    It's obviously a misleading cartoon, spread by right-wing groups who are trying to manipulate stupid people into thinking that reasonable COVID restrictions are bad. Think of who benefits from the spread of the virus.

    All the people who get immunity benefit.

    Bullshit

    OK, it's much better to not have any immunity and live in fear. I'll trust you on this, doctor.

    Reports indicate that the immunity doesn't last, and that people can be reinfected in a few months. (Hence my comment.) A combination of basic precautions and vaccines, and potentially the immunity benefit, should do the trick.

    Vaccines work the same way on immunity as infection does.

    We don't know yet, as there are several versions of vaccines. One benefit of a vaccine is that it can be applied at will, whereas it's not easy to understand periods of immunity and what to do about them.

    Bless Israel and the jewish people!

    For extorting from me and my fellow Americans $4,000,000,000.00 a year for the last 4 decades, we bless thee.

    For taking our most sophisticated weapons technology and stealing it for yourself without paying the American patent holders, we bless thee.

    For taking that high-tech military technology and selling it to our enemies, such as the Russians and Chinese, thus further endangering us, we bless thee.

    For using that weaponry in a sustained attack against a United States ship, the USS Liberty, in an attempt to sink her, thus preventing US servicemen from revealing to the rest of the world information concerning the war crimes they witnessed you commit against Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai Desert during the Six Day War, as well as for the purposes of dragging the US into yet another one of your murderous adventures, we bless thee.

    For killing 35 and wounding 170 American sailors aboard the USS Liberty, we bless thee.

    For bribing the United States government into covering it up, preventing any justice from being done for the benefit of the families of the lost sailors – as well as the American People, we bless thee.

    For sending your agents into Egypt and blowing up American buildings for the purpose of blaming the Arabs in an event known as the Lavon Affair, we bless thee.

    For sending your agents into Libya during the Reagan administration, and broadcasting radio messages in Arabic that were designed to sound like “terrorist cell planning” so that the US would initiate military strikes against Khadafi in an event known as Operation Trojan Horse, we bless thee.

    For withholding information from us concerning the planned attacks against the US Marine barracks in Lebanon, attacks you knew about through your moles in the Islamic world and about which you deliberately refused to warn us in order to further your interests against the Arabs, we bless thee.

    For employing Jonathon Pollard, an American serviceman paid to spy for Israel in order to steal even more of our National Security secrets for your parasitic purposes, we bless thee.

    For breaking every agreement you have made with your Arab neighbors, stealing their land, displacing, murdering, and treating them like the animals you see them as, we bless thee.

    For using your agents within the first Bush administration to involve us in the first Gulf War, causing the deaths of American men and women, and exposing our servicemen to whatever bio-weapons were and are responsible which have led to Gulf War Syndrome, we bless thee.

    For your role in the September 11 attacks in this country, and for blackmailing and bribing the US government into deporting back to Israel the 100 or more intelligence agents that were arrested after the attacks, we bless thee.

    For suppressing the information from the American people of your involvement in the September 11 attacks and sending us in the wrong direction in search of answers, we bless thee.

    For using one of your agents in the US Army Weapons Lab to steal anthrax and distribute it into our mail system, terrorizing US citizens and killing several in order to blame the Arabs, we bless thee.

    For using your agents in the US Government, namely, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Abrams, and the rest into initiating this war in the Middle East so that you could bring to heel all the enemies you have made during the last 50 years, we bless thee.

    For using your agents in the media to lie to us on a minute by minute basis about the war, lying to us as to how “just” this cause is, and what the real reasons behind it are, we bless thee.

    For using your agents in the Christian Evangelical community, such as Falwell, Graham, Swaggert, Robertson and the rest who praise you as God’s chosen people and further keep Americans in the dark about who you really are what you have done, and what you are truly about, we bless thee.

    For bringing idiots like Limbaugh, Liddy, Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly and Savage to the forefront as paid liars who will support you and further lead Americans astray, we bless thee.

    For making America your attack dog, and for sending her sons and daughters to fight and die in all your future wars, we bless thee. For using your influence in the media to hide the real statistics about the war, the dead and wounded on both sides, we bless thee.

    For using us in such a way that not only further inflames the Arab world against us, but as well has succeeded in our alienating ourselves against those nations with whom we have been friendly for over a century, we bless thee.

