    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.

    Every other vaccine takes five or ten years. This one takes six months.

    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.

    It’s comical how slow things are moving here in Washington

    I’d hate to know the going rate of vaccines not being utilized are at

    I'd thought WA had picked up the pace, but I haven't really been paying attention lately.

    Whatever you think of the vaccine, it's actually pretty impressive how fast it was developed, manufactured and distributed (after some bumps). The US is far outpacing basically every where else.
    These vaccines are truly amazing in terms of how quickly the were developed and their effectiveness. Hard to grasp that we live in a country that can have such advanced medical science and technology and yet many of our cities are filled with human shit and junkies.
    It's pretty pathetic that we can be the most advanced nation on Earth in so many respects and allow 3rd world conditions in our cities. Not very progressive if you ask me.
    3rd world conditions all because we lack the political will to do anything about it other than to just throw money at it and turn our heads.
    Moving away from Seattle to medium sized town has really been an eye opener. It really is a Field of Dreams problem for society. If you build it they will come. If you don't the bums will go somewhere else. Seattle, Portland, LA, SFO, SD, etc all have massive homeless, industrial complexes.

    The homeless industrial complex is worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year. I don't think anyone is all that interested in fixing homelessness and killing the golden goose.

    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.

    If you're going to be a drug addict and you don't want to work and you want to fund your addiction through crime what better places are there to be? You can use drugs right out on the street with impunity. You can commit crimes in order to fund your addiction all without fear of being arrested. You'll get "free" tents and food. Those cities have all thrown out the welcome mat for bums and junkies.

    Just another reason why the Chinese are going to clean our clocks. Anyone think China was tossing around trillions in Covid relief to their populace? Anyone believe China spends hundreds of millions to take care of their criminal, drug addicted homeless population? They are going to roll over us like we're a small speed bump.

    Can't tell if you're serious, but I don't trust vaccines that are rushed. It's probably worth it for people over 65 or 70 or people with bad immune systems. People constantly ask me if I got it at work, when I go in person. If you got it, why the hell do you care? Aren't you good now?

    We've had a year to tell people to go outside, lose weight, eat better, exercise, and build up their immune system. I'm sure family drs say that, but a near worthless media sponspored by big pharm doesn't say anything like that.
