Im covering the Sarah Palin/New York Times trial set to start today in the SDNY. Judge Rakoff says he learned last night that Palin has tested positive for COVID. She is, of course, unvaccinated, the judge notes.

(10,154 posts)It evolves very quickly and changes. Well, I guess idiots like Palin don't believe in evolution either.
So you may develop immunity to one type of the virus. But once it evolves into another type, your immunity is long gone or doesn't recognize the newly evolved virus.
That's what happens when you're too dumb to think things through. Too bad she has already reproduced. Her genes will be of little value to human kind.

(14,570 posts)And yet, like a good little right-wing lemming, she chose NOT to get vaccinated, believing in 'herd immunity,' and now here she goes again. I just cannot wrap my head around why someone wouldn't get vaxxed. I mean, yeah, if you're pregnant or something, then hold off, but get it done as soon as you can, you know?

(28,339 posts)Unless they have an extraordinary medical reason not to and are advised by their OB not to - - EVEN THEN, I would STRONGLY suggest getting a 2nd opinion.
COVID during pregnancy is DANGEROUS. The vaccine is safe.

Quitting because everyone won't think just like them is weak-minded & simply ridiculous.

(51,280 posts)Palin encouraged others to "rise up" by refusing to be vaccinated.
Be careful what you wish for, Sarah.

Eyeball_Kid
(7,430 posts)Sarah will be too exhausted to get out of bed to take a piss. That's what COVID does to the lucky. If she ends up in an ICU, she also has the opportunity to say "over my dead legs." Amputations are sometimes needed to save lives.
DBoon
(22,356 posts)once it is "over my dead body", you will not be infected again with Covid

(17,199 posts)so after she recovers she'll be telling people to get the vaccine.

(13,009 posts)If she recovers she will not change course.

(47,399 posts)"She is, of course, unvaccinated"? He's got her number!
surprised the judge said that.
thesquanderer
(11,986 posts)...and she'd use that as grounds for mistrial if things don't go her way. But based on post 11, if she made her anti-vax position widely and publicly known anyway, then I think there would be no issue with the judge alluding to it.
Rebl2
(13,492 posts)Still probably should not have said it.
PatSeg
(47,399 posts)Of course, maybe he is tired of right-wing nuttery taking frivolous lawsuits to court. Palin might have been the final straw for him.

(15,220 posts)First, does she really have it or is it an excuse not to go to court. Second, I bet the odds are pretty good that shes actually vaccinated and boosted. Third, she will have access to treatment if needed.
All three options piss me off at the moment.

(4,552 posts)Then they want a hospital bed and a ventilator with around the clock care. Suddenly they trust science?
Yo if you don't trust science then stay the fuck home and die. Stop putting our healthcare heros at risk.
We would have this scurge under control if the right would trust science.
I am not dancing on their graves I am disgusted with them. They disgust me. They are easily led stupid filth.

Of course, she did!
What happened to all that natural immunity, I won't live in fear and Covid is a hoax?
Covid doesn't give a damn what you believe. It's just looking for a suitable, unvaccinated host to carry on, carrying on.
Science.

Ms. Palin. She's been such a positive role model for young women the world over.
