The lefties are already doing internet archeology to find racist comments he made in 1976! No forgiveness evar!

He's vaccinated. But he doesn't think you should be.

Sounds like Trump.

You obviously don't know the whole story:

No; He doesn't think it should be mandatory.

Indeed.

Anyone know if he didn't want black people in the venue where he played? I didn't know this, but it's on Twitter, so of course it must be true, right?

Because they are uncivilized heathen, largely.

[deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

Seems rather uncivilized and non-Christian "to perform the sexual act of eating leftover food from someone’s butthole," as defined by the urban dictionary.

Of course, those living in Tel Aviv don't have that experience of living in a "multicultural and enriched society", so there are certain things they can't understand.

If people want to think covid is fake then let them, there's lots of room for them

[deleted] 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun 2 years ago

Its not fake but ita not dangerous either. The average age of death for covid is 80. For the Spanish flu it was 28. This is not a pandemic.

Jesus 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun 2 years ago

I know a friend of a relative who died from the Pfizer vaccine. She had a 99.75% chance of surviving covid.

radicalcentrist 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

This is not a pandemic.

Entire businesses, schools, public transit, the Olympics and even vital meat processing plants have all been shut down or disrupted because of Covid outbreaks.

Of course it's a fucking pandemic. You never saw any of this stuff before 2020.

[deleted] 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun 2 years ago

The closures werent caused by covid they were caused by government. Over half of the people who got covid never even knew they had it. Such a massive pandemic that the walmart never closed but fuck you if you're a mom and pop store YOU have to close and lose everything because the waltons need a 10th yacht.

radicalcentrist 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

The government already operates most of those public facilities I mentioned, so having to shut them down when it loses them money doesn't make sense if there wasn't a deadly virus going around.

The most egregious example being the Olympics. Japan was forced to delay the games by a year, and even today, they still wont make their money back since spectators are banned.

Walmart was still affected. Even though it's true stores did not close completely, they were still forced to implement indoor customer limits, as well as ban the sale of non-essential items.

Also consider the size and scale of a Walmart vs Mom & Pop store. Walmart has wider aisles and better ventilation systems, although I would support taxing Walmart more and sharing the revenue with other hard hit businesses.

fschmidt 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun 2 years ago

So just get vaccinated, preferably 100 times.

radicalcentrist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun 2 years ago

Oh I did. But this pandemic is a group effort and not an individual one.

Unvaccinated people are making the lives of doctors/nurses more rough, since they're the ones occupying hospital beds that could go towards other patients instead.

Like take this dumbass who said he rather get sick again than be vaccinated.

At some point, society needs to recognize these people are too stupid for their own safety. It's like how we have to give helmets to retarded people.

JasonCarswellMental Orgy 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun 2 years ago

because of Covid outbreaks.

IFIFY:
because of COVID being used as an excuse for tyranny.

radicalcentrist 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

It's honestly not a good one.

It's a virus that affects everyone, rich or poor. Every society would have been better off hitting the emergency breaks, instead of trying to claim it was a "just a flu".

Yin 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

That's not why.

Covid itself didn't do shit.

Political agenda drumming up fake hysteria (as planned) caused that.

https://twitter.com/MillerStream/status/1338203809114296321

The excess death rate is on target to be within a normal range 2020 and 2021. It is literally not much worse than a bad flu depending on the density of the region in terms of quantifying covid itself and that's with their faulty inflated "covid death" stats.

It's a fucking pandemic in your idiotic brain. Your illogical mental illness is also the reason people are wearing cloth and paper diapers on their faces which don't stop the virus particles: theater, hysteria, propaganda.

Seek help.

The Tokyo Olympics had to be pushed back by an entire year because of Covid, and even with the games officially starting tomorrow, several athletes have caught the virus and can't leave their hotels.

If you really believe Japan would go through the effort to fake something like this, while being projected to lose more than $10 Billion in money they'll never get back, you're too far gone.

Brewdabier 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

Well since you have a PhD,Master's degrees and know better then that's different.

And I can turn lead into gold.

Education has become meaningless when it ignores common sense. I know a guy with a phd who loves to go on about "believing science" like its a fucking religion and nevermind that the scientific method is to question everything and base your results on the observable (not feelings).

Jesus 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun 2 years ago

Gold has intrinsic value said idiots bankers.

RedEyedWarrior 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

And most people who died from it would have died from the common flu anyway.

Jesus 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun 2 years ago

That's not the point.

mahavishnunj 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 2 years ago

this is a good thing, and the usual saidit morons are doing typical saidit shit. great stuff.
