Texas Anti-Mask Leader Dies Of Covid-19

[DTCwordfan]

I can't help but shake my head at the irony in this - even if it is sad for the ijiut's family.

Why, oh why, do they think that they are invincible?

[emmie]

don't know dtc, no one is immune...

[DTCwordfan]

exactly the point, emmie, so why disregard common-sense/advice/local regulations?

[emmie]

because he obviously knew better, or so he and his followers thought - now perhaps they will see how deadly this virus is

[emmie]

get masked up and vaccinated as soon as humanly possible seems to be the only answer.

[youngmafbog]

Why the need for name calling?

He made a choice, the wrong one, but his choice and we dont know exactly why he chose.

Just for instance, if he had received the vaccine and died (and it does happen) would he be an ijiout?

[bobbinwales]

No unless he was advised by doctor not to .Because the stats are so overwhelming

[bhg481]

We don't know for sure that he made the wrong choice; people have died after catching Covid after 2 jabs, so he might have caught it and died had he been vaccinated. He might also have died as a result of being vaccinated as some have done. Statistics are just that, what's most likely but no certainty. We all make our choice and hope we've made the right one.

[bobbinwales]

True but the stats are overwhelming though I realise some still think the starts are fiddled or there's an agenda or it's too early to know of long term effects. but how many qualified doctors would advise the average person not to have it- probably 1 in 1000 doctors with 999 saying have it

And that right there is why we really need but will not have compulsory vaccination

[LeonBlank1995]

The people who are saying he may have died after receiving two jabs etc.

Isn't that like saying someone died in a car crash because a tree branch crashed through the windscreen and if he wasn't wearing a seatbelt he could have moved out of the way. Therefore the tree killed him??

Sorry.......no argument there. He died because he was a "look at me" knobber.

[Prudie]

He was anti-mask and I'm pretty sure I've not seen overwhelming stats showing how mask wearing has prevented covid. If there are they must be from last year before any vaccine programme started.

[bhg481]

Leon - so what would you say to the people who died because they had the jab? (if you could).

[bobbinwales]

It seems he was more than an antimasker though prudie. He was anti covid tyranny and mitigation measures including vax and lockdowns social distancing etc

[LeonBlank1995]

I would tell them...............there once was a guy who was fat and smoked.

He changed his life style and got struck by lightening when he was running to the greengrocers to buy some fruit.

Therefore, his healthy lifestyle killed him. If was still fat and smoked he would be here now.

I hope that makes sense.

[youngmafbog]

I think you will find what a doctor might say is dependant on the person you are talking to.

//but the stats are overwhelming //

Yes they are, if you are old or with an underlying illness I would say its very definitley in your favour for na vaccine.

But for people under 30, and definitely children, the stats say quite different. In fact there is now thoughts that catching it and getting anti bodies is better than a vaccine.

Of course, the biggest problem is that is it new and the medical profession are learning every day so as with all things only time will tell, both for Covid and for the vaccine (and it is too early to know the long term effects - obviously)

// I realise some still think the starts are fiddled or there's an agenda//

An agenda, generally no I'd agree there. Although we shall have to see if the Government relinquish the totalitarian powers they have awarded themselves first. Governments dont like doing that generally.

Stats fiddled, well there are lies, damned lies and statistics. This is one of the areas that really bug me with Covid. The stats produced are often misleading in the way they are presented and its my believe there was no need to and it is this that is providing ammunition for conspirator theorists.

If only the Government were open and honest, but then they were out to scare the living daylights out of everyone.

[bobbinwales]

These threads never change anyone's mind and just sound a bit like taking pleasure in others misfortunes. The deaths of anti vaccers or conspiracy theorists won't change the minds of like minded people either. They will still be anti vax as they think there untouchable or believe there's a wider issue of state control

[youngmafbog]

Stickybottle.

I see you have no regard for personal freedom.

So, when you forcibly inject someone and they die from it what would you do?

I have been vaccinated by the way.

[Prudie]

There is nothing in the article that suggests he was anti-vaccine (although he probably was) but vaccination is not mentioned at all - therefore surely your 'overwhelming stats' must refer to what's in the article - mainly masks.

[youngmafbog]

//They will still be anti vax as they think there untouchable//

And your not listening to the other side at all either are you?

[LeonBlank1995]

Schadenfreude is a good feeling sometimes Bob. Albeit wrong maybe.

Did I cruelly laugh when the leader of British BLM was shot by a black gangster drive by shooting?
