13492348, why does it bother you so much

that Handle is COVID cautious? It is getting borderline creepy.


Every accusation/critique/whatever you throw at him can go back at you.

You are in here questioning him, "trying to provide balance" (LOL!), etc.

Telling him to get therapy.

Dog, maybe you should see a therapist about why Handle's COVID practices are on your mind so much.


What's worse is the motivation. Handle is trying to be safe and keep others safe. Even if you think he's overdoing it, he means well.

You are in there thinking you are the Elon Musk of this joint speaking for a silent majority that doesn't exist.

In other words, you're just in here being an asshole.

Yeah, you haven't thought this through.

Obviously, myocarditis is not the only risk of actual COVID so your argument is complete bullshit.

COVID has other risks- especially for certain groups.

It is also a novel virus and we don't know the long-term implications.


For instance, a lot of research these days that EBV infections can lead to all kinds of serious complications, chronic illness, autoimmune disorders, etc.


As someone who found out a few years ago that he has one of those illnesses, lets me break it down for you and your future therapist-

1. When you get a diagnosis that changes your life, you tend to look at the entire medical industry very differently. You go from "meh I'm healthy I don't need a flu shot" to "maybe this new drug will help stop this illness I have and I guess I should trust my doctors"....in other words sometimes life forces you to throw that tough-guy/just asking questions shit out the window.

2. Sometimes the risks of a medicine is scary as shit- but not as scary as not taking it. Given all the potential complications of an actual COVID infection, the very, extremely minor risks of the vaccine are clearly worth it to a lot of people. Especially those high risk. Especially those who actually know shit about myocarditis beyond it being a scary word on twitter.

3. You might not want to tempt fate with a novel virus. If I recall, you believe or are at least very open to the idea that this thing was created in a lab. Weird that you are also so dismissive of anyone concerned about catching an experimental virus.

The math isn't mathing.

4. If you can avoid any virus that hangs out in your blood vessels, nervous system, etc...best be safe and do that.

5. Family doctors are not specialists. So if someone says "my Doc says don't sweat the vax" it is very reasonable to know more about said Dr's background. Because Drs are absolutely capable of being political, opinionated, and assholes. Like the family dr who told my elderly parents- both high risk heart patients- to take their masks off during a visit at the height of this shit and before vaccines or treatments.

It is okay to question doctors sometimes. Someone had to graduate at the bottom of these classes.

>medicine. none of them are as worried as you.

Ohhh slick burn. He's already said he works in medicine or around it.

And we all "know people in medicine" they are called doctors. So Handle can't question someone's doctor, but you can?


Maybe he's high risk. Maybe a family member is high risk. Maybe he just doesn't want to get COVID infections over and over again.


you are a
>hypochondriac.


Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. But why does it bother you so much?

i don't think people should listen to your
>advice about covid. your concern is excessive and you are
>incapable of looking at things objectively
>

Get up and go look in a fucking mirror. You are the exact same- expect your motivation is unclear at best and completely fucked up at worst.


I've gone back and forth with Handle on plenty of topics. Blue Maga. How this administration ultimately fucked up their COVID response. Etc.

Hell, you want to fight it out with him over the lab leak stuff start a new thread and go for it.


But this shit in here about this COVID concern, etc is fucking weirdo behavior. If you don't like it, stay out of the fucking thread.

Plenty of people clearly appreciate the updates. Most of us are just trying to read his updates.

Go pop a Vitamin C and a Zinc and open a new thread or some shit. Enough with the weirdo behavior. Its officially gotten old.
