  1. Ahh yes, let’s go back to fantasy land where we believe that vaccines that are still years away from finishing Phase 3 trials are getting approved anyway is not a political move at all. Trust the scientists who were appointed 30 years ago by politicians and have been controlling the funding of research for decades. What I cited was in the original bill. That has lapsed since, yes
  2. Another anecdote debunked me, gotcha
  3. Okposo will captain I’m not sure why it’s a debate.
  4. Ya don’t trust a damn covid number considering the feds since the outset agreed to pay $33k/patient to any hospital who took them in. Call me conspiracy all you want, but the ambulance workers I knew other than broken bones were told to be classifying anyone else as a covid case so they could bank. Don’t get me wrong I’m not disagreeing things with covid aren’t worse. But the sympathy ends there. The treatment doctors gave the first few months accelerated the decline of patients. And the good doctors admitted to this, it’s not conspiracy it’s just the hard pill to swallow facts. Ventilators were a big oopsies. It was all a cluster. And that leads to my greater point - the smugness that people know better than those who early on cling to things the science has only proven over time to be right is pure emotional midgetry
  5. Using your individual anecdote has even littler value that an AP news article with anecdotes from across the country, but okay go straight for the kill shot and show your true colors.
  6. For the flu- just search. Top search for 2017-2018 all the cases treated in tents all across the country: https://news.yahoo.com/hospitals-overwhelmed-flu-patients-treating-192834539.html
  7. I don’t have the TWIV podcast # off the top of my head that went through the specific studies. It’s searchable. But TWIV is about as far from tin foil as you’re going to get on the subject. They don’t outright say the tinfoil hat: oh look hydroxychloroquine works they were right after all, there’s too much cognitive dissonance there, but they do give it a good pause after listing off the genetics the mechanistic studies pointed to. You can say I give it a tinfoil hat bow on top, but the source is solid.
  8. Rural hospitals are hit hard half because traveling nurse jobs to the cities became so lucrative the locals all are leaving for 4x pay. Same going on here in rural Kentucky- the nurses are all making bank elsewhere.
  9. Hospitals were overflowing for the last few years just with the regular flu. Difference now is it’s publicized. They called them heroes to justify them working extra and risking their health for your lives. No pay, many furloughed, it was the rich who got subsidized through it all. As soon as we all got our pay, inflation immediately followed so the rich could outpace the handouts. Ivermectin actually works as a prophylactic . Hydroxychloroquine actually works as a prophylactic. Real science came to this, albeit some of it much later than how quickly some jumped to them. Any decent scientist will show you those medicines, including some more benign ones, do actually work. Mechanistic studies to back it all up. Studies that scraped all databases for theorized structures and came to them from an unbiased standpoint. Problem is they threaten the vaccine monopoly, so they are thrown aside. Or they prove that the policy setters are bought and sold- they can somehow approve vaccines that haven’t finished Phase 3 trials, but that can’t prescribe cheap generic prophylactics that all side effects are well known and documented because…. No good reason. Don’t tell me the 0.01% won’t be able to get it because it’s out of stock - they are cheap generics and can be produce mass scale quickly. But they don’t. all they want is to build a divide between us popes. The vaccinated and the non vaccinated. And pit us against each other. The people who live in yachts haven’t had to change their lives at all.
  10. The drafting hasn’t been that good. Average. Hell, most say Allen was a huge reach and they have been extremely poor reaching for almost all their picks. Most of the difference makers came from trades/UFA. It’s the type of players drafted are all team players and mesh well together. The group is greater than the sum of individuals. And it shows. Leadership is actually a thing. People who think leadership is just a catch phrase or comes with talent don’t get it. The Bills have it.
  11. I’d trade him for a top cornerback or tight end. Not for a pick, though a 1st is silly talk and is enticing. Allen is too much of a hero to not have a backup for. Webb and Fromm suck
  12. Oil probably isn’t as hot or seasoned. Salt crisps the edges
  13. Decent Data scientists easily cost 150k+, but cut that in half because sports
  14. Is Borgen actually going to get waived? That helps a lot as sad as that may come off.
  15. The science never once said it wouldn’t spread in vaccinated. It’s not that kind of vaccine- keeps blood born transmission down but for most it stays respiratory. They tried to warn the opposite if anything.
  16. The science was clear from the get go. Taking the vaccine is for selfish reasons it will reduce he severity if you get it. It doesn’t stop you from spreading. It doesn’t stop you from getting it. Maybe you could say it’ll reduce how contagious you are when you get it but that’s not proven. What it does do is increase how quickly deadlier variants will arise, and now they have. Sucks to be the people who couldn’t get vaccinated or the children who weren’t really affected much until the more virulent strains came along. The guys who invented vaccines in the first place said this all along, but they got branded as anti vaxxers. Hilarious. It was never about the science. It was politics and money from the get go. Anyone saying otherwise is ignoring the facts. Oh, and the people pushing the politics and getting bought by that money are the same ones who funded the research to create the thing (let’s say by accident). Vaccine should have only been for the elderly and the compromised. Nobody else. Instead here we are, a divided society who is still not actually following the science. Don’t forget to get your tax payer paid booster shot. Don’t forget to buy Pfizer stock
  17. New assistant coaches new system. Not worried. Everything relying on Jack was too damn predictable our PP was too easy to stuff
  18. Do something Dacry
  19. 3 years. Anyone question him being impossible to please on contract now?
  20. In the cap era it’s true.
  21. Trading for a ‘franchise’ goalie is a huge mistake every single time it’s done. Draft and get lucky is the only way.
  22. Any good manager knows it takes 2-3 years before the effects of a change in management actually takes place.
  23. Is josh wearing a tinted visor now?
  24. If we get 3 1sts, it’s a five year rebuild ^^
  25. Signing Ullmark to 7 years was going to be a mistake. Guy is perennial injured. There’s high hopes prospects in the system he’d tie up precious cap keeping long term. KA did the right thing. Could we have signed other UFA goalies? With our reputation probably not. I think KA didn’t believe in Krueger and didn’t want to waste assets getting a goalie when it wasn’t going to change the fundamental problem. also I disagree that goalies can be ruined too early. Either you have guys who step up to challenges or you have guys coasting on their size and technique. And the latter category never wins cups. It’s always a hot goalie. Need to find goalies with that potential no matter how it goes.
