Yeah I think this does need some clarification. To my non-lawyer ear, dismissed means a judge decided that the case has no merit and dismissed it. Dropped means the person filing the charges decided to not continue pursuit for whatever reason. IMO dismissed implies innocence.

Im sorry Teef, I’m not really tracking most of this. I respect you as a poster and already acknowledge you as smarter than the people who would think that. And of course it’s their decision. If you’re wondering why these “some people” are so sensitive/prickly it’s probably because people keep telling them that they’re bad people for holding their POV. I don’t think most actively engage those they think are vaccinated to tell them they are dumb. They usually just want to be allowed to make a MORE informed decision. However, they are often met with outrage for their POV, have begun to see instances where “some people” have been discriminated against (something those who are not being discriminated against wouldn’t notice) and are being threatened to be placed in sections only for “some people” if they’re allowed to attend at all. Most free people have a hard time dealing with that with a southern smile on their face. Maybe give them some slack. 🤷‍♂️

Cant really call them the minority until you hit 50% voluntary vaccinations. That’s both science AND math 😇

Well to be precise it’s Socialism. Communism is a lofty goal (to some) that is unattainable by today’s humans. That is because we’re too stuck on freedom and ownership. Socialism is the transition from capitalism to communism where “experts” and government officials control the society and its production because society isn’t evolved enough to accept communism. The thing is, no one gets past socialism because it gives too much power to the controlling class, leaving the rest destitute. So yes, I don’t like it and yes, unaccountable government officials telling people to do things against their will for the “good of the people” smacks of socialism.

So you’re saying that nobody thinks the vaccine actually works? That there isn’t a segment of the population who bought the hype and now believe they’re safe? You seem pretty smart. You like the muppets. I don’t think you fall into that category.

Says the person who never lived in a communist country 🙄

No, what if the data refutes our narrative?! Too risky

Exactly! You should be allowed to make your own risk assessment. I happen to think it’s dangerous for a segment of the population to think (incorrectly) that now that they received a vaccination that they are now 100% immune and don’t have to worry about it anymore. I think those people are just as risky as those who don’t get the vaccine but maintain a healthy and clean regimen out of precaution. The one-size-fits-all approach usually means it doesn’t fit anyone.

Come on man really? There is a huge difference between polio/Mumps etc vaccine and the Covid vaccine. Unless you’re trying to claim that the Covid vaccine is 100% and permanently effective? Is that your position? If so can you provide evidence, because I haven’t seen it.

True, but if it was a mandatory injected computer chip that can be scanned by a police officer, people would react similarly. Try to Keep it Apples to Apples man

Thanks DrD. If we were taking about a virus with a 10% or even a 1% death rate, I’d agree. I believe the efficient way would be to vaccinate those who are too weak/susceptible to the virus and allow for the “stronger” / less susceptible to have their anti-bodies count. I believe this is the correct method to attain true herd immunity. Vaccines are not cure-all’s. Without starting a food fight over terminology Flu shots or other vaccines addressing similar viruses are not 100% either. The fact that the new guidance is prepping us for “booster” shots or continued mask mandates even with vaccinations proves the point.

I find it funny that many can state this fact (<30% vaccination) and still think they hold the majority opinion on the matter. 🤷‍♂️ That said, It’s the NFLs product and I’m sure their insurance had a LOT to do with the decision. Going to a football game (vs going to work) is a completely voluntary event. If you don’t want to meet their standards, you don’t have to go. There are many other mediums to get NFL action. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.

You forgot to include those with actual anti-bodies. Much more effective than vaccines in 100% of instances. While you can’t directly add the number of infected to the number vaccinated as there will be considerable overlap, you can at a minimum count all positive cases over the last year as having anti-bodies. Vaccines are a substitute for those who don’t. We’re closer to the 70% than you realize. This is a good thing But no one makes money off anti-bodies, so I fully expect them to not be taken into consideration.

So at this point, Team Watson has admitted to: - Using AT LEAST 40 different MTs (more on that) - Shopping for MTs on IG - Flying some in from out of state - And now having consensual sex with some. Let’s dig into that last one: - We know 24(?) different MTs claim he made unwanted advances. - He introduced another 20 who he didn’t make sexual advances towards (He was very professional they claim) - Now admits to having consensual sex with yet ANOTHER pool of MTs (so not the ones he intro’d and not the ones suing) His only contention at this time, is that he does make sexual advances towards his MTs but they all wanted it. The frat boy / jock excuse is pretty lame. I particularly love the part when his lawyer says (paraphrasing) “ He didn’t use his fame/stardom/money to influence or coerce them”. Bro there’s No Way these ladies didn’t know who you are, and there’s no way you didn’t think who you were entitled you to do whatever it was you actually did.

I'll tell you though, the situation where the SI journalist reached out to a random masseuse and she had her own story very similar to the ones portrayed in the media did more to color my opinion than the (12, 14, 20, 22!) allegations.

Wow deleting my legit and respectful opinion/response while keeping your personal attack up is very cool bro.

Anyone reading your posts in this thread can easily ID the position you've staked out in this conversation. You think it's foolish not to "get the jab". Can you show me a post where you urge caution because this is still an experimental vaccine with unknown long/medium term health effects? That it is just as reasonable to "wait and see" as it is to "get the jab" without understanding the health implications. Because I can point to multiple posts where you deride anyone who holds that POV. Just saying. Both sides of this debate can be respected, even if you disagree.

You keep conflating safe vaccines with experimental vaccines as if they are equal. Never in those 200 years did anyone mandate an unproven vaccine whose long term effects on humans have not been determined. It takes YEARS for a vaccine to be vetted. Not 9 months. Saying that proven and vetted vaccines are good/safe so therefore ALL vaccines are good/safe is like saying "I didn't assault these massage therapists, so therefore I didn't assault ANY therapists". Unfortunately, it seems these days both sides have their "facts" and they use them to shut down any constructive debate.

Completely agree with all here. Some opinions are treated differently than others.

Yeah but is he going to get the vaccine?

Most normal people: Yup. You’re both jerks.

The fact that there are sides categorizes it as a political issue and not a health issue. Hence the explicit main board ban. Constitution...controversial??

50!!

I dunno man. I tend to value women more than dogs.
