Masks

[Hards Alumni]

You know as well as anyone that trump controls both the CDC and FDA and they say whatever trump tells them to say. It hasn't even been a week since the CDC said it is no longer necessary to get tested if you have been exposed to Covid. If you fall for THAT science, then maybe you will fall for anything.

If you are ready to put up with the same consequences as when Pres. Ford rushed a vaccine IN AN ELECTION YEAR, then go for it. More people died from taking the vaccine (the scientists, under pressure from the White House, said it was safe) than from the Swine flu that the vaccine was supposed to prevent.

Until then, I WILL trust real science. I WILL NOT trust science that is pushed out by a lying, science denier who manipulates any data he receives to glorify himself.

Right.  And I know who to trust and who to not trust.  Don't worry about me.

He's fine for general medical advice, but when taking something as serious as a vaccine into consideration I prefer to rely on a specialist like Dr. Stella.

Oh come on, why bring that up. I had already forgotten about Trump's crack team of experts.

I love that they're all wearing brand new lab coats. They're not even trying to be clever with the gift, just like the Nigerian prince that's about to wire me my money.

For anyone who doesn't think American officials wouldn't rush a vaccine approval decision without knowing the full scope of the risks, a little history lesson:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/opinion/coronavirus-vaccine-trump.html?searchResultPosition=5

As it turned out, the H1N1 strain never made it out of Fort Dix, where only one Army recruit died. And, as it also turned out, this swine flu was not nearly as virulent as the 1918 influenza.

But fast-tracking the vaccine for broad distribution among the public carried risks. Of the 45 million vaccinated against the swine flu, an estimated 450 people developed the paralyzing syndrome Guillain-Barré and of those, more than 30 died. The National Academy of Medicine subsequently concluded that people who received the 1976 swine flu vaccine had an increased risk for developing Guillain-Barré.

The emergence of Guillain-Barré led the government to suspend and effectively end its mass vaccination effort in December.

----------------

I have always been very proactive in getting vaccinated, but in this case, I will get a vaccine only after it has been approved by both the FDA and the EMA (EU drug approval agency).

Metaphor of the Year!

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the story this morning. Not the we needed a metaphor, but sometimes it's right there, staring you in the face.

Authorities say the choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together

There were no reports of anybody dying or even getting injured, so it's just a plain ol' hilarious story, featuring the Metaphor of the Year.

I chuckle every time I think about it.

Starting to wonder how much mask wearing helps. Plenty of other variables but not the drop in positive cases I'd hoped for in WI.

I don't know that things have changed much even with the mandate. Feels like those who weren't wearing masks still aren't. Sure if they go into a store, but I'm guessing in most social situations people aren't.

Plus, you got the places that aren't enforcing.

Yep. You don't have to look very hard to find pictures of large crowds without masks at social events. I'm guessing many people only wear masks inside businesses because they have to, and take them off the moment they leave.

Goes to show that you can't mandate common sense.

Fake news!

It was a stealth strike by the Antifa Naval Force firing bags of soup.

Masks, not Masts, gentlemen...

I laughed.

But seriously, I was looking at mask's cousin - social distancing.

That it also was the Metaphor of the Year was just a bonus!

At yesterday's Narcissistic Propaganda Fest that he called a press conference, President Pandemic refused to take a question from a reporter wearing a mask, and later complimented a different reporter who wasn't wearing a mask.

Yes, he has done a wonderful job leading the country during the pandemic.

Journalist covering Trump rally is escorted out by Trump security because she sent this tweet showing that there were not many masks in the crowd. They literally tracked her down from social media and escorted her out.
