Jimmy was an early advocate for the Wuhan laboratory theory of the virus origin, so clearly he doesn't think it is fake. It's usually not the case when we say "all" that we mean everything in existence. If I look into a garage, and say "It's all junk!" I'm referring to the contents of the garage (i.e. the contents of the garage is my domain of discourse).

When someone says something like "It's all fake" you have to consider what their domain of discourse is. Does the "all" in that sentence really quantify over everything? If so then it would also be self-referencial and the statement would imply that it is itself fake. Moreover, it would imply that Jimmy and the entire universe he inhabits is fake, making further discussion about it pointless. It's much more plausible that he had in mind a more limited domain of discourse, for example maybe he was referring to the propaganda surrounding the pandemic.

EDIT: his simultaneous post verifies my theory (hype = propaganda)


Of course some of news will increase number of infected and people killed by virus, but that has its purpose too. To scare people off so they behave more under certain rules, preventing chaotic scenario like in India for example.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orang juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well uh the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo, homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
And you're just shitting inside your own mouth with such a contradiction "argument" dude.

In December 2019 I was already discussing with people the possibility of this being an extinction level event, and people calling me a crazy conspiracy theorist and there was no evidence of any virus. Turns out I was just taking the early bait, and now those same people are convinced that you have to wear a mask or you will die.

Soooo... what did I miss lol!?

That scottish variant looks promising enough. Does it headbutts the patient to start the infection :D

Quote

21 pages about COVID????

Man and to think this is a community of Duke Nukem, gaming and hardware, and I see a 21 page thread on covid. Man.....


To be fair, there are as many pages for other gaming related stuff. The Doom corner has 138 pages and the DN3D 20th anniv thread has 113.

I think this thread is absolutely fine. Better to have a thread were people can openly express their thoughts on COVID-19 no matter their opinion (with a little blerb from time to time from your friendly local taco doctor) then pull a reddit or doomworld and stifle all conversation.

Both sides have some valid points that I think unfortunately have been used as political hammers in the current USA (and globally, for that manner) political/social climate.

imagine not knowing that the pharmaceutical industry has the most lobbyists and spends the most money on political influence than any other non-government entity on the planet.
imagine not knowing that the Gates Foundation has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into pharma companies since 2020.

Guy sounds like he's from some small European or possibly Central Asian country. People tend to focus on their local politics & culture a lot, especially when they have their own language, which creates an illusion of independence from all this shit. My country is the same way. People get everything filtered through some local talking head who spins things in a way that benefits their own narrative that tends to be very parochial.

Well i already mentioned that i am from Serbia country in southeastern Europe earlier in this thread. And i also explained that President of my country Aleksandar Vucic is doing great stuff by vaccinating many people and fighting the corona-virus, and now thanks to him my country is doing better. People don't wear mask much as they did previous months. Situation is improving. And here is also people who told me about Bill Gates involved in vaccines and that's a fact and that's not my problem and not my point. My point is they try to put "blame" on Bill Gates for "conspiracy" of actually "getting people infected on purpose" and "putting chips in peoples body via vaccine" This is what i consider dumb and typical conspiracy theory. Those same people believe Earth is Flat and that Armstrong never landed on moon. Then what i can disscuss with them?

Lets hope situations do improve. I'm cautiously optimistic myself, Delta variant does worry me a bit though.

The problem will be the economy in the future IMO.

That's exactly what i was talking about in previous page of this thread. The Economy is screwed. And that Delta shit came from India where the situation is most chaotic. Hope they also recover soon as possible, I wish them best luck! People of India also blame their government for removing restrictions too early. They claim that's the cause of chaotic situation over there.

1.- It is yes. The biggest transfer of wealth is going under our noses.

2.- LOOOOOOOOOOOL no. I know doctors in and from India. The reality is that even with government restrictions people don't give a shit and when people eventually die this results in people lynching doctors. There is a reason Indian medics run away from that country to anywhere else that is west of India.

Well, no wonder i thought wrong because part of information "People of India also blame their government for removing restrictions too early. They claim that's the cause of chaotic situation over there." i actually heard from N1 TV, the most Anti-Patriotic television here in Serbia. This television is actually right expanded hand of American CNN (aka fake news) for Eastern Europe which well known for being Anti-Patriotic but also for attacking governments of other countries as well.

Could be, to be honest I know very little about N1 TV. What I do know from second hand accounts from Indian doctors is that India is literally a shit show.

The "coronavirus" has never been isolated in a lab. How do they know there is a variant?

because it refuses to be bribed by pharma lobbyists


you see those commercials about soap that kills 99% of the 'germs' on your toothbrush?
the 1% of anti-bacterial resistant "super-bugs" are the ones that are left to reproduce and will eventually decided to make your asshole bleed. There's nothing you can do about it because people ate up the marketing propaganda and let their immune system get weak and lazy

same shit with this chinese bat flu

the u.s. government is going to force electric cars (that draconian policy won't stay regional)
the citizens will be forced to install smart meters on their homes
they will then be forced to choose between cooking a meal or charging their car

globalism never sleeps

Anyone been following how hard my country in particular has been fucking itself up its own ass lately? You basically need a QR code proving that you've been vaccinated to go to any public place now (let alone travel). That's including work places, and since it's constitutionally illegal to fire someone for refusing a vaccine, they are enforcing it by having people keep working but for no pay (which surely has to be just as illegal somewhere). Some hospitals are going on unlimited strikes, and shops and restaurants are calling for their own boycott as no economy flow for a few days should be better for them long term than, from now on, only ever being able to receive a quarter of their usual clientele. It's the first time I'm seeing a French president lose face and credibility in the eye of literally most everyone in the country regardless of all typical political orientations, and running with it, working his way around the constitution like a full-on tyrant. Not only aren't the vaccines a miraculous solution right now, but very oddly (but not surprisingly) enough, the police is exempted from all those regulations, meaning it might actually become the number one spreading agent of this shit in the long run. In the meantime, dude is off to Polynesia to give distant, patronizing speeches on selfishness when he himself refuses the vaccine, although he just ordered two billion doses. Millions of people are protesting against the situation, although reports only indicate 160.000 nation-wide (which is ridiculous) and the demonstrations are repressed as firmly as the ones against the recent laws prohibiting filming the police were just a few months ago. Shit is absolutely fucked.

Also censorship report (and the drop of water that tipped the vase and drove me to write this post), but Instagram (and so I reckon Facebook, etc.) now blocks the potential spreading of just questioning the governmental marketing of the vaccines. For work I was just having to share Instagram stories which were 200% not Covid related (nor political) at all, but just so happened to comprise the word 'dose'; for some of them that were designed a certain way where the word is actually recognized by the algorithms (also maybe because it's on a platform with over 10k followers which normally allows you more freedom, such as the one of sharing direct links), the 'share' button is replaced with a direct link to the Covid information page on a governmental website (and so you can't share the story either, unless you redesign it; your only option is reading the official communication for yourself as your nose gets shoved into the dog shit).

Kinda pleased with my mark of the beast here, although I was hoping I'd also get a tattoo along with the jab. Also the possibility to make payments with blood still isn't enabled in most shops around here, hopefully they get it fixed soon, would spare a lot of room not having to carry the wallet around all the time.

Which vaccine did you go with? I feel like I'll be compelled to do the same soon. Vaccine passports are becoming a thing. Europe, everyone.

technically the mark of the beast is showing you have approved modified 'antigens' in your blood, so you are using your blood to enter markets to make transactions and travel freely
