All of these say “complications from Covid” without defining what that means. |
It’s like a war zone in your lungs where the virus and your immune system fight it out and all the leftovers make it so you can’t breathe because the passageways that allow oxygen to cross over to your bloodstream are blocked with this detritus. Followed by organ failure and death. |
this thread is really depressing. i don't understand what republicans think they have to gain by being anti-mask and anti-vax. do they really believe it? or are they cynically ok with contributing to COVID deaths for political gain? why are people so angry with liberals/masks, etc that they're willing to risk their lives? it's like some kind of toxic rage has invaded people in this party and is making them irrational. Republicans-Do your civic, patriotic duty and convince people to wear masks and get vaccinated so that we can all move past this. At least post-vaccine, none of the people in this thread had to die. |
This isn’t news and reporters should stop “reporting” it. It was never promoted that Vaccines will keep you from getting/testing positive for Covid. The purpose of the vaccine is that if you do get Covid you will not get sick and die. This type of “reporting“ is only providing and excuse for folks to not get vaccinated. |
I’m not sure what you think was the point of the link, but for me it was that he’s an anti-mask fool (suing Pelosi)… and he has gotten covid for it. |
It means they died from complications of covid. That could be devastating strokes, that could be renal failure as a result of inflammation from covid, it could be your lungs no longer able to process oxygen. I’m not a doctor, but covid is awful. |
I take issue with the bolded. You may not have meant it this way, but it implies that infection is retribution for behavior you don't like. It isn't. He may have been against requiring masks on the House floor, but he was fully vaccinated. And many many fully vaccinated people have for months been following public health guidance and not wearing masks indoors. I agree with the PP that if we are going to keep this questionable thread going, it should be for instances in which true COVID deniers get infected. He clearly was not that. |
Please answer this - How many people did the rabidly anti-mask wearing Congressman infect while he was walking around, spewing his Covid germs everywhere? |
Take all the issues you want. He FAAFO. He’s literally suing Nancy Pelosi because he doesn’t like wearing a mask. You may not like it but delta is a different beast and vaccination isn’t enough. Here, I’ll warn you about this: since Republicans aren’t getting their vaccines and aren’t doing any of the measures that would stop or even slow the spread of covid, there are going to be worse variants. I really, really wish they’d stop politicizing this and just use common sense, but they won’t. This isn’t going to be over for a while and I’m PISSED. |
+1 A good chunk of the House Republicans are not vaccinated. That’s why the House has a masking rule but not the Senate. |
I have no idea how many, if any. Why? There was no new mask mandate in the House until 7/28. |
I am the PP you are responding to and I don't disagree with most of what you wrote. I too am pissed. And I agree with you that we should stop politicizing this- so why don't we do that? We should be mad at PEOPLE who refuse to vaccinate. This individual was vaccinated. And he didn't contract the infection as retribution any more than any other vaccinated person with a breakthrough infection. |
Ralph Norman is in good company with Marjorie Taylor Green, one of his co-plaintiffs, suing because they were asked to wear a mask that was mandated at that very time by the Congressional physician, “until everyone in congress has been vaccinated.”
Their appeal is based on believing mask wearing is idealogical, and I’d have to partly agree with that. For some reason, Republicans consider it unbearable to be asked to wear masks to help end this pandemic. They stand firmly against masking and until recently against getting vaccinated. This, this is what Ralph Norman spends time on. |
