"Science" is now the State Religion.

Oppose it and you will be ostracized. Stake-burning later.

Well except for the chromosome and gender thing. In that case the State Religion turns its back on science so people don’t get their feelings hurt.

Plagues have overtaken humanity again and again throughout history.  Thankfully we now have scientists who can make vaccines to head these things off.  I doubt we'll have such things for long though.  Sooner or later folks with the mindset of the people on this board will do away with all of it.

It’s a shame, isn’t it? Weaponizing and politicizing science and government, and using them against the people, as evidenced through clearly convoluted and inaccurate claims and information, arbitrarily changing “guidelines,” manipulation of death and case rates, suppression on social media of discussion about vaccines and what people are experiencing from them, official “dismissal” as “coincidence” of all claims of vaccine-related deaths or harsh suffering from side effects, and even suppression of and resistance to an open and through audit of our very votes.

Where once we trusted the government fairly implicitly on such things as votes and vaccines, the government richly and thoroughly and substantively now has earned our implicit distrust.

So you’re right. Next time, expect no trust in the systems and people that have so spectacularly shown that their interest is neither our safety nor our security.

Sadly, yes.  the Sabin vaccine is actually a mutated virus that doesn't make a successful infection.  But a mutant virus can have reversion mutations, where it mutates back to wild type, which is what the polio did.  Sabin's vaccine was developed to inoculate children in nations with poor medical infrastructure.  it doesn't need to be injected.  The current vaccines are either mRNAs or gene therapy vectors, and can't revert to a disease causing state.l

 An increased risk of .001%.  Flu kills .1% of its victims.  Covid kills 1%, and maims lots more.
From the CDC:
I am guaranteeing that the fetus is far more likely to be affected by an active COVID infection than a vaccine.
The pull of a Physician advising the public is a tricky thing.  My guess is they're really not thinking at all.  The sort of severe illness caused by Covid is really really bad for unborn children.  There isn't a mechanism by which an mRNA vaccine (or one from a gene therapy vector) could cause disease in a. fetus, and it is never happened that we know of.
Were there valid concerns I'd be a poser.  Since there are not I am trying to be a public servant.  Get the vaccine.  There is no reason not to, and you can help stop the spread of a deadly disease.

My only beef with this post is the CDC saying vaccines have not been shown to cause SIDS. Note the careful wording. They have also not been shown not to cause SIDS. We don’t know what causes SIDS.

I think making other nations trading partners, even ones with which we disagree, is really good policy.  Keeps us from going to war.  No matter how. much you think we've lost to China, it would be dwarfed by going to war with China.  Wars are expensive.

The keyword here is "partners".  The ChiComs are hardly partners on a level playing field.  We're free to buy their crap but they put huge tariffs on anything we want to sell to them.  Trump tried to level the playing field but was called racist for doing so.  I agree with you if they were indeed partners.  As it is, they are selling the rope we will hang ourselves with.

Well it did go through the wet market in my opinion, but it originated in the lab looks like. Probably somebody sold a lab animal to the wet market.

I feel quite confident that it was intentionally spread.
With the hatred and violence with which the fucking democrat commies
have fought against the truth coming out, you already know they are covering up something terrible.

And if you aren't vaccinated, well, good luck.  COVID sounds really nasty to me, and very random.

It is really nasty for some people. But it's not totally random. Front line doctors have determined a pattern. Mostly people under 50 with no underlying conditions (especially obesity) seem to do fine. Over 50 and underlying conditions are the ones that get sick. Needing hospitalization is what signals likely death. Early treatment avoids hospitalization and hence death, but one of the biggest blunders in this whole thing was the lack of early treatment.

We were told in the beginning by the CDC and the WHO to stay home and ride it out. Do not come in for treatment because we have no treatment. This was not true. We always had supportive treatments like steroids, quercetin, zinc, hydroxychloroquin, vitamin D (it was determined early on that low D was associated with mortality). Many of these early treatments were debunked because they didn't work in hospitalized patients.

But the doctors actually dealing with patients found they did work, if you gave them early. They were baffled by the expert guidance to do nothing. We treat flu early, we treat any disease that could lead to pulmonary dysfunction early, we don't wait until you are so out of breath you come to the ER in desperation. By then it's most likely too late.

But this reaction was in part due to the recent Ebola scare. So some practitioners were loathe to tell covid patients to come in early, for fear of spreading the disease. In retrospect this turned out to be terrible advice and led to many avoidable deaths.

There are exceptions of course, you can find young apparently healthy people succumb to it, but as a rule, we do know who covid targets and who it generally doesn't hurt much. It's not totally random.

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car. Being short, like many elderly woman are, neither of them could barely see over the dashboard.
As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The top light was red, but they just drove straight on through it.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, “I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light.”
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection, and this time the light was red again, and again they went right through.
This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red, but was really concerned that she was losing it.
She was getting really nervous now, and decided to pay very close attention to the road and sat up straighter to see what was going on
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red, and they sailed right on through it.
She turned to the other woman and said, “Mildred, did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row! You could have killed us.”
Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh Shit, am I driving?

No doubt since I don't rigidly tout the Conservative party line lots of people will pile on and call me names.  What the fuck ever.

No, we don't call you names because you don't tout the Conservative party lines.  We call you names because you're a douche.
