Stupid shit in Medellin

[Elvis 2008]

Great interview. Espec the latter half. Elvis will love it.

JustTK,

I finally got to finish watching it. I admire this doctor's courage. It looks like he is up to date on things even mentioned he was wrong.

I will say what has been shocking to me here lately has how many people still think they need to get vaccinated if they have natural immunity. This doctor did not touch on that in his very rational discussion of who should get vaccinated and who should not.

If you have had Covid and have antibodies, you should not get vaccinated. I do not even know why this is a thing. So while I like his menu, that should be the first qualifier and he did not mention that.

Thing with this lunatic Huacho is he is saying that if you are unvaccinated you are an asshole. The CDC estimates that half the country has had Covid and it is growing by the day. Huacho has sucked down so much libtard paranoia he thinks natural immunity does not count. I hope he does not believe me because I rather like the idea of him staying in a bunker.

To me, the pandemic is over, and it is time to start to rationally call out who got it right and who got it wrong and what we do next.

If you get a chance, watch or listen to this: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0aZte37vtFTkYT7b0b04Qz.

I actually like him better than Dr. Malone but both are fantastic. These guys really, really know their stuff, and these people have put their asses on the line and IMO have been more right than anyone.

I have not heard anyone explain treatment better than Dr. Malone, and I think the reason he is controversial is that he demystifies the paranoia around Covid.

A fake card would have to work twice, once at airport check and again at Colombia passport control. Your home country could impose a stiff fine and a place of shame on the no fly list. Pass the popcorn and let's watch the show. Some may have heard the breaking news about recently deported tennis pro Djokovic. He is banned from entering Australia for three years.

What's your favorite? I really like the sweet and salty kettle corn, but the cheese flavored is good too. Bonus! Colombianas love popcorn.

The best part of the show will be when they all start crying about being stuck at home.

[JjBee62]

You mean 'continually,' not 'continuously.'

No, I actually meant continuously, incessantly, without pause, rather than repetitively.

[Elvis 2008]

Whereas you are completely and demonstrably innumerate and can't even do basic arithmetic, as has been shown umpteen times on this thread. Hey Elvis, real quick, what's 8 times 7?

Yeah, I do not do Democratic math. 1.5 % death rate from Covid? LOL.

Here is more Democratic math: https://nypost.com/2021/09/17/bill-m...-19-reporting/.

"The question was, 'What do you think the chances are that you would have to go to the hospital if you got COVID?' And Democrats thought that was, way higher than Republicans," Maher said. "The answer is between 1 percent and 5 percent. "

He said 41 percent of Democrats thought it was over 50 percent, while 28 percent thought it was between 20 percent and 49 percent of patients ending up in the hospital.

"Seventy percent of Democrats thought it was way, way, way higher than it really was," Maher added. "Liberal media has to take a little responsibility for that. For scaring the s out of people."

And that was before omicron.

You know Haucho maybe you can save some money and bunker up with Paulie or maybe not. The two of you might feed off each other and turn into even worse paranoid preppers than you already are.

[JjBee62]

LOL. Facts Gene? Where the hell were you when JJBee had an embolic event and no anticoagulants were given?

And JJBee is still arguing for the vaccine. So tell me doctor, is it well known that the vaccine causes embolic events as well?

And maybe you can tell me why the vaccine is being mandated on people with prior infection seeing as how you know all about the standard of care especially those with prior embolic events.

Or maybe you can just keep kissing the government's ass while it artificially inflates Covid numbers and ignore all the mayhem the vaccines are causing.

Where were you when I had an embolic event? Where was I? It amazes me how you continue to claim to know more about my health than I, or any of my doctors? For example, how do you know no anticoagulant was given?

Since you're the world's foremost expert on my health, tell me what the neurologist initially concluded after reviewing my MRI. Then you can tell us what revisions he made after my follow up appointment. Let's hear it.

No?

Let's move on to the vaccine causing embolic events. Primarily, that would be the AstraZeneca vaccine, and the numbers are truly horrifying.

As of November 427 recipients of the AstraZeneca vaccine had developed blood clots. That's 427 instances out of over 25 million doses. Almost all of the reported events were in women aged 50 or younger.

Since I'm not a woman, not aged 50 or younger and didn't receive either the AstraZeneca or the J&J vaccine, the embolic event I didn't have, if it existed anywhere outside of your feeble mind, probably couldn't have been blamed on any vaccine. Add in that almost all of the potentially vaccine induced embolic events occurred within 2 weeks of vaccination, and your idiotic assumption becomes even more idiotic.

[Elvis 2008]

I also posted here before that I don't care if the vaccine is effective or not (it is a valid intervention), or who makes a profit from it, or any other theoretical ulterior motives. Unless you are some fringe conspiracy theorist who believes the vaccine does more harm than good, then for the purposes of this board, it doesn't' matter. I am here to fuck, lick and get sucked, and maybe spread a little love while doing it. I've had two vaccine shots and a booster. Before that, I went to a Covid party very early on in this morass and intentionally got infected, and it worked. Right now I am the prototype for the most immune you can possibly be to Covid and its variants.

