Texas Democrats who fled elections bill vote get COVID Fully vaxxed.

[Hanafuda]

Those of us responsible adults who got fully vaccinated aren't going to keep waiting for the anti-vax dipshits to get with the program. We'd literally be waiting until the end of time. The possibility of catching COVID after being fully vaccinated is very slim, and the possibility of exhibiting severe symptoms is even slimmer.

I know all that. And I got vaccinated back in March/April if you're interested to know. Doesn't change there's still a rule, and they ignored it. I wouldn't have mentioned it, if Lacius hadn't said otherwise.

Are they dead? If they are not then thats the vaccine at work.

Preventing infection while nice isn't the most important part for the vaccine. The most important reason for the vaccine is to help boost your bodies defense system to fight the virus before it gets worse. If they are not hospitalized or not dead then the vaccine is doing work. You are less likely to get infected and even way more less likely to die after the vaccine.

 

[djpannda]

I love how this news headline supports the reasoning for everyone to get vaccinated but The right siting there....

 

[Lacius]

Isn't there still a federal mask mandate during air travel, vaccinated or not? Not that I care, nor do I think it had anything to do with any of them testing positive. But just 'fact checking' your suggestion that they 'didn't violate any laws, regulations, nor guidance ...' They definitely did, then tried to waffle-language their way around it by saying it was a charter flight (irrelevant), that they all knew each other (irrelevant), and that they were all vaccinated (irrelevant). I think all of those are reasonable explanations for why they shouldn't have needed to wear masks on a bus or on an airplane, but the federal mask mandate for transportation is still in effect and doesn't have any such exceptions.

1. They chartered a private jet, not a commercial jet, so the federal mask mandate apparently doesn't apply. It is indeed relevant.
2. They are all vaccinated, which significantly reduces the chances of getting infected. It also significantly reduces the chances that someone who is infected with spread the disease or suffer serious illness from the disease. Their vaccination status is very relevant.
3. They fact that they are all close contacts who work together anyway is relevant. Like all close contacts, they're potentially exposing each other all the time. The fact that they're close contacts is also relevant.

If I want to use public transit, I have to wear a mask (vaccinated or not), but if I get a limousine for myself and some close friends (and all of us are vaccinated), there's no mask mandate, the CDC guidance is we don't have to wear masks in that situation, and there's no moral imperative to wear masks in that situation. The current mask mandates are all about public conveyances, since you don't know who is/isn't vaccinated, and there is a higher risk for transmittance.

Losers. They're all losers.

 

[Xzi]

Losers. They're all losers.

Except...Republicans lost the last two elections? Pretty badly, at that. They went from controlling the House, Senate, and presidency in 2016, to controlling none of those things in 2020. Which is the only reason they're now trying to re-enact Jim Crow laws on the state level. They're sore losers.

 

[Lacius]

Losers. They're all losers.

I'm curious: Which of the following makes a person a loser?

1. Fighting for democracy
2. Fighting against democracy because Republicans are so unpopular that all non-incumbent Republicans (and relevantly, one incumbent Republican loser in 2020 named Donald Trump) have lost the popular vote in every presidential election after 1988?

 

[jimbo13]

Fighting for Democracy

What a bullshit meaningless platitude, they are fighting voter ID which 70-95% of the public supports across polls.

Everyone has a right to believe the elections have integrity, not just your partisan camp.

Good dickens, don't turn this into the COVID vaccine thread.

Vaccines don't make you immune, but they do increase your chances of not contracting the disease, and if you do, lessens the symptoms. "Immunity" is referred to the nullification and lessening of certain effects of COVID-19. However, being an idiot and not getting the vaccine will do the following:

• Your survival chances are lower than one who is vaccinated.
• Your risk of the contraction of any strain, any breakthrough, or any form of COVID-19 is higher than one who is vaccinated.
• Your symptoms are worse.
• You are banned from air travel to foreign countries. You must provide proof of vaccination (Vaccination Card only) and consent to a COVID screening on-site immediately at your arrival.
• You are highly recommended to wear a mask within stores.
• Your IQ is significantly decreased.

