Amen bro. She must be going out of State?My daughters university next year is not requiring boosters, only the original 2 shots of Moderna and Pfizer, or 1 shot of J&J.

Disregard my Q broIf it wasn't obvious, this an out-of-state university...a public one in fact.
The nutter routine is blatantly obvious.How so?
It isn’t that I believe vaccines do no more than keep me out of the hospital. There is plenty to be said for reducing transmission by shortening the period over which a person is contagious.1. Reliable people like Campbell are great for helping make sense of the data for those of us you regard as STEM morons that you always looked down upon. Oh yeah, I remember, trust the experts, but only those that have the dad4 seal of approval.
2. It's funny how far back your line has fallen back to that you are now at "kept me out of the hospital". If that's the point we are at, then there was no point in vaccinating people who had already had it since their prior infection would "keep them out of the hospital" for the second.
3. It also means there's no point in boosting with the original shot, except in very limited instances of the very elderly and immunocompromised (and I don't mean I have asthma that means I'm immunocompromised....in like I'm in active chemo treatment or have AIDS immocompromised). It also means there was never any point in vaccinating the under 20, and serious consideration should have been given to the 20-30 who were immunonaive.
4. I truly wonder, seeing what's happening in China, and having one domino fall after another (whether the kids in schools, the vaccines, the masks, the inflation, where Sweden/Florida ended up, the wipe down theater) and seeing what's the thought process in your head. It really does fascinate me, because you usually don't see it outside of the context of religion, and having had a ton of conversations with believers, and having encountered some I was never able to get to question, I never really understood it. Now that's something I would pay dollars to understand how the brain can actually do it. I understand the trolls like espola and busker and what motivates them. But even though I don't have a comprehension of it, a little bit of me admires the faithful too.
Over the course of this thread, from my viewpoint Grace has moved from well-informed but with an obvious agenda to just plain irrelevant.It isn’t that I believe vaccines do no more than keep me out of the hospital. There is plenty to be said for reducing transmission by shortening the period over which a person is contagious.
But, that is a STEM discussion. And, as you mentioned, you not going to hold up your end of a discussion on a STEM topic. You are neither capable of understanding the material, nor willing to defer to those who do. I didn’t have the option of discussing the impact of an X% reduction in duration of infectiousness.
So I picked a point which is unarguable and easy to understand: people don’t like being hospitalized, NHS doesn’t like paying for unnecessary hospital visits, and the vaccine is reducing hospitalization numbers. It’s a baby argument, but it was enough.
If you want to be taken out of the baby arguments bucket, then drop the pretense that you understand everything better than those “experts”.
You mean deflect and insult. Spot on!The nutter routine is blatantly obvious.
So she finished where you reside?Over the course of this thread, from my viewpoint Grace has moved from well-informed but with an obvious agenda to just plain irrelevant.
I think for most of us that baby argument isn't compelling enough for people to lose their jobs or livelihoods over it.It isn’t that I believe vaccines do no more than keep me out of the hospital. There is plenty to be said for reducing transmission by shortening the period over which a person is contagious.

That's one of the better articles I've read in awhile.@dad4 @GoldenGate @Hüsker Dü
Your own people are realizing the government is only about themselves!! But go ahead keep on saying what a great job the yare doing haha
The Met Gala and the hubris of wealth
On the first Monday in May each year a spectacle of excess is staged in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City – the Met Gala. The red carpet rolls out for the billionaires and their hangers-on, the politicians and parasites, and the celebrities competing in what is known as the Oscars...www.wsws.org
Said it was a bad idea or said it was best to leave it up to the local school boards?By the way at the bottom of the article above, they have posts/comments from critics of DeSantis regarding him opening schools in the fall of 2020. As you read those....remember some on this board acted in a similar manner claiming it was a bad idea to open schools.
I guess your take is it was a good idea to screw kids and keep the schools closed?Said it was a bad idea or said it was best to leave it up to the local school boards?
I think the pro-school closure groups fell into two categories 1) those that wanted to exploit Covid to further there own interests or narrative (like school unions), and 2) those that were overcome by their own fear of Covid. I can't imagine that anyone supported closures because they were too stupid to understand the negative impacts to children. That takes a whole other level of stupid.As time goes on...we are seeing the disastrous consequences of lockdowns, school closures, nonsense rules, etc.
This article comments on the NY Times article regarding the damage caused to student education by school closures.
"Were many of these problems avoidable? The evidence suggests that they were. Extended school closures appear to have done much more harm than good, and many school administrators probably could have recognized as much by the fall of 2020."
"On average, students who attended in-person school for nearly all of 2020-21 lost about 20 percent worth of a typical school year’s math learning during the study’s two-year window…
But students who stayed home for most of 2020-21 fared much worse. On average, they lost the equivalent of about 50 percent of a typical school year’s math learning during the study’s two-year window…"
@Dad was a cheerleader for school closures.
And yet by May or June 2020 we already KNEW that there was no risk to kids or college students. The data clearly showed that. And yet places like CA closed most if not all universities to in person learning. A substantial percentage of elementary and high schools were closed.
And we knew they were fine and would be fine.
My kids like most lost their spring semester in 2020. Fortunately they were back in school full time in the fall. Guess what happened? No teachers died, no kids died. And while nothing bad happened something great did....they were in school learning full time. Millions of other kids got screwed.
It is exactly those 2 categories that people fell into. Category 2 were unwilling or too scared to look at the actual data.I think the pro-school closure groups fell into two categories 1) those that wanted to exploit Covid to further there own interests or narrative (like school unions), and 2) those that were overcome by their own fear of Covid.

or looked at the data and had incredibly low risk tolerances. You remember the argument that near zero is not absolute zero.It is exactly those 2 categories that people fell into. Category 2 were unwilling or too scared to look at the actual data.
I wonder what the emergency was? I suspect if given the option, fully vaxxed quadrupled boosted cruisers would rather get covid than norovirus. just sayin.This is crazy. The whole cruise ship is fully jabbed and over 200 people get Covid and have to sit in hotel in Seattle and make no calls. Fully jabbed is two jabs plus at least 2 boosters and they still get Covid. I am at a lost for words. I think we should do a cruise for folks with no jabs and see how many get Covid.
