How anti-vaxxers see vaccinated people, and what they actually are like themselves

Family Guy is doing their part to help get the vaccine info out there.

MacFarlane appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night to discuss the video. He said the decision to make the PSA was directly influenced by Tucker Carlson, who has spread misinformation about the virus on the Fox News Channel.

“I looked around and I saw everyone else at Fox Corp. doing their part to get good science out there and be responsible with their platforms,” MacFarlane said sarcastically. “And looking down the barrel of that kind of peer pressure, I said, ‘Well gosh, we’ve got to do something too.’”

For those small government "conservatives" who are yelling "freedom" about masks and vaccines, it's costing us lots of money...

New analysis estimates $5.7 billion price tag for treating unvaccinated Covid-19 patients in the last 3 months [CNN]

A new analysis published Tuesday estimates that preventable costs for treating hospitalized, unvaccinated Covid-19 patients reached $5.7 billion over the last three months.

This most recent data takes into account the surge in hospitalizations seen in August, which study authors estimate accounted for $3.7 billion of preventable spending alone.
The data analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation found, using data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as well as studies on health care costs, that each preventable Covid-19 hospitalization costs about $20,000.

According to KFF's analysis of data from the US Department of Health and Human Services and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US saw 287,000 preventable Covid-19 hospitalizations from June to August.

More Than 600,000 White Flags On The National Mall Honor Lives Lost To COVID [NPR]

Truly sad.

A sobering fact... See that 666,624 on the background in the image? That was the number when they put up the flags last weekend.

As of this afternoon in the US, the number is 679,551, That's how fast people are dying of COVID-19 in the US - over 2,000 per day right now.

None of that matters to them. They will continue to yell "buh muh freedumb" until they are put on the vent, then it's please pray for ______ then so and so died yesterday leaving behind 35 kids under 5. Not to mention that article that pretty much said that Biden is trying to kill of Stupid supporters or something. At this point I say that Biden should just use good ole reverse psychology on them. Go on faux news and say that he doesn't want anyone else to get the shot, and see what happens then.

Something that is interesting that is happening in the political party landscape is a change from the Republicans being "fiscal conservatives" and the party fueled by anger vs the Democrats being the ones who are compassionate and less concerned about the cost.

Two months ago, those who got vaccinated were celebrating the light at the end of the tunnel and the optimism of a return to normal.

Sadly, it seems the light at the end of the tunnel was the Delta train and the passengers were the unvaccinated.

I'm hearing more and more Democratic friends being really angry at the unvaccinated, especially the evangelicals and those who watch Fox and other right-wing media outlets. Now it's Democrats who are the angry party.

I'm also hearing proposals that the government should stop paying for the care of the unvaccinated and suggestions that emergency rooms should triage the vaccinated before the unvaccinated. I don't agree with those suggestions but I understand the frustration being them.

I haven't been reporting Indonesian statistics since we don't have many Indonesian JUB members.

Indonesia has reported 4,198,678 cases and 140,954 deaths. In the past 30 days, Delta variant has arrived in Indonesia causing 187,792 new cases and 12,553 deaths in the past month.

The good news is that Indonesia, which has 271 million people, has mounted a massive vaccination campaign that has administered 126 million doses, however because it has such a large population, they have only reached 46 million of their people, resulting in a 16.9% vaccination rate.

The bad news is that Indonesia accepted donated Sinovac vaccine from China. The vaccine has proven to be only about 51% effective against Delta variant- one of the lowest efficacy rates of the vaccines.


Hundreds of vaccinated Indonesian health workers get COVID-19, dozens in hospital [Reuters]

More than 350 doctors and medical workers have caught COVID-19 in Indonesia despite being vaccinated with Sinovac and dozens have been hospitalised, officials said, as concerns grow about the efficacy of some vaccines against more infectious variants.

Most of the workers were asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, said Badai Ismoyo, head of the health office in the district of Kudus in central Java, but dozens were in hospital with high fevers and falling oxygen-saturation levels.

Kudus, which has about 5,000 healthcare workers, is battling an outbreak believed to be driven by the more transmissible Delta variant, which has raised its bed occupancy rates above 90%.

People are disgusted with those who are causing the problem also controlling the public narrative. People are sick of coddling, empathizing, understanding, listening, trying to educate these fools who just use your compassion and concern for them as an opportunity to berate and attack you. They are the reason we are in this situation, nobody else. The anger level at the lies, disinformation, propaganda; the total lack of even the slightest bit of sympathy or responsibility; their pervasive, all-encompassing intransigence and irrationality of these people - is coming to a boil. These people are unreachable. They are deluded and brainwashed beyond help and hope. The anger of Democrats is specific and targeted to this. That's not the same as republican anger which not really anger, but hatred of everyone but them. So Democrats, having no real answer and out of frustration, lash out. Fuck them. It they're that stupid, screw 'em. Give the help and medical services to the responsible people who got vaccinated. Give it to those who legitimately couldn't get the vaccine. Give it to those who have other conditions and need care. We did the right thing. The unvaccinated are abusing US by monopolizing precious medical resources when they get sick from covid due to their own stubborn, obstinant, juvenile behaviour. Medical resources that responsible, sensible people should have. A 12 year-old boy in Florida nearly died from a burst appendix last week because the ER was overwhelmed with unvaccinated Covid patients. Fuck You Assholes. You did this. Go to the back of line and here's your bill.

Those minds have always been like that, and the game was always that: it is not going to change, and they are not facing a reality they never cared about because that reality now involves a massive-killer virus.

Heck, in Spain I have come to discuss with people with would even question the concept of "reality": tomorrow they can all be pro-vaccination; meanwhile, we all just have to put up with their brattiness.

He THINKS he owned the libs by refusing the vaccine pushed by Biden, Fauci, and Co. But as soon as he gets Covid, the gig is up.
