It's your grandparents generation most likely that was considered "the greatest generation." Living through the Great Depression, fighting WWII and the Korean War, building a foundation for future generations to prosper.
Covid Vaccinations
- Thread starter fedx
- Start date
Can you list the deadly, easily transmittable air borne viruses that were common in the US before covid??????Educate me.
Did you read your own link? Said Nixon took the dollar completely off the gold standard in 1971. I wasn't looking to find fault, just informing you. You are a sensitive soul.Neither had anything to do with 'boomer' which was the point you entirely gloss over and try to find some other fault. Can't you folow a discussion and make a point relevant to the topic being discussed?
And the gold standard WAS dropped in 1933
FDR takes United States off gold standard | June 5, 1933 | HISTORY
The United States goes off the gold standard, a monetary system in which currency is backed by gold, when Congress enacted a joint resolution nullifying the right of creditors to demand payment in gold.www.history.com
Influenza.
Some may have learned that you can catch covid more than once when they previously believed that if you had covid once you were immune from any future instance for life. Sometimes, finding out what misinformation people base their ideas on can allow them to change if they aren't just willfully ignorant when they learn the facts. Most on here though have so much misinformation that they believe without checking that admitting one fact is wrong would make them mentally unstable if they admitted being wrong about even one thing..
Taking the dollar off gold conversion as the last remnant is different from ending the gold standard. Just admit you were wrong and stop.
And either way you want to believe, it STILL had nothing to do with boomers, no matter how much hate you might have for them. Again, you missed the point. Typical.
Wht are you insisting on deflecting from the point being made???? Do you not like the point that I proved- that boomers had NOTHING to do with the gold standard- so need to change to something that makes you feel more powerful somehow???? Something is clearly wrong with you.
Influenza is rarely deadly, and doctors do wear masks when treating people with influenza. And unless symptomatic, influenza is NOT easily transmittable by air. Covid is more transmittable AND more deadly. Only about 35-45k people die from influenza annually, while have had 700k dead from covid in about 18 months. Influenza is not commonly a deadly disease while covid is.

This is incorrect. The delta variant is not a mutation that gets around the vaccines. If you get the vaccine you are protected from death.

When the numbers get large enough extremely low probability events happen. That’s like the stupid argument about not wearing seatbelts because in extremely rare events they can cause a fatality.
Hate to break it to you but that is exactly what the Delta variant is doing. A fairly hefty percentage of recent cases and deaths were from fully vaccinated people.
It's not extremely low probability. The vaccines don't seem to last beyond 6 months and booster shots are on the way.
It not a pissing contest. The flu transmits through the air and tens of thousands die from it most years. You asked, I told. And by the way the flu has been around a lot longer, people take a shot for it, and it kills a lot more kids than covid. Covid will eventually run its course and probably become like flu an annual thing we'll get shots for.

Two different viruses so that is comparing apples to oranges. Secondly I've never had the measles because I was vaccinated as a child.

Wrong. There are more breakthrough cases with Delta but the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths are unvaccinated people.
I've had the measles and shouldn't get them again. Viruses act in predictable ways unless of course they're bioengineered in a bioweapons lab.Two different viruses so that is comparing apples to oranges. Secondly I've never had the measles because I was vaccinated as a child.

That's some Tucker level disinformation right there.
I never said that they're all vaccinated who are dying. But a fairly hefty percentage of both cases and deaths are happening to the vaccinated and that number will go up as the vaccines wear off.
