Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
The paper trail (i.e. money) to that lab is quite interesting and it is no wonder Dr. Fauci likes dodge those questions when the topic comes up. :coffee: :nod: $200 million of tax payer money to fund a Chinese lab to stay ahead of the next pandemic through gain of function studies. Seems like SARS ...

Good fix and yup. :thumb: I am in the exact same boat.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
FWIW, I've had the Covid vaccine and I've never gotten a flu shot. I only started getting the flu shot two or three years ago when work had a guy from Rite-Aid come in and offer it right in the conference room. I literally had to walk about 10 seconds, sit down, get the shot, and walk back to my de...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
49.2% of Americans received the flu vaccine in '18-'19. If we get over 60% vaccinated I will be shocked. In fact I think I have a better shot of waking up with Evangeline Lilly next to me in bed than us getting over 55%. :lol: We're almost there now. Heck, the science is that even just one dose of ...

America’s vaccination strategy needs to change to address this, and it starts with understanding the specific reasons people have not been vaccin...
Re: The MSM
News professionals can cover a big swath of the industry. You could call a news anchor that reads off of a script or a camera guy a news professional but they are not the same as a reporter or journalist. The only good ones that I have come across are independent or have their name/brand so well es...

Not per the MN legal code section 609. Murder in the 2nd degree receives not more than 40 years imprisonment. Murder in the 3rd degree has a max of 25 years.

The third degree and manslaughter will. Second degree I do not think so. But then I am just an armchair attorney. Same penalty for either 2nd or 3rd degree murder.
