Not only that but the ACA rating system for plans is completely useless because the insurance companies invent brand new plans every single year so none of them ever have any kind of rating.

Meanwhile your grandparents were golfing at 65 and are living comfortably on their reverse mortgages up to 95 years old.

Wondering if a mask would protect you from COVID-19? CDC does not currently recommend the general American public use a facemask to protect against novel coronavirus. Only healthcare professionals caring for COVID-19 patients, people who are sick with COVID-19, or in some cases people caring for patients who are sick with COVID-19 need precautions like a facemask to help limit their risk of spreading COVID-19.

CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions, like staying home when you are sick and washing hands with soap and water, to help prevent the spread of respiratory illness.

This literally says exactly what I just did. Wearing a mask will not protect you from getting covid or any other disease but it can protect other people from catching it from you by stopping you from spreading it.

P.S. and yes, at the time healthcare professionals needed the masks desperately so that they could administer to patients without the fear of spreading the disease all over the place if they caught it because COVID has such a long incubation period that overlaps significantly with its shedding phase.

Early on in the COVID pandemic, the CDC told the public that masks weren’t important for stopping the spread, when they knew this to be false.

This is why. It’s not true. This is not what they said. At all. They said what I outlined above.

What you said here is what has been distorted by conservative media in the smear campaign against Fauci. A man we owe a great debt too and yet he continues to get threats and hate because of the absolute distortion of what he was saying and doing during the pandemic. All in an effort to shift the blame for how bad things got away from the great orange dipshit who bungled every aspect of our response to the disease when it hit the world.

Our fuckery with other countries is well documented. Right now we’re talking about the things that our government tells us. Quite frankly, if one wanted to make a decent argument about our government lying to us they should point to Snowden. He is a much better example than the covid conspiracy theory garbage that OP has spewed forth.

The CDC said that masks would not be very effective at preventing you from getting the disease if you don’t already have it. They are however extremely effective at preventing you from spreading it if you are already infected.

THAT is the difference.

Yes, masks (not just N95 masks either) were indeed in short supply when the pandemic hit and the morons were buying them up like hot cakes in an effort to be “protected” from getting the virus. Except even if you are wearing a mask the virus can get in your eyes or get on your skin and get wiped on you nose, mouth, and eyes and you can get it. The only way to prevent the spread is for those who are infected to stop spreading the disease and masks are extremely effective at that.

Fauci and the CDC didn’t lie, they were trying to stop idiots from hoarding masks that were in desperate need in hospitals and immediate care facilities. They just underestimate how unfathomably dumb you all are.

If it is then it’s not working well enough.

This is what I would like to know as well.

normally

There has been nothing normal about our elective process since the summer of 2015. And it’s only getting more fucked up across the board.

Well, I stand corrected. You are, indeed, a tankie.

In that case, get fucked. Governments murdering its citizens, or anyone for that matter, for any reason whatsoever is not okay.

a tankie like me

I’m not sure you understand exactly what a tankie is. I mean, do you really think it’s all right to sacrifice (I.E. straight up murder) people to the ideals of communism and socialism?

Being ultra liberal is fine IMO, even having the attitude that we might have to have use violence to overthrow of our government in order to get liberal ideals to be a part of our system is somewhat okay. But to think that our government, should it become communist, should be allowed to kill people in order to maintain a socialist or communist society is just straight up wrong and as far as I know that’s what a tankie is, someone who thinks that Tiananmen Square and Stalin’s reign of terror was just a necessary evil in order to strengthen the communist societal norm.

I’m thinking the same of people like you who wish death and destruction against people who are under the same marginalization as you are.

Except the difference is I’m not voting for it. They actively choose to vote for the marginalization. They’re happy to be slaves to their corporate masters.

And yeah, I do a hoop and a holler every damn time somebody dies a fucking covid when their Facebook page and every bit of social media they’re on is telling everybody in the universe how much they won’t use PPE or get vaccinated and will vote for politicians who tell everyone that the covid vaccine is some kind of poison.

I sing a song of praise to all the karma in the universe when one of these fucktards who thinks that global warming is a fucking conspiracy to push everyone into green energy for profit somehow dies of heat stroke or freezes to death because global warming is turning our climate pair shaped.

And I jump for fucking joy when a shitty old person who has consistently voted for a republican who has, yet again, gutted medicare and social security cries about being left in the cold with no money and no medical care. Cause FUCK every single one of them. They can rot in hell cause they are the cause of not only their own suffering, but everyone else’s as well.

partisan politics

arbitrary distinction

Oh, you mean the who “both sides are terrible” argument? Let us see. One side thinks we should invest as much government money as we can into education, the other wants to gut every dime and put all kids (who can afford it) into private schools. One side wants to ensure that children do not go hungry, the other is canceling student lunch programs everywhere they can. And, to the point of this thread, one side wants us to acknowledge our hand in climate change and find a way to mitigate it, the other wants to pretend it doesn’t exist.

I’m not a radical for believing what I believe because what I believe is based in scientific fact and compassion for humanity. The “other side of the coin” is afraid that their tax money might, at some point, help a poor person in need.

Fuck your moderate ass. People like you are half the problem.

Vote better. Or, if you already do, work harder to get the fuckers out of office.

The people I’m mad at are the ones who vote these fuck heads in. Honestly if them dying makes it likely that a republican won’t pull a seat in the house or the Senate, I count that as a good thing. Fuck those assholes. They vote based on insignificant and petty issues drummed up by the conservative think tanks and not on any real issues. Critical race theory? Bullshit! Trans people trying to convert your kids or competing in sports “unfairly”? BULLSHIT! Illegal immigrants coming to kidnap or kill you or your family? Absolute HORSESHIT!!

These fucktards deserve ever extra degree of heat they get. I only feel sorry for the liberals who are stuck living with them. But only a little bit cause they need to light a fire under their asses and fight these bastards where they live.

Way to fucking jinx it.

Here’s hoping those ass fucks in Texas get to see their fair share this bullshit. While they sit around climate denying they can fucking roast.

The GOP tried real hard to find Biden guilty of literally anything. But when there no evidence whatsoever and the news keeps finding out that the “evidence” you’ve cooked up is actually just made up bullshit, it’s becomes quite hard to accomplish.
