I think the only disconnect we have is that I think different people will take this story in different ways. Some of the people in this thread I think are in the minority that is very worried about covid and the real effects its having on them or their loved ones and to them this article isn’t sensationalist.

Generally I agree with you though, most people will take an article like this as proof that the media is always full of shit and fearmongering for money and that feeling isn’t unfounded.

I think that as long as its still spreading pretty regularly, which it is, I know its not the same as in 2022 but there is still spread happening in lots of places. As long as thats happening theres a chance of mutation and if someone with a bad mutation goes to an airport or a sports event that could trigger a surge at any moment. Its impossible to predict this stuff so I understand being skeptical of headlines especially because media always fucks up science stories. But like I said with the spread and mutations happening we don’t know when but its likely that there will be spikes or surges at some point and that means preventable deaths and thats bad. Its not as bad as we’ve seen before but still bad.

Thanks for the explanation. I responded to you in another comment thread about this stuff so I won’t respond again here.

I like your disdain for journalists and capitalism and the state but sometimes stories stick around for a long time because they’re actually still on-going. Pandemics usually have multiple cycles. There usually isn’t just one big spread and that’s it. The fact that the state f’ed up the response to the initial wave just makes more waves more likely.

Journos are wrong a lot but not 100% of the time just like 95% lol

I think because you seem to be agreeing with the poster who is against masking? But I’m not sure because his post is removed now.

When you said

Because it generates clicks (and thus revenue) for media conglomerates.

What generates clicks?

I’m just asking because the post you were responding to got removed so I’m missing context

YOUR APPLICATION TO JOIN THE FALLACY POLICE HAS BEEN DENIED

we found that you have used too many logical fallacies in the past to properly represent our organization

do you have dementia? should we call your next of kin or something?

I can copy and paste a response to every comment you make as well. It doesn’t make you right, you just copypasta your response and move on. If that isn’t a logical fallacy I don’t know what is
