Vaccine

What about the folks who got fired? What a mess.

explore legal options? No idea if those are even viable, but there are certainly attorneys out there offering services

employment /labor law is booming right now . My Corp has spent untold millions consulting with them since Covid , especially in CA , who knows how the fuck to navigate through this

My buddy does biz law and he get's so many calls a day about this and that and now with the mandate as bullshit ((not a law)), people now have a leg to stand on. They will blame it on the rain but someone will have to pay the damages. i know people who lost everything. If this turns out to be fraud among other things, well then people will get compensated. It's the right thing to do. Fire someone over a lie. Assholes look to fire people they dont like politcally, this will 100% bite some in the butt down the road.

Any company using the excuse of the “Biden Mandate” as enforcing vaccinations should pay , most not really stupid companies were waiting this out for the courts to opine before taking any action
 
I'm just trying to ferret out the source of Grace's unique viewpoint on evolution, especially with respect to the evolution of viruses and other simple organisms. Since that is one of the topics dismissed or treated lightly in some home-schooling curricula, I wondered at the possibility.

Betsy McCaughey is appalled by the mix of hypocrisy and authoritarianism that leads so many people on the left to applaud vaccine mandates. A slice:
A mayor who professes to defend bodily autonomy is doing the opposite, forcing everyone to take the shots, regardless of personal qualms. This is the same de Blasio who warned at a recent Brooklyn pro-choice rally that “you cannot have your government attempt to take away your right to control your body. It cannot happen in America.”
 
Fresh hellscape? Always the extremes from you.

We already have evidence from the Norway Christmas party that Omicron does not send vaccinated people to the hospital. Last I checked, it was 90 infected, zero to hospital. This is ought to be enough to rule out a “vaccine does nothing” argument, especially when you combine it with the lab results.

Now you have the normal scientific back and forth over quantifying the added benefit.

No hellscape at all. They figured out that the Pfizer shot helps against omicron, and are busy establishing the error bars on that statement. Most of us consider this a good thing.

Time to re-enter my morning “hellscape“ of tunes and a fresh cup of coffee.
My GMU Econ colleague Bryan Caplan believes, plausibly, that he’s identified a Covid asymmetry. Here’s his opening:

During Covid, the U.S. reverted to our old tradition of federalism – and then embraced gubernatorial dictatorship. As result of this strange and shocking institutional revolution, the U.S. witnessed a dramatic rise in policy variance. Some parts of the U.S., like Florida and Texas, returned to near-normalcy in a matter of months. Others, like California and New York, became and remain soft police states.
 
Brown University epidemiologist Andrew Bostom pushes back against the fast-emerging mania for vaccine-booster mandates. A slice:

Rapidly accumulating data strongly suggest prior covid-19 infection, “natural immunity,” is more robust, flexible, and enduring than exclusive covid-19 vaccine-acquired immunity. Pfizer’s covid-19 booster trial data confirm boosters afford no benefit in preventing covid-19 infections among those with natural immunity.

Given these overall randomized trial findings regarding covid-19 vaccine boosters—absence of even a short- term reduction in mild covid-19 infections in those with natural immunity, and no data establishing that boosters prevent covid-19 hospitalizations, deaths, or SARS-CoV-2 transmission—there is no rational, evidence-based justification for covid-19 vaccine “booster mandates.”

One of the reasons why government absorbs so much money and takes on ever-increasing powers is that it is home to so many people whose beliefs could not withstand the draconian tests of science, the marketplace or a scoreboard. What we the taxpayers are ultimately paying for is their insulation from reality, as they pursue the heady pleasures of power.
 
Goalposts are always being moved

Over time, circumstances change. We learn more. New variants evolve. It is inevitable that recommendations will change, too.

Did you expect the world to stop for you, to make it easier to keep up?

Yeah you’ll keep saying that when they are in the 4th and 5th shot. It’s not going to happen. The public won’t tolerate it (assuming they mandate). The pushback dwarfs anything we see now.

remember this started with 14 days to slow the spread. There’s a limit to how far you can push those goalpost, regardless of whether warranted or not

The existence or non-existence of a 4th or 5th shot depends on biology. Your complaint is that biology moved the goalposts.

Biology does that. Biology moved the goalposts on a lot of people over the last two years. 15 million of them are dead. You're grumpy because you might need a vaccine. Get over it.

When emotion is allowed to take over all good sense goes out the window. Hence the popular term of our time, “I feel like . . .”*

*something is happening or the reason for that
