"California Sober" is the way to go. Don't miss the booze but once a year...when football season starts. Even that will pass by week 3.

Those people were going to die of something anyway.

Aren’t we all eventually?

OR, she’s right, the delta variant is materially worse for younger people/kids and that vaccinations help lower deaths from Covid (as evidenced by the UK data shown in another thread).

It might just be that she knows more about this and/or has access to more real-time data than the average OTer.

quote:

So you’re also a failure at maintaining consistent arguments. Because that’s not what you said yesterday

---

Which statement is contradictory?
That people are taking her comments out of context or not considering all of her comments before objecting?
That she’s a qualified, credentialed physician who is more qualified than most to speak on the topic?
Pointing out that when many on the OT object but have no facts to support them, they stood to making fun of the person’s looks and other absurdities?
Agreement that much info around Covid seems fricked up but rejecting that she’s a pawn of Obama or the New World Order (or some other conspiracy theory)?

If I’ve learned anything over the last couple days it’s that statistics cannot be trusted and are clearly manipulated by the government with the direct intent to harm the average American. Worse, this fraud is being perpetrated on us by the physician community who are all liberal goons.

See, at least this is a reasonable discussion of salient points. Let’s walk through it.

quote:

---

How many women have had miscarriages due to Covid?

---

I’m no doctor and not privy to this statistic. I would think that added stress on a pregnant mother from Covid could cause miscarriages so it’s probably not zero. I too would like to know the answer to that question. Perhaps this would have been a great followup question for the “journalists” covering the story.

quote:

---

Another variant is a good thing I thought? Doesn’t each variant get weaker?

---

Again, I’m no doctor. I’ve repeatedly said to find me a more qualified doctor with an alternative viewpoint and I’d happily listen. As to the variants, I was under the impression that each variant had different characteristics which can make it better or worse for some groups. Again, not a doctor. I’ll leave that up to a virologist or infections disease physician to explain.

quote:

---

Absolutely a lie, there are 563 people hospitalized state wide

---

So you think that the doctor who as Chief Medical Officer (presumably) oversees OLOL is just up there making shite up. There’s no denying there’s been something fricked about the numbers since day 1, but you’re saying she’s lying when she says that the recent uptick in cases has stressed the infrastructure of OLOL. I doubt it but we can agree to disagree on that.

quote:

---

There are 9 deaths in the state from people under the age of 18
Total cases for ages under 18 is 12,525

---

I took from her comments that the delta variant seems to have a higher chance of infecting children than previous variants. Again, not a doctor but it’s not outside the realm of possibility. We don’t have the recent data to analyze this for ourselves (at least I don’t).

quote:

---

So the Advocate got the headline just as she said it

---

Taking into consideration everything she said prior throughout the article, my take away was that she’s saying vaccinations keep people from getting harshest symptoms and without vaccinations we can’t get to herd immunity and therefore more people will die from the virus. Coupled with the poor burglar analogy, I admit it’s a bit over the top but not worth this much vitriol. But once again, find me a qualified physician who specializes in this shite who believes differently that Dr. O’Neal and I’m all ears. Trouble is, all I can find are Facebook only doctors who spout conspiracy theories and snip-its of data or partial quotes. If I’m picking a horse to back, I’m picking the credentialed, specialized physician over some random anesthesiologist or some baseball mom from LP who knows a nurse who is dating a guy who sells medical equipment to a surgeon on the North Shore.

Awwww….did you get your feelings hurt snowflake?
