Side note of vaxxes and certain mindsets. I have family in the bay area. One of them was proudly letting people know he got boosted (again) yesterday. His friends (mostly in the bay area) were excited and talking about them getting boosted. I couldn't help but think the booster you got lasts at most a couple of months. It is for the original version of the virus...and how many times a year are you going to take a shot for a virus that has mutated to basically a version of the flu? A lot of groupthink in that part of CA.

Again, with apologies to Linus. He never bragged about it.



Do something worthy of bragging, like get fit. Then, be sure to be offended when someone compliments you on your weight loss and ask them how they thought you looked before you lost any weight.

This thread is jumping all over the place. It long ago stopped being the covid only thread. Not that you would know since all you do is say LINK?

When you say this is the covid forum....with all various topics on it recently...it feels like this

We’ve drawn outside the lines in Dom’s various site incarnations for over a decade now . . . it’s always been a bit of a traveling road show. It just took a few years before he attempted to contain us all in here (the kitchen in various forms).

And on the other front...Ukraine.

Some observations.

- It was assumed the Russians would roll through Ukraine in a matter of days.

They of course have not.

- Russian equipment is not as good as was thought. In large part the country relies on a few major contractors all of which are corrupt. In the US we have a variety of manufacturers responsible for producing planes. In Russia basically all planes are produced by one company. There is no competition, oversight, etc.

The failure rate of missiles in Ukraine has been shockingly high.

Etc etc.

That said they have enough munitions to blanket bomb/level cities.

- Russian logistics are terrible
- Russian on the ground leadership is terrible. They still suffer from the fact they do not use NCO's in the fashion that the West does. By that it means allowing NCO's to make on the ground decisions as events unfold. Essentially their decision making is not nimble.
- Planning...which involves leadership has been poor. They way they have moved armor around has left them very vulnerable to Ukrainian defenses. The Russians have not used infantry properly to help protect armor.
- Maybe most surprising is how with all their planes, Russia still does not posses air superiority over the Ukrainians.
- The bulk of their forces are made up of poorly trained conscripts. They serve 12 months. That is enough to get some basic training in, but not enough to match the professionalism of lets say US troops who have longer terms/more training. The lack of training is very apparent in terms of how badly the Russians have done in Ukraine.

All in all it has been rather eye opening in terms of how badly they have performed since the invasion.

Seems like a fair assessment. Ultimately Russia understands if it ever gets into a war with the West, they would have to go nuclear as they have no chance fighting a conventional war. Makes you wonder if them being so inadequate is a good thing.

You are not that guy.

The article just shows these agencies bowed to political pressure. We know they certainly did as well under the Biden admin as it relates to the teachers union helping to adjust rules.

The whole process has been political from day one. Which is why so many things didn't make any sense.

There is no better evidence of this than Fauci saying the pandemic was over and Psaki saying that's not what he meant and then the next day Fauci saying the pandemic was not over. He strayed from the left's narrative and he obviously got a talking to. Another current example, is the pandemic being over for Title 42 but not for public transportation.

Moderna files emergency authorization for kids' COVID-19 vaccine

Moderna starts its filing for an emergency use authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine in kids under 6 years.

Here we go..more sciency stuff. Small trials, terrible first crack at getting dosing right, not regarding covid recovery in the age group,rising seroprevalence, etc...instead all about the dolla, dolla...

Let's not force the drug rug companies to accurately charaterize the risk to a healthy rugrat from covid, often lower than a vaccinated, boosted adult. But then again, if you do that you end up with egg on your face about school closures

What a scam.

Yes exactly, does Russian incompetence put vlad closer to the button? He wants to go down in history . . .

Just one more example of people wanting to turn complex problems into simple yes/no questions.

I don‘t think anyone paying attention actually thought Fauci meant covid is 100% gone. They just had to clarify it because idiots on forums like this were going to deliberately misinterpret it.

Then, just like clockwork, the idiots here try to misinterpet the clarification. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

And the succession principle is a real issue for him. He hears the clock ticking.

So I guess I shouldn't take people at their word. I should have to analyze what they said to determine what they actually meant? Fauci is the king of "flip flopping" usually dependent on who is interviewing him. It wasn't like he was ambiguous when he said the pandemic was over, he was very direct and unequivocal.

When you start name calling you've lost the argument.

I have an arrest warrant out from all my tickets from the past. I came on here 4 years ago and went all over the place in threads and the thread police let me know every time. I got better but I'm still getting them tickets.

Moderna Files for Authorization of Its COVID-19 Vaccine in Young Children Six Months to Under Six Years of Age

"We are proud to share that we have initiated our EUA submission for authorization for our COVID-19 vaccine for young children," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna.

I just heard the news on the radio just now. Investors with stock and my pals wife are super stoked with this news. I have to find these ads because their crazy to hear on the radio. They have parent actors doing voice over with so much BS is triggers me. I don't believe for one minute that normal parents sit around begging and praying to jab their baby. Anyone on here willing to jab their grand kid at 8 months old? Be honest and I won;t judge either way. They want kids 6 months to 5 years old to take KidCOVE. The KidCOVE study is being conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Fauci and the crew.

So are you claiming that CDC, NIH and FDA policy hasn't been influenced by Trump, Biden, the teacher's unions, among others?

Just don’t over-interpret. When someone says “pandemic phase is over“, don’t jump to the conclusion that covid disappeared. The worst phase ended, not the whole thing.

They are telling you that the profile of the epidemic is shifting. Old phase is over, new phase is starting. You will see fewer mass hospitalizations, but more low level cases all over the place.

Not that any of the above is news to you. We’ve all been acting on that assumption for a while. Most of us were ready to declare phase two back in October. A tad early, but generally correct.

Biden is watching you and so is big brother. I knew something was wrong with the set up we were all born into. Born free my ass....lol!!

@Hüsker Dü and please let Espola know this as well. Elon said it best with this meme on Twitter just now. This is also what I have been trying to tell you the last couple years. I would say most of my lib pals are like Elon and have moved from being a lefty to now being a righty. I am a switch hitter and will always go with the truth, no matter what. I will never pick a party over my country. That is a big no no and I think some of my fellow Americans made a big mistake and most did it to get paid. It's sad man, it is sad day today. My lib pals who have gone far lefty and woke, all talk one thing now; Russia and war and more war and now nukes are coming. Even my right leaning military pals are talking nuke and www 3. I pray for peace and I pray for divine intervention asap. I am calling all Angels for all hands on deck. I have never in my life have I heard so much war talk and money losses. People are scared today. Fear is not the solution.
