    It’s depressing because…. They are making the point that the reason why Democracies can fail is ill informed and pissed off voters can decide to destroy Democracy by voting in an autocrat like Trump??

    And making that statement proves that Democrats want a communist state like China?? Boy talk about reinforcing the point that people like yourself are ill informed and unable to make rational conclusions based on facts.

    Let me make this clear to you since you cannot read so well it seems. They are saying we can’t have nice things. You know how when you were 7 years old your parents wouldn’t give you a dirt bike because they knew you’d probably end up in the hospital???…. That’s exactly what they are saying you’ll do when you have the ability to control who should or shouldn’t be running our country… which is why us Texans are forced to have carnival barkers like Ted Cruz represent us, and why we have to have corrupt autocrats who try and overturn elections like Trump.

    It’s not that anyone here wishes we didn’t have a Democracy. It’s that everyone here wishes people like yourself had an ounce of fact based logic and reason before you force an autocrat down our throats that’s trying to overthrow Democracy.

    So on one hand, you’re telling me the pissed off ill informed voters who are fed up with the government and want to destroy democracy by electing an absolute ruler like Trump, and on the other, you guys put a POS with maggots in his brains, heart and soul in power to tell you where and when you can eat, sleep, shiet, how much money you can make and you can keep, force you to take the jab up your ass?

    Oyve...talking to you delusional know it all liberals is making my head hurt, so much liberal fact based logic and reason are dangerous to your health.

    Biden actually is a good representation of democracy. Believe it or not there are a lot of old people in America. Believe it or not there are a lot of people who are moderate on liberal issues. Believe it or not, many people actually wanted to not blow up healthcare and preferred expanding the ACA. Believe it or not there are a lot of people who were more progressive but found common cause with the traditional Biden voters and decided to vote for him and would do it again.

    Yes… I believe in Democracy. The majority of voters voted for Biden so he’s president. In three years everyone will have a chance to make a choice again.

    You know what isn’t believing in Democracy.., supporting an attempt to violently overthrow the process of certifying an election to install an unelected autocrat. Something you have yet to show anything but support for. You think Biden is THAT bad, support a primary opponent in 2024. But if your answer is to just install Trump by coup (violent or just rigging the system) then there’s not much else left to say about the point being made about ill informed voters like yourself. You should just move to Russia then my dude. You can sleep well at night knowing you’ll never have a Democratically elected official for the rest of your life.

    Your only response was basically … Biden is old and you don’t believe in science. That’s not really an answer to anything in regards to belief in Democracy and just reinforces the point they were making about you.

    Dude, your post is all over the place. You got Brandon and science in the same sentence, a violent coup that was so violent that no firearms were presented according to the FBI, moving to Russia. Lol

    If you think your Brandon is doing well, you should check out some YouTube videos, people are chanting his name in stadiums across America.

    You smoking something really good and you’re not sharing it with me.

    Let’s go Brandon.

    You're wasting your time. The Cult is real if they believe and support Trump the psychopath.

    The Republicans are against mandates, so honestly, that cartoon is stupid. The Trump cult didn't vote for Biden, and honestly, for the past few months almost all Americans going 6 foot below are the anti vaxxers.

    As Russia shuts down, Putin 'can't understand what's going on' with vaccine hesitancy

    “We have a reliable and efficient vaccine. The vaccine really reduces the risks of illness, grave complications and death,” he said.

    Story at a glance
    • Russia Wednesday reported 1,028 new coronavirus deaths, the highest 24-hour death toll in the country since the start of the pandemic.
    • Putin said he didn’t understand the vaccine hesitancy in the country, even among some of his close friends who have delayed getting the jab.
    • “There are only two ways to get over this period — to get sick or to receive a vaccine,” he said.

    The last two pages of this thread just illustrate again what is so wrong with this issue. Opposition is so focused on ideology and partisanship. It's the "Libruls" who are pushing the vaccine forgetting that there are Conservative Republicans who have pushed the vaccine and many other measures designed to combat the disease. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine early on pushed some of the strictest lockdown mandates. In DeWine's career he has primarily been known as a staunch Pro-Lifer but he understood that Pro-Life was more than just abortion. Mitch McConnell has strongly been pushing the vaccines and even Abbott has said that the vaccines are safe.

    Most telling is that Fox News has a policy that is stricter than most states and businesses requiring all employees to be either vaccinated or to be tested frequently.

    This new research may explain the idiocy of many of the usual suspects in this thread...

    Brain fog in COVID-19 patients can persist for months, even in those who were not hospitalized, study finds

    ATLANTA — Cognitive impairment — described as brain fog — can persist for months in COVID-19 patients, even for some who were not hospitalized, according to a new study.

    The research, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, found that nearly a quarter of COVID-19 patients in a Mount Sinai Health System registry experienced some issues with their memory — and although hospitalized patients were more likely to have such brain fog after a coronavirus infection, some outpatients had cognitive impairment too.

    "In this study, we found a relatively high frequency of cognitive impairment several months after patients contracted COVID-19. Impairments in executive functioning, processing speed, category fluency, memory encoding, and recall were predominant among hospitalized patients," Jacqueline Becker and her colleagues at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, wrote in the study.

    "This pattern is consistent with early reports describing a dysexecutive syndrome after COVID-19 and has considerable implications for occupational, psychological, and functional outcomes," the researchers wrote. Separate research, published in April in the journal Lancet Psychiatry, found that as many as one in three people with COVID-19 had longer-term mental health or neurological symptoms.

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention includes difficulty thinking or concentrating — sometimes referred to as "brain fog" — on its list of post-COVID conditions.

    "Although most people with COVID-19 get better within weeks of illness, some people experience post-COVID conditions," the CDC notes on its website. "Post-COVID conditions are a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems people can experience four or more weeks after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19."

    The new study included data, from April 2020 through May 2021, on 740 COVID-19 patients with no history of dementia. The average age of patients was 49. Cognitive functioning was assessed for each patient and the researchers analyzed the frequency of cognitive impairment among the patients.

    Among all the patients, the researchers found that 15% showed deficits in phonemic fluency in their speaking; 16% in a set of mental skills called their executive functioning; 18% showed deficits in their cognitive processing speed; 20% in their ability to process categories or lists; 23% in memory recall and 24% in memory encoding, among other impairments.

    The researchers noted that hospitalized patients were more likely to have impairments in attention, executive functioning, category fluency and memory.

    For instance, when it came to memory recall, the researchers found 39% of hospitalized patients had impairment in that area compared with 12% of outpatients. When it came to memory encoding, the data showed that 37% of hospitalized patients had impairment compared with 16% of outpatients.

    The authors noted the possibility for bias in the sample because patients came to Mount Sinai Health System because they were experiencing symptoms.

    "The association of COVID-19 with executive functioning raises key questions regarding patients' long-term treatment," the researchers wrote. "Future studies are needed to identify the risk factors and mechanisms underlying cognitive dysfunction as well as options for rehabilitation."

    I mean I wasn't all that convinced of the 5G conspiracy theory until I heard the Stanley Kubrich soundtrack over a video of a guy moving magnetized play sand from the mall with his IPhone 3.

    Very insightful video.

    (Also... it's a guarantee that we are probably all getting ball cancer from having a super computer 3 inches away from our genitals all day long. Not denying that theory)

    Yeah, you're right. It makes way more sense that a huge virus cloud is covering the world waiting for people to come outside so that it can attack.
