The story of what went on to get the ppe, ventilators, medical equipment and of course the vaccines is just a marvel. Just reading about the RNA being created and put in a lipid cell to take over our cells and create the spike to form antigens to then kill covid is amazing science. This really is a leap forward in virus vaccine development. (At least my simplified non biochemist understanding of it.)

This really is a leap forward in virus vaccine development. (At least my simplified non biochemist understanding of it.) This tech was in development prior to C19 as a potential therapeutic tool for rare genetic diseases. I've been involved in a lot of it, and it is super cool. In other news, I'm on the covid frontline team today and am calling high risk patients with new positive results. Multiple conversations with elderly folks who have lost a spouse in the last 2-3 days, and who are now sick (and alone and terrified) themselves. This might be one of the most heartbreaking days of my medical career. 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) I’m also hearing the day or two after the shot are a ****. There are worries people won’t come back for the second dose. Edited November 25, 2020 by HOF44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when this all started, some of the restrictions made me very nervous with the precedent being set of what the government could limit. I’m not saying this was 100% right. But I’m not sure it was 100% wrong either. I don’t know what the right solution is. Maybe it is the conservative side of me but when I’m torn, I’m usually going to come down on the side of limiting the governments power. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) The logic of the decision makes no sense and seems extremely problematic in trying to use it in other cases. The right to exercise one’s religious beliefs does not overpower the right not to be endangered by the people doing the worshipping. If a church is holding services where they are setting the church on fire and it keeps spreading to other buildings obviously, that would not be allowed. The same if a mosque was sending out suicide bombers repeatedly to blow up people in the area. Edited November 26, 2020 by visionary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 However, coming soon from our conservative, strict constructionist, Supreme Court, which never ever cherry picks their reasoning to fit their political ideology, . . . . The First Amendment clearly grants people the authority to ignore public health laws, and to engage in behavior which is known in advance will likely result in a dozen deaths. However, it does not grant exemption from the rules on jaywalking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soothing as it may be to wish death and hardship on other people, The real damage from such events are from the 2nd, 3rd, and so forth generations of people who are infected by said attendees. Drunk drivers don't just kill themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Well guys this is how Trump will **** us for years to come and one of the major problems with the democrat party. They’re ******* that just let the right wing walk all over them. Their (unrelated) next move is to hold democrats hostage or shut the government down. Watch it happen and watch democrats bend to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
