Genuine Question...

[Pakistani Hand Cannon]

regarding covid / vaccines etc.

putting ego aside & whether you think its a real threat / a conspiracy / over exaggerated...

what are your thoughts on censoring alternate perspectives that go against the mainstream narrative?

[Ouch]

Dumb question to me... my mom is 67.. my dad is 71.

Mom lives in sarasota florida. oldest people on earth. She said she got her first one she went and bought a dog from utah no shit... flew down there and then had to drive back because they wouldnt let a dog over 50lbs be on a plane.

my dad got his first shot... keeps reminding me his next one is on the 18th the day that college basketball tournaents start

[Ouch]

I just feel like, if you have the opportunity to get the shot, why not... I would


But i'm a young kid so whatever, I wear a mask everywhere I go at all times.

Lmfao can’t even ask a simple question anymore or else you get bombarded with crackhead thoughts from homeless people

You've forsaken honor and brought shame to your heritage.
This lame is embarrassing.
That's not my opinion that's the mainstream narrative.

[Pakistani Hand Cannon]

when people have no conviction in their own opinion - they often attempt to bolster it by stating & imagining its everyone elses.

Hello, English.

i think it's pretty obvious other people know what's best for me and it's not at all condescending to censor or limit the access of mis/dis/information on an individual basis because i can't be reasonably trusted to exercise critical thought.

no brainer. literally.

bro, you was supposed to just see the word "vaccine" & just blurt out whether your gettin it or not? cause thats what i asked...

lol shitt

Hello, English.

pm me on my eng account fam, lets collab, & battle & stuffs!

[Ouch]

not old enough to get a vaccine yet here.. are you in another country Paki?

Meaning other than the US?

my parents both got their shots but they're mid 60's and 70. No clue how long it'll be before someone my age can get one. I'll one when I can though.

[Sharp]

got the one dose vaccine

no krumping yet

Was surprised that the media didn't push the one semi credible story of a florida doctor dying after getting his first covid shot back in december/januray. I do remember CNN or the NYT covering it, though.

This study popped up in my little news circles last month: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7008e3.htm

The adverse extreme (fatal) case volume seems pretty sporadic - well beyond what constitutes sampling error in any statistically sound research - so it is probably an active choice between getting the views/clicks while still maintaining journalistic integrity. Sensationalizing what could be nothing would absolutely cost you credibility with your target market and advertisers... but I'm assuming you already assumed/wanted to hear that?

[Ouch]

You got the shot wtf how old are you.

I’m semi out of shape because drinking/smoking... I’m 15-20lbs overweight for what I think I should be. But as far as a national average or anything I wouldn’t be considered overweight at all. If I got COVID I’d know about it I’m sure... but definitely not life threatening.

Regairdless I’ll get my shot when I can, Michigan has this website you just answer a multiple choice Q and A, get put on a list.. but I’m in my 30s so it’s been months and will be months more I’m sure.
Sharp, how could you get a shot already... how fucking old are you?

[Answer]

Always knew sharp was 65+

[Ouch]

Always knew sharp was 65+

Word.. both my parents got it... the 2 shot one but they’re both 65+.

As far as regular people and shit (meaning like you aren’t some weird rich celebrity that can buy it), you can’t get it at our median age.

Maybe he’s in a different country though, and also maybe part of the medical field and what not, some of them at a younger age can get it... but my girl is a full RN and my age and doesn’t have it.

[Ouch]

My cousins like 28 or something and is an ER RN and doesn’t have it either.. last I heard at least... but I know some do or can

[Ouch]

And by ‘our median age’... I’ve pretty much gathered everyone on here is late 20s up to even late 30s more so early 30s I’d guess

[uh-oh]

sharps a teacher

none of you even answered the question btw

i think its ridiculously dangerous how giant corporations are controlling what news, ideas and opinions can be put out.

[Ouch]

Oh yeah I forgot about that, I was talking about how my dad was a teacher on the uhh.. discord and he said ya dad was a pussy... nah just playing I’m a teacher too...

But still I do t think teachers get preferential treatment with the vaccine though.

[Ouch]

They should IMO... but not sure they do

[Eŋg]

bro, you was supposed to just see the word "vaccine" & just blurt out whether your gettin it or not? cause thats what i asked...

soz. i'm not getting vaccinated.

none of you even answered the question btw

I started writing out a thorough answer but then I remembered how pointless it was trying to have a conversation with dude in the other thread and moved on with my life

Lmfao. Ik right, what a fucking retard.

But still I do t think teachers get preferential treatment with the vaccine though.

It's entirely pragmatic. If I test positive that means every kid I see for more than 15 minutes at once over a two week period has been 'exposed' by county health standards and should force a quarantine for about 500 people.

what are your thoughts on censoring alternate perspectives that go against the mainstream narrative?

It’s a terrible idea.

I probably disagree with you, but I don’t want you to not be able to say what you think. One of my main problems with the world today is that people feel unable to say what they think.

If I believe something, what you believe is really of no concern to me.

it'd concern you if someone was forcefully pushing their beliefs onto you though, right?

& thank you for a coherent response to a question that was actually asked.

hope your son is growing up healthy bruddah.

[fraze]

How do we handle people who are pushing known lies and misinformation?

There is a societal cost to that personal stupidity. Yeah, I get the angle of not being able to trust any gov't participation in regulating speech because it could easily be made into a political weapon. But people are using lies as political weapons now and there are people dying every day because of it.

I don't think censoring speech is ever the answer. But if we don't find a way to call out the lies our society is going to devour itself from the inside out (while our international adversaries laugh and cheer it on).
