So we should give the non-scientists equal footing to the scientists? If I needed dental work done should I listen to the crackhead down the street or a dentist?

Crackheads could probably pull teeth at a reasonably affordable rate no matter what insurance you have. šŸ˜‚

He's been pro vaccine but I've never seen him actually challenge an anti-vaxxer like that before.

A lot of scientific credibility has been burned by a bunch of global warming charlatans. When you're making blacklists of dissenting scientists you're more like the church than Galileo.

Being anti-mandate is not the same as being anti-vaccine.

I agree. I have that stance. The tweet JLV shared can't be viewed now, so I don't know what was said. I just thought it was Trump being pro-vaccine, which he has always been.

New vaccine coming out, actually seems more promising to me. Offering protection against all SARS strains by using a different shaped protein is neat. Hope this one goes out to the public so I can finally get a vaccine I trust.

What documented cases of ill effects can you cite that made you think something would happen? I had both Pfizer shots and had a sore injection site and nothing else.

See page 5 for Guillian Barre possibility coming from J&J. My mom's side of the family has a history of GB and one reason we don't get flu vaccines.

Myocarditis in mRNA vaccines in male adolescents and young adults. Heart problems coming from Dad's side of the family doesn't make me feel safe taking an mRNA either.

Just got boosted! Seems like I'm getting much better 5G reception now!

You should have got Moderna. You get 3 times as much vaccine!

You mean this one right? It's interesting but I didn't understand why they couldn't just use a bunch of different vaccines instead of tying them all into one protein. As long as it works who cares though.

Since you've already had the actual virus you've pretty much proven you won't be one of the .001% of people who suffer from that side effect. Basically all of the vaccine side effects are there and more severe for the virus.

Welp, we've had our first Covid death here at work. Since the pandemic started, there was about ten cases with three incidents coming in pairs with one triple. None of them were hospitalized nor intubated. Lucky. Monday's death was someone who didn't get checked or hospitalized when they had symptoms. Denial is an ugly thing. In this case it was deadly. Just sayin'!

Do you think the Democrats' over the top attacks on guys like Cheney led to Trump?

I think what Cheney did was to wipe George H.W. Bush's ass by getting Saddam since Bush couldn't. Right when we should've redoubled our Bin Laden search, he forced Iraq on us. Going it alone with pathetically weak arguments. That is what got the most hate for starters. It ruined a generation much like Vietnam, but those veterans weren't nearly as abandoned. I think that administration made it's own bed and had to lay in it. However, people are getting misty about Dubya. Don't!!! Trump proved that when you pander to the lowest common denominator at a time when the left was foolishly overconfident in their winning, you had a lackadaisical left response and a stimulated right and the popularity contest was won. Perfect storm.
