Vaccine/Antibody updates

[jesmu84]

Is this the same president who's allowing covid positive immigrants to cross the border from Mexico, hey?

So I'm sure you agree anyone within our borders should be vaccinated.

Advocate Aurora Health just announced mandatory vaccination for its employees.

Good

Detailed announcement.  The mandate includes remote workers and those who have no direct patient contact.

Texas GOP Official Mocked COVID Five Days Before He Died of Virus

A GOP official from Texas who regularly espoused anti-vaccine and anti-mask views online has died from COVID-19, five days after posting a meme on Facebook questioning the wisdom of getting inoculated against COVID.

Apley is a staunch conservative and devout Christian. But based on his social media activity, Apley didn't believe COVID was going to affect him or his family.

In May, Apley posted an invitation for a "mask burning" being held at a bar in Cincinnati, commenting, "I wish I lived in the area!" A couple of weeks earlier, he posted a news article about giveaways and incentives meant to encourage people to get vaccinated, writing, "Disgusting." Apley also railed against so-called vaccine passports, which restrict high-risk activities, such as indoor dining, to the fully vaccinated.

Recently, he suggested that mask mandates in Germany were akin to Nazism.

How exactly was someone who mocked and spewed hate a good man in your books?

Because of what was said about him in the story.  Despite the mocking and less then kind words shared by posters here I hope everyone lives better lives out in the real world.

No, that's bad man spreading disinformation to people that need to be encouraged otherwise.

No one is celebrating, but can't say it wasn't coming. Hopefully his followers learn from his fatal mistake.

The virus doesn't care about your political beliefs, don't let your political beliefs let the virus get the best of you.

He didn't. He mocked and had unkind things to say about people. But he's a good guy in your eyes. Odd.

Recently, he suggested that mask mandates in Germany were akin to Nazism. And when former Baltimore health commissioner Leana Wen celebrated good news this spring about the Pfizer vaccine's efficacy, a seemingly outraged Apley called her "an absolute enemy of a free people."

Thanks for essentially repeating your earlier post.

Over 3,000 followers on his socials, yeah, not a good guy.

Why are you plagiarizing the Daily Beast?

Sounds like Apley was a truly terrible human being who didn't care about truth or about the lives of his fellow human being.

But yes, it's still sad he died of the virus he mocked. I sincerely wish that hadn't happened.

[4everwarriors]

So I'm sure you agree anyone within our borders should be vaccinated.

Got no problem with the 'hole fookin' adult wurld gettin' poked, hey?

[Hards Alumni]

Yes, he is working aggressively to prevent private businesses from mandating vaccines. It's right in the order.

So, not what you stated.  Also, I said show me the language.  I'm just asking for honesty here.  What you claimed does not exists.

It is a sad story for his wife and baby. They have my sympathies.

I have no sympathy for him. He was encouraging innocent people to die and to kill others.

[MU82]

So, not what you stated.  Also, I said show me the language.  I'm just asking for honesty here.  What you claimed does not exists.

Here is what I said about DeSantis:

He is actively, aggressively working to prevent vaccinations from taking place in Florida, despite sometimes saying otherwise.

Again, it's right in sections 2, 3 and 4 of his executive order. When you threaten private businesses with extreme penalties if they require proof of vaccinations, you are actively and aggressively working to prevent vaccinations from taking place in your state.

I'm pretty surprised you don't agree with that, Hards. DeSantis is definitely not helping the vaccine distribution process in Florida. Indeed, he is undermining it. Which helps explain why Florida has become Delta Central.

No, you cited the local rag.

You then took the commentary from daily Beast verbatim.   The beast had the original article, plus commentary.

Sorry, I obviously went back and clicked the wrong link. As you noted, it had the article and commentary. Sorry you think that quoting his words is somehow plagiarizing. 
If you would like, I can go back and find many more examples of his words directly. Would that make you happy?

Just curious why anyone would think this guy was a fine individual. Sad really.

Just commenting on the plagiarizing, that's all.  Don't care about this dude one way or another.

Plagiarizing is frowned upon in these parts.

Full articles yes.  Most quotes, including the ones used in the last page, are fair use for discussion.
