Instead the sign has “97 percent survival rate” and “sheeple” on it.
Stuff like this baffles me. They use a phrase like 97 percent survival rate and think that means it's all much ado about nothing. If they believe that number to be true and we all skip vaccines then we'd lose about 10 million people in this country? And that's OK? Really?
I'm sure in their mind the 97% survival rate just means THEY will almost certainly be OK in the end. And that's all that really matters.

big difference between running as a statewide candidate in which fulton, dekalb, etc... counties actually count towards the total vs. the georgia 14th district which trump and greene both won 75%+ of the vote.
The R's in GA are working on that glitch.

1985 Texas versus Missouri. Meh game. Meh season. But it was great to see my first game in person. Grew up in Louisiana so I'd only caught a few games on TV prior to that. Now in California, so it's been years since I've been to a game other than the recent Cal game in Berkeley I'd just a soon forget.

This is the Mississippi DOH. Maybe the sample sizes are too small, but honestly these orange (fully vaxx) percentages are the exact opposite of what I would expect. Would expect them to be higher percentage of cases but lower of hospitalizations and deaths.
I hope the sample size is small, though that detail would be lost on the dim witted. 18% of deaths for the vaccinated is really high compared to the <1% reported by Arkansas and some other states.

So I’m headed to Napa tomorrow with three other couples and just realized each couple is affiliated with a different SEC school: Texas, OU, Florida, and A&M. I feel like some sort of action should be taken. Thoughts?
Ditch them all and head over to Sonoma. The wine's better here (minus perhaps the Cabs), a bit less expensive and less pretentious.

Three hospitals and a double lung transplant. Everyone else in the family got the vaccine.
Makes me ragey. So some other person on the lung transplant waiting list may die because this dick couldn't be bothered to do the smart thing? Fuck him.

How about instead of ridiculed, just not protected anymore? And when they get Covid, sympathy is optional.
If the only thing that happened to such people who chose not to be vaccinated is that they died I'd be all for the live and let live. But that's not the whole story. Those dicks are the probable vectors for the Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, ... Omega variants. They'll pass that new version on to a large number of people before they croak. Sooner or later one of those variants is going to be different enough that the vaccines we do have now won't suffice, then we're back in the suck. Rinse and repeat.
And as pointed out in another post, yes, the low vaccination rates elsewhere (in many cases having to do with total unavailability instead of something silly like political leanings) are a problem too and perhaps even a bigger one. Delta originated, if I recall correctly, in India. So the entire world needs to step up.

What I'm saying is these mutations will happen in other parts of the world - like they have been - even if we reach 100% here. We don't live in a vacuum.
100% correct. Which is why the US and the rest of the western world should be pushing vaccinations everywhere. No one on the planet should fail to get a vaccine if they want one.

Which is going to happen whether the US reaches 100% vaccination levels or not. Mutations, that is. Not necessarily forms that get past the current vaccines.
I'm not sure that's the case, though I'm not a doctor. COVID has a Ro value of 2.4, or something like that. So a given person who is unvaccinated and infected will pass it on to 2 or 3 other people. All presenting new opportunities for mutation. A vaccinated person who becomes infected has a far lower possibility of passing the infection on to others, though to what extent in numbers I have no idea. That means less mutation potential. That's astronomically a better outcome, not just a minor difference.
Any medical experts out there please chime in. I'm curious what the real numbers are on a vaccinated person's ability to spread the virus, if any, actually is.
I never thought a Governor from Arkansas, of all people, would do something I want the media to do every day, but here we are:
QuoteMore than 90% of active virus cases are people who have not been vaccinated, Gov. Asa Hutchinson said during the briefing.The state saw 988 Covid-19 deaths since late January, and 99.6% of those deaths were people who were not vaccinated, Hutchinson added. In the same time period, more than 98% of those hospitalized with Covid-19 were not vaccinated.https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/02/health/us-coronavirus-friday/index.html
Edit:
Ack! Ro is worse for COVID that previously reported. It's up to 5.7 in some studies. Perhaps this is taking into account the newer Delta variant?

Fuck Reggie Bush.
And concerning other posts that bring up the tax angle and whether the kids will be able to navigate it, it's an entirely different world than most of us were exposed to with our first job. Taxes get withheld by the store you work for. You file, 1040EZ for the win, to get a refund. That's easy as it gets, IRS wise.
I'm 54 and have navigated taxes for decades. What exactly are the tax implications for an individual receiving lots of free stuff for a tweet or post? I'm sure there is one, but I have no idea how to file that. Some 18 year old kid likely doesn't as well. The can of worms has been opened and UT, and other schools, had best be prepared to help the student athletes navigate this minefield or there may be some ineligible players next season for reasons we had not seen up to this point.

Back up into double digits in less than a week. NONE of them are vaccinated.
I want to see every news organization say the same thing day after day:
"CDC reported xxx deaths yesterday due to COVID-19. All of the victims were unvaccinated"
Every single day.
Of course the real numbers might be more like "99% of the victims were unvaccinated" and that the 1% outlier will be the rallying cry for anti-vaxxers because we live in the dumbest of timelines.

Given HIPAA, I think we never get the full story about medical issues for legal reasons. Also, I've heard County Healthcare officials mentioned once or twice in this thread. So it's possible the NCAA is not the only entity driving the events.

You may want to read the article that you posted.
I understand your point. But the article references:
Retaining all 36 teams will require a large-scale fundraising campaign for Stanford Athletics, and “we will need to ask for the support of the Cardinal faithful like never before,”
They still have to find the money. It's not a done deal.

I thought I had read that the rules were changed recently to limit the number of sports that could count towards the Directors Cup. Stanford had a huge advantage in that they fielded 36 teams, compared to Texas' 16 (??). Try competing against competition which can field double the number of players you can. It was a foregone conclusion that Stanford would win.

Regardless of the rules changes, things may have leveled out somewhat anyway. Looks like Stanford is going to have to cut back: https://news.stanford.edu/2021/05/18/stanford-continue-11-varsity-sports/

Norway has public data on the income and taxes paid by its citizens. From the article:
One nice feature of tax transparency is that it discourages tax evasion.
Take it for what it's worth. But other's have tried this, and other, proposals that are discussed here. I'll bet there's not an idea in this thread that has not been tried by someone, somewhere at some time. I would love to see some data on it.
