to pretend that what coop is saying is utter nonsense is as dumb as how you guys all want to frame it.
anyone who takes the time to look into it knows that its a virus that has the potential to be deadly to an ultra minority of the population. to have a mandated unproven vaccine is as insane to me as the lockdowns in the first place. if it was an actual LEGIT deadly pandemic that was taking swathes of the population i'd STILL be weird about a mandated vaccine.
its all just weird to me i dunno

uh-oh, you're a cool dude so I'm not going to flame your whole post.
But real quick:
* stat I was quoting is confirmed cases. (1 case = 1 test result). Your family of 4 would have been counted as 1 case in my number because it's not a count of people "quarantined"
* coop isn't saying utter nonsense. its partial truth mixed with partial nonsense:
- the vaccine is a new DNA based technology that was never been tested on humans at this scale before. but it also isn't physically capable of modifying human DNA.
- masks mandates aren't 100% effective. but they are still one of the most effective public policy tools we have currently.
that sort of thing.
* virus has the POTENTIAL to be deadly to anyone. the LIKELIHOOD is lower for younger people, but its still playing russian roulette. some unlucky people get the bullet, even little kids. Anyone who is telling you this only affects old people should go visit a COVID ICU in any major city in America and ask the nurses what the age range of patients they've admitted is.
* 3000 deaths/day actually is a LEGIT deadly pandemic that was taking swathes of the population
