So, you've witnessed multiple people on this thread call the unvaccinated 'plague rats'. Who have you witnessed calling people 'sheeple'?Right. “Sheeple” are such better targets.
How I do love right wing extremist hypocrisy!
Do you not see the irony of this (bolded)?
People with COVID should isolate like anyone else with COVID.
That you misunderstand how this disease works is quite clear to us all.
Many people on here cannot understand the difference between COVID status and vaccination status. They're not the same.
Of course it is being forced. That's what a vaccine mandate is. You and your fascist brethren don't want the unvaccinated to form their own associations. You and your fascist brethren don't want a grocery store to be able to say 'unvaccinated people welcome here'. You and your fascist brethren want a situation like Germany and Austria, with fines in perpetuity and/or indefinite house arrest for the unvaccinated. You and your fascist brethren advocate this openly. The only outrage that I have not seen anybody advocate is the government physically kidnapping citizens and forcing the vaccine on them. Presumably though some people advocate that, too.
That's not clear to me at all, actually. There's that other alternative I mentioned. I'm keeping my mind open, as it were.
English has no proper term involving humans, "plague rat" is the generic not limited to one species.
Oh for fuck's sake, if comparing humans to rats isn't dehumanising then fuck nothing could be. This is fucking ridiculous.
I'm sure you realize that pre pandemic, if you show up at your doctor's office with respiratory distress, coughing, fever, etc. that they test to see if in fact, you have influenza, right? Lots of people walk around carrying influenza virus but are not sick or are only mildly ill. Some do end up in the hospital and do die.
So every person who had COVID is pointing a gun.
And cockroaches.
I wasn't able to visit my unvaccinated brother last year in his house, because he was unvaccinated. (I was fully vaxxed at the time).
the mostly vaccinated who encourage others to not be vaccinated.
Non. Toni and others have been using the term 'plague rat' to refer to the unvaccinated in general, in this thread and previous threads.
Toni used the exact phrase "the mostly vaccinated who encourage others to not be vaccinated".
In what way is it not "working as advertised"?
Hey, all you lot, ZiprHead Jimmy Higgins, TomC, crazyfingers, Elixir, who have among you if this is your intent to have used "plague rats" to discuss any being that could be described vaguely as 'human or humanlike' perhaps to include actual rats...
What, you mean like AIDS? Or Influenza? Or, well, pretty much every single disease in human history?

FTFY. But then again the vaccine wasn't designed for omicron. But you knew that, didn't you.
I bet he tells his wife not to bother with those pesky mammograms. No need to worry until symptoms become apparent.
Yes, please. Let's focus on your petty complaint about names instead of focusing on a disease that's killing thousands of people a day. Need to focus on the important stuff, right?
But moreover, we can agree going forward to just use such terms as "plague rat" to discuss specifically those malicious actors who spread plague for their own sick amusement, and reserve more loving words for their victims?
The dehumanising of people is a precursor to persecuting them. But, even if it were not, why the dehumanisation?
I think personally that prosecuting those malicious actors who spread plague for their own sick amusement is entirely warranted.
You are free to do as you please, obviously. But I'm sure you'll still respect their pronouns when you dehumanise them.
The fact is, those malicious actors who spread plague for their own sick amusement, are doing something disgusting and evil.
What do you mean by ‘having COVID?’ Do you mean feeling ill? Do you mean having an asymptomatic infection?
What's ridiculous is attempting to have an intelligent discussion with someone who says they support mandates for clean water but oppose mandates for vaccinations. Maybe you should give us a list of current mandates you oppose and current mandates you support. Then maybe we could understand where you are coming from.
I don't know about Oz, but in the U.S.A. it's the Communists vs the Fascists. Fascists vs fascists would be just too confusing. And please, amidst all the repetition of "brethren" let us don't forget the Communist Sisters — in the recent election, gender was one of the strongest predictors of voting: Sisters voting for the Communist D's; White Brethren voting for the Fascist R's.
Does Mr. Swizzle just jump, like Pavlov's dog, from one non sequitur salivation to another? Has he already forgotten that Covid-19 is the 3rd highest cause of death in the U.S., behind only heart disease (#1) and all forms of cancer combined (#2); and is well ahead of all accidents combined (#4) and strokes (#5)? Covid-19 has killed 1.2 million in the U.S. and almost 8 million worldwide. (I've multiplied official numbers by 1.4 and, previously, linked to journal articles showing this to be a good multiplier to account for deaths due to unreported Covid-19.)
Yeah, it's pretty clear. The Communist Nazis (whom Metaphor calls the "fascists" to distinguish them from the "Fascists") are building gas chambers already, starting with the one in the basement of that infamous Virginian pizzeria.
I didn't realise I was a neo-Nazi now. I hope they don't discover my Limited Edition West Side Story Blu-Ray when I host the meetings at my house. That might be deeply embarrassing for me.
Yes, how ridiculous of me. If you support any mandate of any kind, it means you must support all mandates.
Are you asking yourself that? You are the one that opposes mandates so tell me.
