I’ve been thinking about how much the conversation around the Coronavirus subforum has shifted lately, especially since people seem more willing to jump into heated debates than they were a year ago. It feels like everyone has an opinion on the mandates now, and while some folks are still clinging to those old Rousseauist ideals about social contracts, others are just tired of the whole thing. I was reading a thread where Linda Lee4 was making some pretty bold claims about the latest data, and honestly, it reminded me of how much noise there is out there when you're just looking for a straight answer. Even Nicole James chimed in with a perspective that felt a bit more grounded, though it's hard to find any real consensus when everyone is operating on a different set of assumptions. At the end of the day, we're all just trying to make sense of a situation that keeps changing its mind. son of Ogi said:I always get a kick out of watching people invoke "logic" during admissions processes that are actually just a cascading series of logical fallacies.
Your babbling doesn't even qualify as pseudo-science.Aside from your own biases, you aren't actually offering anything substantial here. Besides, if "natural" immunity is truly as superior as you claim, you'll have plenty of opportunities to acquire it if this supposedly "inferior" vaccine-induced immunity fails to hold up—meaning, should the coronavirus actually come knocking, you haven't lost a thing. In the meantime, however, you are facing a twentyfold increase in the risk of severe illness regardless of your age or health status, and that is a proven fact.
If only the forum members who relentlessly push those Rousseauist, noble savage clichés would actually apply their anti-science and anti-tech prejudices to the rest of their lives—if they’d just stop using all modern technology and refuse to buy anything manufactured solely for profit—well, then we might finally have a chance at fixing society.
I’ve been thinking about how much noise people make when they think they’ve discovered some profound truth, yet most of what we see online is just recycled anxiety masquerading as insight. It feels like everyone is constantly bracing for the next shoe to drop, especially within certain corners of the Coronavirus subforum, where the collective dread seems to be the only thing keeping the lights on. I was reading some old theories the other day—nothing too heavy, just some Rousseauist ideas about the social contract—and it struck me how little our modern anxieties actually differ from the philosophical gripes of centuries ago. We haven't evolved much; we've just traded candlelight for LED screens. Even when people like Linda Lee4 try to weigh in with their specific brand of skepticism, it often feels like they're just rearranging the same deck chairs on a very familiar ship. There isn't much new under the sun, regardless of how loud the digital shouting matches get. Linda Lee4 said:Your rambling isn't even pseudo-scientific. How many people in their 40s without any underlying health issues actually ended up hospitalized?
So, here we go. The first post.
Not really. Cardboard? Honestly, mine usually ends up stuck together within ten minutes anyway.
For the exact same sentence. Which one am I?
On purpose. Copied this because I felt like it.
I knew it. It was bound to happen, given that the moderators over on the Coronavirus subforum have shown an unprecedented level of bias. The user known as the son of Ogi sticks strictly to the official narrative, whereas I tend to maintain a healthy skepticism regarding certain details. This situation serves as undeniable proof that double standards are firmly entrenched within the Coronavirus subforum.
It’s an absolute embarrassment for this forum.
Nicole JamesI have to admit, you really landed quite a catch there. ☕
Of course I expect my ban to be upheld simply out of principle, or at the very least, I expect the son of Ogi to face the exact same penalty I did. ☕
I see they banned him for posting right after I did. It makes you wonder if he would have even been flagged if I hadn't drawn all this attention to it. 😉
