If the virus kills 1% of its hosts and then becomes "more" transmissible it just means that more hosts get infected NOT that it is deadlier. It's not killing 2% or 20% more of infected hosts, it still has the same % of lethality. As for satiated lifeforms that does NOT solely refer to life such as mammals, reptiles, invertebrates, etc. "by becoming more deadly by having the ability to reduce the effectiveness of the virus thereby even infecting fully vaccinated individuals"~BC Uhmm did you even read this? Becoming more deadly by a reduced effectiveness of a virus? WTF? So a less effective virus is more deadly? (Not even remotely true) viruses are genetically predisposed to spread and a deadlier virus kills more hosts limiting their ability to transmit to another host making that strain die out quicker, a virus that doesn't kill or incapacitate its host gets transmitted more often and becomes the dominant strain. Quick acting viruses like Ebola generally didn't spread far since the infected host became too ill to travel and died. That's why looking at the maps of Ebola outbreaks shows tight clusters and not large swaths. Plus to be fair I did say in simplistic terms and yet I still have to explain it to you. Now about sarcasm and tact... You have based your replies on a funny meme yet you have taken the meme as gospel and based your entire argument on refuting it. As for the age issue I only replied to your insinuation that I was probably too young to know the tv show and possibly intimating a lack of experience.

I agree with you EODguy; but you're wasting your energy. Rational reasoning and logic, the ideas of personal rights, freedoms and bodily autonomy - they're all completely wasted on people blinkered by this manufactured culture of fear.

There is absolutely NO proof that the virus was manufactured. To those that say there is more evidence it is--evidence is not necessarily proof. The proof comes from evaluation of the evidence and that has not been done. Personal rights do not allow one to infringe on the personal rights or freedom of another. It is about doing the right thing, each of us doing our part to get the pandemic under control. It doesn't matter right now where the virus came from. it is about what we should do to stop the spread of COVID. That hasn't changed. Wear a mask, avoid crowds, social distancing, get vaccinated including a booster.
There are already lockdowns in other countries and preventative actions have started in the US. It seems to me that those that won't get vaccinated are the same ones that are adamantly against any mandated restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID. I can't find the logic. One is either a part of the problem or part of the solution. I have asked the following question before and it went unanswered: If you won't get vaccinated and/or follow the guidelines---How will the COVID pandemic be stopped? What is your solution?

Regardless of where the virus came from, the culture of fear has been manufactured. It's a tool used to gain power and control. This pandemic takes it to the next level but it's been going on for a long time.
Nobody has suggested taking away others rights and freedom other than those sitting in your corner. If you want to stay at home, avoid travelling, wear a mask - fine do it, it's your right to choose to do those things for yourself. But mandating these things for everyone by law, removing others ability to make their own personal risk assessment and choices, forcibly taking away their freedoms - that's wrong. As for 'being part of the problem or part of the solution', is anything ever that black and white? And who says we have to 'stop the spread of covid', who says we can ever hope to 'control the virus'. We've been living with these viruses for thousands of years, they are quite literally a fact of life. They eventually become more transmissible and less lethal - a seriously deadly virus is not a particularly successful virus. By interfering with it's natural development we're probably just making this worse and dragging it out for longer.

It is black and white in this case. If you aren't part of the solution you are clearly part of the problem. Same question---How are you part of the solution? What is your science based solution?

Personal rights have limitations as does freedom and bodily autonomy. It is clearly stated in the bill of rights.

A world wide pandemic, and you’re telling me, you are able to classify it soundly as black and white, with no variables. BC, you are better than your above statement.
