    What does this have to do with Fox News? Sorry I hit the extra C on Fauci. More and more people are realizing what Covid is all about. Govt control over our lives. If you want to live in fear and isolate be my guest.

    Is it not true that pretty much everybody has gotten or is going to get the Covid regardless of vaccination status? Ibet you've gotten Covid. Iknow very few people who work in the public who haven't gotten the Covid. BTW, I'm vaccinated and got the Covid anyway. I feel like I was lied too. Now I just hope I dont get cancer or have a heart condition due to my choice.

    The overwhelming consensus of experts means nothing to me. The flat earth was an overwhelming consensus of the best scientific minds of the time. I prefer facts to consensus overwhelmingly. It is OK to say I do not know if you do not know and I abhor lies especially those told to cover a lack of facts.

    “Scientists were wrong about the earth being flat ages ago, therefore we should not trust science today.” Nice.
    The vax was always presented as effective against bad outcomes, not as a guaranteed prevention from getting it, and that still holds true. Vaccinated are hospitalized at a much lower rate than unvaccinated. But I’m sure you have a link from freedomeaglemaganewsdotcom quoting a chiropractor who says I’m wrong.

    I’m disengaging from this conversation. I already had your dumb asses on ignore and I’ll go back to that.

    Please do so. I need you in the draft thread, as I don't follow college ball and I am not at all knowledgeable in the high school talent. This is my first draft as part of this board where the Astros have selections in the first two rounds, and I need all hands on deck in that thread for some good info. ;)

    Nope, that's not how this was originally sold.

    Also I'm friends with a doctor who analyzes data for the FDA. There are 23 Dr.'s who do this work and there's much disagreement. Look, our minds aren't going to be changed, so I'm moving on. BTW, I really appreciate the knowledge about all the Minor Leaguers you bring to the MB. I learn alot.

    It happened

    Minds aren't going to be changed, I'm just glad more people are wising up. Look at the vax states statistics vs non vax states statistics.

    Sure, the discussion doesn’t belong here, but it is still useful to see which posters have no idea about statistics or critical thinking.

    The antivax argument is the same as the “Tom Brady proves you can get a HOF QB in the 5th round, so why pick one earlier?”

    Or, perhaps more accurately, “2nd round picks make the NBA almost as often as 1st round picks, so picking in the 1st round doesn’t matter.”

    The “fact” is true, but ignores the most important point - the impact the player made once he made the NBA. If you are going to compare stats across states as one person suggests, make sure you compare deaths and hospitalizations, not infection rates.

    Either way, please do keep sharing your “logic” so we know who to listen to on other topics.

    It's an almost-perfect weedout, for sure.

    The weeding out will be done a decade from now when the repressions of the vaccine is out there for all to see. Luckily most of the death and mayhem will be happening in liberal states. My only regret is that I got vaxed for work purposes. I would never recommend a person have their RNA screwed with by taking an ineffective vaccine.

    Such a ****ing dumbass. Until I read your posts on the vaccines, I had some respect for you. I know it doesn't mean much for a random poster to think less of you, but seriously get some help man. Stop being ignorant. Your Astros takes were borderline stupid and now you appear to be as well.

    All of it

    Doesn’t belong here. This forum has got so much better without everyone’s political opinions. If it isn’t about the Astros, or at least baseball, get it out of here

    There are places on this very site where people can argue their hearts out over all that crap

    Aren't you just a swell guy.

    Tell me why you think my Astros takes are stupid?

    I'll wait, because you're obviously a person who is lead by what the establishment tells you

    They should just have Pujols and Cabrera do it.
