The Stupid And Scared Among Us

"If they end the passports, I won't be going to restaurants' one person Tweeted.

Makes me wonder for how long  people can remain stupid.

It's quite shocking this level of ignorance. And wholly unacceptable.

It's simple.

Here's how to disarm a stupid, scared person among us who squawks about how necessary mandates and measures:

1) These are 'leaky' non-sterilizing vaccines. They are not sterilizing vaccines like for measles. That's is they wane and encourage immune escape and creation of variants due to pressure applied on the virus. Stop bloody conflating the two. Experts who deliberately fail to explain this distinction should be ashamed of themselves. 

2) They do not halt transmission. They were NEVER designed to stop the spread. Thus making the claim 'get vaccinated end the pandemic' one of the all-time great lies. One in which graduated into malfeasance as it divided society. People became hostile to the unvaccinated incorrectly blaming them for preventing them from 'getting back to normal'. No, what stopped us from getting back to normal was blind obedience to incompetent officials who, it turns out, don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

3) Vaccinated people transmit the virus just as much as unvaccinated. Worse, sometimes asymptomatically because the vaccine does hide symptoms. Just who is the threat again?

4) Do the vaccines work or not? If you believe they do (myths persist but to each his own) then what's the problem? You're protected.

5) The vaccines wane. The shelf life of these low quality products is about six months with efficacy beginning its drop within two months. The booster can provide protection for up to four months. Meaning, again like the first shots, you probably have 'maximum' protection within two months. Regardless, natural immunity in the end provides the best kind of immunity. Fact.

So for the dumbasses who after two years still can't see the measures are futile and have frayed the civil order and continue to listen to discredited and disgraced officials and experts who have lost credibility, stay home indeed.

Let the rest of us get on with it.

You can play with your passport at home.
