Here is an example of someone who should have worn a mask. She caught a new variant of covid. The affects are terrible.
Agree. The media is driving the divide and as a country, we are allowing it by believing there's a "side" or a noble cause that is above unbiased, honest reporting. Again, if we thought it was difficult to get everyone moving in the same direction in this country - which it is - the reporting during COVID just made it that much more difficult.Again almost all the coverage of the the Prez was confrontational and took the opposite position of whatever he said.
HCQ? Crazy talk. Dangerous.
Lab leak? Crazy talk. Dangerous
Him getting advice from Fauci who thought this would go away? T's fault. Apparently shouldn't listen to what is told to him by experts, and so on.
And so on.
We would be much better off if we had an actual non partisan press. The next best thing would be for instance is that when you read the NY Times, you UNDERSTAND that you are essentially reading Dem talking points. And the same goes for almost any other news outlet left or right. Understand they are not non partisan. Unfortunately most of our press leans very far to one side of the spectrum.
That’s exactly what I mean. You went straight to the totalitarian state argument.It's also easy to slide down the slippery slope of "forcing people to do what is good for them". It's what the Chinese government does. It's what is done in North Korea. Asking is fine. That's different than forcing. Have they even gotten to the point where they are requiring the armed forces to get the vaccine? Unless your end goal is to truly split the country into two, forcing, excluding, and dividing is not a path to take. Don't let fear drive your decisions. Follow the science. If you are vaccinated, you are good.
To be honest with regard to T it began with their Russian hoax.Agree. The media is driving the divide and as a country, we are allowing it by believing there's a "side" or a noble cause that is above unbiased, honest reporting.

So they say. Let's revisit that statement in 6-12 months. I'm done talking about the mask and the vax. Please, go down the rabbit hole about the evil, evil treatment of kids, especially in the foster care system. Just wait, horrible and evil is understatement.It's also easy to slide down the slippery slope of "forcing people to do what is good for them". It's what the Chinese government does.

Who is saying that? Carnival is a non-monopoly, private entity. They can do as they choose as long as it's not discriminatory, or a violation of HIPAA. I happen to think its terrible business policy and suspect health policy to require vaccines. I'm not totally convinced either that the best way to address the issue is for DeSantis to legislate against vaccine passports.If vaccines are required for my Carnival cruise, then I must be living in one of President Xi’s gulags.
I like the fact that he has done that along with a couple of other states.I'm not totally convinced either that the best way to address the issue is for DeSantis to legislate against vaccine passports.
Blanket mandates by the government are my concern. It's a business decision for cruise lines. I'm not bothered by that. Keeping schools closed because of it would bother me. Extending a state of emergency is overreach.That’s exactly what I mean. You went straight to the totalitarian state argument.

It makes no sense, of course. It’s about as useful for polite conversation as comparing people to Nazis.
You mean with you being the Beacon of Liberty and Justice for all?That’s exactly what I mean. You went straight to the totalitarian state argument.
Totally get it and don't necessarily disagree, but I would have preferred negotiation over legislation. Maybe that was attempted and failed. This one is just a little more nuanced for me.I like the fact that he has done that along with a couple of other states.
It puts a brake on the desire of many to put impediments to things I want to do. I like freedom. And as we give it up a little here and there it starts to add up and become the "norm". The norm being why not do this? Etc. etc.
I didn't bring up authoritarian states. That was K&S.Who is saying that? Carnival is a non-monopoly, private entity.

Liar.I just pointed out that he was equating vaccine cards with forced labor camps.
Sample size is pretty darn small. Only 5% of participants were previously infected.
They were trying to draw conclusions from a sample size of 1220 previously infected but recently vaccinated patients. It is no surprise that they couldn’t get a significant result. The study was completely underpowered.
This is why their confidence interval was “0 to infinity” for the previously infected group. The data didn’t say anything this time.
You’d need a considerably larger study to say anything other than “we don’t know.”. Preferably in India, where you can find out about the value of the vaccine against a new variant.
I really wish they would stop printed underpowered studies as proof of a negative. There is a statistical standard for demonstrating the lack of a correlation. This study does not meet it.
He is Science, you didn't know that? I've been dealing with his kind for 40 sum years. This Doc is a whacko and cares about his legacy over the truth. He lies for a living. Total loser and now his pal Chuck is giving him cover.Apparently Fauci now believes he and science are equivalent.

Actual Science, or Science Du Jour...there's a big difference. Pretty cool how one person can be the sole arbiter of truth. Fauci is the new Exhibit A for "How Power Corrupts". Who let him out of the lab?Apparently Fauci now believes he and science are equivalent.

I think he merely believes that you loons would have made personal attacks against anyone representing the median scientific view.Apparently Fauci now believes he and science are equivalent.
