  1. He should be rotting behind bars waiting for his turn at the wall for his effort to overturn our admittedly shitty democratic system not singing on ABC this is where they really, truly do have the advantage
  2. KSA is an arm and ally of the Republican Party, not America. Same for Israel and UAE.
  3. This is the scariest thing this man has ever written
  4. Moderna wants the FDA to authorize its COVID-19 vaccine for kids under 6 WWW.NPR.ORG No deaths were reported in tests, and there were no signs of myocarditis, or heart inflammation, as a side effect. Over 7000 kids got the vaccine so this is good
  5. Nope. Unless that big portion is the western one because we’re the ones with the high ongoing and historical emissions that got us here
  6. 1 agreed 2 that remains to be seen, but if we get 90% reduction in severe disease/death but only 35% on infection this is wholly called into question 3 infection is more likely to cause side effects like myocarditis than vaccination, dumb point 4 were rapidly reaching or at the point where the issue is logistics (refrigeration and poor health networks as examples) being the biggest hurdle for vaccine uptake in the developing world over vaccine supply.
  7. There’s going to be large swaths of the planet, including the US, where it will simply be too deadly to go outside for very long due to dangerously high wet bulb temperatures. Add in a brown or black outs and you’ve got a mass casualty event in the summer. There’s no mitigation for this. The Midwest and SE are particularly vulnerable to this because they’re already fairly hot and humid. this also affects agriculture in many varied ways but the fantasy is reducing emissions. It is possible but it takes the political will (which under current leadership I don’t see admittedly)
  8. Don’t launder your opinions through an unnamed doctor, there’s a lot of opinions from other equally qualified or better doctors to say otherwise, particularly when you’re talking about simply not vaccinating a portion of the population because their risk is low (but not as low as it would be if vaccinated)
  9. There is no mitigation or engineering strategy or money or technology at all whatsoever to compensate for existing emissions and curtailing future emissions and thinking that there is is pure unbridled fantasy
  10. There’s virtually zero drawbacks to allowing people to choose to vaccinate their children why are you even fucking arguing this point
  11. We recommend flu shots for younger kids despite them being not great at preventing infection or against severe disease (and the flu is marginally more deadly than covid at this age, because again kids largely don’t die of disease). so the covid vaccines appear to give kids the infection protection of the flu vaccine (maybe a little less) and the severe disease protection of chickenpox vaccine. This seems like something we should do and is great until we get better shots.
  12. Chickenpox used to be such a big fucking deal and now it’s not. Because of vaccination. my daughter who is almost 6 got chickenpox approximately 5 years ago before she could get the vaccine. My pediatricians office had every nurse and doctor come in to look at her to learn what it looks like because people really don’t get it anymore, same for the pediatric dermatologist we went to because they couldn’t diagnose it initially. they didn’t know what it was! And you know what? We still got her vaccinated after infection
  13. Covid is a top ten killer of children and if a shot could virtually eliminate the already low risk of death and MIS-C and reduce the likelihood of infection it should be permitted stop dipping your toes in antivax nonsense. like with chickenpox it used to kill only about 100-150 people per year, hospitalized about 10k people, and infected about 4 million, and lead to shingles later in life. Given this why would we vaccinate kids against chickenpox???? CDC reference ^this is what you people sound like.
