    The only reason to take this shit is when ObiWanBlitzkrieg's prediction of 'freedom' being contingent on being a good little sheeple and showing them your papers.

    It certainly isn't for the health benefits based on any kind of clinical testing or data.

    There's reams more disclosure on the side effects of viagara than this shit - and who doesn't want a 4 hour boner?

    Fuck off, Moderna Fow Chee.

    A bit of clarification, por favor @PurpleThrobber: Are you suggesting there are no health benefits to anyone regardless of their circumstance or there are no health benefits to you personally speaking?
    whynotboth.gif?

    Unless you are old and/or have underlying conditions, there's virtually no chance of dying from the Vid. We have a year's worth of data on this. But we're supposed to swallow that a 'vaccine' rushed into production with less than a year of clinical testing works at a greater or has no discernable side effects?

    Show me the data. Or have we just reached the point of herd immunity that our own auto-immune systems have figured out/developed the anti-bodies?

    All about the Benjamins and control, man. The CDC starting to make mention that those vaccinated can gather together now is just the start. But if the vaccine works, why does it matter if someone who isn't vaccinated gathers with them?

    "Unless you are old and/or have underlying conditions, there's virtually no chance of dying from the Vid."

    This is a factual statement. If you're not and you don't have at risk family members then don't get it. It's a free country. Although, I'd rather you get the Wuhan flu so we? can chalk another one up to protect the herd.

    My circumstances are different, of course. 1 kid who's more susceptible to big issues from any crud + 2 sets of grandparents over 70. Further more, with another kid in private school, it would be a huge pain in the ass to have to yank him from class for 2 weeks because my wife and I got the stupid thing having a nice dinner out. All sound logic dictates for my wife and I to get it. That's us and I'm not advising others what do.

    Call me old fashioned, but I still trust the miracles of modern medical science to eradicate infectious diseases more than I trust OBK's word on the matter. They've got a pretty sound track record of progress over the years.
    Getting the J&J vaccine on Friday. The one shot vaccine which is a traditionally based none RNA replicator virus. Over 65 with both in laws over 83. Seems like no brainer for my wife and I. No reason for my kids to get it, but really no reason not to because by fall you probably have to have a vaccine card to board a plane.
    Imagine getting a vaccine to board a plane for a virus no more deadly than the common flu. It's about control folks, all about control. You'll be tracked like a tagged animal with a radio collar. Enjoy.

    I don't care if anyone gets it but don't fucking tell me I have to.

    I'm glad to read of all the people getting the vaccines so that I don't have to. Herd immunity ftw. I will only consider the Johnson & Johnson shot in a couple years if COVID is still a thing because it's based on long-standing science and methodology. Keep that RNA shit away from me.

    Medical applications using RNA manipulation have been around a long time. You just haven't known what has been injected into your body until now.
    These are the first vaccines produced in any large scale using rna technology.

    Actually, the relatively new shingles vaccine, Shingrix, aka Zoster, is a mRNA vaccine and not based on the actual whole virus and is much more effective than the older Zostavax vaccine. It is a two shot vaccine. My second dose really did a number on my arm. Sore for a week. I lived.

    Great. I'm sure it went through rigorous testing over several years, not 6 months. There is far more downside for me to getting vaccinated now versus LIPO. People who get vaccinated should go on with their lives at this point.

    Just spent a week in Bend and the homeless are generally stashed north of town and out of sight. Downtown area is clean and no sleeping bags or tents. 25% restaurant occupancy was generally considered a suggestion and not a requirement. D&D Bar and Grill (kind of a dive bar and grill, pretty sure my wife and I were the only "tourists" in there, was packed for Sunday breakfast and even had bar seating. Hope I make it to Friday for my shot before I die.

    They seem to stash them all just by the on ramp to 97 north of Downtown. There's like 1 homeless shelter in the entire town and the locales don't seem to accommodating. Contrast this with Salem which isn't that much larger of a city than Bend (101K v 169K) and you have a massive bum problem. But Salem is far more left leaning and has a large number of "gospel mission" type places. Fuck that.

    Bend ain't super RED anymore, but even the Dems here seem to be pretty chill about Covid. Not like Seattle at all where you get masked shamed in a park or walking down a residential side walk.

    Never wore a mask unless I was in a store and only for seconds in a restaurant. Lots of people outside not wearing masks. Actually, the parks were pretty full of families and kids and very few masks.

    Build camps out in east of the state. You don't have a right to sleep on the public sidewalk. If you're crazy we'll put you in a crazy camp. If you're homeless we'll put you in a homeless camp out in the desert, but we will no longer tolerate people shitting and sleeping on the sidewalks and we will arrest and prosecute anyone who engages in criminal activity.

    It's not rocket science folks, you want to clean up the homeless problem all you need is the will to do it.

    FDR already set up a good network of camps in the west. I'm totally fine with warehousing the problem away. The current solution is neither humane, nor just.
    I keep saying -Camp Vantage is the only way around this homeless/opioid shit. Put those fuckers on a bus and let them rehab their way back up the hill. Earn their way back to civil society.

    Once they solve that problem with the ass worms the vaccines create, I'll probably get the shot.

    Until then, I don't want worms crawling around in my ass.
