https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fauci-argued-benefits-of-gain-of-function-research-outweighed-pandemic-risk-in-2012-paper/ “In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision? Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks. It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky. Within the research community, many have expressed concern that important research progress could come to a halt just because of the fear that someone, somewhere, might attempt to replicate these experiments sloppily. This is a valid concern.” _____________________________________ Next, I agree with you, that Trump may have politicized the virus when he said it would be gone sooner than it would be...he said it was to keep panic down, but it also may have been to mitigate damage to his re-election chances... But, to be fair, it was also Biden and Kamala who were the original vaccine hesitant people when they voiced skepticism about taking the “Trump vaccine” when it was the pharmaceutical companies making it, not Trump...so there was politicization on both sides...

I disagree...clearly no one can compare the murder of millions to anything else...However, in this case, I’m referring to the psychology of what it takes to seduce a population by state run agencies and media censorship, like SCBills said...in that sense, I think it’s perfectly reasonable... After all, it would be very wise for people to study and know about that aspect of coercion, to guard against it in the future...so it’s necessary to see the warning signs and point them out whenever possible imo... And while yes, this is a public health crisis, the man pushing the solution is the very man who helped to creat this crisis in the first place...and the same man who also said, back in a 2012 paper of his, that even if his research caused a pandemic, it was worth it... Let that sink in for a moment... So there is no way I can ever trust these SOB’s...👍

Always amazes me that it’s the vaccinated (who are supposedly protected) who are the most fearful and authoritarian/totalitarian...while the unvaccinated are fully aware of their choices and are willing to accept the risk and their fate... This is likely a glimpse into how your average German citizen was suduced by the authoritarianism of the Nazi party...they were scared to death because of the propaganda Hitler and the national media was spewing, and voluntarily gave up their freedom so long as the State said they would protect them from the communists and Jews... Fear is a hell of a drug...

Oh, I’m trusting the science- that’s what is keeping me skeptical of government power- they keep contradicting the science...

Once everyone realizes that it’s never been about the vaccine, but rather a means to an end to change society as a whole, the better off we will all be... Thats what that uneasy feeling, inside, is telling you, when our officials are constantly contradicting themselves...trust your instincts and always stay skeptical of government power...👍

Who are you referring to?

Yup, we are probably just going to have to live with it like other viruses...But at least I feel better knowing that Fauci said his research was worth it, so...😒

I understand this guy’s frustration, but I really hate seeing stuff like this...while I respect people’s freedom to choose, he really hurts his cause by acting like a douche bag...people need to just live and let live...

Kamala is right...people will pin the boarder on her...🤣

The Left May be up to something imo...I don’t trust all the coordinated attacks on Biden from the msm...they might be trying to do to Biden what they did to Cuomo...rumor has it, they are trying to clear the way for Kamala...stay tuned...😉

Didn’t you know the greatest threat to America’s freedom is white supremacy? Duh...😉

Ha! This thread didn’t age well...😉

Man, I had high hopes for Sweeney... hope it’s not too long term...

I understand what you’re saying, but we’re not talking about inanimate objects in this case...we are not talking about soft tissue injuries induced by the player, himself...we’re talking about a collision by two players that was unnecessary, and that could have easily been avoided... Now we risk having our all-pro receiver out indefinitely because our vet safety felt he needed to play with some “swag”, as LeGOATski put it...great... If you are down with that, that’s fine- you are entitled to your opinion...but I am not down with that, especially if it ends up costing us regular season games- or worse, Diggs missing the season due to needing surgery...I know, call me crazy- but stuff like that happens...

Love the Beas!!!

Apparently not clean enough if Diggs is going on his second week of being out...gotta know better, otherwise the team suffers...

I’m still pissed at Hyde for going at Diggs that hard in practice...It’s almost like doing it to a Josh Allen...you gotta lay off your star players...

Because there are some people who feel that, in order to be sympathetic to other people’s diversity, they shouldn’t be held to the same standard of law and order... But don’t get me wrong...there are many forms of diversity that are great...But “diversity” just for diversity sake can be quite detrimental in certain circumstances...

Depends what kind of diversity...Diversity that brings more crime, and destroys the family is not the kind of diversity we should strive for...

Obada bringing the pressure!

I like him...he’s got a little “dog” in him...

Funny, I thought he was running well, broke 3 tackles on that one tough run to pick up 8 or 9...the run inside the 20 was nice too...I like his scrappy style...

Rousseau?

Gonna need play by play...storm took the power out 😉

Probably to get some practice in with the pregame warm ups
