@MikeHoward98 @DavidAFrench Trans people can compete! (On the team of their birth sex)

@DavidAFrench Thanks David; the law has to clarify when peoples’ rights “hit into each other” per se & in this case, the rights of the many women who want to compete far outweigh the rights of the very few trans who want to compete. Great thread 👊

A legal thread. Stories like this show why it's incredibly important to distinguish between discrimination and "invidious" discrimination. It's proper for the law to prohibit invidious discrimination, but sometimes it's necessary to protect other distinctions. /1

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS Yes, let's trade anecdotes all day. It's as helpful as your assertion in the first place 👍

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS free to let me why the opposite assumption would be more logical

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS I have anecdotal data you have zero data.

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS You're saying that your anecdote leads you to believe that the antithesis to my assumption is equally if not more likely to be true than my assumption.. I am saying logically it makes more sense, in the absence of data, that my assumption is true, rather than the antithesis

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS You're* making assumptions and you've yet to bring the data to prove your conjecture. I made an anecdotal claim, based on the data I have access to, (my family and friends), which refutes your assumption.

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS Ok, so your assumption is that, particularly vulnerable and immunocompromised people (if you read my original post it was about this cohort not healthy 20-40y/o's) who feel it is necessary to vaccinate against covid, are no more likely to take excess precautions to avoid

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS No, I think vaccinated people are behaving similar to the unvaccinated and are just living their normal lives going to grocery stores and doing things. And my "feeling" about this topic is no more or less based in facts or evidence than yours.

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS So again, just to be clear, you're saying that you feel, logically, it makes more sense that the unvaccinated *in general* take more precautions outside of the vaccine, to avoid covid infection, than those who are vaccinated.. b/c otherwise, you agree with my assumption

@DennyMa42199415 @anhedonic69 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS "it's extremely obvious" that it was not based on data and they are just putting forward sweeping assumptions about the behavior of a massive population that have no basis in fact other than it "feels" obvious. Asinine.

@Krow07100473 @anhedonic69 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS But it wasn't anecdotal, though. Lmao.

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS lmao good day Captain Logic

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS I said what I said. Needs no further explanation.

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS So you're saying in theory it makes more logical sense that *in general* someone who says I have no need to get vaccinated, would be more likely to take precautions like ordering groceries and not seeing family for holidays than someone who felt it was necessary to get vaxxed?

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS I'm saying your anecdotal assertion is no better than mine and I have good cause for believing you might be full of shit

@Krow07100473 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS and you think that somehow disproves that in general immunocompromised and vulnerable people who get vaccinations are more cautious than immunocompromised and vulnerable people who choose to be unvaccinated?

@anhedonic69 @DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS My entire family, extended included, are out here living our best vaccinated life. Zero COVID effs given. Restaurants, movies, gym, friend gatherings, indoor water park, plays, comedy club etc etc.

@DennyMa42199415 @davidgaw @odessit @ScottGottliebMD @WHCOS It's just extremely obvious that if you're cautious enough to take preemptive therapeutics, you are also likely to be cautious enough to reduce environmental risks and vice versa

@kbitter333 @RealCandaceO Mandate paid workout time and food prep time.

@RealCandaceO Instead of pushing vaccines, if this is about HEALTH, where are the outlets, support, and specialists on better diets, better workouts, better ways to take care of your health in general. Nowhere to be found. This isn't about health, in the most obese country.

Why don’t you come get this medical paper which correlates clinical obesity to a 113% higher chance of hospitalization, 74% higher chance of ICU admission, and a 48% higher chance of death. “But muh vaccine!!!” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@Someran36532115 @petgarsar @CassieCeleste @NateSilver538 Best pick the top 4 priorities then

If you believe statements such as "polls show BBB is super popular in West Virigina!" then I have a bridge over the Monongahela River to sell you. BBB polls just barely better than breakeven nationally. It is not going to be popular in a state Biden lost by 39 points.

@KiranKat4 @KaysGramma @allen_datone4 @AnaCabrera Lol

NEW: Kroger says COVID-19 paid leave will no longer be available to unvaccinated employees who contract the virus, according to a company spokesperson.

@Capt3958 @EricTopol I'm vaccinated so as to reduce my risk of severe COVID, not to avoid getting it altogether. We will all get COVID at one point or another and this virus will be endemic.

@EricTopol And anecdotes of post third dose infections are rapidly accumulating. When will the US start collecting and reporting on this? People who have gotten the whole series have demonstrated interest in protecting themselves. They’re not being adequately informed of the risks.

If you get exponential growth, you'd buy this UK projection, and realize what it portends for the US: "If Omicron infections continue to double every 2.5 days, as current estimates suggest, there will be a million people infected this coming Sunday alone." #myft:my-news:page" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ft.com/content/d69a0a…

@KaysGramma @allen_datone4 @AnaCabrera Insurance companies make smokers pay more & if there was good data 2 indicate flu vaccine protect individuals from hospitalization, they'd make u pay more for that. If you are at an age where your Dr recommends preventative screening & ur not doing it, u should 💯 pay more!

@michaelmina_lab This plan doesn't seem to consider how to account for disrupting and shutting down essential services should it be required.

HERE IS THE PLAN TO GET US OUT OF THIS #COVID19 WAR • NO lockdowns • NO waiting for vaccines • Reverses cases in weeks A true public health approach focused on the ppl To end the public health *WAR* we are in. RAPID At-Home COVID Testing for All ti.me/3kEGOoM

Thank you Valerie June for spending 672 minutes with me this year on @Spotify. You are my #1. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/4QZdOCb…

@evanbear20 @mattyglesias Why?

@Krow07100473 @mattyglesias Presumably it would be even worse with lower pay.
