    Oh know those were insane and idiotic, but some of the other stuff, especially more recently has been over the top.

    I’ll bet there were some overseers of the Salem Witch Trials who were disgusted they didn’t burn harder.

    You want to play the ignorance card that is fine. We knew who was at risk. The really disgusting thing is that we likely could have saved far more lives if we did not get tunnel visioned. Cheap steroids would have been such a life saver. Instead we provided the ventilators…

    Wow! Even @AzCatFan will tell you how wrong you are about natural immunity.

    At least you understand the masking and social distancing was silly. That gives me hope that you will listen to those on your side that understand natural immunity was superior. Even if they want to tout the weird idea that the shot was worth taking with that superior immunity.

    Do you really honestly believe that doctors didn't try steroids? Keep in mind there was a period of time before we really knew what this was, and we only knew it was going to become a big problem because whatever illness people had wasn't responding to standard treatment. That's how they ended up on ventilators.

    Natural Immunity turned out to be more effective than vaccine. But hybrid immunity, which is infection recovery plus vaccination, in all studies has proven to be the most effective. So simply put, if you have never had an infection, a vaccine will boost your chances of having a mild case keeping you out of the hospital or worse, the morgue. If you have been infected, the vaccine will have the same effect, lowering your odds of hospitalization and death. Having NI alone is no reason not to get vaccinated.

    One issue with NI is we have never tracked it. They did in Israel, and they allowed proof of prior infection to act the same as proof of vaccination. Had we tracked infection here from the start, we could have done the same thing. But we didn't.

    Last, we really don't know how long both vaccination and NI last in terms of efficacy. There are studies that show both start to wear off around six months, but we really don't know by how much.

    Let's look at the bright side. May 11 is just around the corner. Whatever that means.

    I never said they were not tried. But the narrative and agenda pushed by the idiots in public health missed with their tunnel vision.

    This is how propaganda works…you now think they did their best. When reality is they were awful at their job. Criminal in some in some instances.

    Yes. It means we actually start following the science. Things like we will allow Djokovic to play in the US Open.

    That said…May 11 is not good for the border.

    This is how narcissism works...you always think you know best even when you lack basic background and can't imagine how anybody being honest doesn't realize it. And you think if you repeat the same talking points enough (empty as they are due to the lack of appropriate background in any of the applicable fields), everybody will realize how smart you are and how you know better than every expert in any number of fields.