You are smug as hell and then you make two bird brained decisions. Why did you purposely get infected with a more virulent strain of Covid early on and then claimed "it worked"? Your getting sick is something to brag about? And why would you be dumb enough to get vaccinated 3 X after you have natural immunity?

And you worked for an insurance company that sold insurance and thinks that makes your opinion somehow better? Unreal. You should have read this thread and listened a little more.

[MarquisdeSade1]

So Gene, the problem was we did not pay Moderna and Pfizer enough money for the vaccines?

And Gene, if the vaccines were so fucking great, why were there 50% more deaths in 2021 than 2020 in the USA?

[Huacho]

JJBee does all these math calculations

Whereas you are completely and demonstrably innumerate and can't even do basic arithmetic, as has been shown umpteen times on this thread. Hey Elvis, real quick, what's 8 times 7?

[Villainy]

COVID is a widespread, airborne virus that causes death in less than half a percent of those who contract it. .

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

5,557,737 Deaths out of 328,774,268 CoVid cases is: 1.69% Or more than 3 times the number you are using.

[Huacho]

Roughly 1.3 million people die in auto accidents (automobile, motor cyclists, and people hit by them) every year. 3,287 per day. This can easily be tripled since the majority of the people on the planet do not own a vehicle or a motor cycle which means that there are 3. 9 million people each year or 9,861 per day dying. So what I am trying to say is that all you COVID nuts should start worrying about dodging cars and motor cycles like Frogger. So just JUMP!

And if I want to avoid most of that, I can walk. But I can't avoid unvaccinated assholes travelling and infecting people. That's the difference. I don't have to go a lot of places but I have to go to the grocery store and you unvaccinated and / or unmasked assholes increase my risk. I get that since you're assholes, you don't understand and / or don't care. You're still a bunch of selfish, ignorant, poorly educated assholes.

[Huacho]

I don't expect you to understand that, because you continuously demonstrate you lack the capacity to understand anything.

You mean 'continually,' not 'continuously.'

I don't think many of them will get vaccinated to get into Colombia. They'll use a fake card. Even after someone gets caught, they'll continue to use fake cards.

[Osteoknot]

Wow, you guys have really been going at it over in Stupid Shit about Covid. I will interject and say this one time and not debate anyone on it. First off, Ego. I was the first person on this board to call the vaccination cards the "new passport" for international travel, over a year ago. I am not going to look it up, I will leave that to someone else if they wish. That was not a stroke of brilliance, but I happened to be the first one to say it here. Most of the people making the arguments about Covid here, pro or con, are not qualified to do so. You can be very intelligent and still be ignorant. You don't know what you don't know.

Do I have a right to rant? Perhaps. I used to sit in the Chief Executive Suite of an international Fortune 50 company that sold health insurance. That was the last five years of my working career before I retired, relatively young. We had millions of covered lives. We had to decide what to pay for and what not to pay for. Yes, there is bias because health insurance in the USA is capitalistic, but guess what? Healthy people cost less than sick people and insurance companies want you to stay healthy. And vaccinations are the classic population health intervention, and trust me, there is not enough of a short term, direct profit margin there to justify a vaccination program that doesn't work. Don't talk to me about orphan diseases and drugs that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per dose. That is a separate subject.

In fact don't talk to me at all about this, I will not respond. I would ask the moderators if there happens to be any responses to this post, please put them it in Stupid Shit where they belong. You can put this post wherever you want, I will not be offended.

I also posted here before that I don't care if the vaccine is effective or not (it is a valid intervention), or who makes a profit from it, or any other theoretical ulterior motives. Unless you are some fringe conspiracy theorist who believes the vaccine does more harm than good, then for the purposes of this board, it doesn't' matter. I am here to fuck, lick and get sucked, and maybe spread a little love while doing it. I've had two vaccine shots and a booster. Before that, I went to a Covid party very early on in this morass and intentionally got infected, and it worked. Right now I am the prototype for the most immune you can possibly be to Covid and its variants.

Woo Hoo. I don't care what you decide to do other than the theoretical risk of harming others by not being vaccinated, but I believe that is a wash by now, it doesn't matter. That train has left the station. I made my choice solely based on my desire to come and go to Medellin and travel internationally as freely as possible. So far so good. I survived the infection, and I get to ignore all the bull shit surrounding the virus. If you chose differently and now you can't cross borders as you please, I respect your choice but stop whining about it. You made your bed, now lay in it.

Finally, I am also on record (not here) in the very beginning of this shit show for saying we should have done absolutely nothing to intervene for this virus, based on early data about the mortality and attack rates. The outcome would have been much better by doing nothing than the prolonged infectious phase we are dealing with now. A major flu epidemic happens every century or less and it culls the herd. The main difference now is this is the first one since the Internet got invented, so like assholes, everybody has an opinion they can put out there on the World Wide Web. University of Google graduates are prone to faulty thinking processes from too much unfiltered information.