    And finally, for using your influence in our media and academia to flood our minds with pornography and lies, as well as inculcating in us a hatred for our history, religion, and culture, for dividing our nation between races and sexes, and for releasing into our society all of your plagues and filth that have left us a rotted out corpse of a once great nation, oh Israel, our friend,

    We bless thee.

    I agree wholeheartedly - though this seems somewhat off-topic. (Reddit /r/worldnews would love this. [not really])

    Just watched a report on the news saying that immunity tested so far lasts for up to 3 months. The vaccine will have no greater effect. So, what- you want to stay locked down wearing a mask indefinitely? Get the fuck over it. This is an airborne virus, that means every single person is going to get it, and you can't stop it. This also means that covid restrictions do nothing but slow the virus. It has already been successfully treated with 3 different antiviral drugs. Your caution would be justified if the virus didn't have a cure, but at this point you're just making noise for no reason.

    This is assuming the virus exists in the first place, mind you.

    Genius.

    It's not a black/white argument. Some countries are managing this much better than others. Look at the success rates in certain countries. It's well known: arrange for masks, social distancing, testing, quarentine where necessary, and repeat. In countries where this is not managed - as in the US because of anti-mask MAGAtards - the problems are much worse than in other countries. Another country that failed at this is Sweden.

      What makes you think COVID is a scam? (I have questions about its origin, but it is no scam.) This seems rather convincing:

        [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

        It is perhaps awarding too much credit to the organizers of a scam that would have this kind of impact on 59 million+ people.

        That said, Jeff Bezos will be $70 billion richer, while most of his employees are struggling to pay rent and deal with their own illnesses (20,000 estimated COVID cases at Amazon). Whatever the cause of COVID19, Amazon and Alibaba are among the main beneficiaries, as are the 1%, whereas the 99% are fighting over scientific facts. Yes, there is definitely a conspiracy to produce the latter discontent, run by a corrupt few who manipulate much of the news media and social media.

        Countries with no restrictions report the same numbers as the US

        We can always live underground until the virus dies out.

        You can probably tell that I created it merely to argue with strangers. (I should get a life.)

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

        NO! When someone on the internet is wrong you have a duty, a sacred duty, a bigly duty, a righteous duty, a massive duty to correct them.

        So say we all.

        duty hehehe

        Honestly, this whole 'rona situation is so backwards. If people are truly freaked out, they can be the ones staying home cowering in a corner. Meanwhile, all the sane people can be left to go about their day.

        Indeed - science is bad because it's not easy to understand (for some people). And those who wear masks are not doing this because they care about other people, not spraeding the virus, trying to speed the reopening of the economy, &c, but because they are fearful, obedient idiots. OK - so let's not believe in science, or in masks (and the health of ourselves and others), and live like they did during the black plague.

        Although it sounds more like feminist propaganda, I do like the Sybil one.

            You're not very clever. But, I empathize with you. I'm sorry you have a hard time coming to terms with what happened. Now is not the time though to be acting out those events here. I don't blame you, nor should you blame yourself any more.

              At least we're getting somewhere. It's ok to feel that way too...It means we're getting close. Those feelings bound up inside you. It's getting time to confront them..slowly one emotion at a time. Identify them and why they make you feel the way you do. You're older now, and you can handle it. I believe in you. I know deep down you don't want to be this way anymore.

              Stop projecting these internalized negative emotions on others here, and go within yourself instead. Catharsis... take responsibility for your happiness or lack of, realize you yourself own them..then release them. Breathe through it.

              What you could of been, what you could be. It's up to you, be the better person you truly desire, friend. It's in your hands.

              My brother is in that cage. He is scared absolutely shitless and he has some people brainwashing it and blowing corona out of proportion; even more so than the press.

              Living in another city he emailed me this morning telling me he needs me to send him shaving blades and vests because he can't go out due to the high number of corona patients. I was like WTF? Anyway Im gonna tell him he needs to give Bezos some more money because the logistics of sending him said items will not be viable or efficient for me.

              For $10 on eBay you can buy 100 blades. He can go find his own fucking vests tho. A man needs to shave but a man doesn't need to wear a sweater vest.

              Its not even about the money, it is that 1) he could go and buy those from some shop and be done with it (and also see the sun in the process for once) or 2) fucking order that shit from the internet.
