Wasn't correct at the TIME??  Had to go back to 1987.  I can pick any day of the week in the last 40 years, where he lies through his teeth.

That's pretty serious when you lie about your achievements in college, and lie to the public to get elected.  

So he achieved 3 undergraduate degrees did he?  He received 1.  

So he finished at the top of his class?  He finished at the bottom.

So he was an "anthracite coal Miner, mining HARD coal", was he?

This guy does nothing but lie.

And let's now look at his recent lies.  

He stated that "once you're vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask"?

He lied. What a shocker.

It is what Joe Biden does.  

And you suck it up like Pablum.  Then again, it would take you having criticized your political leadership even 1 time in the past 12 years here, to indicate that you have an ounce of credibility, which you don't.  

You're a leftist sheep.  Pathetic.  

Baah, Baah

Your Blame Game towards conservative Republicans is getting to the point of complete absurdity at this point.  

Fully 1/3 of all healthcare workers in the Nation's capital have not gotten their covid vaccinations, so the logical assumption for you to make is that healthcare workers, doctors, nurses, and any practitioner is to blame for the Covid deaths.

Got it, glad to understand you now.

I have for the most part kept my thoughts  on Covid to myself. Way too many differing opinions from "experts" both real and imagined for me to make a truly informed decisive call on this Covid thing. I caught it, survived it with flying colors and resolved to wait and see. That doesnt mean I dont have questions though.
 
1st and foremost being *What exactly is the proposed endgame here?* *Exactly when do we resolve ourselves that it is just another reality we need to recognize and move on from?*

It certainly isnt going to just magically go away. *At what point do we accept that less than 1% of those who get it may die and accept that as just a reality along the lines of a certain percentage of folks die in car wrecks but we still drive cars?* *Do we just continue to cancel, postpone and reconsider or do we get on with our lives?*

I understand and accept that Covid can be deadly for SOME people and that this isnt likely to change, I also understand that shellfish and strawberries can be as well. What I am not willing to do is give up my free will and liberty so that others can assuage their irrational fears.

We need to either get busy living or get busy dying....but its high time to choose and get on with it.

Your posting indicates logic and reason.  

According to the NIH director, whom I "heard" on the television today (oops, time for the caped crusader to swoop in to call me out on my conspiracy theory  ), he indicated that it was a great idea for children to be masked up at school because of the Delta Variant.

My question to him, which the pundits on TV always fail to challenge these bureaucrats with, would be this simple one:  "If we are masking children in schools everywhere to keep them from spreading a virus that is FAR less deadly (literally magnitudes less deadly) to children than the Yearly flu is to those children, why aren't we masking up children from here on out, until the end of time, in order to make sure that children do not die of flu"?

It is an indisputable fact that every single year, without fail many, many more children DIE from the regular Flu than have died or will ever die from any variant of the Corona virus.  Over 800 children died of Pneumonia last year.  According to the CDC, they won't put an exact number on it buy they say about 330 died from Corona Virus in 2020.

In fact Dr. Marty McCary of the Renowned Johns Hopkins university has written about the Delta Variant and its threat of death to children.  

According to Dr. Marty McCary of the Renowned Johns Hopkins university, unless a child has a relevant Co-Morbidity that would put said child at risk, the odds of a school age child dying of Covid, the Delta variant is ZERO.  Those are his words.

He has also stated that many individuals in the US (those like RK) have a distorted (warped and twisted)  view of just how dangerous the latest variant of Covid is to all of us.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/08/dr-marty-makary-americans-have-distorted-perception-of-covid-risk.html

So then if that is the case, that school age children have always been much more likely to die from the ordinary Flu, why should we not mask up all the children every year continuously and always in order to keep these children from dying from the flu?

I would hope that the Resident RINO here can swoop in on his cape and answer that simple question above.  

That would be great!

Wrong.... once again and as usual, because you're totally uninformed and rely upon getting most of your information from uninformed people as well as idiots like Don Lemon and Fredo Cuomo of CNN.  You gotta' change that if you're interested in knowing what you're talking about.  

Maybe if you actually read something once in awhile other than article headers only when you post a link, you might not be so deeply in the dark about things going on around you.

That would be a good start.

A survey done by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), whereby 700 Physicians responded, found that fully 60% of them indicated that they were NOT Fully vaccinated against Covid. 

Now I'll help you out here and inform you that 60% of 700 responders amounts to 420 Physicians not fully vaccinated against Covid.  

In your bizarroworld, that has to be quite shocking for you to hear.

It should also be noted that healthcare workers are comprised of all walks of life, including conservatives, so it''s to be expected that some will parrot the conservative anti-vaccer line. And the point of the post is that conservative POLICIES, driven by conservative politicians, are making things far worse have they have to be. And, of course, unrecognized by conservatives, is the fact that mortality rates vary by location and country:
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality
Ultimately, the real concern is the creation of another variant that may prove resistant to the current vaccines and we all have to start again. Why that doesn't concern the conservatives along with more than four million dead worldwide and with more than 613,000 dead in the US thus far is beyond belief...

Wait a minute, you don't know?????  Well then why on Earth are YOU posting something that YOU haven't verified before you spouted off??