As far as what topics deserve to be discussed here, last time I checked the only opinions that count on that are the owners and administrators / moderators of this Web site. Any one else's opinion on what should or should not be discussed here doesn't mean jack shit. I find it credible and amazing that this Web site tolerates our Stupid Shit, and the name of that thread should tell you something. Osteeeeee Oouuuuut.

[Lou32]

I'm sorry you're unable to understand. It's quite simple.

Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy is a class of communicable disease which is incurable and 100% fatal. It's the deadliest disease, by Case Fatality Ratio (CFR) known. Yet, you've probably never heard of it. The reason is because there are only a small number of cases each it's not worse than COVID because it only affects less than 10,000 people per year, worldwide. Compare that to 35,000 new cases of Covid yesterday just in Colombia.

Now look at Ebola. In 20#0 and 2021 there were 141 cases of Ebola with 61 deaths. Over the same period there were over 300 million cases of Covid with more than 5 million deaths.

There's no doubt Ebola is a terrible disease if you get it, but unless you live or work in the areas in Africa where it has shown up, your chances of getting infected are just about zero. There is also no asymptomatic transmission of Ebola. Unless you're actually sick with Ebola, in which case you wouldn't consider inviting girls over, you aren't going to infect another person. That's one of the reasons keeping Ebola from becoming a pandemic.

Nobody chooses to get Ebola, AIDS or Covid. So making the argument that someone would choose one over another is silly. It comes down to risk. Unless you want to go mongering in the middle of an Ebola outbreak your chance of getting and passing on Ebola is zero. Unless you're an IV drug user, sharing needles, or you're giving and receiving unprotected anal sex your risk of getting or giving AIDS is almost zero.

Your risk of getting infected with Covid is perhaps 20% or more, with possibly the same chance of passing it on to any girls you see.

Do you understand now? You can avoid Ebola by staying out of the areas of Africa where there is an Ebola outbreak. You can avoid AIDS by not being an IV drug user, or by always using a clean needle and by not letting a bunch of men fuck you in the ass without using condoms. You can completely avoid those 2 diseases by doing absolutely nothing. No mask, vaccine or social distancing required. How do you avoid Covid?

Regarding the ladies, that's your decision. Well, assuming you have already decided not to inform the hotel or apartment management that you tested positive and are complying with the legally required quarantine, it's your choice.

If you inform the hotel you're possibly not going to have the option to invite girls over. The hotel probably won't let them in. If one of them manages to get in, you might end up finishing your quarantine and then getting escorted to the airport to end your last visit to Colombia.

There are plenty of ways to look at it. The easiest way is to decide you wouldn't knowingly put another person at risk, once you know you're infected. That one is simple and avoids any other issues.

At the other end of the spectrum is that you would rather risk being banned from Colombia l, than go 10-14 days without getting laid.

No, I understood the first time. And I don't remember writing about not informing the hotel. Where did I write that?

The argument that is somehow trying to be made here is that SARS-CoV-2 is is a far more lethal virus than Ebola which is ridiculous.

If I had Ebola and rang up the Colombian health authorities to tell them that I can fucking guarantee you that it would trigger a massive emergency response with military coming to my location to roadblock the streets around my building and to isolate EVERYONE who I may have come in contact with.

It would make international news. It would be a huge problem, mostly for me since I would probably be dead in 72 hours.

COVID is a widespread, airborne virus that causes death in less than half a percent of those who contract it. So far it is LESS deadly than the 1918 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic.

As I wrote before you wouldn't choose Ebola over COVID and neither would anyone else. No one chooses their diseases but we all acknowledge the truly dangerous from the dangerous only if a series of circumstances happen to line up in a way for bad luck to occur. Again, please show me the stats regarding women under 30 dying of COVID.

You know COVID is highly survivable and the death toll is due to it affecting 1 billion humans and NOT killing 995,000,000 million of them.

I've made several trips to Colombia since late 2019 and I'm not dead or have gotten sick and neither have any of the young ladies whom I've kept company with (I would have gotten plenty of RFM if that had happened, believe me).

If you can point out the Colombian law that says "if you test positive for COVID-19 you must not be in physical contact with another human being or else you will be permanently banned from Colombia" that would be helpful (direct link please to a Colombian government webpage).

I haven't heard of any American "escorted to the airport" for inviting a woman to his apartment but I suppose it must be happening all the time in Medellin since COVID is everywhere, gringos are everywhere and the authorities are monitoring everyone very closely. Surely there must be hundreds of examples of men being frog marched out of the country because the PCR Test said "Positive" and the Paisas have been dropping like flies from the COVID that they have been forced to contract from the gringos.

[Elvis 2008]

Those like you deserve any and everything you get for you have stood as a barrier ensuring the endemicity of this thing when if all got vaxed within a timeframe this could have been extinguished. You are ignorant and unworthy of a debate.

So Gene, the problem was we did not pay Moderna and Pfizer enough money for the vaccines?

And Gene, if the vaccines were so fucking great, why were there 50% more deaths in 2021 than 2020 in the USA?
