Covid-19

Was watching the driver introductions for the 500 and thought it was odd they were wearing masks. Not the crap we’ve been debating. More like dude or dudette you’re going to be driving 230 mph for 500 miles and you’re worried about covid?

I'd imagine that makes them more worried. Don't want to be anything less than 100% going that fast for that long.

On what feels like a related note, I took my mother groceries earlier today on the highway in Atlanta.......

There’s probably a lot of truth to this. Unfortunately, think you’re missing my attempt on using irony. Probably not my best, but think XU82 got it...

500 miles doesn’t seem so far. I’m mean The Proclaimers walked that far for a lady.

Paul said he personally isn’t getting the shot because he’s had COVID. The Yahoo scientists are wrong and Paul is correct in his thinking according to every practicing medical professional I’ve spoken with. So, Paul’s personal choice is based in science and Yahoo found a couple of people with medical degrees to validate a bogus headline not aligned to Paul’s comments.

Article is basically a bad term paper. Start with a flimsy premise, find a couple of quotes to back up weak premise, write in an hour, turn in and head to the bar.

Again, please read past the headline before you post.

Scientists are wrong, Paul is right because I say so and it fits my narrative. I read the article, not sure you actually did. CDC, I Chicago medicine, Cleveland clinic and who agree with the yahoo article. I guess Paul knows more than them too.

Are there other scientist and doctors who agree with Paul? Yes, there are. Do the the scientist in the article hold a contrary opinion? Yes. Those scientist provided data that people under 65 have a similar risk of infection to those that have had the vaccine. 80% immunity (jumps to maybe around 90% with the second shot). So, we have no science that proves previously infected people are at a significantly higher risk than those those who’ve been vaccinated (under 65, Paul is 58). What we have are opinions from a handful of scientists to fit the narrative of the author. I’m vaccinated but this article is a goofy hit piece on Paul and others with 0 usable information other than if you’re over 65 you should get the vaccine if you personally feel it’s best for you.

And one of the scientists is from the CDC? Riiiight. They’ve been super sciencey through this whole pandemic....

More sciencey from the Mayo Clinic.

So what? Also being told by sciencey people the vaccine may need boosters. Point? No one knows. What’s your point Paul? Everyone knows the vaccine is available and if you get it you personally are fine and likely so are people who’ve had it. Don’t know why it’s political except the mask and Wuhan Karen’s are mad their science gods were dead wrong about both. At this point we don’t have to wear our compliance face coverings, the vaccines are available, this did come from a Chinese lab and Fauci is not credible.

We should probably close this thread as this thing is pretty much over except some questions around the motivations of Fauci, the media and the CDC.
