But, for those who want to experiment on human beings, there are plenty who long for the jab. — MondoR

We don't want to experiment on human beings. They've already stepped up.

Like the Nazis, they like experimenting with people. — MondoR

Would you be prepared to sign a waiver to the effect that you will refuse medical treatment if you catch covid even if your condition becomes critical? That would be at least a step towards common decency. — Janus

:100: :up:

I think the spread increased for Joe. LOL! But now Texas is bowing to Trump's demands. :roll: What a loser.

:point: :up:

breakthrough cases — Xtrix

like the new masking protocols: All the fault of Dr. Mondo, el al. Negligent homicide, at the very least.

They ALWAYS need more research. It's a BIG business. So much for your pontification. — MondoR

Wait, so is Dr. Mondo saying science is not a process and must meet the childish demands of: "ANSWER! NOW!"?

I guess it's more important to say "GOTCHA" than having to actually think and comprehend transmogrification. After all, why "adult" if we don't have to? How's that buggy whip working for you?

I'll bet Marj is moving the clock a few milliseconds. — praxis

Many years ago I wrote a paper suggesting that the domestication of species (that would include plants) was original sin. In essence, we deprive an animal of it's essence. This cannot be good for our spirit. Our soul. Counterintuitively, it also did not help with our insecurity and desperation. Rather, it compounded them. So much so that we now consider objective vices to be proof-positive evidence of what are really subjective virtues.

I've also considered fire as a potential culprit. But I'm still cogitating on that.

Just by way of checking how far you normally take this attitude... — Isaac

How far will you take yours? If this were "the big one" would you change your attitude or just let five billion people die in three months?

I don't know if it's true, but I'm entitled to my confirmation bias, aren't I?

Dr. Mondo:

It was tongue-in-cheek. — NOS4A2

Got it.

Those old demarcations never existed in the first place. — NOS4A2

I don't know what demarcations you are referring to. So I'll let it go at that.

You think it is all a joke right? — MondoR

I think any inconvenience to you is a joke. I don't think you know what a hard life is.

Hardly. Some union members were protesting their own union while shit-talking the Labour government. So much for labour. — NOS4A2

I didn't think so. I should have known you misspoke when you said: "It’s good to see labour in Australia is finding its teeth again." Thanks for clearing that up.

Right, it is the millions who have been killed, and the 100s of millions whose lives have been destroyed by a man-made virus. — MondoR

I asked you before, have you ever seen a life destroyed? You sound like pampered, entitled, hyperbolic little child who thinks a mask is an inconvenience. "Destroyed?" LOL! What's the matter, can't pack the bars and snuggle with strangers any more? You don't care about those killed or inconvenienced. It's all about you.

You don't have any. — MondoR

And neither do you. The difference is, I'm not claiming I do. Dr. Mondo. LOL!

Wrong. Cite? — MondoR

Right. Do your own research, Dr. Mondo. LOL!

The heck I care. — MondoR

It's not about you.

How do you know you exist? Cite? — MondoR

I don't. I never said I did. See how that works?

Why don't you cite everything you say. — MondoR

LOL! I'm not the one here claiming expertise. I'm humble enough to rely upon expertise. You should try it.

Read the literature and reporting. There is tons of it. — MondoR

If that were true, then you would not be saying what you're saying. Take your own advice.

That is why I'm the U.S. everyone has to wear masks again. — MondoR

You're the U.S.? Or did you mean "in"? The new mask mandate is courtesy of those who violated the old mask mandate. DOH!

You're so smart, you couldn't figure out what I was saying? — MondoR

You said:

Why should I take instructions and advice from a totally uninformed person like yourself? — MondoR

So I was wondering why I should take advice from someone who can't spell or write. Just curious.

we are faced with a man-made virus — MondoR

Cite?

I'd be crazy to take advice from the total idiots that created the human catastrophe. — MondoR

How do you know they are the same idiots? Cite?

they mad-scientists that created the virus are now running the vaccination show. — MondoR

Cite?

Natural immunity is better than the silly 6 months of immunity you get from a vaccination — MondoR

Cite? I heard antibodies fade faster with natural?

I have NATURAL IMMUNITY. — MondoR

It's not about you. You don't count.

Vaccinated people are not only spreading the virus, but they are also a great environment for creating mutations. — MondoR

Cite? I thought it was the people who didn't play ball that were responsible for the variants?

I guess maybe you are an expert after all. What lab do you use?

It's already been shown trees virus load is the same for vaccinated same vaccinated. — MondoR

When did trees virus load work into this? And of course the virus load is the same for vaccinated same vaccinated.

It’s good to see labour in Australia is finding its teeth again. — NOS4A2

Wait, what? So you're all about labour? Cool. I didn't know.

