So, that Washington state trooper who quit over the radio instead of getting the covid vaccine?

Yeah, he died of covid.

"Jay Inslee can kiss my ass" ...goodbye. 🤒

So sadly unnecessary.

I take it they buried him face down then?

In Canada they are planning to use vaccination passport so you lose you ability to go public places or work if you don't get mandatory vaccinations. Vaccinations aren't "forced" as it's against Nuremberg code but without forced vaccinations you are going to lose your constitutional rights. It's actually becoming pretty much like it is in North Korea or China.
We have had restrictions in place for nearly 2 years now. Showing proof of vaccination isn't losing your rights. Cutting down the rampant spread of covid due to covidiots like yourself is necessary. Private companies are allowed to mandate vaccines as terms of employment. Don't like it? Don't work there. Simple.

As soon as you mention "Nuremberg code" you just show how bloody ignorant you are.

Again, YOU are the angry one, not I. I can handle it just fine, don't you worry.

Secondly, AGAIN, I never said vaccines aren't accepted science. What is WRONG with you? And guess what, unlike you, I DID go back and read ALL the comments again, for the THIRD time, because I DO want to learn and make sure I'm not talking out of my ass. I assure you, your memory does NO serve you correctly.

That you seldomly respond with anger is just preposterous; the sheer amount of name-calling suggests otherwise. This is crazy.
After work, I came home and I found your post (#3873) to clear up your false accusation of me lying in your prior post, and to clear up the question if my memory is off. Specially since you didn't have the integrity to present the post. Take note of the bold type, specifically the underlined part, in what YOU Wrote:

This is about humans, and the English are not THAT different from the Americans. Well, I guess the latter's children are far more obese, which IS a serious comorbidity. Your water analogy is preposterous, I wont even go there...

Whole point I was trying to make was, that believing under 18s should be vaccinated indiscriminately is NOT accepted science worldwide , it just isn't. In the black & white world of THIS forum you guys seem to only want to have it either/or but it's not that simple.

Do you even comprehend what you said there? Even though you dressed it up as under 18s being vaccinated indiscriminately, what you said there means vaccines are not accepted science world wide. You can't single out part of the science, or a particular age group and state it's not an acceptable science worldwide, and then try to claim you never said vaccinations aren't accepted science worldwide because that is exactly what you did for a particular age group (under 18s). Unless you try to ignore the under 18 year old's, that you made your claim about. Under 18 year old's being vaccinated is part of the very science you are trying to manipulate.

It doesn't matter how you dress it up or try to back peddle, I'm not the one who lied here, nor is their a problem with my memory. Either you are the deliberately trying to be dishonest with your false accusations. Or, you not only fail at comprehending what other's say in their posts, you can't even comprehend what you type in your own damn posts.. And you wonder why I call you an idiot! It is purely all about your stupidity in your posts, and nothing to do with anger.

Novax gets Consequences. Loses appeal and is deported. :p


So, does he stop going to Grand Slams, or does he get his shot, or fakes getting them.

A little smile tangent to interrupt the Trolls. Best possilble outcome at Australian Open. This was Novak Djokovic's to win if wasn't an Antivaxxer, now Rafael Nadal has the most Grand Slams:

I live in Europe and in this country hasn't been any unusual saturation in hospitals. Excess deaths after 2nd vaccine shot started to be about 10:1 against Covid deaths, and 3rd shot about doubled excess deaths again. Authors haven't given any explanations to those death rates yet.

Europe is not a country.

A simple Google search proves your statement a lie. Just look up a simple search term like "CountryX overwhelmed covid" and you can see a lot of news articles about healthcare being crushed under the weight of Covid cases. Nearly all of which are preventable by the vaccine. If the majority vaccinated, then the small number of those who are immunocompromised would get the care they need and be protected as well, all of this without stressing the healthcare system of their respective country.

In Europe and Canada they are planning to use vaccination passport so you lose you ability to go public places or work if you don't get mandatory vaccinations. Vaccinations aren't "forced" as it's against Nuremberg code but without forced vaccinations you are going to lose your constitutional rights. It's actually becoming pretty much like it is in North Korea or China.

Bullshit. Founding Fathers of the US like George Washington (some of you may notice the name sounds familiar, cause he was the first frickin POTUS), or Ben Franklin, believed in vaccines. Washington had a smallpox vaccine mandate before he even became POTUS. Vaccine mandates have been in place for like forever both to attend public education, and for organizations like the US military.


That's an executive order. Nothing close to the US Constitution or State Constitution. This is so far of a reach, it's like trying to catch the moon with your bare hands while standing on earth.


