I just get tired of the constant drumbeat of “if you care whether other people get covid, you must be stupid.”
Maybe I should ignore the right wing loons on this thread and swill some beer with my old varsity teammates from college.

Maybe you should do just a little research before hitting " Post Reply ".
Lioneyes used it correctly ya " wanker ".
Maybe, just maybe you should just do a little scholastic " Research ".
And we get tired of the constant drumbeat of "someone else is responsible for my health", oddly children in most cases. Now that we've both misquoted each other and I've violated my "two wrongs don't make a right" mantra, I think I will do as you suggest and swill a beer. Cheers.

What did he lie about? And you are confusing me with Dr. Fauci’s words. Also why do you think my feeling bad for well meaning rubes is somehow playing the victim card. I’m not a victim she was/they are/are you?
If others are receiving death threats that is a different situation. Bring everything you can into a debate muddies the waters it doesn’t prove anything. Stay on subject.

Unfortunately, Whoopie has more than 2 wrongs. Sister act 1&2, Jumpin Jack Flash, Ghost, Star trek, The View, her stand up act, Ted Danson and the infamous Roast, etc I kid, I kid, But seriously Sharon Osbourne was fired from the Talk over defending someone's right to have an opinion. Why does Whoopie get a pass?

Responsibility, just be responsible. Searching for opinions to back ones need to care only about themselves is not being responsible. I’m tired of the constant, “BUT! BUT! BUT!” Regarding the worlds leading experts best, at the moment, assessments. To then only to offer up obscure opinions and spun numbers that are easily refuted. Like any post lying eyes ever wasted our time with. I have had a few stalkers in here that I suppose were hurt deeply, he was one of the first almost a decade ago.
In Major Shift, NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan
A spokesman for Dr. Fauci says he has been “entirely truthful,” but a new letter belatedly acknowledging the National Institutes of Health’s support for virus-enhancing research adds more heat to the ongoing debate over whether a lab leak could have sparked the pandemic.
And no, you muddied the waters when you even brought the subject of death threats into the debate. Don't blame me for what you brought into the conversation. You seem to have this accountability disconnect that's pervasive in your posts, whether its you individually, or blaming someone's good faith opinion for the action of others.
I don't think you actually believe in censorship (despite your comments), and I know you don't believe in government mandates. Again we're on the same page, just with a different approach. I'm no fan of Rand Paul, but nothing he said was out of line, annoying maybe. If we were to silence all grandstanding politicians they'd have nothing to say.
You should let them know you’d like to cancel them too. You know, your quest to cancel Varsity sports or is that just for HS Varsity sports.
Ha, ha. Fair point, but I still stand by my comment. At some point, someone needs to take the high road or we all get stuck in the swamp. And yes I'm probably being naive.

Please, please, can someone make this happen.
Please point out any comments I've made that are irresponsible. If you think my opinion of not masking healthy kids is irresponsible, bring it on. Your covid behavior is not the only measure of responsibility, the picture is much bigger than that. My covid policy: Don't mask healthy kids, get vaccinated and if you have Covid stay the F home and isolate.
You know what's irresponsible? Firing nurses for not getting vaccinated, but forcing vaccinated nurses to work when they're Covid positive. That's how fubar'd our health policies are and proof that they are about control and not science.
I'll leave this right here.

The researchers say lockdowns had no noticeable effect on COVID mortality and had a "devastating effect" on economies and social ills.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb says it’s time to consider dumping school Covid mask mandates
"We're going to probably have to tolerate, and probably should, a higher level of baseline spread," the former FDA chief told CNBC on Wednesday.

So, varsity programs would cease to exist if they had to share field space with IM?
I don’t think so. Top level kids will still want to play on Friday, even if the IM programs get to use the goals Wednesday and Thursday.

And increasingly more and more scientists are saying this about masks...which of course was well known prior to this as the CDC had studies on its own site saying surgical masks don't work against respiratory viruses.
“Cloth and surgical masks do absolutely nothing for protection from ambient virus,” said Chad Roy, a microbiologist at Tulane University School of Medicine, referring to the virus spreading through the air. “All this song and dance of wearing cloth masks with some presumption that you're being protected from ambient virus is completely and positively 100% counter to how masks and respirators work.”

- “most of the masks worn by most kids for most of the pandemic have likely done nothing to change the velocity or trajectory of the virus.”
- “there are downsides to face coverings for pupils and students, including detrimental impacts on communication in the classroom.”
- “masking is now little more than an appealing delusion.”
- decisions to mask schoolchildren are “ignorant, cruel, fearful, and cowardly.”
It's kind of funny Hound that we have to post links from experts to support the obvious.You will start to see more and more of this coming out now that the public is done with it. IE...the truth is now finally trickling out.

My kid plays high level club. My other kid plays rec hoops. I think both levels are important, and I want schools to offer both.
Make sense?
I write this knowing that my more athletic kid gets less practice time if she has to share fields with IM. That’s ok.
