    Are State Fairs more popular in red states?

    The love for gratuitously fried (and cheap) fatty foods might become a political indicator.

    Weird argument.

    But no, I wouldn't get a "vaxxx" if Trump endorsed Steak Knives came with it. Just like I didn't get his chloroquine, bleach shots, or whatever quackpot treatments some of his followers went balls deep into.

    I'd still get a jab from whatever the FDA approved though.

    So I take this as praise for Joe Biden as president not taking these type of measures with athletes such as Kyrie Irving. Instead the US is accepting a much higher amount of cases in order to be more flexible with people's individual freedom of choice.

    Australia has had around 2,400 deaths since Feb of 2020, but I get your point that Biden allowing the personal freedom to die is important to you so it's nice to see you applaud the president who respects your freedom to subject yourself unprotected to a deadly disease that other countries leaders try harder to save their citizens from.

    Good to see some bi-partisan support of Joe Biden.

    the USSC is currently listening to a case challenging Biden's mandates. They typically do this in the safety of a large room with limited chance of contact with other people. And still...

    I would also like to praise Biden for this. We need unity and he is on the right side of this.

    This has probably already been shared, but if not...



    This is what has been needed. "Intellectual Property" (which isn't even a real thing) has been killing people so I'm happy to see someone release their recipe to get vaccines to as many people as possible.

    Great news. The world needs this while America is sidelined by expensive subsidized vaccines that are treated and politicized like a free and unlimited resource.

    Did a quick search to see more about it and it seems COBREVAX has been sidelined in India for now

    Biggest issue seems to be the lack of data for clinical efficacy.

    Good for Australia for now allowing fake medical exemptions into the country. By "detaining", they mean being put in a government hotel until she can catch a flight back to her home country.

    It's weird that you're opposed to people illegally crossing the border here, but complain about Australia when they don't allow it.

    The pbs article didn’t make it clear - Credit to Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi of Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine for offering license free of their covid19 vax to the world.

    A side note about Dr. Hotez. He talks often publicly about covid19 and vaccination. Since Rogan went the disinformation route, Dr Hotez asked to go back on the Joe Rogan show to debate / fight back disinformation but of course Joe wants no part of that.

    Omicron Isn't Mild for Hospitals - The Atlantic

    Omicron is inundating a health-care system that was already buckling under the cumulative toll of every previous surge.

    From outside the system, it can be hard to see these problems. “I don’t think people will realize what’s happening until we fall off that cliff—until you call 911 and no one comes, or you need that emergency surgery and we can’t do it,” Swaminathan said. The system hasn’t yet careened over: “When the trauma patients, the cardiac arrests, or the strokes come in, it’s a mad shuffle, but we still find a way to see them,” said Kit Delgado, the Pennsylvania emergency physician. “I don’t know how sustainable that’s going to be if cases keep rising everywhere.”
