My wife and daughter had it and they did an awesome job keeping it from me so far. I got all the underlying issues plus and issue where my immune system appears to be attacking the lining of my eye. SO , i started taking immuno suppressive drug on 10/1. It is one of the drugs they give people that have had an organ transplant so the body does not reject the new organ. , yea , I suck

The small chips they implant dogs and cats are not tracking they are simply passive read only chips that show a number when read with a scanner.

Ridiculous statement and absurd reporting from liberal media!! Anyone dumb enough to believe massive mail in voting resulted in issue and fraud free election should be put in a straight jacket.

Ridiculous statement indeed. Every new congress passes bills upon convening. When the democratically controlled congress convened in 2018 and Nancypants took control of the house, what was the first bill they passed, HR1? Why is H.R. 1 such an important legislative vehicle? Bill number 1 is usually reserved for the top legislative priority of the party in control of that chamber ... was it healthcare reform, tax reform, small business aid, immigration reform? NOPE, it was election reform touted as "revitalizing American democracy", "anti corruption", "election integrity" barf

What it really was was to water down election laws and expand access to ballots.

Some democratically controlled state legislators also decided to send thousands of ballots to anyone who wanted them whether they requested them or not, whether they were actually registered to vote or not, whether there was any control measures or not, whether signatures mattered or not, whether they were received prior to Election Day or not or even 9 days after.

So yea, they do have an influence on how to conduct elections. And yea, they knew exactly what they were doing when the state legislatures threw laws and commons sense out the window under the smokescreen of Covid to conduct their elections because they knew there was no other way their candidate could win. And Nancy was smart enough to ensure that back in 2018-2019 regardless of the candidate.

So you are either ignorant of facts, have no common sense or have blind loyalty.

Our legislators have long since stopped listening to we the people. Yet they somehow keep getting re-elected. I'm real tired of all the BS being thrown around about cheating, etc. PROVE IT.....allegations are one thing, hard proof is another. I haven't seen that yet. Were mistakes made? Probably it happens every election but I would submit that the majority of the officials conducting our elections are fair and honest. For there to be this nation wide cheat/steal of this election is ludicrous....we cant' even agree to cooperate on something as simple as wearing a mask or not. And people think the mysterious "they" could pull off an election scam?? Maybe in a movie but in real life many people have a hard time keeping a secret and this would be a secret of enormous magnitude and somebody somewhere would slip up.

When there is a vaccine released I will certainly look at getting it. I'm not worried about being secretly "chipped" or anything else by getting it. I'm an "olds" and ain't worried about no stinking chip...I have tinfoil...:)

Fauci said today on CNN that the vaccine will only be 90% effective, and no one will know whether it’s effective for them or not, so masks and social distancing will still be needed.

Re: 2021 - 11/15/20 08:49 PM

If it is 90% effective and cases and hospitalizations get back to a flu-like scenario, I hope we can get back to normal. Till then, we will have to remain vigilant until it's proven it works long term. I'm assuming a booster will be necessary like the current flu shot.

The current flu shot isn’t a booster, is it? Each year, a different flu shot is developed to target the three strains of flu they expect to be an issue. This means you have to get a new vaccine every year. A vaccine booster is the tetanus shot, which is recommended every ten years, thought.

Tetanus is every 5 years for adults...or at least that's what the doctor told me the last time I had to have one...

The flu shot is anywhere from 28% to 49% effective, depending on the year....this is 90% effective....the MMR is 93% effective against measles and 88% against mumps. 90% means life will get back to normal and Fauci can go away.

Right, but a tetanus booster is the same vaccine every time, right? A flu shot is a different vaccine and only lasts one flu season, if they even get it right any given year. That’s what I’m trying to clarify. Five years vs 10 years isn’t the question I have. It’s that the flu shot isn’t a booster. It’s a new vaccine every year. The tetanus shot is a booster.

Yes, but no....the flu vaccine is formulated to what strains of influenza they think will be out and about that year...so, it's not a booster, but it's sorta the same vaccine as there are only so many strains of influenza. So I'm not sure what you'd call it, other than a cash cow for pharmaceutical companies.

Re: 2021 - 11/15/20 11:42 PM

Kinda like rabies. There isn't 1000 strains of rabies out there, but we still give the dogs a shot every year, or 3, depending on which vaccine you give them....
Posted By: LoneStarSon

Re: 2021 - 11/15/20 11:45 PM

Plus, I think the fact the flu vaccine isn't really effective (less than 50% in any given year) makes it very different from this one....90% means 90% of the people given the 2 shots should not get the virus. It should control it.

cheers

I think that’s a booster. The flu shot is not, because it doesn’t cover all strains of the flu forever (and dog vaccines are different, because dog metabolisms are vastly different from ours).

I’m being semantic and I apologize. This is just how my brain works, but it doesn’t matter to the larger conversation.

I've read where you really shouldn't have to give your dog a rabies shot every year, because they should be covered once they've received their shots as pups...but I've also read where the one year vaccine may only be good for up to 3 years...I get it for my dogs regardless and they are over 15 years old, but it is interesting...is it a booster that is necessary, or is it something the vets and pharmaceuticals want to make money on? I'm not gonna risk it, but I am less trusting than I used to be.

Oh lord. I’m not going to risk it either, but I could definitely see it being a money grab by veterinarians. Same goes for heart worm preventative. Surely there’s a way to prevent it for a lifetime without a monthly or annual preventative, but there’s no willingness to, because every dog has to get tested and prescribed hundreds of dollars worth of meds for it.

I think the Covid vaccine will be a good time and move the Country forward.

Masks will probably be mandated by the new Administration, but again if that's what it takes to get past the Virus (to me) that's not a big deal either.

Well steveiam I really haven't paid much attention to the last 4 years of non-stop political posturing by either party. I pretty much ignore the sh** show that comes out of Washington. As long as we have a divided govt. I'm not overly concerned about any game changing legislation being passed, ie. court stacking, dumping the aca, you name it. If we're lucky the geriatrics in congress might pass a bill to help those folks who need it, i.e. the unemployed, etc. But given the statements from both sides of the aisle I suspect it will too little and too late for many people.

So in 2021 I'll just keep getting ready to retire, show up at work and do my job, fish when it's nice, ignore the nut jobs out in the world with their conspiracy's, and make sure my garage frig has cold adult beverages in it...:)

You would think that the same people that want to keep the country open would jump at anything that would get us to herd immunity and slow the spread to a point where its not an important factor anymore.

This thread just shows how many who want to stay open also want to ignore the cure.

I will take the vaccine when it becomes available. I am an old so I should be allowed to get it fairly early on after the front line workers all get it.

The current flu shot isn’t a booster, is it? Each year, a different flu shot is developed to target the three strains of flu they expect to be an issue. This means you have to get a new vaccine every year. A vaccine booster is the tetanus shot, which is recommended every ten years, thought.


Tetanus is every 5 years for adults...or at least that's what the doctor told me the last time I had to have one...

The flu shot is anywhere from 28% to 49% effective, depending on the year....this is 90% effective....the MMR is 93% effective against measles and 88% against mumps. 90% means life will get back to normal and Fauci can go away.


Right, but a tetanus booster is the same vaccine every time, right? A flu shot is a different vaccine and only lasts one flu season, if they even get it right any given year. That’s what I’m trying to clarify. Five years vs 10 years isn’t the question I have. It’s that the flu shot isn’t a booster. It’s a new vaccine every year. The tetanus shot is a booster.

This may help.
