Has Fauci lost weight? He looks thinner and younger than I remember....

Crawdaddy79 · Nov 6, 2021, 10:13 PM

I agree with thinner, but not with younger.

SubCog · Nov 6, 2021, 10:45 PM

If I were him, I'd be funneling some of that funding into secret de-aging research. If at some point you start noticing him looking like he's in better shape, you'll know where your tax dollars have been going.

This is where you don't understand. He is actually 330 years old.

Not going to lie, anti-vaxxers are getting a little bit into my head and I'm watching my son like a hawk.
I contacted his school teacher to also keep an eye on him and send him to the nurse at any sign of discomfort.
I also scheduled him for a doctor's check up this Wednesday to make sure everything is ok.
My kids are my insides and I can't go on living if, God forbids, any harms befalls them

AllexxisF1 · Nov 8, 2021, 03:14 PM

I got both my kids vaccinated last Friday. Found the first center with shots available.

No side effects all weekend.

kytprice · Nov 8, 2021, 05:25 PM

Lost a old friend of mine today. Fool would not get vaccinated and it cost him his life. It's insane.

SD-[Inc] · Nov 9, 2021, 01:06 AM

There are two big lessons that I take coming out of this pandemic:

#1: We are all in this **** together. Whenever I go into a restaurant or fast food place where a bunch of workers are running around sweating in masks for most likely minimum wage. I tip 20-30% regardless of service. It's a small way to pay it forward.

#2: The pandemic gave people an opportunity to raise their voice and loudly proclaim: "I don't give a **** about anyone but myself." I was surprised how many people are like this. But, I am glad they came forward as it made it easier to exorcise them from my life.

Sorry Kytprice....goddam politics getting in the way of health...things are so f'ed up when this kind of stuff is going on.

Silent-Runner · Nov 11, 2021, 02:06 AM

we've all heard of people who've caught covid and got really sick, then begging to get vaccinated, but well, that's not how it works.

Still it's tough to lose someone, even more so if it would've been avoidable.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Kyt.

Is there any benefit to the Merck's pills when Pfizer's is that much better?!

I think it might be they want multiple suppliers in case one of them has production problems like the JNJ vax had early on.

SD-[Inc] · Nov 11, 2021, 03:39 PM

The new treatment pills are a double edged sword. Those that are already vaccine hesitant will take this news and harden their views. This will cause the spread of the virus to continue killing vulnerable people still. The pill is not a 100% cure. A lower percentage will die. But if the virus continues to spread, people will die. The only way to end the deaths is to end the virus.

Nunz · Nov 11, 2021, 03:58 PM

The vaccine is not a 100% cure either.

I don't know much about the treatment pill, but if there's an alternative to the vaccine, that is a good thing - it'll give people who do not want the vaccine a way around it.

The vaccine has not halted the spread of the virus, and there are plenty of vulnerable people incapable of getting it. Treatment pills that can help people survive the virus are a much needed solution.

You can't end the virus. That ship sailed over a year ago.

The vaccine is not a 1% cure

you can still get it and can then spread just as much as the unvaxxed and maybe more so as if you are vaccinated you are more likely to be asymptomatic and still spread it

the only thing the vaccine does is stop you from getting very sick with it 90% of the time

i don't care about the unvaxxed it is their life .

...
and That ship sailed when it left wuhan .

Agreed. It does not prevent the spread of the virus. That narrative is false and needs to stop. The vaccine is only good for helping survivability. Still good to have, but it will not stop the spread of the virus.

I'm sorry, but the study that article references is not a peer-reviewed study. If the study went the other way, I'm sure you'd throw it out for that very reason.

You would assume that and you would be wrong; when it comes to COVID, too many "knowns" have changed in the past two years to consider anything static.
