Vaccine

Dominic said:
Great article!
Many of the Covid recovered were exposed to the virus as essential workers during the height of the pandemic before vaccines were available. They kept the rest of society afloat, processing food, delivering goods, unloading ships, picking up garbage, policing the streets, maintaining the electricity network, putting out fires, and caring for the old and sick, to name a few.


They are now being fired and excluded despite having stronger immunity than the vaccinated work-from-home administrators that are firing them.

They also have decriminalized shoplifting and other similar crimes and so retailers are saying enough and moving out due to losses.

I have something to say regarding this. I'll put it on the "Bad News Thread". I'm seeing things I haven't seen before and I am wondering whether it is also happening elsewhere.

More personality over policy nonsense.

Let me try it this way by combining the two. Trump had a very clear record. Given his extensive list of policies and accomplishments, specifically where on that list, in order of importance to you, would you rank his personality and mean tweets?

I have asked this many, many times before and got crickets. What accomplishments? What policies?

Re the bats: In the natural derivation scenario, the bats would have infected pangolins as an intermediate host at a site other than Wuhan (southern Asia, Africa, etc), leading to a co-infection cycle of bat and pangolin C-viruses within the same animals. Scales from these pangolins, or possibly live animals, were then transported to markets in Wuhan where CoV-2 made the jump. Genome sequence comparisons support the idea there are segments of both pangolin and bat C-virus present in CoV-2, suggesting recombination between the two viral genomes occurred. Such recombination events are hardwired into the the C-virus replicative cycle and are part of the reason this group of viruses can evolve so quickly. Whether these recombination events occurred naturally at a site other than Wuhan or as part of a laboratory study conducted in Wuhan is an unresolved question. But whether the bats are native to Wuhan does not weigh in on it directly. A thing to keep in mind is that, no matter the sequence of events in this particular case, CoV-2 could quite readily have arisen through a relatively well understood natural process. As humans come into new contact with co-evolved natural host-virus relationships around the globe, some virologists are predicting that we will be seeing more of these zoonotic outbreaks in the immediate future.

Bummer the State denied so many the opportunity for a natural viral update

So, it's a policy that is excluding minorities at a higher rate. You know the fear is off the charts when the left will support something like that. I'm thinking Jay-Z would conclude those supporting the mandates have no use for linen shorts.

US Presidential elections are a binary process. US Presidents are also a representative of, for better or worse, the character and stature of the nation. I think records are more important, but character counts too. Whether that's enough to cost or gain my vote depends on who the other side puts up against him. I'd prefer to have someone else in 2024 for the simple reason that I can guess on the likely D choice and I'd rather have someone with good policy and good character beat that D choice. The reality is, whether you agree or not, Trump is poison for many people, like my mom or my writer friend, both of whom are lifelong Rs, but are both NeverTrumpers.

Prior to 2016, I couldn't imagine someone with character so bad that I'd vote for Hilary Clinton. Then it happened. Based on how he handled himself after the election he lost, I am at peace voting for Hilary and a cardboard cutout over Trump. It never even got to policy with him.

Rs looked to have gained Hispanic( sorry LatinX) share in both NJ and VA

I hate that term

that’s not where Rs problems are. Trump made Hispanic gains too. Trumps problem is with upper middle class voters that look down on his character and his manners. Ds btw held onto the rich neighborhoods…they do private, like the immigration for cheap labor and houses, feel guilty so the wokensss, have fewer economic concerns.

1. economy was good. At least it wasn’t as horrible as it is now
2. No new foreign wars. No great foreign humiliations. Now we have afghanistan
3. Immigration was at least somewhat controlled. Regardless of your stance on reform its wasn’t the disaster it is today
And then 4. Conservative judges (which if you believe in expansionist constitution you’d hate but it’s still an achievement
5. Deregulation (ditto)

true there ain’t a great new deal. But that shows your bias. It’s the left and the Romney Republicans that are looking for the great solution. Most Americans just want competent govt, not be humiliated, nothing too extreme. It’s why bill Clinton did so well despite the character issue.

Ps but for covid trump probably still would have won. I agree with kicking though…his behavior post election has changed that too…made him even more toxic (yeah I know that’s hard to believe)

Not sure how you sleep at night ;) . You could have pulled my and Espola's fence sitter move and just abstained from voting for President. Your lucky your vote for President is meaningless in California, or our friendship would be on the rocks. I almost went libertarian in last election before I realized that guy was a few fries short.

Be honest, you just did it to save face with your neighbors. You need to get out of NoCal, you're being corrupted.:p:p:p
 
Interesting study being picked up by ny post. Will post later. But take away is deer are transmitting covid to each other (mink are the other ones we know of)…possible they can transmit to humans (unlike dogs and cats which are inefficient spreaders). Also interesting earliest sample is January 2020. Note Animal reservoir means zero covid not possible unless you also vaccinate or eliminate the animals.

IMO his greatest accomplishment may have been energy independence. Not just fuel costs but geopolitically that was a home run in my book.

I honestly don't care who anyone voted for. I just find it annoying when someone denies the truth for purely partisan reasons.
