Indiana has taken a right turn. I don’t think a D will win a statewide election for a long, long time.
If you drink or smoke or obese shouldn't the hospital turn you away to? Sick argument.
I understand your point, and I agree with most of it. That said, the vax choice/decision is hardly "arbitrary'. Refusing to vax is not only ignorant but dangerous to the rest of us let alone the economy and education.
The more exposure Todd gets, the better Pete looks. That said, Pete's eyes are on bigger fish until they are not.
How can the unvaccinated be dangerous to the vaccinated?
When compared to you Joe’s IQs off the charts😝
So the smokers and obese should be turned away as well. They cause the taxpayers way more money in health care loses each year than an unvaxxed person ever will. And how is someone not getting vaxxed dangerous to anyone but themselves? Those vaxxed are transmitting and having break thru cases at alarming rates as well. Where has all your concern about health of those around you been the last couple decades while the obese and smokers have been costing taxpayers trillions?
This comment alone disqualifies you from any further discussion.
Unfortunately I think he would still lose. And for all the wrong reasons.
I would hope it was over policy and not that he's gay. Pretty pathetic imo if that's the case. That said I liked Pete during his campaign. After his paternity leave while we were in a crisis I would never vote for him for anything. Ever.
Hospitals should never turn anyone who is sick or injured away for any reason. They take an important oath and its one they should absolutely up hold.
Unfortunately its exactly why. The Hoosier state is the Mississippi of the north. I live here. Its as bad as I ever remember. His only shot would be getting the 18-40 year old's to turn out. They don't care about that shit.
Him being gay would be part of it, anyone who says otherwise is lying. He would already be facing headwinds in this state because he is a Democrat. Which means he would need strong turn out and support from the common Democrat core constituencies. Check the black community's views on homosexuality. Add that to that community already being unhappy with him because of how he handled some things in South Bend.
I am not sure how anyone could possibly need this explained unless they simply won't read and follow the basic...and I mean BASIC science.
Yeah, I don't think the gay thing is impactful and here is why.
They take in the uninsured and illegal aliens with no insurance but people want them to turn away people with covid? Once you open that can of worms you can never turn back. Talk about throwing the term " Compassionate USA" out the window. You might as well start the death panels at that point and determine who lives and dies.
He was purportedly "Off line" for a month. Regardless of whether he was on-call or not, for some of us it was the optics that mattered most. One you go to work. Two you don't take advantages the rest of us don't have. He took leave before he would have ever been even eligible under the Federal employee plan. Third the guy is making $250,000 to sit home. Four we were in a crisis. He should have been sitting with the CFR on his lap opened to the Transportation Regs section at the port saying I'm here fighting for you guys. Instead it was just more entitlement/virtue-signaling. 90% of life is showing up. I've always believed that you can put up with a lot of shit as they your workers show up and are trying and act like their job is a priority
Are you kidding me? You take dumb to a new level. If ADE happens where does that leave you? You just keep getting booster jabbed. I'm sure your immune system isn't worth a sh*t by now. But keep preaching you always make my day and keep me laughing.
You think the media ignored Afghanistan, inflation, etc.? Then you are at incredible level of dumb. No insight needed.
No it's just you...I know vaxed and unvaxed. It's a choice. And everyone I know respects whatever decision someone makes about it. I know people that have died both vaxed and unvaxed. To sit high and mighty and point fingers is ignorant. Covid seems to pick and choose who it wants to take. There's some protein or antibody or whatever people are with or without and they have not figured it out yet.
Respectfully, I think you need to go back and review the science. Coming from someone who is vaccinated, currently has COVID, and was infected by someone who was vaccinated. These vaccines are not like an MMR or the polio vaccine. They appear to keep you from getting as sick. However they do not protect you from getting sick, nor do they impact your ability to get other's sick. So the OP you responded to is correct, these vaccines are more about personal health for most. The only public impact is potentially helping to unburden hospitals.
It's worth noting here that the shots have gotten less & less effective with each new variant. Worked great with the OG strain, has not gotten to the point that it's just preventing severe illness. Still better than nothing I suppose, but certainly not the polio vaccine.
Absolutely, which is why I said that was already a major headwind he would be facing. When you start with a handicap like that, each and every additional thing that could turn a voter off from you is a hindrance. Being gay is a hindrance.
Why anyone would vote for Pete is beyond me, no qualifications. Did a great job as mayor of SB - just ask them. Who cares if he is gay or not the question is does he have qualifications and would he do a good job? No.
France announced the rollout of a series of new COVID-19 measures on Monday, putting limits on everything from bars to stadiums as cases surge in the country.
The jab narrative is more important than ever.
I personally know more people with Covid right now than ever before. Some knocked on their ass sick. But none in the hospital. All vaccinated. If the vaccines keep us out of the hospital they are a wonderful boon.
Why do you think getting vaccinated will get us out of this? It's the thing to do because it clearly reduces the likelihood of hospitalizations and allows us to maintain some semblance of normalcy but it won't get us "out of this" unless/until other countries, poorer countries, India, Pakistan, African countries, drastically improve their vaccination rates. Otherwise variants will continue to emerge and find their way over here where the vaccinated here continue to pass it on. Right? Or am I wrong on that front?
We make children get those vaccines to go to school and because they've been proven to work without serious side effects.
You are behind times.
I don't know about you, but i don't give a sh!t about someone's narrative. The data all show boosted people have better odds for not getting severely sick.
