Cliffs please. I don't want to read any statements (in full) by Fuckface von Clownstick.

Biden did bad by the pause, and was probably put up to it by Pfizer

But I thought donald personally developed these vaccines so why would he dabbling in conspiracies???!?!?!??

The biggest problem is the media coverage of this pause rather than the pause itself.

The US and EU largely funded and developed all of these vaccines.  It's hardly surprising they would claim dibs on a majority of what is produced. 

And also simultaneously blocking the ability of global south countries from developing vaccines based on the IP funded in large part by the public.

My wife mentioned to me that this rate is far lower than basically any birth control pill on the market.

quite literally one in a million

Agreed. Per wapo

The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday they are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the J&J vaccine. All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination.

Six!

I think I've said it here before, but...

 

When I was 18 my buddy and I ended up giving a girl a ride home after we caught a late movie. This was before cellphones, we lent her change for a phone call but nobody picked up. When I turned onto her street, a cop parked down the road turned on his lights and pulled me over. After giving him my license, he let me know that the girl was reported missing and that she was 14. After confirming with the officer that the two of us didn't do anything physical with her (she was never asked if anything had happened) he asked me to follow them to the police station and let me keep her in my car for the ride. When we got there the officer brought her to her mom, and told us to go into their break room and help ourselves to coffee. When he was done with the girl and her mom, he came to ream me out, not because we had a missing child in my backseat, but because she could have had a gun and shot me.

 

I think about this all the time now, whenever I see someone with darker skin than mine get blown away for way less than transporting a minor who had been reported missing earlier in the day.

Reminds me of an incident when I was in high school. I driving my girlfriend and her friend in my girlfriend's car. It was a nice, newer car and they were both in the back seat drinking alcohol. Obviously we were all under 21 and I believe I was not even 18. I wasn't drinking nor did I have a drink but I was driving them to the gfs house.

So that's the context. I turn left on to the country road just outside of town, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol officer (a  department notoriously full of assholes) pulls me over for going left of center which was bullshit because it's a country road and it's maybe 7 feet from the median to dirt. Everyone crosses the median except when passing other cars! Anyway, I get pulled over and I'm nervous as hell, as they are freaking out in the back because they can get kicked off the volleyball team or whatever if they get cought with alcohol. So I'm nervous and talking to the patrolman and I accidently call him "ma'am" which he did not take well. "What the fuck did you say to/call me?" Or something similar came out. I was able to bullshit about how my mom would kill me if I got another ticket (I had two previous tickets because I delivered pizza, it comes with the territory) and I was ultimately able to get away with just a warning. 

Recently I've also come to reflect on this experience, and I can't help but think similarly to you here. What if I had darker skin and midgendered a cop to his face? Even if it was on accident. Hell, until recently I never really knew what to call what I did to him. I can't even imagine how badly this could have gone.

And also, seeing as how race wasn't a thing that I could perceive in an all white community, what if I was driving my shitty car and the girls were obviously from a lower class than what they were, or if they were some of my guy friends? Would I just have gotten a warning? Would the cop believe my bullshit about why I was nervous?

You know we can only do that by talking about food. Like, did Harry Potter with all his money, ever help Ron and his family out on groceries. 

He bought Ron that candy the one time so basically yeah

I still never understood how poverty came to be in a world where you can do whatever with materials, and relies on a stupid denominational system of exchange.

@sblfilms some impressive cinematic real estate up if you're hungry

Can you be more specific in regards to how this case presents a civil rights violation? The keyword in that statute is "willfully"

That may be the catch but it would be up to a federal prosecutor to look into all the evidence

What civil rights violation would exist in a case like this?

If you're going to say anything, it's the only thing worth saying. "Wait and see". Better would be "it's a local and state matter, barring revelation of possible federal crime"

We don't do it to the extent we could or should but denial of civil rights is a pretty well traveled role for the federal government in cases like this

From what I'm seeing based current average number of daily vaccines, by May nearly one-third of the US population will be fully vaccinated, and could possibly reach half being partially vaccinated.

 

I'm curious to see when herd immunity starts to kick in, or at least hospitalizations start to significantly decrease.

"... So long as we haven't killed them before they get their day in court"

Cops should need clearance to have their firearm on their person like in the watchmen miniseries. Combined with fewer overall traffic stops it would drastically lower the number of police shootings.

Yes, thanks, for some reason the only thing coming to mind was sneckdowns. It was obviously wrong but my brain was stuck on it. 

My googling led me here which is a nice read on traffic calming strategies.

I know there's a specific term for this sort of design where you have narrow curves back and forth with shit in the way. @b_m_b_m_b_m It's not woonerf, it's specifically about the shit in the way of driving design, can you think of the term I'm thinking of?

That should be funded with general tax revenue.  I doubt that ticket revenue alone could fund what you are describing.  What's with you libruls not wanting to give money back to the people?  

I'm just shocked the libertarian isn't going with "don't engineer a scheme by the state deliberately designed to take money from people in the first place"
