Yeap, you don't want to visit that part of NE, SD. The virus is not what makes this area bad.

That's the story for pretty much every indian tribe in america. It's no big deal though. @strummingram told me they had weapons when we tried to kill them off, so everything is cool.
 
it’s a toss up between nurses and teachers as to which are bigger attention whores and drama queens, but seeing as I’m married to a nurse, I’m going with nurses.

I know many people, including myself, that aren't going to be taking round one because of the timeline.
That's fine. I respect everyone's decision to be pro-vaxx or anti-vaxx for whatever reasons they choose. I never got the flu vaccine until my company started paying me to get it. I likely won't get the Covid vaccine unless I'm monetarily incentivized to do so as well.

It just amuses me how there are people who rip on anti-vaxxers for certain vaccines, but then are afraid of other vaccines themselves. They selectively choose when they trust the FDA and their scientists, I guess.

I have RA and some of my meds prevent me from getting some vaccines.

Steve Hahn is sketchy. I don't trust him. But if the consensus of respected scientists say this vaccine is good and it helps us get the economy and everything back to normal sooner then i'll take one.

It's not really a good comparison. You can't compare vaccines that were tested for years, if not decades, to a vaccine that was tested for less than a year. I trust that the FDA and scientists are bringing something to the market that they think is safe based on the data they have. The issue is the data they have is limited.

Im voting for the zombie apocalypse. Im armed enough to last a good while. Poor libs will be screwed
 
Well we don't have to worry about Gavin Newsom wearing masks alone in a car - he doesn't even wear them while at a dinner function! Do as he says, not as he does, apparently.


The absolute worst part of this story is that he was eating with people from the California Medical Association, among others.

Why anyone pays any attention to anyone giving out Covid fear instructions is beyond me.


"Not only do they call into question Governor Newsom's explanation that the dinner was outside they also reveal that two high-level members of the California Medical Association were there at the dinner with the governor and that’s sparking outrage. "