According to the Caped Crusader JB here (whom I expect to swoop in any minute to call you out for your misinformation), you MUST be propagating a "conspiracy theory" that you drummed up in your own head 

Isn't that something!

"Though AAPS often takes positions that are associated with conservative groups, it sometimes goes even further, pushing fringe views that most mainstream conservatives do not endorse, such as the belief that mandatory vaccination is “equivalent to human experimentation” and that Medicare is “evil.” Over the years, the group seems to have coalesced around an ethos of radical self-determination and a belief that mainstream science isn’t always trustworthy. It’s the most curious of medical organizations: a doctors’ interest group that seems more invested in the interests of doctors, rather than public health."
"AAPS has been called the Tea Party’s favorite doctors, but it’s actually a more fitting health-care group for the Trump era. As Trump has contributed to sowing doubt about the scientific consensus, AAPS is seizing the moment. The group just wants to make health care great again—even if that means tearing it apart."
"In 2008, an article on AAPS’s website suggested that President Barack Obama was covertly hypnotizing people with his speeches, and that this might explain why Jews voted for him. AAPS’s journal, the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, has published articles raising doubts that HIV causes AIDS and questioning the wisdom of urging people to quit smoking, according to the Louisville Courier Journal."

LOL!!  Another attack the messenger posting from you, what a shocker.

You're learning well from your sidekick James.  Is he providing with online classes or does he just send you PMs?  

So then, anything that shows stats or facts that differ from your propagandist narrative, are to discounted directly out of hand.  

Got it!

Their "facts" speak for themselves...

Fringe Group?  They've been around since 1943.

When did they say vaccines aren't safe and effective?

When did they say smoking isn't harmful to your health?

When did they say HIV and AIDS aren't related?

I imagine you grabbed some snippets of something that a smear group posted and attributed the broad statement smear you just applied to them.

Please be specific.

And guess what, a line from Wikipedia doesn't cut it.


Show me their writings in full, not some snippet or line that some smear group is promoting.

Read the link in post #7. You want their "writings in full"? Look 'em up for yourself. You ought to do the same for their "online" polling on the vaccine issue, too. "Online" voting on vaccinate or not to vaccinate for covid, what a joke!

Show me where they said anything that you claimed.

I asked a specific question.  Point out your assertions and give me a link to their writings.

I don't need some Leftist rag "The Atlantic" to tell me they're some sort of fringe group. 

Other than the author of the "Atlantic" article telling me what they stand for, prove your bullshit.

You're full of shit as usual since you're not bright enough to provide any evidence.

My nonsense. You're full of shit, and that is all that needs to be said.  

Like usual, you jump around the internet to find another leftist dumbass like yourself who mischaracterize the words, and smear anyone who goes their leftist agenda.

These leftist rags appeal to the idiots out there on the left who just blindly suck up their lies.

You're one of the them and you can't defend their bullshit.

Is there any other crap and lies you want to spew today?

Well, agreeing with Greg is your first mistake. His figure about the death rate from covid is wrong and I cited the link from John Hopkins to back it up. Moreover, you don't need to agree with Greg that "it certainly is not going to go away." That's obvious from the covid Delta figures. For instance, Ron DeSantis' Florida had its highest number of covid cases (21000+) on Friday, higher than when the pandemic began. AND WHY? It's because the majority of those not getting vaccinated and opposed to wearing masks are Republicans! There's no mystery about it. You don't have to agree with Greg that it's not going away, it's obvious...

You stated this:  "It's because the majority of those not getting vaccinated are Republicans"!

Prove it.

Dr. Marty Makary from Johns Hopkins:    https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scottmorefield/2021/06/29/johns-hopkins-doctor-blasts-delta-variant-fearmongering-calls-more-masking-overkill-n2591799

From the article:   

Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins:    "You're gonna hear a lot of fearmongering about the Delta variant, so let me break it down. It is about 40 to 60% more transmissible, but no evidence that it's more deadly. We were told the B117 mutation was more deadly, and the research came in showing that it's not. But because it is more contagious, we're seeing those who are not immune, primarily the young, see more cases.

    We're also testing too many people who already have immunity. That's in violation of the CDC guidelines. Nursing homes, hospitals are testing people already immune with no symptoms, and that's what's driving up some of those case numbers that look like Delta hospitalizations. So, we're not going to see a surge in cases, but we’re probably going to see a surge in PCR tests among those asymptomatic, with colonized Delta strain in their nose, but they are not transmissible and they are not sick from the illness".

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/27/vaccinated-americans-are-more-likely-die-lightning-strike-than-covid-dont-bring-back-restrictions/

From the article:

The data is clear: According to the CDC, as of July 19, a grand total of 4,072 vaccinated Americans had been hospitalized with symptomatic breakthrough infections, out of more than 161 million who have been fully vaccinated. That is a breakthrough hospitalization rate of less than 0.003 percent. Better still, of those hospitalized, only 849 have died of covid-19. That means the death rate from those breakthrough infections is 0.0005 percent.


Your odds are greater of dying in a lightning strike than Dying of Covid, IF you are vaccinated.
