But you took medical advice to take all the jabs because?

Still trying to push that falsehood? I had had the first dose because based on the available information at the time I thought it was a reasonable decision. However, after a grew an 11th toe I decided that I'd forego the boosters.

I get it, I'm not disagreeing with you, just stating my reservation.

Go back to the Covid section and read what you wrote. You said in not so many words that you do what your doctor tells you to do and he told you to take the jabs. Two doses and then boosters + flu shots. So, you only took one Jab? How many jabs did the children have to take to get into a Big U? I will answer for you. They & Them said you MUST be fully jabbed (all of them). It's insane dude and you know it. RFK Jr is the right guy for this job. Plus watty, he's helping locate 500,000 missing kids.

That may be your experience, but my experience is different. Before DEI was DEI in the early 90's, I was with a firm doing a ton of work for the government (RTC) and in order to earn the work we had to use minority subcontractors regardless of their qualifications. Most of the work they did, we had to redo. We eventually had to just use the minority firms in an administrative role as opposed to technical roles. We had very qualified minority employees; however, the minority firms were effectively just slapped together to take advantage of the government requirement.

This is an example of what the policy produced being very different from the intent. The road to hell …
 
Little liar Greta with her shipmates on her way to GAZA to bring aid. This little actor is everywhere. Climate hoax and now this hoax. Good luck everyone. Ukraine is going all in and now attacking hard, right after Lindsey left. Oh joy, more war!!!

It can't last years, voters don't have that kind of patience. If it's truly being used as leverage, which I believe, he needs to get results in short order. The Dems can't have any Trump win so they went to the trade court for what is effectively a bureaucratic violation by Trump. This undermines Trump's leverage (as intended by the Dems), so yes SCOTUS needs to rule quickly.

Like a said before, I'm not stoked about the tariffs, but I'm willing to give a Trump a few months to see if he can leverage a deal.

I’d guess results will continue trickle in slowly - both with trade agreements and investments in US manufacturing. I’d also guess Trump’s negotiating leverage increases with each new agreement and the pace of trade agreements will accelerate.

Now, I won’t be buying and selling on these guesses. The only good buying advice I have is buy Elon’s companies on dips due to bad press coverage.

There have been large studies in different countries on autism and vaccinations and no credible link has been found.

StudyLocationSample SizeKey Finding
Madsen et al. (2002)Denmark>500,000 childrenNo association between MMR and autism
Taylor et al. (2014, meta-analysis)Global1.2 million+ childrenNo link between vaccination and autism
Jain et al. (2015)U.S.>95,000 children, including siblings of autistic childrenNo increased risk of autism, even in high-risk families

For reference

The claim that started the vaccine-autism myth came from a 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, which has since been:
  • Retracted by the journal The Lancet
  • Debunked by further research
  • Discredited due to ethical violations and financial conflicts of interest
  • Wakefield was stripped of his medical license

On a broader front, the increase in diagnosis of autism is true across multiple countries and while there could be some, as yet unknown, external factor or factors, the generally held opinion is that testing, reporting and diagnosis is just more stringent now.

CountryHistorical Rate (1990s–2000s)Recent Rate (2020s)Notes
United States1 in 150 (2000) → 1 in 36 (2023)~2.8% of 8-year-olds (CDC)One of the most aggressive diagnostic/reporting systems
United Kingdom~1 in 200 (1990s) → ~1 in 57 (2021)~1.8% (ONS & NHS)Broadening of criteria and strong advocacy contributed
Canada~1 in 150 (2003) → ~1 in 50 (2022)~2.0% (PHAC)Rates vary by province; access to services influences diagnosis
Australia1 in 200 (1990s) → ~1 in 65 (2022)~1.5% (ABS)Increase aligned with changes in DSM-5 adoption
France~1 in 500 (2000) → ~1 in 100 (2022)~1% (Santé Publique France)Historically underdiagnosed; catching up
Sweden1 in 160 (2000s) → ~1 in 45 (2020s)~2.2%National health registries give more consistent tracking
Norway~1 in 200 (1990s) → ~1 in 50 (2020s)~2%Diagnosis generally follows DSM and ICD trends

Wrong again. My daughter went to school that didn't require vaccinations. She had a concerning advise reaction to the vaccination. I couldn't give a shit what shots people get or got, and I care even less about the people who virtue signal about it either way. Quite frankly its none of your, or anyone else's, fucking business.

Triggered? I never said anything about your dd. I said "children." Parents are so defensive these days because? It sure was people's business when they mandated jabs or get fired.

Boss: Are you fully jabbed?

Worker: No

Boss: You're fired

Or

YNT and most sports teams: Are you fully jabbed

Young teenage player: No

YNT: No invite

Or

President Biden to the military: Are you fully jabbed?

Soldier: No

Biden: You're fired

It was everyone's business watty now it's no one's business. Too funny.
