          some people get through trauma with various flavors of emotive tools, including sarcasm and humor.

            I hear that “Gallows humor” excuse every single time and it’s only ever used so assholes can feel good about being assholes. It’s basically the “Women like getting r–ed” excuse that incels use to justify their shitty behavior. Yes sometimes they say that, but it’s not a justification.

            You know full well nobody here was saying that to “get through hard times” you’re all safe on your computers punching down at dead people.

            yeah, if they have a mutual emotional connection to the deceased. I don’t think these two ever met.

          I’ve seen interviews with this guy. He had a surprisingly bright outlook on life. I think he would have found this funny.

      Ain’t that a bitch. One virus took his body. Another took his life.

      Both are preventable through safe, effective, and widely available vaccines. Vaccinate yourselves and your children, friends.

        Currently COVID-19 is not preventable through vaccination on its own, especially not at the currently recommended once-per-year schedule, because they don’t last anywhere near that long.

          It is not preventable to get down with it, but the vaccines reduce its effects so much that even people with chronic breathing illnesses or organ transplants can handle it like a moderate flu. Mileage will vary from person to person, of course.

          Your direct point stands, but it is still a huge win for pro-vaccination.

        The COVID vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting COVID. It just mitigates the symptoms. You can still get it and spread it.

          In other words, it does exactly the same as any other vaccine…

          And what do you think people die from? The symptoms, knucklehead.

            I’m aware of that but the comment I replied to says the virus is preventable. You really think I understand how the vaccine works but not what people die from or did you just need to make a degrading comment?
