Vaccine

It follows zero science. This insanity is making organizations more dumb than they were before. US Soccer demanding 13-14 yr old healthy girls be vaccinated for a YNT camp, the NCAA doing it's thing with vaccine mandates. The level of ineptitue in the face of clinical data is astonishing. Check to see how many healthy U18s have died in the UK. Also check out how many U17s have died of pneumonia VS covid over the last year. And before panties get in a wad, stratify the data to sift out comorbids. The resulting data is pretty clear and provides parents the information needed to make a decisions on vaccinating a child under your care.

Vaccine mandate implemenation struggles once you gain access to information. I suppose the issue is that many people are more dumb than they should be ...especially with "100s of thousands of kids in the hospital, many on ventilators" headlines floating out of the mouth of educated people. If that were true, the calculus would change...but it's not, not even close and has never been.

Where did you see that headline?
 
The arrogance from Dr. Fauci never ceases to amaze me. It may very well be that the Senator is a moron. In fact, I quite readily would believe it based on the questions asked. It may very well be that the question was stupid and the information is publicly available (though surprisingly we never get an answer where). But this is conduct unbecoming a civil servant against one of our elected representatives who are entitled to ask stupid questions as part of their watch dog approach. Again, not understanding the Biden politics of this all...why go off message and pivot to election reform and the fillibuster at a time when people are so focused on COVID and then let these two go off the way they did today without throwing them under the bus for what the public (rightfully or wrongfully) consider a covid policy misstep (or disaster, depending on how you want to characterize it based on your political leanings)? I thought the Trump administration was bad at politics qua politics (the actual admin of political policy, managing legislation and elections and messaging it to the public) but this is just horrible horrible stuff. The wheels are off the Biden admin.

The Senator in question repeatedly asked for Fauci's financial disclosure information, and Fauci answered each time that it is a public record, accessible to anyone. At some point in that exchange, the Senator qualified as a moron.

I told you I don't really care if he is or he isn't (quite frankly I'd readily believe based on his other questions he is....considering his staff wrote it up too and he's reading it that would make his staff, much like Sotamayor's clerks, idiots too for not prepping their boss properly). The bigger question is why would he say it...it's conduct unbecoming for a civil servant....at a minimum the Biden admin should require him to apologize.
 

How could this be? Q'anon must be back on the rise, secretly taking over. Mabye JFK Jr. is coming back after all.
Where were the "real journalists" when this happened? Banned from Twitter no doubt.
 
Where's the "100s of thousands of kids in the hospital" part?
Ahh, I see..yes I inserted hospital where I should have inserted serious conditions. Must have been Freudian slip. I read conditions and subconsiously linked it to hospitals...i mean, the ventilator portion of the quote may have thrown me off. Or maybe she knows people who have ventilators at home.
 
Hah! It's a national thing apparently....supply chain collapse......welcome to the Soviet union people....if Biden thinks people care more about voting rights than this then he is completely off the reservation (and this affects people who don't have kids)....


I went to two stores today (Albertson's and Smart&Final). The shelves were as full as they usually are. The only thing I noticed that they were out of was covid rapid tests.

You also put an 's' on 100, the "many on ventilators" part is true, and the American Academy of Pediatrics is the source for the 100,000 children sick with covid.


It appears that in your zeal to criticize Justice Sotomayor by implying that she exaggerated the numbers you exaggerated what she actually said.

good catch, and it was in my zeal. someone like her should know better. 100,000 children are NOT in serious condition. Even the AAP wouldn't make a claim like that.

They did say this in the link you didn't read -- " There is an urgent need to collect more age-specific data to assess the severity of illness related to new variants as well as potential longer-term effects."

Anecdotally the only places I had heard of really empty shelves outside of the news was my bro in San Francisco, my uncle in Marin and friend in Washington DC, all of whom tweeted out pictures of the shelves. Our suburb was pretty good until the last few days (some empty shelves but not alot) and the local paper editor sent out some tweets with a picture. So my guess is this is a cascade as individual supply routes begin to collapse, the cities being hit before the suburbs before rural areas, but I don't really have anything to back that up other than a handful of newsstories. I figure I'll have a better idea when I get to the Vallarta tomorrow.

The other possibility is its certain well to do areas heavy with Covidians are hoarding and hunkering down in which case that's another point in the mass hysteria checkbox (is the bottled water going too....we back to full March 2020 in these place???) The other thing which lends weight to this theory is the freeways seem awfully light in Los Angeles right now....if I'm making practice in 20 minutes something is off.

Add another anecdote. Our local WF was less than well-stocked - not anywhere near empty but certain items were completely out - this weekend and had ridiculously long checkout lines. One of the workers indicated many are calling in sick. The store seemed unusually full but that happens when people are standing in line for over half an hour for checkout. Hard to tell if it is a supply issue or a hoarding issue.
