You know people that had stroke and aneurysms after the vaccine? I don't know anyone with a complication.

What happened to them?

Anyone that gets the vaccine and is hurt, regardless of minimum time after getting vaccine, is listed for adverse reporting, as having received the vaccine and then experiencing a possibly adverse effect. You're not considered vaccinated for 14 days, this is for vaccine requirements for flying, for example.

@Schizophonia Is this not counter to how you regularly rag on here about the guys having low libido?

This status is only for the fact that covid can take 14 days to show. Not for adverse reporting. Vaccine is a preventive not a treatment, you'll still get sick if you already have covid.

You just want me to admit covid had a negative impact on a lot of people. I think that's pretty well universally accepted and i agree. Ya it precipitated or inflamed short and mid-term anxiety still going on. Our society is already overly anxious without covid though, I don't see covid as having been a real game changer. Our financial system is a house of cards, this causes widespread anxiety, covid irritating that was just that, an irritant that was combined with a juvenile response to covid, exacerbating the financial flaws.

If you start another thread I'll reply. I hate corporations, tax them to smithereens.

I was being sincere, your feelings are legitimate if you were harmed by covid. I agree with the doctors, but still as I said, it's relative. The deaths and long covid were the biggest strain on society. The people that aren't sick, I don't believe were harmed much.

Still on the ad hominem kick I see...

I was pointing out the indoor culture here. I mean, baristas are striking at Starbucks too... people like to whine. Lol, Google "slum" and then get back to me about these Australian kids locked out of school.for 5 months. Where is this person at that I dismissed their feelings? You're hurt by covid, I don't mean to dismiss your suffering, please share.

Humans are not fragile napkins. Trials and tribulations, hard times, are things that grow people.

20%, I'd say, you disagree? I go to parks in a major city. And most of the families there are 1st generation immigrant. Australia is different than the u.s., but Americans spend a lot of time indoors.

I mean, apartment parents already suck, most of those kids are already screwed. You think apartment parents take their kids to the park every weekend, what percent of apartment parents ever take their kids to the park? Just a guess.

Obviously read more books and play in the yard, bike, skateboard,.... Lock down is OVER. LIMIT SCREEN TIME

Do you know any kids? I do, and they're very intelligent, very socially adjusted, they're amazing, and they were city kids locked down during covid

MFer, what the fuck are parents for, take the screens away, jesus.

Do you know how many kids are retarded by screens? Far more than covid.

It's relative, kids are/were already fucked up in the way you're worried about.

The longest closure I see is 5 months, not 2 years. Summer vacation is usually 3 months.

Absolutely, but not stopped or appreciably encumbered by two years remote.

Listen, I don't hate education, I LOVE education. But you, place too much importance on our education system, it does not cure cancer, it does not do most things, people do, people that learn novel things because they themselves figured something out, with the help of education but not purely because of the education system. It's a tool, not utilized correctly by most, only by a few positive innovators in which MOST credit is due to them PERSONALLY and not the system.

Are you a socialist? Do you think the ivy league produces CEOs and stock traders, or how many people that cured cancer have they produced? I'm an environmentalist, fuck aeroplanes, fuck chemicals.

Lol, I guess the ivy league is the worst education then. I think public education is great - if the parents teach the kids how to learn...... Ivy league malcontents "Donald Trump attended two colleges: Fordham University and the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated from the Wharton School" "JD Vance went to The Ohio State University (graduating in 2009) and Yale Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor " "Peter Thiel attended Stanford University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy and a law degree" "Elon Musk went to Queen's University in Canada for a couple of years, then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), where he earned dual bachelor's degrees in Physics and Economics from the Wharton School" "Mark Zuckerberg attended Harvard University,"

"Less" than very little is of no concern to me. Kids don't learn much from school anyway. If you're not a parent teaching your kid, and teaching your kid to learn from reading books, the kid is going to be an idiot even if he lives at school. I just don't think daily school is that necessary for social development that two years off from in-person is worrisome. Most kids play with their friends over the internet regardless of covid anyway, they play video games over the internet, they text constantly, and snapchat. Nor are pre-covid people very socialized either, more "less" of shit socialization. You have an unrealistic image of pre-covid, people have been fucked even before covid.