I'm not going to go through all of your posts, but it is all 100% Grade-A Bullshit.

James Martin a Jesuit Priest writes in the NYT today that we are going against Christ's will by being part of this discussion.
Warning pay wall:
Opinion | How to Process the Covid Deaths of Anti-Vaxxers - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

I do hate to say he is wrong. This is War millions are dying and those who put the rest of us at risk are committing crimes against humanity. When at long last we had a vaccine and could get this under control it became a civic responsibility to get vaccinated. Our enemies are killing our loved ones while they kill themselves. The time for understanding is past.

Sure, it should have been handled better. Sounds like Tennis Australia dropped that ball.

I wonder if they said no excuses, you need a vaccination if he just would have faked getting one. There are some discrepancies with the sequencing of his perfectly timed Covid infection (that he never isolated for) that he uses for his exemption.

I really couldn't be happier with this outcome. No one plays with more heart than Nadal.

You can check yourself, Finland, 2nd vaccination started about week 20 of 2021. Excess deaths are about 10 to 1 vs Covid deaths. And covid deaths include death with Covid so that number is exaggerated. And because of lockdowns and social distancing non-covid mortality should be lower than usual like it was first half of 2021 before 2nd vaccination started, so real difference might be quite a bit bigger than those directly from stats. stats.oecd.org

No, the number is not "exagerated". It's undercounted. The excess deaths are almost certainly COVID deaths that were not counted as such because people were not tested before death.

Lockdowns and social distancing would tend to both increase and decrease deaths - less flu, fewer car crashes, but more people dying of non-COVID conditions that they didn't get to see a doctor (or psychiatrist) about in time due to the health system being over-loaded with COVID cases. It's hard to say what the net effect of those two opposing effects would be - it seems to vary from country-to-country.

Have you checked death statistic by yourselves? stats.oecd.org for example. Seems that excess deaths in US are about half from Covid deaths, other half of excess deaths is coming from something else(high probability that it is vaccination deaths)
You do realize that before covid that people died every day?

You are the kid where when the teacher passed tests back after grading, that they always had a sad look and placed your test paper face down on your desk.

Vaccines often do more harm than good - that's why vaccines approval takes usually 10 years and only small fraction of vaccines are good enough to use. That's not how covid-19 vaccines are tested. They are still experimental vaccines and everybody takes them at their own risk. If you die from experimental vaccine side-effects that's juridically suicide - you aren't getting anything from your life insurance and so on. And today there aren't yet vaccines against omicron. Instead they mandated that non-working vaccine has to be taken every four months to keep you vaccine passport green. That's pure insanity.
I'm sorry that you were born to a clumsy mother, as she obviously dropped you on your head frequently.

Well, that's not quite what he's saying, I think, as he does mention "excess" deaths - i.e. the extra people dying, conmpared to those dying every day. But his wording is so confusing that it's hard to make out what he's trying to say (presumably not a native English speaker?). The point he's missing is that most of those excess deaths are likely to be simply COVID deaths that weren't tested and counted as such. A few will be from the other effects of the pandemic, i.e. difficulty accessing health care for other conditions.

Mainly he seems to be labouring under the delusion that all COVID deaths are picked up and formally registered as such on death certificates. Just as with flu epidemics, everyone knows that isn't what happens.

he's a clumsy writer but he knows all the covidiot talking points:

Nuremberg Code
Experimental vaccine
Co-morbidities
Covid is just the flu
Losing your rights
Bill Gates
Deaths from vaccine
Horse de-wormer drug

and on and on.

Yeah - in particular, I noticed his mention of the "Nuremberg Code", and that's a bit of a red flag. It's funny how there are certain phrases that signify a kind of membership of a sect of some sort. If someone refers to "the Nuremberg Code" you know they spend time on mad anti-vaxx sites, if they refer to "the maintream media" you know they are a Trumpist (whereas a far-leftist would, at least in the old days, have referred to "the bourgeois press").

I guess that's the original meaning of the word "Shiboleth"?

Well the right is right about how the media has to sensationalize COVID. Need eyeballs, so great way to get readers.

That asshole was all over the local news here, until he had mercy on the state and quit. Thought he was hot shit. Well, now you left a widow and four children to fend for themselves. How hot are you now?
Well 6 feet of earth will keep his corpse at a pretty stable temperature.... I'd be surprised if he got above room temp even on the hottest of days.

So to answer your question - not that hot.

Maybe briefly super-hot ~1600 degrees, if they went the cremation route...
