You forgot to take into account that the Netherlands has a bunch of morons as leaders.

The new restrictions are just completely arbitrary, which doesn't really help their cause. But I'm pretty sure too many people are just not interested in following all those restrictions because some dumb antivaxxers are in the IC.

What probably pisses me off the most is that the government tried to sell this as a 3 week lockdown to get things back on track. They already knew it was going to be a super long lockdown. I think people that lie like that shouldn't be in politics.

You should get into politics, so that gradually the constraints of the job will turn you into what you hated

If it turns out we need periodic boosters, I'm all for it. It's not like it's something that's unheard of.

I genuinely had zero side effects from the pfizer vaccine. Especially the 2nd dose didn't affect me at all.

I have faith in the vaccine and I survived the virus without it anyway
Then why do you need the vaccine? I did survive the virus without it as well.

@Jotunir dont like my posts
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

Lockdowns were a way to get the virus under control while the magical vaccine was developed and distributed. We have the magic vaccine now so it's fine, the virus doesn't matter

Passengers from the two flights who tested positive were taken to a hotel where they will stay until declared coronavirus free, officials said, unless they live alone in the Netherlands, in which case they were taken home. People with a negative test are also supposed to go into quarantine for at least five days.

C.U.R.E. Pfizer wants to now make new vaccine and earn another 100 billion. Ready for round 2?

Magical thinking is a type of fallacious thinking and it's a common source of invalid causal inferences. Correlation does NOT imply causation.

Correlation does imply causation. That doesn't always mean there is a causal connection between two correlated variables, but the fact that these variables are correlated implies there might be a causal connection.

it's sad.

But my main social activity is just going to some friend's place and hanging out there. That's something they aren't restricting yet, you can still be outside in the evening too (unlike last year).

It implies that there might be a causal connection, sure, but it doesn't imply a causal connection outright. So it's correct to say correlation doesn't imply causation.
(Our definitions of "imply" may be different)
