This is all that really needs to be said about anti-vaxxers....

I would rather see a vaccine mandate (i.e. a real mandate with no opting out for fake "religious" claims) rather than a mask mandate (permitting opting out for fake "religious" claims).

Gallup: Fewer than half of Americans belong to a church or other house of worship

(RNS) — While Americans still believe in God, a growing number have dropped out of organized religion.

Interesting, not sure how the public would receive it.

Let’s start with the teachers, once they reach 100% we can mandate it for everyone else?

No other disease in history have we made these concessions for the immunocompromised? Why now? Seriously why now?

625,000 dead Americans in a year just may be part of it. Ya think?

Embrace the nanny state. The vaccine is available to everyone, governments role is now done.

Saw elsewhere where insurance companies will soon stop waiving copays and deductibles for Covid related medical expenses. Lots of unvaccinated people are going to get hit hard in the pocketbook.

So lives only matter for 12 years or are there a certain number of kid deaths that are ok with you?

Even if they live, are we just supposed to ignore the other issue - long term health issues that is being caused by getting covid

Everyone over 12 can get vaxed, those under 12 are not really affected much by this thing, thankfully. From a public policy perspective this thing is a wrap.

That’s not to say kids and immunocompromised don’t sometimes die. That’s true from COVID, even more true from the flu.

But life goes on and you need to drop your fetish.

All those deaths are a big part of it. We were told daily that if we don’t adhere to all those “emergency” orders the politicians are so fond of we die.

Take it more seriously? How? I’m vaccinated, as far as I’m concerned my contributions end there.

I don’t go around shaming other people over their mask and vax decisions because I’m not an asshole.

People really shouldn’t be citing death statistics pre-vaccine. It’s a cheap, lazy scare tatctic.

The limiting principle for these jokers seems to be zero COVID, which is scary…

Meanwhile, the non-crazies are making their voices heard. This guy reminds me of my own family in TN, who were appalled that people were threatening fellow parents after the school board meeting in Franklin last week...

NYC seems to be having no issues whatsoever, with vaccination rates high and proof of vaccination needed to go anywhere or do anything, and high rate of mask wearing too. It's areas with antivaxxers/antimaskers that are a mess.

Be honest... During the height of last summer's surge if people told you that within a year we'd have a life-saving vaccine, would you believe there'd be people stupid enough to refuse to take it? Does any sane person excuse morons who refuse to take smallpox, polio, or other vaccines which were also once "new"?

I understand rates go up, seasonally. But what you are doing right, right now, will help later also. I don't "fancy myself" anything, other than a chemistry prof. and non-moron.

The vax offers enough protection that it’s not rational to be worried about an adverse reaction to COVID once you have it.

So get vaxed, and leave other people the hell alone.

Isn't about time some of you guys drop this ridiculous hatred of shooter to the point that you stop belittling his credentials, which have actually been established as far back as the decade or more when I first joined the board? Some of the posters who question his intelligence are of the "quality" that they do nothing more than embarrassingly expose anyone who agrees with them as an absolute moron...

If he didn’t cite his credentials so often, he wouldn’t get belittled. He’s a big boy, and a fair weather patriots fan, hopped on the Bandwagon with Brady.

Yeah because the people too stupid to get the vax would never do anything to endanger others... Like send kids they know are infected to school, or refuse to isolate once their stupidity catches up with them...

Maybe these officials in GOP-controlled Mississippi have the right idea...

Mississippi threatens fines, jail time for Covid patients who don't isolate

Mississippi State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs indicated sentences as long as five years could be in store for Covid-19 patients who fail to isolate.

Well, I hopped on the bandwagon when Brady beat the Dolts in his first start as a heavy underdog back in 2001. Pretty sure shooter was a fan prior to that.

I don't discuss football on this forum,

Shooter's bona fides have been made plain to me and to a lot of others who take the time to read his postings and follow what he's getting across. He does a good job of putting the more difficult concepts into terms that laymen like me can understand. I value his contributions here greatly. That he may not have been able to help you understand is not for lack of effort and no fault of his.

He's nothing but an internet 'expert' who is a political hack.

Hey, I don't mean to talk down to anybody. I am a cow milking hay baling Hoosier farm boy who happened to go to college in 1980 and liked science.

41 years later I have learned a few things. In an age of scientific disinformation, I feel the need to step up, answer questions, and explain things as best as I can.

I don't expect to change a lot of minds, but one now and then will do.

Lol you filter your opinions through hyper partisan bullshit until garbage spits out. Scientists should never set policy. I believe u know chemistry. Little else. Add 41 years of academia to it and you are about as far removed from reality as a human can get. Anymore removed you'd be making up stories about MAGAs hunting you down
