I’m fully vaccinated w/Moderna and have done/do my part to stay healthy. I’ve used BiNax now before gatherings or possible exposures etc. and try to be mindful of others. I am starting to question why vaccine companies are putting out data on boosters effectiveness before compiling accurate data on those with two (fully) vaccinations. Seems like that should be the control point, and it’s rather disappointing that they went that route. Makes me less confident in their motives, while we’re in the this kind of unknown time with the variant. Every time a question about full vaccination is brought up it’s a deflected-ish answer, but they know forsure boosters are necessary. They haven’t even put out data on if/how much more Moderna is effective in regard to using 100mcg of MRNA compared to Pzifers 30mcg. Are we supposed to believe something that uses 3x the active ingredients has the same protection? Would be nice to be treated as an adult.

Good lord, this is a very dangerous viewpoint! In this country everyone is guaranteed the right to form their own opinions and the right to express those opinions. But you wish to suppress the views/opinions of anyone that disagrees with yours. Are you scared that you might learn something that will force you to admit you were wrong or are you just intolerant of others views?

This viewpoint is exactly what is happening on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, etc, where discussion is not allowed, only agreement sharing is permitted. And if you were paying attention to such things, you would find out that often the accepted viewpoint turns out to be wrong. Think Jussie Smollet, Kyle Rittenhouse, the Covington kid, etc. And if you want to go WAY back, almost everyone in the world thought the world was flat, only a few brave souls thought it might be round.

There has been a lot of incorrect information preached as gospel with regard to the covid virus that later had to be discarded. Remember how at the beginning it was stated with conviction that the ones at greatest risk were the old folks and young kids? Turns out that was only 50% right, as it barely affected the kids at all. And the esteemed Dr. Fauci originally told us that there was no reason to wear a mask, and later changed it to you MUST wear a mask, then even should wear a double mask. WTF? Remember how we were told that everything would be great if we just shut down everything possible for 15 days? How did that pan out? Remember how we were told that it would take 4-5 years to develop a vaccine? Nope-got that done in less than one year! Remember being told that you would be safe if only you got the vaccine? Turns out that the vaccine loses its effectiveness pretty quickly, and you actually CAN still get the virus. Remember how they wanted us to all stay inside and then it turned out that more infections were happening inside the home than outside it? Oops. Do you recall how the use of hydroxychloroquine (sp?) was pooh-poohed and then a lot of doctors started to talk about how their patients were recovering from the virus much quicker when treated with it? yep.

The point of all this is to illustrate how what is thought to be a "known" can turn out to be wrong, and because of that it helps to keep an open mind. It helps to listen to other opinions and not discard them out of hand. Information changes as we have gone through this whole mess, don't be inflexible on what the "truth" is. I think it was Powell or Shwartzkapf (sp wrong!) that said when talking about war-"There are things we know we don't know and also things we don't know that we don't know". Same thing applies to this damn virus, I think anyone that takes a rigid opinion on it while refusing to consider other ideas is most likely going to be proven wrong in the end.

Also, in a global view, if the opinion censorship allowed to continue and spread through the mainstream media and social media, we will soon see the rapid decline in our country. It is essential to allow multiple views. Right, middle, or left-no side is right all the time. To suppress one side or the other will lead to ruin.

I posted it before, but Mike Rowe and one of his colleagues talk about "leaders" and elected officials eroding the public trust by coming out and making affirmative statements about the pandemic and then later having to walk them back because they were wrong. Not only that, but continuing to do it over and over. Fauci made an affirmative statement about omicron last week, just two weeks after the variant was discovered; how in the hell is he smarter than then entire rest of the world who are still using measured words to talk about omicron because there isn't enough data to say anything definitive? He's not, of course, but there he is still flapping his gums, I guess because people expect him to and everyone thinks he Christ incarnate, completely infallible.

Facts and opinions aren't the same thing, dumbass.

You are free to say whatever you want - I never once said otherwise. But I am also free to point out when people are lying or spreading BS.

I'm curious...what are you going to be offended by tomorrow?

I am well aware that there is a difference between facts and opinions. Unfortunately, you missed the whole point. There has been a LOT of stuff spread by doctors, CDC, Fauci, experts, media, talking heads, columnists, and internet wise guys that has later been proven to be wrong. So you need to be careful talking about "facts" when dealing with anything associated with covid. If a "fact" is later proven wrong, it wasn't much of a fact, was it?

You say that people are free to say whatever they want to, yet you also say that the board boss should not allow things YOU consider BS. Bit of cognitive dissonance there?

So you’re saying JFK Jr really is coming back?

 

[WASH ST A&M FAN]

Based on the number of college players making it in the league, Liam Ryan has a statistically better probability of making the NFL than either of us dying from COVID.

Than ANY of us dying from Covid.

A dry crack on Post #44 of this “Liam Ryan” thread and that’s all it took to be a true Covid exposure. Observer11’s dry jab……& ED swallows the F’n Hook and away we go 4 pages later.

TOO FUNNY!

You are absolutely free to express your thoughts as long as they are in complete alignment with 96’s myopic insults.

You should probably also go back and edit to include an accusation of lying or some name calling. Will definitely help your future social credit score.

Not at all, but Elvis and John Lennon are coming back. I am 100% sure that is a fact.

Elvis never left.

Elvis never left.

It's my opinion that what you just posted is a fact. Or maybe it's a fact that what you posted is an opinion. Oh, never mind.....

Hell yeah I’d quit my job, fly to Dallas and wait around for days on end if I thought Elvis was going to show up there.

 

[altolug]

These boards get over ran with vaccine shots/mandates. Everyone has their opinion about such. Arguing on a message is not going to change anyone's mind. Now back to sports chatter
