The journey that COVID-19 will take us on

[Stylo]

Houehold of 3 with extended family of 4 and all of our known friends all double Jabbied!
Two of the 4 work together alongside a young bloke who's grand parents are vaxxed, but his ma School Teacher) and Pa (Internationally accredited electrician) ain't. He is Not yet Vaxed, those 2 are asking why they should have to work alongside him, their collective work and familiiy(at least 8-10 babys and children) bubbles involve 30 odd, people, all of whom he could affect.
Vaxed because, underlying health issues, because it stops us getting dead and might save some anti vxxer dying, win win really.

2 Jabs a 72 hr test for travel and unlimited access to our ordinarily boring lives, for us.
Nothing for anti's or un vaxed until they see sense and get it done.

Nice work mate . We're all double jabbed too. Only way to go...

lLke you, I'm struggling with the people who won't get the vaccination. I'm fearful of these guys now. Just saying.

Im interested in how many of the Kiwi biker forum here have been vaccinated. And, if not, why not.

Both my wife and myself got both jabs done as soon as possible.

The logic used by anti vaxxers baffles me. Most of them look relatively intelligent, until they open their mouth that is

To be fair, they should be fearful of you.

My understanding is that vaccinated people can still catch covid, they just hopefully won't get seriously ill/die, but they can still pass it on to others.....

It's about a 50/50 of my circle that are jabbed. Some of us got together the other night and played poker. To be fair I wondered why a couple of us had to double mask, shove a cork up our arses, and play from inside zorb balls whilst breathing through tubes that ran out of the windows.

Ok, that's a lie. We each know who is and who isn't jabbed and carried on as if it didn't matter, coz we realise that it actually doesn't. To be fair though, we also each know that transmission isn't restricted to the non-jabbed. Some have had the jab to help protect themselves, with others getting it simply to have access to the freedoms to come. No anti-vaxxers at the table with all adults and kids of the adults vaccinated to date (some kids haven't had Gardasil though)... just relatively well adjusted human beings having a fucking good laugh without the need to spend the night lecturing each other on the virtues of our choices in life and just which of us poses the greatest threat to society given that each individual offers more than enough of a cogent argument on the subject to keep us from needing to draw such stupid lines.

Logic? It's not logic, it's misinformation. They aren't all stupid, but they definitely lack critical thinking skills. They've read a lot of bullshit and sucked it in enthusiastically without actually seriously considering it.

Similarly, yesterday I heard a comment about people who work in Silicon Valley. They are generally very intelligent, but 'wisdom' can be almost entirely lacking. Their knowledge of what they are working on may be exemplary, but their understanding of its likely effects on the world tends to be exceedingly limited.

I'm telling people I am not having the jab just because it is fucking funny watching their reaction and listening to them dribble on.

Really? Is that entertainment for you?

You should get a more interesting life.

Tried a hobby?

Noticed a covid thing on the gram today telling people in Northland to get tested immediately if they have symptoms. No brainer IMHO.

The comments have me in despair.

"Don't get tested, too many false positives". I corrected the spelling.

"Give me a $20 KFC voucher and I will get tested, hook me up Cindy".

"No test, no case's. Wake up".

I suggest the gummint mandate that those who are stirring shit go to the back of the queue for a hospital bed if they catch it.

Grrrrr. Locked down til Monday now.

I'd rather get my enjoyment from riding motorcycles than by being a jerk about a serious disease that is causing so many problems (including from the lockdowns and closed borders).

Of course, it's a lack of independent critical thinking, which has its roots in intelligence in my view. There's an overload of info, good and bad, but one should be able to make an assessment after careful consideration.

One of the more enthusiastic anti-vaxxers doesn't want her sister and kids (all of them vaccinated) around, for fear of catching something from them after they've been jabbed. Something about vaccine shedding...
No point even starting the conversation to set such a misguided soul straight

[F5 Dave]

Anyone who mentions 'The Elite' or DNA altering should be set afloat on the high seas in leaky dingy for being stupid and damaging to public health.

I read a sad story about virus shedding. A woman drove eleven hours across the US to deliver a present to her daughters. When she arrived they asked if she had been vaccinated. When she replied that she had, they wouldn't let her in the house. She would shed the virus and make them infertile.

Off she went to start her eleven hour drive home. She didn't say if she left the present or took it home with her.

Eugenics is a evil thing.

".

A lot of people thing test are 100 percent acurate but biological disease diagnosis life is not so simple.
Sensitivity and specificity are traded off you can have a nearly 100 specific test (ie nearly no false positives) but when you do this no miss infected cases
so in the real world you trade specificity for sensitivity as a million times more harm is done missing infected cases.
