The hysteria is going on in our city right now. Parents going crazy. And guess what? The school system is not teaching CRT in any way, shape , or form. This is tilting at windmills.

They as you do have no clue what CRT is. I don’t agree with the theory but schools should foster critical thinking of all sorts. That would be antithetical to you, because as near as I can tell you don’t put critical thinking to the test. The vast majority of your posts are links to other sites and articles; they apparently do your thinking for you.

I am quite sure I am right and quite sure you are an example of such.

Theories are just that. With theories you discuss evidence that does and does not support the theory. Done correctly it is an excellent learning experience regardless of topic. I am quite sure the same people that object to CRT being discussed are, by and large, the same that want the theory of intelligent design taught in public schools. Just more hypocritical crap.

Darwinism is now going to come to the forefront. The data is clear now: those that are unvaccinated are the ones that get infected at this point. So just open everything back up. Of course that means that some ignorant people that refuse to accept things like data and fact are going to either die or have long lasting illness. And it also means some little kids will likely die because of the stupidity of their loved ones. Bur Ron White is correct: you can't fix stupid. All because a national health crisis got turned into a political football. Hope those that supported such nonsense are happy.

Biden. You people are idiots.

The best football game I’ve ever seen.

Never read their stuff, never will.

Good idea.

Darwin may be the operative concept for such individuals.

MRNA vaccines have been researched for years and the Phizer and Moderna have 95% effectiveness. Your willful ignorance is amazing.

How many people have to die from this virus for you to understand the concept of vaccinations? Apparently over 600k in the US and millions worldwide aren’t enough. Give us a number of deaths beyond which you’d get concerned.

It’s willful ignorance. No concept of epidemiology.

No, it's herd immunity however we reach it. Your words. Not mine. What I said is herd immunity if done without vaccines would cause millions more deaths. Which is true, because it would entail everyone getting it, and having many more die. That is how natural immunity works. The rest you are correct on. People can make their own decisions. Some make responsible ones and some make irresponsible ones.

The mRNA vaccines have the RNA, some salts, and some fat molecules to help keep the RNA soluble. Once the mRNA is read for resulting synthesis of the spike protein it is degraded. What in there do you think will cause long term effects? An historical analysis of vaccine complications shows they are extraordinarily rare with any serious complications seen within weeks.

You want people to die or have long lasting complications from Covid, I guess. I don’t. And I’m glad your wife recovered, by the way. Sorry, just looked back at this. Too harsh. My bad.

Sorry but if you want herd immunity without vaccines then what you’re asking is for millions around the world to die. That’s the reality. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are incredibly effective; if we want people to not die from this vaccinations are the process to do so.

Pfizer and Moderna applications for full approval are pending.

No. The factual best way to end this pandemic is for unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. Period. Look at the history of viral diseases that no longer threaten the population.

Yep. Let’s get back to normal. Best way to do that is by vaccinations.

If she has been infected that is one thing. Data is still being obtained on how long immunity lasts in those that had contracted the virus.

Thank you as well for writing this. Again over 40 years in research, and I sit on an FDA advisory panel (not Covid related). People criticize response to Covid, Fauci, etc. because they have no idea of what science entails. We are trained as scientists to continually experiment and analyze data as new results come in. As new data is obtained, theories change. That is precisely how science is supposed to work. Scientists and clinicians dedicate their lives to improving the health of society. To that end, we rigorously evaluate each other’s work. I review dozens of papers a year for publication and reject the majority because of weaknesses in study design. The FDA panel I sit on does exhaustive reviews of new products and devices to ensure they do what they say and won’t introduce harm. Those who are against vaccines and other preventive measures fall back on unwarranted criticisms. It gets ridiculous.

Thank you for writing this. I have been involved in both clinical and basic science research for over 40 years. The loss of 600k people plus the unknown number of individuals with long term complications from Covid are a tragedy. And another is how this pandemic has exposed the ignorance of our society to basic concepts of science. Some of this is simply because they have not had the education, but what is truly frightening is the willful ignorance of people to just discount things like facts and data.

I’m surprised it won’t be downtown.

That is a lie and you know it.
