Same old arguments and still without a clue...SIGH. Unhappy

I get that with Paul, I don’t agree with a lot of his stances but on this issue he’s spot on. 

Maybe I shouldn’t post right after sh*t hits me, probably should wait to wind down and cool my jets a bit.   I dodged a bullet, get to keep my job, but others aren’t so lucky.

Yesterday I was with friends and family.  One friend, after getting forced to take the vaccine his legs turned red and swelled like balloons. Another got denied his religious exemption and is contemplating his next move, which may not be good.  My sister’s friend was in tears, just purchased a new house and with a fresh mortgage needs to get vaccinated otherwise she losses her job and house.  It was probably not a good idea to talk about Eric Clapton experience...

If the dam vaccines are safe and effective as touted, then why mandate them?  If you take it and feel safe, why should you demand others to do the same?  If other individuals, for any reason don’t want to get vaccinated why should you care, you’re protected, screw them, right?

I for one have many reasons as to why vaccine mandates and any sort of passport tracking is a horrific idea.

Re Cosmic Vibration; Its hard to reply to your posts because they carry lots and lots of unintended type written baggage.
Please fix that.

As for Paul, he probably has some good points, but he is such an annoying a****le I can't listen to him for more than a second.

Anyway, I thought we were dong acrostics

Bacerra is certainly not a great representative, he seems wide eyed and weak and I don't think he was a good nominee by Biden.   And as much as Rand Paul is a blank-faced sociopath, he makes some good points.   It's also heartening that natural immunities are as good or better than shots, and it'd be nice if we could all agree on at least that.   Might create some common ground where it is so needed.

No doubt… 4 years of one idiot in charge and now another 4 years of an even bigger idiot.  How much longer before the country implodes?

I didn’t support Trump but I did support twofaced Joe.  I also had a lot of respect and supported Elizabeth Warren; turns out she’s senseless as well. She sent a letter to Amazon’s CEO to ban certain books. Modern day book burning, are you kidding me.. 

One book in particular: The Truth About Covid-19 by Dr. Joseph Mercola.  I have not read this book but will probably order it just to see what exactly I’m not supposed to be reading.

Your wrong again, Steve. In an earlier conversation with you, Steve, I told you I've been vaccinated. That said, I support personal choice.  

Remember-

Steve said,


 It's always a case of apples and oranges with your ilk. You asked for reasons why people should care about non vaccinated people but failed to state why you don't. What's your libertarian's view on why people needlessly dying is no big deal. The shot is free. It doesn't cost anything. The side effects are rare. It keeps people from dying needlessly. So, what's your beef with it? Why does a health professional like you fail to care about the health of others? Cindy replied-

If the shots are free than how come Pfizer's stock price has almost tripled since Trump first mentioned vaccines? Taxes pay for vaccinations. Pfizer's earnings did not appear out of thin air.

My only problem with the vaccine?  People should be allowed to choose for themselves. I think it's the law of the land.  I've been vaccinated. That said, it's none of my business if you get vaccinated.  What gives me the right?  Since I've been vaccinated, you are no threat to my life.  

I care plenty about the health of people. However, that does not give me the right to interfere with people's freedom of choice.  I care about babies.  That said, I don't condemn women for getting abortions. It's their legal right- "My body, my choice." 


Like I've said before Cindy, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Now, if we can just get you to fix your BB codes...

Things are getting a bit Star Warsian...  makes one wonder if all this is a plot to take over the Democrats by destroying the GOP from within and turning the Dems into the moderate conservative party the Repubs were fifty years ago.

I would discount any data presented on Uttar Pradesh.  I know that BJP-supporting Indians uncritically accept any data coming from UP and Bihar these days (because both states have BJP led govts). But historically they have been the most backward states in India with rampant corruption and cheating.  Anybody who thinks they didn't fudge the data must be smoking something real hot that I would like a little of. Heck, I doubt the accuracy of numbers in Mumbai where things are a lot more systematic than UP/Bihar (but still a long way off the standards of a developed nation with a democratic govt).

Crematoriums worked overtime in many parts of India at the peak of the second wave in April and May.  It didn't die down due to any particular medication.  Rather, it was a combination of the virus burning through a lot of bodies quickly and lockdown measures being reinforced by several states either statewide or in zones with high rate of infections.  Thus far, that is the only, blunt, instrument that has worked in India.  We will see how the third wave pans out.  Vaccinations have definitely picked up pace in the months after the third wave and, surprisingly, we don't have the anti-vax problem seen in the US specifically but also in other pockets of the Western world. If a lot of people have already got the infection and many more are vaccinated, the third wave should be a lot less severe than the second.  But we will find out over the next few months...
