Joe Ferguson forever

Bs. I understand ignorance in vax rates very well. Access wasn’t very important when there was no effective treatment. Please link an article illustrating that vax was most important when access was adequate. The vast majority oh the ICU pts and dying patients were unvaxed. The unvaxedused the most resources while dying more frequently.

Not obvious at all. Early on there was no treatment which was also true even after the introduction of the vax which was widely available. As Billsy has linked, vax rates were the most important variable. Mask use was also a significant variable in many studies. Masks were widely available when the vax came out.

by mid pandemic, there was plenty of vaccine. The statistics that Billsy linked are fact. Red states did worse than blue ones...

I am a doctor. It never goes away. Still boarded and licensed just retired. Masks are always single use. No one ever recommended otherwise except when there was a ridiculous shortage of N95's and cleaning methods were recommended. Whose fault was the shortage? Why do MAGAs hate science so? Oh right, cuz it doesn't fit with your narrative. Neither does truth.

I practiced in a rural, very red area with some of the worst infection and death rates. No coincidence that compliance with public health measures and vax rates were awful. There was an excellent study done by Vanderbilt comparing morbidity and mortality in affluent, well educated and more compliant Nashville to red hillbilly areas. Guess which place did much better.

Link? Why do so many doctors still weAr them? Why are they required in the OR? Produce an article from a scholarly journal that supports your blanket statement.

based on what?

other presidents have set precedent

explain. you mean cuz he's going to lose? He's promised to pardon the J6 "hostages".

Is she really this stupid? Or is she just playing to MAGA cult members she knows are stupid? Thoughts... https://www.yahoo.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-urges-americans-174108938.html I vote for the former. She has a very simian appearance...

Tough to do from prison....

Why would you post that?

Not meant to amuse. Meant to stick these images in rube’s heads

Keep trying. I used to post more on the football side. Here my nemesis was DC Tom and sometimes Chef Jim. I've dug some holes for trees and shrubs this spring. But that's about it. You?

Remember that story about money changers in the temple?

So I guess u believe trump was chosen by God to be prez?

This guy reminds me of Deniros character in “ Cape Fear”

MAGA harkens back to the fictionalized time of the nuclear family, eating TV dinners, playing Little League and enjoying Bing Crosby. Smiles and hugs all around. Sadly, this is almost the polar opposite of who many of them are.

Well, your first 2 points were convincing and well presented. I can't think of a pot big enough to stir to justify Jan 6.

Yet your son remains. He. Must have gotten his mother’s genes

I never felt that way growing up in wny as an R in a conservative family. I don’t recall open hostility based on politics. Perhaps both sides are to blame but the current iteration of the R party is much less civil than I ever recall.

Self segregation. Neither Florida nor Texas were ever on my move list. But I live in a conservative area, am known to be liberal and get along fine with most everyone. There’s a culture of politeness and hesitancy to openly disagree, especially in public. It’s just not done or accepted. Civility is expected. I abide the rules. Not so in the places I’ve been recently in Fla. I spent a month in Gainesville during college. It wasn’t anything like what Fla is now. I agree that small towns help temper this animosity No one wants to be friendless.

I wouldn’t live there or even visit. It’s too in your face. Even at nice places there are loud, annoying tables making known their MAGA dom to everyone. Not pleasant imo. Feels grabby and uncomfortable.Perhaps some would feel the same in a coffee shop in Ann Arbor- totally different vibes. Maybe that’s where we’re headed: self imposed segregation.

Our friends took us to a diner for breakfast before we started home. Simple but polite. Almost genteel. And the pancakes were very good. I’m told they have some nice fine dining but my friend fired up the grill for dinner. William and Mary’s campus is idyllic.

If “pancake”=colonial and William and Mary is a shite school, you are correct. Congratulations on your kid getting in. Highly competitive…
