  1. Because as I noted clearly in English this is my calculus. Adjusted for inputs my mortality risk is basically 0%.
  2. I can tell you how I process it. The infection mortality rate in my metro is 0.075%. Given my physical profile, altruistically I am happy to let others go ahead. I would consider whether the adverse event rate of the vaccine would be +/- 0.075%.
  3. I'm sure the great job being done with testing and vaccinations at the border will help.
  4. Anti-Asian rona rage continues. https://news.yahoo.com/asian-man-threatened-racist-home-213230664.html
  5. The scary, structural issue no one was intelligent enough to recognize the obvious outcome. I continuously am amazed at how stupid people are the not connect close dots. We deserve better leaders that can calculate impact of their stupid policies.
  6. That's actually a really prescient point that illustrates how the "systematic racism" / "white supremacy" canard completely distracted from the actual issue.
  7. Where did their talking point emerge? It's one of the funnier ones. It must ring too true to warrant an ad hom LOL.
  8. I don't really disagree with you. As noted earlier, it will be a long time before we have a true picture. Reasonable people can have diverse opinions. I bias toward most of the people that would need papers are low mortality risk. If you want to play hypothetical we don't know the long-term effects of the vaccines either. If your scared of it you're welcome to stay home or wear a mask, which as we know will keep you from getting it. Hence what's the point of papers?
  9. Yes, that is a reasonable point. I would argue that covid does not warrant the level of public safety concern as does something like smallpox for example. If we start requiring papers for every disease with a mortality rate of < 1-2% then we might as well just publish our medical records on facebook. I tend to resist reactionary, emotional responses.
  10. It is typical that these arguments fall apart when you it gets to the specifics. "Systematic Racism" and "White Supremacy" simply have been weaponized to shut down debate when intellectual arguments cannot stand on their own. If it was real, then white people would have the highest per-capita income, and emigrants would be fleeing the U.S. due to inability to succeed. That's why I keep asking, can anyone name a system that is racist? Even in criminal justice - there's an easy way to avoid that.
  11. It violates HIPAA for one. Once you open the door there is a slippery slope. It is ironic that HIPAA was created to protect HIV/AIDS patients from revealing their HIV/AIDS status - a death sentence - and now we want to basically force everyone to reveal their health information to the UT athletic department. Where does does it end? There are other viruses and conditions that are deadly - we going to require a flu shot passport?
  12. Because twit, yo. For 6% of 'murica their self-esteem is derived at how outraged they can get each day.
  13. A rare breed that recognize when stupid ideas are stupid. (no sarcasm) It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that letting mentally and emotional ill addicts run loose is not good public policy. They need to be institutionalized and rehabilitated. That's the only practical solution. Optimistically, many can be returned to society as healthy, functioning adults. For those that can't, provide a safe, long-term institutional existence.
  14. In fairness, for four years the height of intellectual acumen was "trumpkin" or "trumper."
  15. Because we have surrendered to morons who think twitter reflects reality.
  16. Systematic racism more aptly is defined as the inherent belief by many that African Americans simply lack agency and ability to make good decisions and therefore need nice, privileged white folks to take care of them.
  17. Back on topic ... this dingbat set back women, science, and public confidence decades. What a freaking embarrassment. I thought after Circle Back Sake contradicted her publicly she's STFU ... she should. We have a Karen running the CDC. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/video/right-now-im-scared-emotional-walensky-warns-of-covid-spike/vp-BB1f5AhT
  18. This is a few years old, and I had never heard of it. This is the most shocking cops killing people video I've ever seen ... somehow these guys were not convicted. How do you ever convict anyone if not these guys?
  19. High talk coming from folks who believe Russian hackers change elections, high school kids attacked an poor Injun, Russian pee hookers, unsubstantiated rape allegations, D-list actors getting attacked with nooses, Muslim bans, mass conspiracies against minor Florida data analysts, etc.
  20. Chimps throwing shit about conspiracy theories and "orange man bad" is really not technically "political."
  21. Yeah ... schools generally are among the worst at managing money and focusing on teachers / kids. Recent, glaring example ... fortunately they got some new board members that could smell a skunk. Why I usually roll my eyes at the screams of "we need more money for schools." https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2021/03/24/ousted-lancaster-superintendent-now-working-in-real-estate-with-former-board-president-who-approved-his-2-million-buyout/ "Former Lancaster superintendent Elijah Granger has a new job working with the former school board president who voted last year to pay him more than $2 million as he tried to leave the district. The board -- with Ellen Clark serving as president -- voted 4-3 in November on a hefty severance for Granger without explaining the reason for the separation. But that payout was quickly walked back after the board majority changed that month."
