I went to church camp for a week about 1960. When young teen-age boys are given a thick book and told not to read parts of it, guess what they do. As an example, that's when I learned what "fornication" means.

Homophobic? No. You don't know anything about me at all, do you?

As for blackface, when I was about 6 I appeared as the Little Coon, my appearance darkened by wearing a dark stocking over my head, in the local mens' club annual minstrel show. And our high school had a winter carnival every year that included a Kake Walk competition. I wasn't athletic enough for that, but I played in the orchestra. There might even be pictures somewhere.

And as for being a "fan of Neil", I always thought of him as the bad boy who got kicked out of two successful bands.

Numbers aren't in her favor there. Head lice IFR is a lot lower than covid IFR. As you said, it's not even close.

My kid was sick 2 days and done. I’ve had it and am vaxxed. You either believe in the vaxx or you don’t.

with lice you got to treat the kid (which unless shaving involves shampoo and picking stuff out), wash everything, shut a bunch of stuff in bags, treat yourself (with long hair it’s a real pain) and treat the dog and rinse repeat if the other kids catch it. A drama that goes on far longer and is much more work than a stupid cold.

Ah yes, ignorance is bliss . . . if it were only that simply for everyone!
 
More of the truth comes out.

This isn't a surprise since it was discussed here. Fear of losing a job or funding causes/caused many scientists to not say a word.

Happens in other fields as well.
Speaking to Fox News, scientists from the U.S., Britain, Germany, Israel and Australia have recounted that it was difficult to publish research about the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic began due to a lab leak, and that they found themselves shunned by other scientists, even when those scientists themselves found the lab-leak theory plausible.
"We got our heads shot from every direction, from people who we now know were actually thinking exactly the same thing, but have chosen to say the opposite," Nikolai Petrovsky, a professor of medicine at Flinders University in Australia, told Fox News Digital.

The scientists speaking to Fox News claimed that others in the field were desperate to protect the scientific community -- and funding -- so they coalesced around the single idea that a lab leak would have hurt their work, and the community. The scientists who supported the theory had research papers rejected, and the media branded them conspiracy theorists.

Lord Matt Ridley, author of the book "Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19," told Fox News that funding was also a motive for silence. "Senior scientists were quietly saying to me, 'We think you're right that it does need to be taken seriously, but we don't say so because the funding agencies might give us a hard time.'"

It depends on how you feel about events with low probability, but severe consequences.

Take your Covid phobia and multiply it by 100, that's how my wife feels about lice. That applies to anyone in our family getting it. In fact, if one of the kids gets it do you have an extra room at your house for me to stay because life will be untenable at my house.

I have an extra room. You're welcome here.
Many years ago, I had two young thick haired blonde girls and one brought home the lice from day care. I found out where the expression "nit picking" came from.......

Well then don’t drive, don’t have a pool, don’t fly, don’t ski and certainly don’t let your kid play soccer let alone (god forbid) football.

by The way my orewellian translator is going off and saying we finally got to the truth of you. Never seen it go off so much. It says: “I’m scared! Help!”

I have an extra room, but you can't visit if you're all lousy. No way I want those little blood suckers in my house.
