  1. Yup. That was my favorite program to watch. And best music choice of the night.
  2. True. But no idea what this has to do with Pelosi. Section 18 of the US Code is criminal. Until the DOJ goes after him and he's convicted this is meaningless. Unless Pelosi wants to start a third impeachment proceeding.
  3. Yikes.
  4. Their sycophants are. Their leaders, however, are lying. Kari Lake's surely vaccinated and doesn't have the first clue what Ivermectin is.
  5. Eh. Just playing footsie with treason.
  6. I'm Jewish. And I've had many of those conversations--both about protecting myself here and an exit plan. Edit to clarify: And that's an exit plan from the US. I've already left Texas. And when my employer wanted me to move back to Texas, I said no. Because I had enough issues with people telling me I was going to burn in hell in the 90s in Texas. No way was I heading back there with the shit that's going on currently.
  7. Also, who on here is advocating for lockdowns now or in the future? Other than imaginary California libtard boogeymen.
  8. That's also a meaningless number. Hell, I agree we should "get on with our lives," whatever that means. I also think people should wear masks indoors when possible and get vaccinated. And that doing those things also increases the ability to "get on with our lives." Why the natural immunity crew conflates "getting on with our lives," with being selfish assholes who won't do the bare minimum shit that doesn't impact your life, such as getting a jab or wearing mask in the supermarket, is a confusing mystery....
  9. Our national priorities are so incredibly fucked up.
  10. NSIAP
  11. Yeah, because they've shown that they're going to follow the Constitution. The rule of law only applies to the libs.
  12. Sringtime for Twitler.
  13. I'm not arguing for anything, other than when it comes to policy decisions on who should be vaccinated and whether vaccination should be mandatory, I want to hear what the scientists are going to recommend, and not some random person named after a Miami Vice character on a message board filled with assholes.
  14. Ok. So you're speculating based on something the CDC said about Delta. Especially since we know how vaccination interplays with Omicron is different than Delta. But, okay, then.
  15. The CDC said prior infection provides protection against Omicron? Edit to add: No.  They did not. People who had previously been infected with COVID-19 were better protected against the Delta variant than those who were vaccinated alone, suggesting that natural immunity was a more potent shield than vaccines against that variant, California and New York health officials reported on Wednesday. Protection against Delta was highest, however, among people who were both vaccinated and had survived a previous COVID infection, and lowest among those who had never been infected or vaccinated, the study found. Nevertheless, vaccination remains the safest strategy against COVID-19, according to the report published in U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The results do not apply to the Omicron variant of the virus, which now accounts for 99.5% of COVID-19 cases in the United States. "The evidence in this report does not change our vaccination recommendations," Dr. Ben Silk of the CDC and one of the study's authors told a media briefing.
  16. Yes, they did. It was omicron and they were vaccinated. Maybe the prior non-omicron cases they had roughly two years ago conferred some additional ability to ward off the symptoms of omicron. I'm not going to speculate about what the interplay was given that not even the scientists know at this point. If only the trolls on this board and elsewhere would stop the speculation based on facebook/youtube/twitter research....
  17. I know two people who had Covid twice and were vaccinated, but in both instances the first bout of Covid was from before the vaccines were available. For the people bleating about natural immunity on here.
  18. Ah, yes, the honor system. Which if we've learned anything over the last two years, it's that a significant number of people in this country are raging assholes who are fine with killing grandma and cancer patients so long as they can get drunk at Applebee's, and think something as insignificant as wearing a mask is somehow the hugest imposition on their rights equivalent to gas chambers.
  19. That's not true. The actual quote from Newsom, as printed in the op ed you cited to, and not speculation by the author of the op ed: "Big milestone: California now at 93% of people have at least one shot, which is something to celebrate, right?" Michaelson said. "But then when we get to that point, where is the light at the end of the tunnel, when does this state of emergency end, if we're seeing that much progress on vaccinations?" "We'll know it when we experience it," the governor replied. "... They say about success, it's not a place or a definition, it's a direction. I mean eventually we'll get to that point, but it doesn't seem that there's a numerical match to it. It was, you know, initially it was 60%, then 70%, you add that with herd immunity, antibodies for people who haven't been vaccinated, and now we're realizing, wait a second, I mean, we're many parts, one body, what happens in South Africa can impact us here in the United States, so even if a state does well, that doesn't mean we're out of the woods. "Look, we're making progress, California has about a third of the hospitalizations we were this time last year, less than a third of the average daily case rates than we did this time last year, that's because of our higher vaccination rates."
  20. I don't think you're making the point you think you are. They were enacted over some ridiculous controversy by stupid people at the time. Highway fatalities decreased. And 40 years later no one sane drives a car without a seatbelt as some sort of political statement.
  21. WTF. No sane person thinks outlawing murder or requiring people to wear seatbelts to be politicizing the issue. Just like no sane person thinks wearing a mask during a worldwide pandemic or encouraging a vaccine against something that killed 800k Americans and left hundreds of thousands more with significant permanent health problems to be politicizing the issue. Reasonable can disagree on whether mandates are the best way to encourage vaccination or mask usage. But no sane person thinks that the efficacy of vaccines is a political issue.
  22. So by that theory, I guess we should take our murder laws off the books then. Since by enacting laws that make it illegal to kill people, we're making killing people a political issue.
  23. So then you think having to wear shoes when you enter a restaurant is political? Or wearing a seatbelt is a political issue? And whether you use a seatbelt is a political statement? Since they're mandated by the government.
  24. Imagine being the first team eliminated, and to do so twice in a row.
