RFK is a different sort of quackery but there is lots of quackery to go round. It is interesting that other types of quackery are more readily indulged, like DEI, white privilege, asking men if they are pregnant when they show up to give blood, tampons in the men's room, men can be women etc.

Someone has gender issues.

RFK Jr. is definitely a "different sort" of quackery. One that will result in many deaths and much suffering.

Edge cases! It's better to ask men if they are pregnant than to assume you have correctly identified the gender of the person you are asking.

White privilege is quackery? Then I must be a duck, dude, because I am a white dude and have DEFINITELY been the beneficiary of structural white privilege. If you're white, you need to get out more.

TSwizz lives in Russia where there are few non-Russians. And only politicians and oligarchs are privileged.

Santa Monica is in Russia? Oh my.

Why does that bother you so much? Young people and kids especially are low risk for Covid-19.

For once I almost agree, given the situation.
The virus was far more lethal in its early forms. With experts like junior at the wheel, this ship has much bigger rocks upon which to founder.

Well it's obvious to me Swizz is a Russian T****. No matter where he lives.

That was a myth from early 2020. Spring break proved it wrong.
Us old farts are just higher risk.
There you go again spreading FUD.
Just like Rump. So much FUD, nothing you say can be trusted

But they are a high risk for spreading the disease.

Mosquitoes rarely suffer from malaria. That doesn't make it harmless for lots of infected mosquitoes to be flying around the place.

Young people and kids especially tend to interact a LOT with both each other, and their elderly relatives.

In fact, I addressed this exact issue in August of 2021:

Most of the spread in the current SEQ outbreak is amongst children, more than half are under ten years old.

We aim for complete contact tracing (including full viral genome sequencing) here, though the link between the index case in international arrival quarantine, and the first Indooroopilly SHS case (a 17 year old girl) remains a mystery. The genome sequencing gives us a clear indication of which international arrival is the index case.

We have had a full lockdown since 4pm on Sunday 1st, since which time there have only been two potential exposure sites identified (both pharmacies). There are dozens of such sites for the days leading up to the start of lockdown though.

Lockdown will continue until Sunday, but will be extended if there is the reasonable likelihood that someone was infectious but not isolated in the previous few days.

Queensland is determined not to end up like NSW, where "Gold Standard" Gladys Binchicken still apparently thinks you can come to a compromise deal with the virus, that allows people to go out to work but not infect others.

It's mostly being spread by children.

Or rather, it was. Now it's (so far) not being spread at all, though new cases are still being discovered from before Sunday's lockdown.

An interesting article about the way Covid Delta spreads in schoolchildren, from the Taringa/Indooroopilly outbreak here in Brisbane.

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/na...ts-lessons-for-australia-20210804-p58fmv.html

This outbreak is very well understood, with full viral genome sequencing and detailed contact tracing having been achieved for every person involved. This is happening in a city with no other Covid cases to 'muddy the waters'; Every case in Brisbane is directly linked to this single outbreak.

The remaining mystery is how the index case, a 17 year old girl, contracted the virus which was brought into Australia by two international travelers, both of whom were in quarantine. The leading hypothesis is that a medical student who is also the girl's tutor may have carried the virus from Sunshine Coast Hospital, where one of the overseas travelers was being treated, but that link has not been adequately demonstrated so far.

The vast majority of cases are at a half dozen schools, all of which are attended by children of upper middle class wealthy families in the inner West. One strange effect of this has been a significant doctor shortage in our hospitals, as many surgeons and medical specialists have been quarantined due to their children attending one or more of these schools.

It is very clear from this outbreak that, despite the disease usually being mild in children, they are very important and significant vectors, and a major factor in transmission to adult patients, where the disease is far more serious.

And those draconian measures - the mask mandates and lockdowns that supposedly don't work?

South Carolina population: 5.15million
Queensland population: 5.19million

Total South Carolina Covid deaths to 7 January 2022: 14,741
Total Queensland Covid deaths to 7 January 2022: 7

Queensland ended their lockdown at Christmas.

By maintaining a lockdown and mask mandate until a vaccine was available and distributed, the government of my state saved about 15,000 lives.

No it wasn’t a myth.

Us old farts are just higher risk.

Covid was very much a killer of the very elderly and those with compromised immune systems etc. young people rarely succumbed to it.

Children may get "long covid" with symptons including dysfunctional personality.

 

[Patooka]

I don't think TSwiz should take a vaccine for anything. I also think he should instruct all his doctors to never ever wear a mask.

Don't worry, the problem will sort itself out.

Most likely they won't get "long covid" (is that even a thing?) and dysfunctional personality? lol, whatever that means.

We still continue to run in circles rather than even make a reasonable assessment of the impact of long covid.

But I have seen estimates that at current levels covid-related disability could be the normal outcome of life.

That's no longer a reason for the vaccine. It does little to stop transmission these days, the benefit comes from the vaccinated generally getting much lighter cases than the unvaccinated.

Yes, it's a thing even though the waters have been so muddied that we don't have a reasonable assessment.

Our understanding of long covid reminds me of the era between the discovery of AIDS and the discovery of HIV. We still haven't identified the means by which covid causes lasting damage and thus we have vast finger-pointing and claims it's all made up and such. We do not have good data on incidence (but with the original strain I did see a thing where they figured the chance of complete disability was about equal to the chance of death. That might have changed with the newer versions, though.)
