. This cancelled shit is bullshit. We have heard what they have to say and then they complain they are being silenced. That means they weren’t cancelled. We heard what they said. To expect there will be no reaction or consequences to what you do or say is childish and not realistic.

But we have certainly heard them. There voice was heard.

Doctors will say whatever the fat pigs are paying them to say.

Best point you've ever fucking made, whitebeard.

Besides making fun of Rodgers - again - sure wish there was an FYI thread on this topic…

I’d love to know what you’d admit you were wrong about w/ this as your seem pretty confident in your ability to regurgitate other expertise.

Why didn't you tell Bobble to "take it to FYI" when he posted the mask misinformation to which I responded?
As far as making fun of Rodgers, I'm just getting warmed up.

I’d love to know what you’d admit you were wrong about w/ this as your seem pretty confident in your ability to regurgitate other expertise.

It's certainly true that my competency is limited to regurgitating expert information. And that is bad thing because?

I honestly can't think of any info I've repeated during the pandemic that was greatly wrong. I was wrong in some of my predictions. I never dreamed so many ppl would have resisted vaccination after it's proven to be so effective. Covid vacc is about twice as effective as flu vacc, yet some (including Doctor Rodgers) have attacked it as weak. Many ppl don't get that a vaccine could be just 40% effective and still be successful in smothering a virus if it is broadly used. Vaccines are a public health measure as much as a personal decision. U.S. is very individualistic - for better and worse - and extreme individualism has been on the rise the past 30 years.

Fair point - bobble at least is in FYI.

Just prefer to keep this to football as much as we can.

well, you're right, I am being a bit of an ass. But a fish has got to swim, a bird has got to fly.
If the covid philsophizing is dropped I won't have an excuse.
