I think soc presents a tolerable individual argument unlike the total rubbish I'm used to hearing.

True anti-vaxxers are a lost cause. They have a deep level of distrust in government and institutions. It means you can't cite numbers or facts because they think they are made up. In my experience they are also on board with every notable conspiracy theory of the last 100 years. They don't just like that album, the whole catalog is superb.

They also do their own research which should be applauded but unfortunately they draw conclusions on evidence that they don't even understand. The 'sheep' listen to the doctors while they make an informed choice from a dubious pre-print scientific article (Which is highly ironic considering their distrust of science).

Gave it some thought this year and decided to just stop arguing with them. Neither party gains anything from it.

As someone on a different side of the fence (not an anti vaxxer, but someone whos not going to be taking the Covid shot) I have similar overall sentiments about much of the anti-anti vaccine rhetoric. Some of it is straight out of 1940s Germany and not just from Jim on your Facebook feed. Prominent politicians referencing anyone who hasn't taken the treatment as being dangerous or diseased. Low people who you wouldn't want near you. Thats before we've even gotten near mandates.

I've come to the same conclusion as you though. Its absolutely not worth engaging in the conversation 99% of the time. Which is a shame given the magnitude of what's going on right now.

And my sincere best wishes to you @soc123_au . My Uncle had MD. Its a merkin of an illness and I do my best to support orgs trying to get rid of it. You seem to have an outstanding attitude to it (something my uncle never managed) and more power to you.

Update on my vaccination.

Feeling a bit bluh, extra sore joints. But as yet no sign of transmitting either police radio, or an extra head.

Oh I will. Or when I start 'shedding'. I have no idea what 'shedding' though.

I had my 2nd dose a week ago. Unlike the 1st dose this one was all good.

Are you getting good 5G reception?

Getting right away from footy stuff.


Started my Christmas baking (for gifts) today. Have just put a tray of Shortbread in the oven. (more to come) and hopefully pictures later in the week, when they're all packaged up.

Wash your mouth out with soap, girlfriend. Christmas is 33 days away.

LOL. Not for me. I need to pace myself in regards to baking, (because these days things take a bit longer)

Christmas cards finished ready for the post (33) and have bought all Christmas gifts, just waiting for one to arrive (bought online)

I have just had my 3rd booster shot.

If I grow another head, I'll post a picture for show and tell.

If that happens silverdale will try to turn you into a tigers supporter

Don't put any ideas into his head, @murraymob.

Got my second shot a few hours ago, so far not too bad. My wifi seems improved, so thats a positive. Hopefully the 12 hour reaction isn't as bad as shot 1.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Hope you continue to do well Soc123.

Today is that last bit of baking for this round. I'm making some chocolate fleck biscuits.

I will be doing up large platters for my local doctors surgery, my hairdresser and a smaller one for my podistrist. Later I will be doing baking for the family.

I've shared this to show I do more in life than talk and think about footy.

This is the first baby picture I've been able to look at without bursting into tears. Things are getting better

Congratulations to the entire Yeo family - You should be very proud.

The better half had it the worst - She's just recently out of a facility to help her with the grief and doing a little better.

Thanks for your kind words ladies. They are greatly appreciated.
