But of course the corrupt, bought-and-paid-for-media decides to weigh in with a full court press of lies. Hey Moronic MSM writers and talking heads, gaining immunity from a virus after getting it is NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY. Just because you were not capable of pursuing a career related to math or science doesn’t negate what Jonathan Issac said. #TheMediaAreIdiots #ScienceIsHard

I saw something today on the internets with this video and a caption to the effect (I’m not quoting):
‘Man that plays with a rubber ball for a living knows more about viral disease and statistics than public health officials.’
You saw that quote here… at SDA… because this story was posted earlier here…at SDA.
I suspected as much, and scrolled down a bit to check before I posted, but I failed.
Do you SDA folks coordinate your posts?
Rt
Well, One would think that most who graduate with at least a High School Eduction would know that…??
Although the last 30 yrs worth….is a whole other story…IMO.
We should always take advise medical advise from athletes !!!
A commentard self identifying as “Billy Thornton” uttered “We should always take advise medical advise from athletes !!!”
To which I replied: “We should always consider carefully the advice from small boys who report on an emperor’s new clothes. And then make our own minds up.”
(Translation for the hard of understanding: if you are being told BS by Our Dear Leaders and their Experts, more fool you if you believe them)
Maybe his balls are rubbery?
He, was spot on….
Covid or not, seems to me humanity has battled multiple “variants” of Corona Viruses over the millennia. Most of the planets population was most likely already immune with significant T-Cell activity to prove it. Those that caught it over the past 2 years, being just the latest to gain NATURAL Immunity…and one FAR FAR superior to some leaky computer generated gene sequenced pile of crud – aka the VidVax.
A gene sequenced Virus that has created the greatest division in humanity…ever. I say that as with the exception of my daughters/their Guys and my wife, the rest of the extnded familial sheep have pretty much disowned me…. Karens…& Kevins.
Well, to them say “I’m done too” – Adios.
Christ did say to be prepared to dump family and friends to follow him. So even he understood that there are situations in which “refusing to go wobbly” (as the Iron Lady said) will cost you friends and family.
Covid is a weaponized bad flu used for political wealth and power. That’s all I need to know.
Yeah… according to my family, I’ve been corrupted by a “right-wing extremists” cult, and in desperate need of an intervention.
I’m thinking of drafting a response, except that I already did… with two words, of which I will not repeat here, but I think you can imagine what those two words were, and you wouldn’t be far from the truth.
We”ve all been affected. Relationships that go silent, neighbours with quizzical stares, family on the fence, “we just want to return to a normal life, taking the shot will do that”
Get back to me in 5 years, when long term effects have had a chance to manifest.
It’s another example of the short term mentality that is endemic in society, immediate gratification is the sole motivator for almost all of society
The gentleman also stood for the National Anthem during the BLM kneeling crap.
+++++/\ Andy
Good on him…!
Except that like me, and according to an author I saw interviewed on TVO, he would be one of the “victims” of “misinformation.”
You see, we can’t help being “anti-science,” and we should ask ourselves at what point did we become this way? I can answer that… I became “anti-science” when I learned that the “scientists” were lying to me!
OK… I’ve used up my quota of scare quotes for today, so have yourselves a good night, all…
well then he must be listened to for medical advise.
The word you’re looking for is “advice,” Omar. Use some of that 10 mil for something besides nose-blasting, fuckwit – like English lessons, for the umpteenth time.
Wow – he really IS a gentleman, and understands the value of having grown up in the USA rather than Africa. Well done!
The guy asking the question is from The Athletic, a far left journal of wokeness pretending to write about sports.
“It’s not a pandemic, it’s an IQ test.”
I stole that.
Love that. Would make a great T-shirt.
unfortunately rich that can be bent both ways.
Over + and over -?
May I point out something? These are not “dumb jocks”. Dumb players don’t get very far in the NBA, a game where you have to outwit your opponent. They are always trying to fool the other side, thus, they may be hard for our great leaders to fool.
The cameras kept rolling for him. Lucky for him he’s not a neuroscientist.
He’s 100% right but he will get grief. Because the truth burns ’em like holy water and they’re NOT forgiving.
NBA (as well) has fallen loong time ago. The sign for me was when NBA flip-flopped on Hong-Kong immediately after China said “Whhat?”.
The spectacle of pandering and wokeness went in full force after George Floyd. We had to know each game that player X stood for cause Y and the message on his tshirt is Z. It was all about politics, not about the sport.
“He’s 100% right but he will get grief”
Those who have made the decision to pass on the free jab live with the consequences of that decision daily. Labeled terrorists in our small town local paper, here is an ‘uninvite’ to the unacceptable from a person celebrating a birthday:
‘All guests will be required to show proof of vaccinations’
