    The idea there is something called 'zero risk' is a mirage, a delusion, but unfortunately this has gained traction

    It prevents us from making the hard and important call on schools, and precludes appropriate post-vaccine messaging

    Life has risks, and policy is about tradeoffs.

    Most people get this and it’s a reason why Trump got so many votes even though he was the worst candidate in my lifetime. If you think people are turning down getting vaccinated now, wait until they start asking people to get their kids vaccinated. That will be a deal breaker for many many parents until the Covid vaccine has full FDA approval.

    Why don't you do some more research for us on covid vaccine adverse events over the last 10 years. That's useful info.

    Why don’t you keep talking about how schools schools be closed. That was fun. Maybe let’s talk about how awesome California is doing with Covid after locking down for most of the last 10 months. I see that narrative has gone away.

    I was thinking it was because of his situation, but I couldn't remember.
    Seems like he is best ignored.

    Dr. Fauci interview with the NYT

    Nothing we already didn't know since we witnessed it in real time, but he substantiates what we witnessed.

    I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but for the VAERS search, if you set the start date before a vaccine is available, you simply won't have any data on the vaccine until its reports are available, so there's no harm in setting an earlier date.

    But the end date of the range was before a vaccine existed.

    Yes, of course. That is why I asked if you saw my post? He was the best receiver in pro football in his era.

    My brother had COVID and had the plasma infusion, the next day he said it was a tremendous improvement. He created it for his quick turnaround.

    Drug Overdose Deaths: Department of Health

    So in RI, thru the 9 months that they have complete data, there is an increase of 75 Overdose deaths from 2019. That is a huge increase and if it holds to the same percentage thru 2020 that will be around a 32% increase in deaths year over year. So if this holds throughout the US then that would explain some of the excess deaths.

    New York Times story that I know everyone won't be able to read, but is about West Virginia doing the best job of getting the vaccine to its residents. It's only be limited by its supply.