And a friendly note: partial vaccination is not full vaccination. I would advise those of you awaiting dose no. 2 to remain masked within stores for the protection of others. Full vaccination will get you the perks you desire. Just wait for those three weeks and you are on the track to freedom!

Another note: get vaccinated. To heck with pushing meaningless propaganda, I'm pushing factual propaganda, betches. I will not stop until people here are no longer vaccine ignorant.

Tertiary note: If you are still saying COVID is a simulation, the vaccine is poison and a microchip, or think that COVID is population control/government inner-workings, you are wrong. If it was a government working they could shut it down rather than push for vaccination. If you think it's a microchip, you are literally being tracked right now. You have microchips everywhere if you have internet. If you think it's a simulation, wake up and get off of r/conspiracy. Nothing you read there is true and will be disproven immediately by qualified scientists, police experts, and us here on GBATemp with the ability to research. If you think the vaccine is poison, you have put worse things in your body.

Quaternary note: The Delta strain is a strain of COVID that has gained partial resilience to the vaccine. You are still safe with the vaccine, but Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are working on boosters. Stay safe guys.

I have proof against theories. There are qualified experts who can tell you what I just told you is true.

Everyone has a right to believe the elections have integrity, not just your partisan camp.

Here's the problem with that. The last administration brought up 60 court cases about election integrity after the election, and they were ALL shot down by the judges (Many being Trump appointees). The "big lie" has been continually circulated in the most noisy of echo chambers, which has caused these frivious laws to be created. All in order to give credibility to the original "big lie". So you've been shown that the elections have no issues, and yet you ignore those facts and are still whining for more restrictions on voting.

The facts have been laid out for you, and yet you're still content being a zombie for a party that is only looking out for themselves. Republicans are going to lose Texas sooner or later. The demographics are shifting, and the right's only weapon against it is stopping people from voting.

Voter ID has been an issue long before Trump, the only thing shifting is Californian's fat asses because they can't afford housing where they lived because of their failed ideology.

The reality is Dems have waves, but Conservatism isn't going anywhere it's a simple matter of time and age.

Progressives have the young, welfare recipients, state employees (same thing) and entertainers.
People that don't have to function in a real economy, job market or the real world.
Young progressives theory craft about all the people they want to take care of.
Conservatives actually have people they need to care for.

Tax bills and time always does a great job of recruiting for the GOP.

Is Voter ID the ONLY thing on the bill which the Republicans are trying to push through? Or were there any other sinister new restrictions which you are conveniently not including?

Because if there WERE other things in the bill that are terrible in that bill, then it would mean that you are being a bad faith actor.

Yeah there are also restrictions on mail-in and early voting. He's full of shit.

What's in that bill that's not common place in other states?

I think you mean "commonplace".

Again, there has been no evidence of voter mass fraud. The 60 court cases has proven that there is no evidence to say otherwise, therefore these are laws only to limit voters coming to the polls in Democratic counties. You do know that voting is a right, correct? It shouldn't be a race to the bottom for how difficult it is to vote in your state. If anything, the state should be pushing for a national holiday for voting.

What laws are those? You will continually ramble on about abstracts and avoid citing what they are at all cost.

Voting is a right for qualified legal citizens who meet the residency requirements of where they are voting, and every state has the right and obligation to set those parameters and make sure they are followed and citizens need to be able to verify that they were.

Cry more because you can't cite what laws your complaining about.

So is gun ownership, we still check IDs and tell felons to fuck off

1. They chartered a private jet, not a commercial jet, so the federal mask mandate apparently doesn't apply. It is indeed relevant.

Theoretically possible if their flight was a "part 91" charter, but unlikely. Part 91 is non-commercial. Most of the private charter flights that can be hired like this are "part 135," and they are subject to the mandate.
