To post your opinion once is acceptable. To continue to post the same opinion regardless of negative feedback is decidedly lacking in self awareness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's been a covid denier, an anti-masker and now he seems to have gone full on anti-vax. (probably one of the most sensible corona-coaster theory journeys tbh (sensible as in it makes sense why someone could go through all those moonhowling viewpoints in the last year one by one)) Actually quite interesting from a sociological viewpoint the wild and varied groups people have had to try to attach themselves to to justify their viewpoints throughout the last 12 months. Even on here we've had lockdown "sceptics" and it's just the flu-ers who've now had to become full on champions of big pharma, flag waving tories clutching Princess Diana dolls, and many people (not so much on here but they're out there in the Internet jungle) who were full on lockdown supporters are starting to flirt with anti-vax influencers. Obvs plenty of shift amongst those groups too. All because they can't bring themselves to admit that some arbitrary position they took in August last year might be wrong. The Internet is fucking mental. Bit like proper free the weed hippies pivoting into full on trumpers through being poisoned by Q-Anon.

Charging folk for saying or cracking jokes that are in bad taste is an extremely worrying trend. It would certainly make The Dead Pool thread boring... I think I'd better just hand myself in now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, it seems, because the transmission rate in general is so high its better to be on the safe side, although they do think it stops transmission. Also that (as image) illness rates have risen in children recently and they attribute it to the good old UK strain . There was a lot of noise about that possibility when the strain was first discovered (and I felt at the time contributed to the decision to finally close the schools). Not heard much about it since then - surely we must have data on that by now - I'd assumed that NS' decsion (and Wales) to open the school had meant that this has not turned to be as much of a problem as it was thought it might be. Anyone seen anything about that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
