It'd be not far off accurate, and ironically portraying the exact opposite message, if the original numbers were kept, really. You could easily make the argument that there's four genders: (cis)female covering all female genotypes identifying as female, (cis)male covering all male genotypes identifying as male, transgender covering anyone who identifies as any form other than their genotype, and agender covering anyone who identifies as no gender.
Meanwhile David Warner is trying to convince Jean-Luc that "attack helicopter" is a gender, despite knowing it's not true.
Never go full Cardassian.
Also the sheer balls of using Star Trek to attack "woke"ness! The show that put a black woman in a position of seniority (right behind the Captain so she couldn't be cropped out), had the first interracial kiss, had the first Japanese and one of the first Russian major characters who weren't villains (UNCLE beat them to the Russian), the first black leading man outside of majority-black shows, one of the first lesbian kisses - and definitely the first trans-trans kiss (although it's complicated) - the first bi character, the first trans character, the first senior Arab character (who wasn't a villain), the first female lead in a non-female focus show, and the first emancipated sex toy. And probably more besides, even before we get to the hot mess of Discovery.
It should be anathema to the red pill brigade.

And so poorly. It's like someone just used a color picker and placed a matched rectangle over the word.
I actually considered it was edited but that the whole graphic was placed over the jacket, and was done reasonably well save for the placement that still looks awkward. Maybe the guy's just crooked.

Damn, last time I checked if you catch something you've never had a vaccine for and survive your bodys immune system gets to know the virus and can respond better the next time it might happen to catch it.
I still think there is a lot of hogwash in the numbers. The only reason the government wants people to get vaccinated is so they don't look like a fool spending billions on a vaccine a good number of people don't want to hide the biological warfare from China that we funded.
Why should I take what the WHO says when they can't(cough) won't tell me where it came from.

That's correct, for the most part.
Well, vaccines do the same thing as catching the thing, only without the whole infection, consequences of infection, death thing. That's pretty much why vaccines exist - they give you the same immune system benefits of catching the thing without the same negative effects of catching the thing.
Of course you can still catch the thing afterwards, in both cases, but with your immune system trained to fight it off your infection lasts for far less time and produces far fewer consequences as a result. And vaccination is not 100% safe; it can cause shock responses like anaphylaxis and CVST, though they are considerably rarer from being vaccinated than they are from being infected (in the case of COVID-19)
If you're one of the 97.5% of unvaccinated people who catches COVID-19 and doesn't die, you can look forward to enhanced protection from infection a second time by the same strain. However the 2.5% risk of death (and 5% risk of long-term illness) is considerably higher than the 0.00004% risk of death from a vaccine-induced CVST (pretty much the only thing that can kill you after a vaccine, aside from being a moron; choosing to drive off rather than waiting 15 minutes and having your anaphylactic response at 50mph rather than in a room with nurses is stupid and deadly).
In addition, with a second infection or a first infection after vaccination causing a significantly reduced infection period, you are less likely to pass it on, by at least an order of magnitude - if not considerably more.
That means that the virus goes from being able to infect six other people to less than one, which means total cases go from exponential increase to rapid decline. That reduces the number of people exposed to it, without them even needing to be vaccinated against it. However you need a lot of people to have had a first infection or a vaccination to make this effective. This is what's known as "herd immunity" - when a large enough number of a population are "immune" to the disease that they can protect the entire population (or "herd").
Aaaand finally, the more people exposed and infected, the faster the virus can mutate into other forms. The larger the infected population, the more "variants" you get and variants make both protection from a prior infection and from vaccination less effective - increasing the number of potential hosts (and deaths) for further mutations.
Ultimately what you're looking at here is vaccination causes fewer deaths, fewer illnesses, fewer ongoing cases, and fewer mutations than simply letting people get infected and get over it - which kills 50,000 times as many people (at least) as vaccinations do, causes long-term illness in 100,000 times more people than vaccinations kill, allows rapid proliferation with cases doubling every four days, and increased mutation which will render your getting infecting and getting over it useless in enough time.
"The only reason the government wants people to get vaccinated" then is probably because a pessimistic 10,000 dead is less than an optimistic 7.5 million dead and 15 million with long-term illnesses, and they can hit the former by getting 85% of the adult population vaccinated before a variant that can walk straight through any immunity arises in the pool of unvaccinated and renders all previous efforts useless.
I don't think covering up biological warfare comes into it, really. In fact a lot more people dying would be beneficial to a cover up - fewer people to demand answers, fewer whistleblowers alive to provide them, and COVID is a perfect cover for assassinations.
Depends what it is they're saying.
I mean, I think we know that when it comes to COVID-19 and China, the Chinese-stacked WHO can't be entirely relied upon to be honest and clear about anything. However, outside that obvious conflict of interest, there's not a lot that requires overt mistrust; if they say masks, hand-washing, and staying the heck away from people helps limit spread, and vaccinations are the only way to beat it, they're right. If they say tiger wang cures it, you can probably surmise that it's China under the WHO mask again.

The drunk gas and giggly juice have kicked in so, so far so good. Wifey already warned me about(even though I already knew it) it's going to hit me later tonight when the festivities wear off.
Thanks I'll update y'all tomorrow.

She's doing fine now, took her about 3 days.
She kept saying it didn't help her asthma.
I think it was more anxiety, she can give herself a asthma attack in the store just cause she left her inhaler in the car and didn't even need it but realized it was in the car...
Thanks for asking though.

I've seen a few social media posts claiming the Taliban "beat" coronavirus despite not taking appropriate measures.
No idea where to start with that one....

belongs in the cursed media thread. This is so dumb."If we wear a mask so that people don't get our germs during a pandemic, we'll end up in a social credit system that will control every aspect of our lives. I must be allowed to cough COVID onto people!"

What happened to the 2 weeks to flatten the curve mantra?

Damn long 2 weeks, ain't it?
