I have not gotten a respiratory infection since 2019, and people now are all like “OMG this summer flu”. Summer flu is not a thing.

He’s on your side. Really.

I said stop replying to me you knob

As someone who didn’t try to not to get sick, avoided wearing a mask whenever I could, went to crowded bars with friends during the height of covid, etc, and never once got noticeably sick,

You’re a sociopath. BTW, Most COVID infections spread through an asymptomatic carrier. You likely did give many people COVID and did cause death and disability. Please stop replying to me, you knob.

Am I not putting people at risk of death and injury by driving my car even if I do it while sober and follow the rules? Am I not harming people with my exhaust, even if it’s stock and legal? We all do stuff that puts others at risk, it’s part of life.

As I already mentioned, the risk is much greater and is considered murder if it’s outside of what’s necessary. You drive but don’t speed.

I see your comment that you didn’t even mask during the mandate. Guy, after the suffering I’ve seen, your actions are appalling. But a sociopath like you will never get that no matter how many reasons you hear.

but this has a bad smell of fear mongering to sell vaccines around it for me.

This is rude and dangerous af. This is what I’m concerned with. Dr. Pagel has no connection with the pharmaceutical industry, so this is also just entirely misinformed. It must be nice to just shoot from the hip and not have to back up your assertions.

Christina Pagel was urging locking, masking, and caution since early 2020, which is well before vaccines were even available. And she’s taking the time to present the evidence, which you can clearly interrogate. Your unsubstantiated conspiracy theory is as dangerous as it is embarrassing.

Guy, you drive a car under the speed limit, sober, and when you have the right of way. If you fail to do any of those, and someone gets hurt, you are definitely at fault. You need to reasonably limit how much air pollution your car has and not roll coal.

God definitely gave you the means to stop it. It’s masks, filtration, ventilation, and obviously vaccines.

It’s the worst thing for me. I know there’s elderly, immunocompromised, and poor people who would be devastated after a serious illness. But I worked really hard at my office job and I need to see people smile because that’s important for some reason.

It’s mad that people can go “hey my actions put people at risk of death and injury and I’m just going to do it”

Coming from someone living with a person with long-COVID, someone who got infected AFTER being fully vaccinated and AFTER the emergency period, I just gotta say that this kind of thinking is really disappointing. Can you imagine if there was an afterlife, and you had to explain your actions to your higher power.

I guess for the West, the US has more access. Other countries, such as the UK, are paring back boosters except for the really vulnerable. It is still weird that the current vaccine is for a strain in 2021, though. Our societies should be doing better.

I 100% support your sentiment, but please consider reframing away from body-shaming in the future.

There’s absolutely ways to make a classic car quieter. I just think you want to run loud.

I’m pretty sure that a lot of people do custom jobs, either at a shop or a hobbyist place. The nerds who are into custom exhausts can probably just switch before and after their inspection. Although granted I wish the MOT dealt with loud cars better. I heard they’re going down this route, but haven’t see any effect from it yet.

I thought that you were an anti-masking dude being a misogynist, then I checked your profile

You’d be a hero if you kept trying.

I gotta say, N95s done right are much more comfortable then cloth and surgical masks. I just didn’t know at the start of the pandemic.

The 3M Aura and Vflex both breathe easily as heck. I’ve worn them on 40 degree days and I felt fine. They don’t block air like surgical masks.

Good luck getting a new booster in most Western countries.

I stopped washing my vegetables years ago. How long you babies gonna be scared of salmonella and pesticides.
