Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

[NavyDiver]

I've been giving this one a lot of thought over the last couple of weeks. I know a number of people who either won't have the jab, or only had it to retain their job. I also know a few people who are strongly against wearing a mask.

I don't consider any of these people "anti-vax" or "anti-mask". The ones I do however are those that choose to publicise or politicise their beliefs or let their opinion loudly be known to anyone within ear shot. They're not "pro-choice", they're "If you're not with me, you're against me".

I'm not going to judge you for not wanting the jab, although I always find there's an interesting discussion there if it can be held in a dispassionate and analytical manner. Unfortunately in today's society, finding people you can have those dispassionate discussions with is becoming increasingly harder. A bit like I love a good religious or political discussion, but being able to hold one without being condemned for holding a different opinion is getting less frequent.

I would like to discuss this with you face to face! By a pool or beach with a cool drink in WA pretty please. Now I am dreaming. Such is life. PS I see WA is up for a scorcher for Xmas

Sorry if I was flippant in vax debates John. As a walking volunteer experiment/Covid Nova vax drug trial many would think justifiably that I am nuts. Noting Two Astra Zucchini. Two Nova Vax of unknown volumes and now a Fizer in me

I can prove I am nuts Sir. I just lined up 23 fairly large medal which I like but not as much as my service one

The running ones total over 1000km and if I add the training fun I suspect legs have gone well over 5000km running in the last 8 years and a lot more before the addiction bit me. The service one probably had me sailing tens of thousand kilometers in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. I skipped the Atlantic

Our choices are worth considering.

On an Investment site a lot of investors get grumpy with Negative perspectives. I think they are helpful as it helps us re assess evidence or views in light of the alternative views.

Its always worth while considering growing evidence. It has and does change.

J1 Flippant? Not on your Nelly. Always a proper Gent I have found.

BTW The Green Hornet & Ned Kelly wore masks & I didn't hear them complaining.

Come on over then! There's a few thousand miles of border, I reckon you could pick a spot and run over. Sure, it's a bit further than you're used to running but to offer you a bit of incentive I'll put the beers on.

If the Rozzers spot you, you could easily hurdle the "Rabbit Proof Fence" & keep on going West. (There's a joke if I have ever heard one.) There may be a slight delay as you queue behind the rabbits awaiting their turn to go through the holes..

Thanks, James, but it wasn't you. It just happens so often generally. And it happens here, from folk I otherwise like. It needs to stop. If I was, for example, a Mormon ( I'm not ) this forum would not allow comments on that. It certainly would not allow personal comments. The Mods would come down hard. Being Mormon is a belief. One people take seriously. My belief is no different. I take it seriously, and I have no wish to debate it with anybody. I have multiple sources of info that bolster my belief, and they are most certainly not frivolous as someone has suggested. I also have medical opinion that these "vaccines" ( They are not, but that's something to leave alone here ) would be something for me to avoid.

There has been a proper vaccine developed at Flinders University that is protein based, and it has been authorised in a number of countries, but not here where it was developed. It is proven effective against ALL strains. If the TGA would authorise it I would have it. However, I am not going to be bullied into having something I distrust injected into me. That is only common sense. I've had a bad reaction to the common influenza vaccine. Never again.

In the OKA I could simply drive over the thing.

There's a theory that suggests that for every protester there are ten who agree. I am proud to say that I was there. And frankly, I don't give a **** what some people, who should know better, think.






There is a Norwegian cruise ship, somewhere off the coast of Louisiana, with 3200 fully vaccinated people on board, with multiple cases among them. Vaccines worked for them, right?

Since the evidence and science is clear on the covid vax’s then sorry but anyone who can’t sift out the BS on farceplant etc that produces such confirmation bias then anyone who is anti covid vax for whatever reason needs to rethink things.

There is nothing experimental about any of the vaccines, just proven science with more man hours committed to them than any previous vaccine in history - it’s just been done in such a short timeframe because of the 10’s of 1000’s of Scientist etc working around the world, around the clock in a unified manner to get it sorted. Smallpox, Polio and others never came close to having this sort of scrutiny and testing applied to them but we all had those and saved millions of lives over the decades with it, but now social media is here and a few tin foil hat wearing muppets pound the keyboards we don’t trust the science now? WTF???

No conspiracy, no experiment, nothing - time to build a bridge and get over it rather than bleating about it FFS.

Sick of whinging people slowing things up because they don’t like being told what to do - Grow up and act like an Adult.

Rant over - go get a jab.

The science is settled, hey Gav?? Worked well for Rudd.
