Just got to the "mentally vacant" description and erupted in laughter, the photo helped, ( Christ, is she a real doctor? phew, no just a science reporter ) had to comment and I've not yet read the rest....
You are a true genius of the English language .
I just wish I could put together excoriating insults like you manage on a regular basis - how do you do it!
The devolution of vaxx spokemouths, from authoritative proclamations -- THOU SHALT TAKE THE VAXX OR THOU SHALT DIE -- to this insane and pathetic pilpul -- well you see if we look at the seven day incidence rate averaged over time and ignore any confounding variables then we can finally determine how many angels can dance on the head of a pin -- is the only thing about the Coronadoom spectacle that I have actually enjoyed.
Not to take away from your incredible post Eugyppius, but am I the only one who sometimes wishes I carried a sharp pair of scissors with me to be able to sneakily snip off these man buns? 😅
I had a moment yesterday: a conversation that felt so 2021. I was accused, by a couple I know for already a decade, for lacking solidarity by not being jabbed. You know I am a burden for the health care system and what not. They are actually not stupid at all and also in many other aspects very kind persons. But they genuinely believe that they have the right to dictate to other people what to do. To add to the absurdity of the situation she is morbidly obese and he is a very heavy drinker and a smoker. They are by no means an exception in Germany. Maybe even the majority but this is a speculation.
I wonder if it is a social network kind of thing, that people now seem to have this idea that they are eligible to prescribe what the others should do. This is just ridiculous. It feels much more common that it was before but this might as well be my subjective perception. The greens are telling me to not eat meat, not travel and put up with all sorts of restrictions, the socialists expect from me more solidarity in terms of ridiculously high taxes, the christian democrats often disagree but pressed from 'the circumstances' end up implementing exactly the unified agenda of both evils.
They will not stop with their attempt to control life until life shakes them off.
At this point, listening to shills and hacks is just an opportunity to practice critical thinking skills. So they are of some service. They keep us sharp as they remain dull.
"In conspiracy-theory circles, people are already fantasising about “negative efficacy”, especially with regard to booster vaccinations, saying that the figures amount to proof that the vaccines are ineffective. "
The normie sees that and concludes 'Oh, they have it under control. It was the cONSHPeerASee TeAriST."
It's almost enjoyable to see this play out, especially for those of us who have looked at the data for nearly a year now and have seen the signals emerging. I do wonder, though, whether the sheer breadth of the buy-in will frustrate any real attempts to make these now obvious conclusions publicly accepted / acceptable, and whether any meaningful lessons will be drawn from all this.
At least Germany is talking about negative efficacy. Out here in the People's Republic of California, the "media" (which is really the propaganda arm of the Democrats) is still telling us that all the unvaxxed are gonna die, alone, unloved, because we haven't been purified by Pfizer.
I am still shocked (yes, even after over 2 years) that someone would write this:
"...is that there is no scientifically sound reason to assume that a high vaccination rate could be partly responsible for a high incidence." --This is demonstrably false, and easy to prove with multitple studies, unless the real quibble word is "partly". Because, as has been shown iver the last year, the vax isn't partly, but wholly responsible for the increase in infection.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. You can lead a journalist to facts, but you can’t make them think.
Awesome. You are now officially a threat to the narrative. Congrats.
Neither pascal nor anna are "professional stupid people."
They are naturally born stupid people who both have a job that perfectly matches their skills.
Lord, I pray, teach me patience.
BUT DO IT NOW!!!!!

You should devote more time on this, and try to analyse further and see what comes up
You are taking flak On this. You are on target as they say - bombs away

O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.
And God granted it.

Checked out the article and noticed no links to any of these “studies”.

Cognitive dissonance/doublespeak at its finest.
Track this as it continues please Eugyppius.
Oh to have 5 minutes with either in a witness box...
I am a Lawyer, FWIW.

I wonder when people will be allowed to talk about vaccine escape. I saw this article in science (pre-Covid) freely discussing vaccine escape with flu vaccines. https://www.science.org/content/article/why-flu-vaccines-so-often-fail
I have seen the NY Times accurately mocked as a "viewpoint validation service" and I can see we are not the only country with this feature.
