Seeing as how you follow science, if I asked you what the two biggest killers health wise in America you would likely say heart disease and cancer, and that is factually correct. Based on my experience, it is not. What I wrote is the two biggest killers are arrogance and denial, and you have both in spades.
How many times did I hear Rush Limbaugh go off on anti-tobacco people? And what did he die of? Scientifically, he died from lung cancer from smoking. In reality, he died of arrogance. And you know what separates you from Rush Limbaugh on this arrogance issue, JJBee? Not a damned thing.
You go from the USA where we at a 12, 14 month low in cases to Colombia which is hitting all time highs with cases. Typically, it takes five days from exposure to disease and then you are like, "Gee, duh, I do not where I got it from. Maybe it was from a toilet seat at a Florida airport. "
And then there is the karma aspect. Elvirus huh? Real fucking funny now isn't it?
In summary, you go to Colombia as a walking Petri dish, think you are safe because you read a study about vaccines, have no fucking clue what at risk activity is, and not only got the disease but bragged about only infecting one other person. Shaking my head.
And you think you are helping people with Covid telling your story? Uh no, you are a fucking poster child for the antivax movement. You put politics above everything else. Hell, you even called out Republicans being stupid and their conspiracy theories when you first got sick. Maybe you should worry about your own health before anyone else's huh? Yeah, I think that would be smart, but in your own mind, you have a higher IQ so that cannot be.
Last I checked 750 people who had the vaccine died of Covid and 4000+ have been hospitalized.
In the USA, given where we are with herd immunity and the side effects of the vaccine, it is not appropriate for you or anyone else to call people stupid for not getting the vaccine. In my opinion, that is a decision that someone should make after being educated on all aspects of everything or seeing their doctor, but you Democratic douches think you know best for everyone.
As to why, Fauci et al think everyone should get vaccinated as that is following the "science", but it is not. For me, there are at least three scenarios about who should or should not get the vaccine: A 70 year old with diabetes? Fuck yes, he should get the vaccine. A 40 year old in good health? Maybe. If he is going to Colombia, he sure as hell should. A 15 year boy in good health? Fuck no, there have been too many cases of pericarditis associated with the vaccine.
I don't care how much MSNBC you watch. No one here is qualified to make generalized health care decisions for other people and especially not you.

