It's officially over

Everyone should read what Supreme Court Justice NEIL GORSUCH said here because it doesn't just apply for the United States of America, it applies to the whole world. What they did with the vaccine mandates was simply barbaric no matter which Country you live in.

Gorsuch condemns 'breathtaking' COVID emergency powers that crushed civil liberties

Justice Neil Gorsuch says all three branches of government share some of the blame for what he calls the "breathtaking scale" of emergency powers wielded by public officials during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Your favorite "freedom" guys get in, we are going to have all the "liberties" they say we can have ...if we are the right kind of humans. I know it's a sore subject, but it's fascism they are imposing in Florida.

But your so called facts are derived from dubious and often biased data definitions. Therefore they aren't facts. So it needs to be debated. Otherwise you will continue to make mistakes. I thought that would be important to your profession.

Nonsense. Let's see you give even three examples of facts I have supplied from dubious data definitions, let alone all data.

If you just make stuff up , how can anyone trust anything that you post

The amazing and lovely Physics Girl posted an update yesterday. Still bedridden with long covid, her life on hold and the future unknown.





The global emergency is over, but the individual ones are not.

Tragedy still comes even to our youngest and brightest.

I wish the full recovery of a true hero of science and education. This very forum shows how desperately we need heroes like her.

Two of our friends (one in his 20s, one early 40s) are in China now. Went to see family. Both have covid, like a bad flu. The older one in Beijing got a booster before he left and is faring better than the younger one in Xian whose symptoms are lingering.

How did the vaccine work for her?

How did the vaccine work for her?

I think EVERYONE can agree it depends on ones chosen definition of vaccine on any given day.

2018 Websters: Didn't work.

2018 CDC: Didn't work.

2023 Websters: Worked.

2023 CDC: Worked.

2023 Cambridge: Didn't work.

2023 Oxford: Undecided.

And now of course we have different levels of "vaccinated" one may identify as, including:

Vaccinated
Fully Vaccinated
Boosted
Up To Date
Not Up To Date

It seems the functionality of the vaccine clearly depends on what political party one identifies with, what level they identify with, and of course the definition they choose.

That right there is motherfucken science! Trust it!

...

No, it does not.

We just need to dumb it down for people who don't understand the basics... the very basic-basics... of cell biology. You do know what a "cell" is, right?

Here's a question you may be able to comprehend:
Does a "vaccine" (by whatever definition you chose, one that "works") keep a germ or virus from entering any cells? Does it prevent the disease-causing thing (germ, virus, bacteria, whatever) from entering the body?

Does it prevent the disease-causing thing (germ, virus, bacteria, whatever) from entering the body?

Does the presence of a "disease causing thing" in the absence of symptoms mean the body has the disease? No it does not.
