Skamba, I wonder*, do you spend any time on Miata sites from whatever country (Sweden?) you're from informing the fine people there or do you save all of that for us wonderful people here on MT.net?

I mean, just the other day you were talking about how the Wuhan Flu spiked in your country when they opened up the nightclubs and young people started to spread and widen the "pandemic". Surely these young people could use your wisdom and it would be a waste of your talent should you not be sharing it with them, too. It's summer in the northern hemisphere and those kids could be driving Miata's topless and sneezing without masks and infecting everyone within a 20 mile radius. I mean, I know I'm just an ignorant American (albeit naturalized, but I am one) and I don't care what's going on in the world so long as I can put ketchup on my ketchup, so I can see why you would think I need saving. I'm just saying, think of the children.

*ala JoeP- yes, this is a rhetorical question as I really don't want to know what you do in your spare time. I don't mean to tell you what to do but please do whatever makes you happy =)

and in case you don't understand, "high risk" doesnt mean old or weak or the ~80% of black Americans who decline the vax, it actually means: conservative/republican/alt-right.

No conspiracy nuts on the Dutch Miata (or rather MX5) forum unfortunately.

That being said, I just enjoy posting here. Hopefully the same reason as why you guys are posting here.

I just find it extremely ironic that you complain about media so much, but copy paste stuff from infowars. That is literally trash-tier journalism.

1. when did I quote infowars? be specific.
2. how is that ironic? I consistently trash the MSM about being a propaganda puppet of the leftist-state. How exactly is infowars -- who are often proven correct about their reports -- propaganda of the leftist agenda?

I will concede uncovering scandals and doing investigative journalism isn't good journalism nowadays -- too much work for such little respect/payoff.

Oh and would you look at this:

FEMA camps conspiracy theory

The FEMA camps conspiracy theory holds that the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison US citizens in concentration camps.[1][2][3] This is typically described as following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme versions, large numbers of US citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established.

...

With the end of Obama's presidency and the 2016 election approaching conspiracy theories (including the FEMA death camp idea) were heavily promoted by many on the right, from Alex Jonesto Donald Trump.[26]

Ever think back to the time of Jim Crow and wonder how the hell so many people went along with the obvious cruelty being imparted on so many people in their society.

Did you know that eugenics was settled science? People who didn’t allow blacks into their stores and wouldn’t allow their daughters or sons to date, marry or be around black people weren’t just being awful human beings—they were “trusting the science”. They were listening to the media, they were reading the New York Times, they were trusting the scientific papers coming out of Harvard and Yale and of course, following their government policies which told them that what their actions weren’t hateful, they were a matter of science. It was obviously cruel but they had to do it. It was science. Who would go against science?

We always like to believe that if we were alive then we would have stood up to the madness.
​​​​​​​
It seems now you can find out.

Are you an employer that is masking the unvaccinated? Firing the unvaccinated? Demanding that people show their papers before they come in because…science?

Unbelievable and scary!!

I think this summary excerpt explains it clear enough though:

Summary

... there is no empirical evidence whether this approach will increase, decrease or have no effect on morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 epidemic in various humanitarian settings.

Looks like infowars picked up his article. You'd have noticed this if you looked at the publish information (IW apparently quite often runs stories from other sources).




Does that make the article less true?

what's your point? Does that make them less true, when they are found to be true?

ever heard of "attack the source" logical fallacy? It's weird that these conspiracy theories keep turning out to be true...

Do you have a state approved list of new sources I'm allowed to read?



Tell me more about Russia.

Does that also mean you believe:
- Homosexuality is a government measure to reduce population
- Doctors were trying to kill Trump at Walter Reed
- Sandy Hook was staged
- Democrats need satanic energy from blood of babies
- 5g causes covid

And these are just some things I randomly picked up - I don't even follow the guy.

I find it very hard to take that source seriously. I could argue once again how you (as well as the maker of the article) don't understand statistics. I've been down that avenue a few times already. I'll do it once more:

As more people get vaccinated, the amount of vaccinated people in the hospital goes up as well, because they constitute a larger percent of the population. We already discussed before that the vaccine doesn't work perfectly in all cases - which no one is denying. About 50% of people are vaccinated now, yet only 15% (according to your own source) of people in hospitals are vaccinated. How is that anything but evidence that vaccines work?