Just as you pointed out, there are people who ignore 99% of the available data and focus on the exceptions as if the only thing that matters is the exception.
Vaccination reduces the spread of the virus. We know that. It's a point which is no more debatable than whether or not the earth is flat. That doesn't mean vaccination is a guarantee against infection. It doesn't mean vaccination will prevent you from infecting others. It means, if you take 2 groups of people, with 100,000 people in each group, with everyone in one group being vaccinated, everyone in the other group being unvaccinated, you'll see a undeniable trend. Expose each group equally to the virus and more people in the unvaccinated group will become infected, more will require hospitalization and more will die.
Whether anyone here chooses to get vaccinated, I don't really care. It's unlikely I'm going to suffer from their decision. However, all I've seen from the people arguing against getting vaccinated is "because I don't want to. " Everything else is just childish rationalization. At least have the balls to admit it.
Oh, it's because you don't want to help the pharmaceutical companies make a profit? How many pills have you taken in your lifetime? I'll start believing you when you start preaching about the benefits of an organic, vegan diet. Otherwise, every time you pop that little blue pill, you're proving how full of shit you are.
You don't want to get into the cycle of having to take another vaccine later? Maybe I missed your social media campaigns against annual flu shots, tetanus booster shots, required TB testing prior to being prescribed certain medication, regularly scheduled dental exams, annual physical exams, eye exams, driver's license renewals, etc. Guess what. We don't live in a world where every solution is one and done. Using that logic cancer patients shouldn't bother with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatments, because they're going to be going back every 3 months for the next five years to make sure they're still cancer free.
Which leaves us with it's your personal decision. Which is true. Nobody is forcing you to get the vaccine. However, your decisions often affect others, and you can't go back and choose differently once your nose is rubbed in the consequences.
Dozens of examples come to mind, but I'll just give one.
A little over 30 years ago I worked for a big towing company in San Diego. If your car was impounded in San Diego from 1989 to 1991, I was probably someway involved. Sorry.
One Sunday morning I was hanging around the office when the "lawyer" showed up to get his car. CHP had taken him to jail the night before and had us tow his car. He had a lot to say. He was going to sue the CHP. They had no right to arrest him. He was going to sue the towing company. His BMW was brand new and there better not be a scratch on it. He was going to sue me for refusing to bring him his car.
To prevent being sued, I told him I would take him to his car. While his BMW might have been brand new 24 hours earlier, by the time he was arrested it had undergone significant depreciation. The front bumper was almost completely torn off, one of the front wheels was horizontal instead of vertical and there was damage all over the car, from all the things he hit between the time he blacked out and finally came to a stop, buried in iceplant. To top it off he had puked all over the driver's door, inside and out. You could smell the alcohol from 20 feet away.
He had plenty to say, until we got about 20 feet away. At that point he could no longer maintain the fantasy that everyone else was to blame. He walked once around the car, head hung down, in silence. Then he walked out the gate and walked off down the street. A few days later his insurance company had us tow the car to a body shop.
As I've said, I don't care what anyone does. If they find themselves in the situation where their favorite chica is devastated because her mother died from Covid, or when they find out their brother had to spend 10 days quarantined in a foreign country, they will deal with it in their own way.
One final thought and I'm done. For more than a year we've seen lots of stories about people who refused to wear masks, refused to socially distance and refused to get vaccinated and then later found themselves severely ill, or dying from Covid. Almost every time the person expressed regret that they didn't take it seriously. I've yet to see anything from anyone who says they wish they hadn't taken the disease seriously, instead of doing everything they could to keep from becoming a casualty.

Posts: 5486Remember when Medellin Reports was for Medellin Reports?
Pepperidge Farms Remembers.
Remember when people wrote about places to stay, places to visit and places to eat? Remember when people discussed girls, services and prices? Remember when people reported on their experiences in Medellin? Apparently I'm too fucking old, because I yearn for those good old days.
I wrote about getting Covid and having to quarantine, because I got Covid and had to quarantine, and because it's highly likely that other members of the forum might find themselves in the same predicament. I didn't write about it so a dozen people who know less about science than I know about the housing market in ancient Mesopotamia, could spend all their time praising themselves and insulting everyone else. For the few who actually are knowledgeable on the subject, I understand your pain and appreciate your restraint to keep from engaging in all the silliness.
If any of the admins are still alive, I have a suggestion:
The Dunning-Kruger Effect Ban. Ban anyone who invokes the Dunning-Kruger Effect (DKE) as part of any discussion outside of the Stupid Shit threads. There are 2 reasons why this needs to be done. The first is that nearly every time, on any medium, someone claims another is exhibiting DKE, they are at least as guilty. The other reason is simple, it's an ad hominem attack. It's not a refutation of any claims made by another, it's simply "you're stupid", by someone who is unable to mount an effective rebuttal.
To anyone who says that it's impossible to eliminate a virus through vaccination, I have one word for you: Poliomyelitis. Do I believe the currently available vaccines are going to be as effective against Covid? No. There are already too many variants and there are too many people who would much rather listen to anyone yelling conspiracy theories.
The current vaccines are no different than the other steps which were taken (abandoned, reinstated, fought over, etc) last year. They're an attempt to get ahead of the pandemic, get some breathing room and find a better, more permanent solution.
There are 2 approaches to anything which is potentially dangerous. The first is to ignore the risks, ignore the data and continue on until the dangers become too expensive to ignore. The advantage to this approach is that you can maximize profits and later hope the powers that be limit your liability. Mercury, asbestos, tobacco, oxycontin, there are countless examples. The dangers were well known long before any attempts to regulation or protection, but between life and profit, profit always wins.
The other approach is to treat whatever it is as if it might blow up in your face at any moment. Using Covid as an example, that means, until we knew better, we said, disinfect surfaces, avoid touching potentially contaminated surfaces, wash hands, wear gloves. Once we learned that's an unlikely source of infection, we updated our approach and focused on other areas.
If you don't want to get vaccinated, don't get vaccinated. Frankly, at this point I don't give a fuck. Just as I don't give a fuck if you're driving and playing on your phone. If there are consequences to your choice, you'll just need to put on your big boy panties and deal with them.
If you're only here to talk about Covid (except as it specifically relates to mongering in Medellin), do us all a favor and go the fuck away until you have something that pertains to mongering in Medellin to write about.

