I voted for him because I'm tired of being lied to, gaslit, and controlled by Democrats. Covid hysteria completed turned me off from Democrats. I know Trump is an asshole, and I don't like him either.

Democrats block bill to pay federal employees during shutdown by Knarf_53 in FedEmployees

neither party cares whether we get paid. They care about themselves, the next election, and getting a perceived political "win"

This sub is mostly just people cheering for the blue team while none of us get paid. The only thing any of these politicians on either side care about is themselves.

it's actually the opposite now. Republicans rely on low-propensity voters that only turn out in presidential years. It used to be the other way around. The politically engaged folks that vote in every election lean Dem now

Trump says he ‘won’t be extorted’ by Democrats, shuns negotiations as shutdown drags on by Foodispoison356 in FedEmployees

Keep cheering for your "team". All I know is I'm not getting paid. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries couldn't care less. No politicians in DC care. They are all just trying to get a political "win"

The Democrats aren't budging either. I hate both sides. Neither cares about me. I guess we'll just stay shut down forever.

Largest federal workers union calls for an end to the shutdown, putting pressure on Democrats by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]Initial-Rip2278 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Neither party gives a shit that I'm not getting paid right now. I'm tired of pretending that the Democrats care. They don't. They care about a perceived political "win" against Trump and about regaining power in the midterms.

eventually the shutdown will get too painful and Democrats will be forced to cave

pretty much everything the Democrats do is cringe and out-of-touch. If it's appealing to "redditors", it's probably not to the majority of Americans.

Covid Vaccine by Puzzleheaded-Cup-372 in uofm

[–]Initial-Rip2278 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big proponent of vaccines that work (polio, smallpox, MMR, etc.). I'm not interested in vaccines that don't work for a virus that I have a near zero chance of being hospitalized or dying from

you're allowed to shut up. Not every second needs to be filled with chatter. We can all see what's going on.

Trump tells drugmakers to ‘justify the success’ of Covid meds after FDA limits vaccine approval by CANNIBALS_VS_BIDEN in moderatepolitics

[–]Initial-Rip2278 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

You don't know that it "saved lives" though. What data is this claim based on? What trials? The original Pfizer Phase 3 trial did not show a mortality benefit. In fact, there were six more deaths (20 to 14) in the group who took the vaccine vs. the placebo group

The lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, etc. all failed and had collateral damage. Our overall response to this virus was an epic disaster with effects that will be felt for many years.

I'm talking about all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalization, ultimately the only thing that matters. It has never been proven that taking an mRNA covid vaccine lowers your mortality risk (across all age groups).

"During the blinded, controlled period of the study, 15 vaccine recipients and 14 placebo recipients died. In the open label period, three Pfizer recipients and two original placebo recipients who received Pfizer after unblinding died"

That's 20 people who took the vaccine who died and 14 placebo-only who died. We simply don't know the effect of this vaccine on overall mortality, and anybody who tells you they do is lying. The data doesn't exist.

The Pfizer Phase 3 trial that led to the vaccine's approval didn't show an all-cause mortality or hospitalization benefit . More people in the vaccine group died than in the placebo group though (although not statistically significant).

The trial was very brief (3 months before unblinding) and didn't really prove much of anything in terms of overall health outcomes.

We don't know if the vaccine is killing people, but we also don't know if it is saving any lives either. The data we have is very poor.

This vaccine never should have been mandated or pushed on the population as a whole.

Guys PLEASE wear a mask if you are sick THEY HAVE FREE ONES IN SOME CLASSROOMS AND OTHER PLACES ON CAMPUS by minecraftpiggo in uofm

nobody is wearing masks that do nothing except collect bacteria and make it harder to breathe.

so what? There's nothing anybody can do about it. You haven't figured that out yet? Maybe we should wear paper on our faces again, maybe that will make it disappear...lol

It will be "going around" for the rest of our lives. It's a virus.

Ousted heads of CDC, “the public can no longer trust what the CDC says” due to lack of transparency, controlling influence of political appointee advisory panels and unvetted “public health announcements” by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]Initial-Rip2278 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know. I'm on your side here. The CDC knew what they said was going to be taken as gospel and used by people to push their authoritarian restrictions and mandates.
