  1. "I'm not a doctor, I'm a f--king moron" - Joe Rogan
  2. More thorough research is needed before making that decision. "As for the Israel medical records study, Topol and others point out several limitations, such as the inherent weakness of a retrospective analysis compared with a prospective study that regularly tests all participants as it tracks new infections, symptomatic infections, hospitalizations, and deaths going forward in time. “It will be important to see these findings replicated or refuted,” says Natalie Dean, a biostatistician at Emory University. She adds: “The biggest limitation in the study is that testing [for SARS-CoV-2 infection] is still a voluntary thing—it’s not part of the study design.” That means, she says, that comparisons could be confounded if, for example, previously infected people who developed mild symptoms were less likely to get tested than vaccinated people, perhaps because they think they are immune." Not to mention a much larger sample size. “The differences are huge,” says Thålin, although she cautions that the numbers for infections and other events analyzed for the comparisons were “small.” For instance, the higher hospitalization rate in the 32,000-person analysis was based on just eight hospitalizations in a vaccinated group and one in a previously infected group. And the 13-fold increased risk of infection in the same analysis was based on just 238 infections in the vaccinated population, less than 1.5% of the more than 16,000 people, versus 19 reinfections among a similar number of people who once had SARS-CoV-2." You know, science and whatnot...
  3. Aww, hot yoga douche filed a lawsuit...how cute is that.
  4. I enjoy Animal Kingdom but it isn't in the same stratosphere as some of the others that were mentioned. I've never seen Dexter but based on this thread I'm going to give it a shot. Currently working my way through "Suits" at the moment but I'm ready for a break.
  5. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and call BS on that one. Your posts read like my alt right, antivax buddy on Facebook verbatim.
  6. You're missing a few stats, granted some are still not available. What about total number of hospitalizations? Surely many have had their lives saved by the medical system that don't show up in your stats. What about long haul covid survivors? Do those stats not matter when discussing the severity of the disease you are trying so hard to downplay? All this while undertaking the greatest mitigation tactics the world has ever implemented.
  7. Spot on, these are the athletes of all athletes and should be recognized as such. Truly an incredible result for Warner and Canada.
  8. Uh oh Drummer, bad news. But you know, democracy and whatnot. As for the other guy advocating for people who are scared of the virus to stay home, you might want to read the last sentence. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-poll-shows-majority-of-canadians-support-barring-unvaccinated-from/ An overwhelming majority of Canadians want people who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 banned from gatherings in public places, a new poll has found – proof of this country’s solidarity in limiting the rights of those who refuse to be inoculated. Unlike the United States, where attitudes to vaccination cleave along political and geographic lines, Canadians are virtually united in their message to the vaccine hesitant or skeptical: Stay home.
  9. I don't know if he get paid for this but if not...
  10. 6 Olympic medals, 4 gold... so far. She's going to be alright.
  11. What other option is there? Grossly misinformed? Brainwashed? Easily manipulated? So many possibilities...
  12. Sorry about that. I was referring to the viral load of breakthrough cases, especially those with mild symptoms. Should breakthrough infections worry vaccinated people? https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/22/health/breakthrough-covid-infections-wellness/index.html
  13. From what I've read, you're much less likely to get it, and much less likely to spread it due to a vastly reduced viral load in breakthrough cases. What's still unknown is how effective the vaccines will be with the Delta variant as it produces a much larger viral load than its predecessor.
  14. You won't be disappointed, the other 2 stories are pretty good too.
  15. I just watched the documentary Heist on Netflix. One of the stories is about Pappygate, a heist in 2013 at the Buffalo Trace distillery. I won't spoil the story but in 2012 Anthony Bourdain said that Pappy Van Winkle was the best bourbon he'd ever tasted and bottles that were retailing for $50-$100 were selling for $1000-$5000.
  16. The article states that these are unmarked and undocumented graves of children. I'm not sure why any distinction needs to be made? Your comment reminded me of many of the other comments I've been reading around the web downplaying the significance of these findings. It serves no purpose other than to muddy the waters on this matter. To be honest I thought it was a little odd coming from you