Meh. That's not a problem. At the height of our greatness we had a marginal tax rate of some 90% with a butt-load of exemptions (directed toward investment, jobs, or infrastructure). Then we reduced the rate to 20 some % but left all the exemptions (and then some) in place. So the 1% doesn't pay shit.

Plus, taxes don't pay but a small fraction of our debt/deficit. We are the world bank (that is so long as the heavy-hitters trade on the petrodollar, and not barter or use some other form of currency; if they do that, we just sanction them or invade them). So, we just print money. That's what we've been doing all along. Besides, if the Democrats pay off the debt, the Republicans will just run it up again.

The goal here is to keep the proletariat from rising up and lopping the heads off of the 1%; and to teach the 1% that they can't get something for nothing.

If a guy says "I don't work for my money; my money works for me" then shouldn't his money, as an employee, a worker, have to pay withholdings and other taxes like the rest of the working stiffs? Maybe his money should unionize against him and demand better working conditions. After all, if a corporation can have personality, why shouldn't a dollar? I demand dollars get more dollars for their labor! Dollars of the world unite!

P.S. Let's make it the 10% instead of the 1%. Just for kicks.

It seems to me that you are saying people cannot logically use a tool that does not exist. If that is the case, I'd like to introduce you to the human race.

So you're saying science is like a religion and it's conclusions should never be questioned? — Harry Hindu

Your thinking that that might be what I was saying reflects negatively on your cognitive abilities. I can't pretend to have the skill required to pierce the fog that must be your mind.

I do know how science works. You only arrive at the correct answer after making all possible mistakes. — Harry Hindu

Google "Scientific Method." Then ask yourself if science, the CDC, Fauci, et al, should have had all the answers (to your satisfaction) on day one in November of 2019.

Also consider that Fauci, who was trying to reserve a limited mask supply for doctors and nurses, was dealing with a fundamentally stupid population that caused an unnecessary run on toilet paper. Fauci told the Harry Hindu's of the world that masks were not necessary because he knew that if he told the Harry Hindu's of the world that masks helped, then the Harry Hindu's of the world would have panicked and gone out and bought up all the N-95 and other masks, leaving the doctors and nurses with nothing. You see, Fauci is not only an expert, but he is smarter than you, and wiser than you. See how that works? But one thing he could not foresee is that Trump would not invoke the requisite war-footing to spin up masks as fast as we could have.

You are a classic example of the type of person who should not question. You should just do what you are told. I don't care if it's Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson who tells you. You aren't meant to be a thinker, to have curiosity, or to engage the world. That is not your lot in life. You need to get back in your cubicle or wherever it is you work and spin your wheels there. This part of life is over your head. This is no sleight on you. The world needs minions too.

This has been my morning finger exercise, limbering up to type more, for others who can appreciate my genius. Carry on, Harry.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with how science works. And apparently I was a fool to take your curiosity at face value. You're just another fucking idiot. Sorry to have wasted our time. Carry on.

Taking your post at face value, I can only assume you've been living under a rock. You might try "doing your own research" and not on a philosophy forum. There are no experts here. Try the CDC web site. Or look up hospitals that are "booked" with Covid patients to the detriment of innocent-others who need those resources, for Covid and non-Covid reasons. Or there is always Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson. :roll:

Thank you Red Tail, for watching my gifts.

Make the rich pay for it. They already got their $16T bailout with the tax cut. And this 3.5T is over ten years.

:100: Another thing to consider, the first rule of Dr. Evil is to have an antidote before releasing the poison.

I do recognize they provide an excellent revenue stream. — MondoR

Keeping people alive is also a good revenue stream.

What I am fervently against is having a bunch of hysterical, crazies telling me what I should stick in my body, — MondoR

That sounds more like the anti-vaxxers than the vaxxers. I have yet to see Fauci, el al, act like hysterical crazies. Now, Tucker Carlson and the other conspiracy turds: there's some crazy.

particularly if the same crazies were involved with the development of a virus that has destroyed the lives of hundreds of millions of people. — MondoR

First, I don't accept that it was man made. Second, even if it was man-made, what evidence do you have that the "crazies" that developed it are the same "crazies" that are trying to get you to vax? Painting all scientists with the same brush is fundamentally stupid.

Finally, what evidence do you have the the lives of hundreds of millions of people have been destroyed? That sounds like hyperbole to me. Have you ever seen a life destroyed?

maybe there are limits to how self-centered he is — Srap Tasmaner

No.

More bemused of how humans go around destroying themselves in the name of science. — MondoR

You're wrong, then. It's not in the name of science. Science is just a tool. We lie about how it's in the name of our children and other such nonsense. It's really in the name of money.

No opinion on how scientists have destroyed life on Earth as we once knew it. — MondoR

If you were worried about that, you're about 200 years too late.
