What's this?

I would agree with your instinct to apologize, although I’d say that’s due

To your failure to address the point I made, which had nothing to do with mortality among healthy kids. The virus jumping from kid to kid or kid to adult has the same chance of mutating to new and more dangerous variants as it does jumping between old or overweight people.

Fearmongering - you mean like when someone constantly invokes the worst terrorist attack in US history in completely unrelated discussions?

The Ottawa Senators Have a 100% Vaccination Rate -- FrankGallagher 11/18/2021 07:02AM

Mostly agree, but not sure what your conclusion is here... -- Cav113 11/18/2021 09:09AM

Maybe that there's little point of forced vax for the young and healthy? -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:28AM

Do you also oppose the usual mandatory vaccinations for school children? ** -- SixerHoo 11/18/2021 11:00AM

Flu vaccine isn't mandatory to my knowledge -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 11:24AM

Nice non-answer. Do you refuse the flu vaccine because it has to be taken -- SixerHoo 11/18/2021 12:12PM

I've had the flu vaccine on occasion. I don't think it should be mandated. -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 12:36PM

A couple of things... -- Cav113 11/18/2021 09:51AM

So, basically, the same benefits associated with the flu vaccine ... -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 10:18AM

We have a much longer relationship with the flu than COVID... -- Cav113 11/18/2021 10:38AM

Sounds like a personal decision to me, not a political one -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 11:26AM

It's neither, it's a public health issue... -- Cav113 11/18/2021 1:06PM

Except the vaccines aren't what we thought they were -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 1:26PM

They do reduce transmission and there's some reason to believe... -- Cav113 11/18/2021 1:42PM

Should be. There is nothing but upside to the vaccines. I disagree anyway -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 2:30PM

You understand that your little discussion with me below about MN -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 12:24PM

I hear at least a dozen people died of the flu last year. -- WahooRQ 11/18/2021 10:43AM

Wonder how many COVID-tested people with the sniffles also got flu tests? -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 11:30AM

Um, everyone that can get the vaccine should get the vaccine -- Capital City Hoo 11/18/2021 09:08AM

LOL the extent of brainwashing evident in this post is beyond the pale -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:21AM

Somebody in this thread is brainwashed for sure ** -- HptHokie 11/18/2021 4:19PM

Wow- you live in an interesting world ** -- Capital City Hoo 11/18/2021 10:34AM

As usual, you’re way off. -- WahooRQ 11/18/2021 08:28AM

Its hard to hide stupid. Easy to see why over 750,000 Americans are dead -- Lazarus 11/18/2021 08:59AM

Considering half of them were 75 or older, it IS easy to see why -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:39AM

But the cold hard inconvenient truth for you is that life expectancy -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 09:43AM

Those 100,000-plus overdose deaths surely contributed -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:46AM

Dude, seriously? That number was tragic, but less than 30k more than -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 10:30AM

That's 10 9/11s worth of adverse mortality, per CNN ** -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 11:29AM

Uh huh. Ok, we’ve seen your ability to repeatedly invoke 9/11 in lame -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 11:41AM

COVID is like 100000 WTCs for the 75 and up crowd -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 11:51AM

I don’t think there is much of a problem with the 75 and up crowd in terms -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 12:06PM

Sorry, but there will be far more COVID deaths among the 14% unvaxxed -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 12:39PM

I would agree with your instinct to apologize, although I’d say that’s due -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 12:47PM

So incredibly naive. Fully vaxxed nursing home residents are dropping dead. -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 08:41AM

You suck as a human being. I hope you don't hang around old people. ** -- HoodatB 11/18/2021 10:39AM

If they're 3x boosted, what risk is there? It's 95% effective or somesuch -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 11:31AM

So, pre-Delta and pre-vaccine, Covid deaths in 12/20 in nursing homes -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 09:04AM

We get it. You want the olds to die. Why don't you go play in traffic ** -- WahooRQ 11/18/2021 08:47AM

Do you know what happened before Covid? Nursing home residents drop dead ev -- 111Balz 11/18/2021 08:43AM

Oh weird. You mean the 360,000 dead among those 75-plus might've kicked the -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:04AM

You literally have no idea what you’re talking about ** -- 111Balz 11/18/2021 11:01AM

But he reads Tyler Durden's words of wisdom when he's not online gaming -- WahooRQ 11/18/2021 08:49AM

“Let’s admit some facts”. How about let’s understand what a fact is. ** -- DTsBicep 11/18/2021 08:28AM

A 'fact' seems to be something supportive of the preferred narrative -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 08:37AM

Well that’s the way you use them, that’s for sure. It is a fact that the CD -- 111Balz 11/18/2021 08:49AM

You still have zero clue what a fact is. ** -- DTsBicep 11/18/2021 08:42AM

Are breakthrough cases not claimed to be common? -- BocaHoo91 11/18/2021 08:21AM

Much worse than luddites, we have a country half full of arsonists ** -- 81_Hokie 11/18/2021 08:41AM

Happy they were vaccinated. Would have been worse. ** -- DTsBicep 11/18/2021 08:20AM

Damn you guys are predictable ** -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 08:21AM

No. The effect of the vaccines are predictable. Which is that virtually -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 08:55AM

No one? Tell that to the families of the 519 breakthrough deaths in MN ** -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:02AM

I would give those people my condolences rather than spiking the ball -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 09:10AM

So if we extrapolate based on MN's population that's like 10 WTCs of deaths -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 09:18AM

Extrapolate to what? You mean the population of NY? -- hoolstoptheheels 11/18/2021 09:39AM

We must be grievance oriented! -- DTsBicep 11/18/2021 08:42AM

There’s a lot of that “predictability” shit going round. You might call it -- southdenverhoo 11/18/2021 08:40AM

^^^ screeching at the man in the mirror ** -- WaxHoo 11/18/2021 08:33AM

I believe the scientific community defines breakthrough as getting a severe -- 111Balz 11/18/2021 07:13AM

Cute. But wrong. -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 07:28AM

No only a moron would debate that. So please continue ** -- 111Balz 11/18/2021 08:14AM

No, … ** -- WaxHoo 11/18/2021 07:49AM

Can Balz push the goalposts himself or do you give him a hand? ** -- jpmHoo 11/18/2021 07:50AM

What is your goal by being here? -- DTsBicep 11/18/2021 08:26AM

Revenge on his "boomer" parents for being too busy to spend time with him? ** -- WahooRQ 11/18/2021 08:35AM

He seems to just want to pick a fight. ** -- DTsBicep 11/18/2021 08:44AM

He's just a loser. Wants to argue about vaccines because... we'll who -- BocaHoo91 11/18/2021 09:38AM

I don’t know, but it looks like table #15 could use a round of refills -- WahooRQ 11/18/2021 08:09AM