I am not surprised you are that guy who when he orders Rappi, that no one gets his "special order" right and you have to constantly struggle with returns and refunds. That is something I have never experienced once in my life, although I have used Rappi a lot. By your own admission, that is your routine. What kind of off-kilter tourist obsesses on food delivery orders in a foreign country? That speaks volumes about your personality. And anyone who tries to list their IQ by number in a public forum automatically gets a 25 point deduction, thems the rules, jajajaa.
You may have the last word if you wish, I will not debate this issue with someone who has taken up membership in the The Flat Earth Society. And I won't see your response as I have added you to my Ignore List.
Face it, you see yourself as better and above the rest where the standard rules don't apply. I'm thinking that probably has not worked out well for you in life so far, in your house of cards. If you weren't putting others at risk with your nonsense, then no one would care. I think that is what is troubling you, no one caring, and for that I am empathetic for you.

Again, another that likes to insult bcos they THINK they have knowledge. So show me your knowledge. Show me proof that the virus was already raging when Delta occurred. Please! As far as I can see, Delta was detected in Oct 2020 - way before India "raged" (https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-wha...ant/a-57949754). So please. Come on. Hit me with it. Give me your best evidence.

I don't know how much math did you study at school, so I will keep it simple. There is a probability P that a virus mutates during replication. There is a probability Q that the mutation favours the virus and thus is transmitted to newer generations (Darwin teaches). Both probabilities are very small. The number of mutations that emerge is thus P*Q*N, where N is the number of virus replications.
In other words, the more replications, the more mutations.
==> In a country were there are more infections, there are more virus replications happening ==> there are more mutations emerging.

You want the virus to disappear. We all do. Your government misleads you in to thinking that is the end game, but there is no logic in that.
"I predict. " - yeah you predict, just like your government predicts. Based on what exactly? Your warm cozy hopes for the future, that is all. Your comments about Brazil and India are also arse about face. The variants didn't emerge where the virus raged. The virus raged bcos THAT IS where the variants emerged! Dios mio! . And so it will go on.
I get that you want to have faith, but that is all it is, I am sorry to say. Show me some facts and I will listen. Until then all evidence shows the virus mutates and causes hot spots and deaths. Already the big pharmas are developing booster shots to vaccines that haven't even been rolled out yet except in the super rich countries.
And your comment about only vaccinated people should be allowed on planes. There are huge flaws in that idea too. Vaccinated people can and do spread the virus from country to country. Thats why countries like USA still require tests from vaccinated people on arrival. Secondly, people can be clean without the vaccine. Tests can be as effective as the vax. Thirdly, people scan have recovered and are just as safe as vaxxed people. The Eurozone already support this reality. Check out their arrivals procedures for proof. They accept. Vaccinated people, people that have ceritificates of recovery, people with recent negavtive test results. There is no favouritism. They are all equally valid. That seems like quite a sensible policy to me in the current climate. Bcos it is astute and allows people to get on with their lives. In the reality that we have to live with this.
Again, I am not a dumb headstrong person that beleives in wild conspiracies. Quite the contrary. If you think I am then point to some evidence and I will analyse it.
