@DaniBeckman Fair. But then so should overweight people with preventable diabetes, people who smoke, alcoholics, and homeless drug addicts. Can't have it both ways.

Anti-vax parents who bring their kids with a preventable disease to a hospital should face criminal charges. Not only did they expose a minor unnecessarily, but also a hospital full of immunocompromised people who often cannot receive their vaccine due to immunological issues.

@CureLongCovid @jonstewart Grifter- Tell people they have a disease you can't test for then sell them the cure. Disgusting

Hi @jonstewart, I’m #oneofthetwo because I run the Long COVID clinic at Mass General Brigham where I’ve talked to thousands and thousands of people who have had their lives devastated by COVID 19. The only way to prevent Long COVID is to not contract COVID. Masking is STILL a very important part of prevention

@DrCatharineY You can't have herd immunity for a virus that mutates frequently. We don't have herd immunity for flu or the common cold or norovirus or countless others.

This is the hardest part for people to understand: Achieving herd immunity isn’t about you. It’s about reducing transmission to protect newborns, immunocompromised, the elderly - and preventing outbreaks from overwhelming health systems. So actually it makes perfect sense.

@jakescottMD Fair..but measles doesnt mutate like covid, flu or other viruses so it was never going to work even if the vaccine was 100% effective. And it's intellectually dishonest for doctors not to point out the difference.

This shouldn’t be a philosophical debate. It’s a misunderstanding of how infectious disease works. Vaccines aren’t perfect. The measles vaccine is 97% effective with two doses, not 100%, so some vaccinated people remain vulnerable. More importantly, some people can’t be vaccinated at all: infants under 12 months, immunocompromised patients, people with anaphylactic reactions to vaccine components. They depend on the rest of us not spreading a highly contagious virus to them. Measles has an R0 of 12-18, meaning each infected person spreads it to 12-18 others in an unvaccinated population. The virus can linger in the air for two hours after an infected person leaves a room. At that level of contagion, you need 92-95% vaccine coverage to stop community transmission. When coverage drops, outbreaks happen, and the people who pay the price are often those who had no choice in the matter. “My body, my choice” makes sense for decisions that affect only your body. Transmissible disease isn’t that. Your choice not to vaccinate can put a 6-month-old in the hospital or kill an immunocompromised kid who couldn’t get the shot. The question isn’t “why does it matter if I take it.” The question is whether your comfort with risk should override someone else’s right not to get infected by you.

@Liathetrader @UsingLyft She's a liar. Retire to spend time with the family and then she breaks up the family? Please. Cheating on your spouse with your kids karate teacher is next level low and now she's blackballed, her kids dont respect her, and shes essentially a shut in. Got what she deserves

@UsingLyft Brady also promised her he would retire and have time for the family, but he didn’t. So that’s that. Also, men who practice martial arts are on another level of calm and presence. I can see that. Plus, he’s cute and from Brazil, like her.

Might be funnier, more classically masculine, more confident, better at sex, a better person w better morals, better chemistry. I swear when I was growing up this was common knowledge. This height and money are all that matters stuff is so bizarre to me. Women aren’t that simple

@allie__voss She thought she was going to do better. Then realized very quickly she was not getting DiCaprio again so she settled for the guy she was cheating with. He was never plan a. He knows it and so does she.

Leaving literal Tom Brady for a guy who's - Shorter - Poorer - Has way less status Makes it pretty difficult to say that all women care about is hypergamy, clearly there's more to the calculation

@Ubermensch1938 @Crash49676428 @TeeplesCY @grok Brother browning 🫡

@Crash49676428 @TeeplesCY @grok What about firearms in any capacity?

If you boycott things heavily influenced by or created by Latter-day Saints, be prepared to stop using: – Televisions – Soda fountains – Tater Tots – 3D ultrasound imaging – Odometers – Hearing-aid technology – The Internet – Open-heart surgery – Pixar movies I could go on…

@TeeplesCY Don't forget modern firearms

@cat4hurricane @EiFSoccer Iran doesn't want to play either. So what do you do when they both don't want to play?

@EiFSoccer Just about everyone I’ve seen is in favor of Egypt either playing the game or deciding to forfeit if they refuse to. The game itself was decided long before the draw, Egypt should either respect that decision on where they ended up, or they can forfeit.

It’s awfully quiet on social media from the “it’s their country adhere to their rules” masses.

@EiFSoccer Qatar didn't force women to wear head scarves. They didnt force the crowd to walk through a carnival of Islamic pride. The false equivalence here is mind-blowing. They said let's all just enjoy a game we both love. Who's really the intolerant ones?

@Brian1zvx @megan_feringa Its a soccer game. The rules very clearly state that there are not to be political signs, flags, etc. It's supposed to be a fun time with people coming together to enjoy each other and a game they share. Not a political pulpit to push agendas

@sebfurqoise @megan_feringa So no straight couples allowed either then. Shoving your straightness in my face. Those TV shows where a man and woman have a relationship shoving straight ideology in my face

oh turns out we can opt out of respecting a local culture !

@maqwelll Irony is that fifa is the consistent one here. They've said leave your political armbands and flags at home and just come,be respectful and let's all just enjoy the game.

come to our home and you must respect our culture but also if we come to your home you must respect our culture

@SeanDZWalsh Shoving our sexual preferences into the faces of people trying to watch a soccer game isn't our culture.

Wait, so we aren't respecting the hosts' culture this time are we?

@HumanityChad yeahh....naaahhhh.....she wants a life without me she can have a life without me.

Even though they’re divorced, he still showed up when she got cancer ❤️ Because real men love unconditionally even when relationships end they never stop caring. That's what a real man does! 👊

@DrRyanPDaly @BrentAWilliams2 🎯 Long hours. Constant threat of lawsuits. Decreasing pay. Outside the ultra exclusive specialties it’s not great

@BrentAWilliams2 Be honest- how many physicians are pushing their kids to be physicians as well?

@broadwaybabyto Orrrr…..you could do you and mind your own business when it comes to others live their lives 🤷‍♂️

Anytime I advocate for covid mitigations - people assume I want to lock them in their homes forever We could drastically limit covid transmission with the following: - Masks in healthcare - Clean air in public spaces - Free vaccines, tests & respirators - Paid time off

@USMortality We don’t have smallpox anymore because of a vaccine

No vaccine has ever been shown to have any clinical benefit! #ProveMeWrong

@Engineer_Wong I’d be depressed too if I had to live like you psychos

One member of our Covid cautious community suicided due to depression and long Covid. Someone saw his farewell on social media and called the police, but it was too late to save him. He was only 29 years old.

@SawyerBlatz Seem well enough to post on the internet pretty much all day 🤷‍♂️
