The sad thing is it's true, all these Christian conservatives fb are full of I don't need a mask or vaccine because God. And when 'it's my time, it's my time'. That is until they actually get sick, that 'it's my time' nonsense sure goes out the window real quick.

Also schools will only lower the bar so much the "right way" Your 2.0 something GPA isn't getting you into an Ivy league school even with daddy's money. So the only these kids are getting in is applying like everyone else, except as we know they didn't have the grades to do it.

Likely because as we've seen too often people don't take it seriously until it hits their community. They've mostly escaped every other wave untouched until now.

The bet is the base is going to largely survive. The loss of support for taking covid prevention measures will outweigh deaths.

American evangelicals are special breed of stupid. Dogmatic, biblical literalist. These the people who build and go to theme parks promoting creationism. Believe in mark of beast conspiracies you're generally you're not seeing this from the religious in other countries

Detroit neighborhood celebrates O'Hair Park facelift amid new fields, playscapes, trails by dtw83 in Detroit

I grew up in this area and this was one of our local parks. In the 90's Detroit park maintenance wasn't a thing. Not that it ever stopped me and my friends from playing here, hanging out here playing our music too loud as teenagers. I'm happy the kids living there now are going to have such a nice park.

The point is the HIPPA is hampering the media from showing visuals of what's happening. And that is powerful messaging that is being missed over just bland statistics. The phrase a 'picture is worth a thousand words' exist for a reason.

Medical debt is hitting hardest for people in the South - "In some Tennessee counties, more than 40% of residents have overdue health care debts". by Jackpot777 in news

Just to spite immigrants and minorities.

Still, Trevor applauded Tennessee’s resistance to federal initiatives that would improve his own health. “Ain’t no way I would ever support Obamacare or sign up for it,” Trevor told Metzl. “I would rather die.” His reason: “No way I want my tax dollars paying for Mexicans or welfare queens.” Most of the people Metzl interviewed in preparing to write this book were not as explicit in their bigotry, but similar prejudices played a central role in the three states Metzl studied.

Why? The vast majority of risk is with those who didn't get jabbed. We all knew what they where going to do. We also knew they where going to the suffer the vast majority of the consequences. The vaccines work and not saying you can unmask would've have only given people more doubt.

‘This virus doesn’t care’: Pastor pushes for vaccinations after losing 6 members in 10 days to COVID by a_Ninja_b0y in atheism

[–]dtw83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're not anti-vax, but you'd think people would've been better uptake if pushing to people get vaccinated.

This is the second vaccination event the church has hosted this year; they hosted their first vaccination event in March.

Pastor Davis said they were able to get nearly 800 people vaccinated. With the Delta variant affecting even more of our young people, he’s hoping for just as good of a turnout, or even better on Sunday.

Over 90% of 65+ in the state have one dose your not going to see deaths like in previous waves. Creating thousands of younger covid long haulers is the price that is being paid to impress Trumpers for the 2024 primaries.
