Ignores the fact that the vaccine is literally the thing that could stand in the way of putting a stop to the situation or allowing it to progress and do further unrepairable damage. That, we can absolutely agree on--even it the vaccine isn't ready for that scale of distribution.

Essentially the vaccine is incredibly important specifically because it's the only thing that can even the playing field for the working class. If there is any merit to a conspiracy, it's that anti-vax conspiracies and beliefs would exist to keep the working class down by preventing them from believing in a thing that could potentially put power back into their hands. Once again, another example of class infighting amongst the working class.

We can also agree most governments have handled this poorly and that corporate interests are in control. I don't see it as an organized cabal or entity, but opportunists taking advantage of the situation.

Hmmm. Seems to me you think it does:

It's safer to go to Wal-Mart in bigger numbers, than somewhere else in a smaller numbers, because the virus knows which businesses are essential, and which ones aren't.

I'll be honest, if given a choice, I'm not going to get the first round of a vaccine that was developed in record time... And I'm the farthest from a conspiracy theorist, I'm not even anti-mask.

No that's not right. Your interpretation is incorrect, and as expected of someone with low intelligence, you completely ignored the nature of the supply chain and how a large firm like walmart will involve fewer steps and interactions between individuals than the supply for small distributors. I'll let you think about it for a while. Then you can cry knowing I eviscerated your arguments yet again. Good day.

Another issue is size of store. A large store has better ventilation and can reduce spread.

I'm literally laughing at you grasping at straws as you think of them.

Did you find the study I asked for yet?

Or maybe the study that proves that the virus knows whether the store is essential or not?

Edit : Alternately, I will take a study that shows the reduced number of people involved in the supply chain of Wal-Mart vs. Best Buy.

There's also point #2 which is also equally relevant here. Walmart is a bigger store and you have better ventilation. You don't need a study to know that fewer interactions and better ventilation leads to fewer cases of transmission.

Regarding the virus knowing things, epic straw man dude. But no, viruses don't have brains. Thanks for playing though. We're done. You're wrong as usual.

Grasping at straws - Wal-Mart has better ventilation than Best Buy.

Fewer interactions between hundreds of people in store vs. dozens.

Just LOL.

Edit : To keep track of the studies you need to find so far:

1. A study that shows you are less likely to catch Covid19 shopping for a TV in Wal-Mart than you are shopping for garden supplies at a local outdoor garden center,
2. A study that proves that the virus knows whether the store is essential or not,
3. A study that shows the reduced number of people involved in the supply chain of Wal-Mart vs. Best Buy,
4. A report that shows that the ventilation system of a Wal-Mart moves more cubic feet of air per minute per person than the ventilation system of a Best Buy.

Remember, I didn't come up with any of these, these are all things that you have said or implied.

Interestingly, nobody forced Best Buy to close.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/29/busin...ics/index.html

You can see here he chose to close his stores in response to the pandemic.

In fact, can you show me who is being forced to close? Aside from the most obvious offenders for spreading, like dining in bars and restaurants, clothing stores, cinemas, etc? I'm actually surprised garden stores are closed by order of the government. Are you sure they didn't just go out of business? Maybe you can link something showing the CDC ordered garden stores to close? Or maybe you're just a bullchitter?

it knows not to infect people at BLM rallies. I have BLM posters all over my house to avoid infection. its science. it also doesnt infect while youre eating. i kept my mask off my entire 8 hour flight but made sure to eat a peanut every 120 seconds so the virus knew not to infect me while im eating.

i have no doubt that cases have been on the rise and that you could find an example of a city where there would be potential for the healthcare system to be overwhelmed. however, just because there is a rise in cases doesn't mean that the healthcare system is on the verge of being overwhelmed everywhere. you can't draw that conclusion without conjecture.

i don't doubt the virus is real. thing is, this paragraph you wrote could easily apply to mental illness, suicides, bankruptcies, loss of livelihoods, etc. people don't generally oppose the lockdowns because the virus isnt real and because they dont think people arent dying from it. they oppose the lockdowns for all the reasons just stated, and more.

It's safe for almost everyone. And given the circumstances, it is definitely recommended.
im not debating the vaccine. i'll likely be taking it because of my family members who are vulnerable. but that's not what we are debating.

What exactly are we debating here? And more importantly, why am I debating anyone? This thread is about information on covid. Period. Also tell me wtf is a lockdown according to you people?

You understand that the correct thing would be a quarantine right? They made all these compromises BECAUSE American people can't handle it. It's a fuking virus. Rallies spread the disease. Eating with others spreads the disease. Pretty much everything involving you interacting with someone spreads the disease. Masks help. Distancing helps.

Now we're getting somewhere, so you're saying if people only went out for the strictest of essentials, that would be beneficial?

New news on the Moderna vaccine:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/04/mode...his-year.html\

"Moderna is upping the minimum number of doses it expects to make to 600 million, the company said Monday."

"The company said it’s working to produce up to 1 billion doses of its Covid vaccine this year. The U.S. is on track to secure 100 million shots of Moderna’s vaccine by the end of March and additional 100 million by June, the Massachusetts-based company said in a statement"

LOL your own MOTHER was hospitalized for 4 days! How can you keep comparing it to the cold you f'ing moron. Your mother was one of the lucky ones. 350k other souls were not so lucky. Be thankful if she doesn't develop long term symptoms like millions of others have, or a premature heart attack/stroke from the way the virus fuks with your vascular system. Also, glad you finally stopped posting about murdering liberals on this forum. Did you get a visit from the g-men yet?
