Biden is Mentally Fit

Any chance some of them have had second thoughts since the article that was published in Jun 2021? Is it even possible?

“With vaccines, you’ll get one or two shots (maybe even three if you get a booster),” says Dr. Cunningham. “If you are going to get a reaction from a vaccine, it’s going to occur soon after you receive the vaccine. At most, it will occur within two months—not 10 years later.” From the article. What about boosters 4,5,6 and beyond? Is there any mRNA science that speaks to it? Your personal risk aversion ceases when it comes to repeated mRNA injections. Good for you. Having had covid a year after my initial two round vax and lived to tell the tale I’m going to wait a little while and see how it all plays out. It turns out the vaccines neither prevent one from getting covid nor spreading it.

What are the long-term ramifications of repeated mRNA boosters? Does your doctor know? If so, how does he know?

You have also told us you wear a mask in crowded indoor settings. The world has moved on. Not everyone is as risk-averse as you seem to be. You and like-minded people are free to do what you do. Nobody cares. If that makes you a more thoughtful person than the vast majority, well, you’ve got that going for you.

Apologies. I surmised.

What makes you believe everyone gets a flu shot? Because you do? You are clearly in the camp that there is no way that mRNA shots will have zero consequences a little while down the road. I am not. There’s not enough….science…to know. If I am wrong about that, please let me know what the future looks like. https://www.statista.com/statistics/861176/flu-vaccine-coverage-by-age-us/ Do we get it? Many do, many don’t.

The sub-headline from that article: But the benefit of vaccines in reducing Omicron transmission doesn’t last for long. The vaccines do not prevent covid infection nor the spread of covid. Who is debating that at this stage? Anyone that wants some temporary measure of semi-protection can get it whenever they want.

The bottom line is that they neither prevent infection nor spread of infection. Nobody is saving the herd through repeated boosting no matter how brave that is. Those that fear hospitalization or worse should do what’s best for themselves.

Like you, I am a man of science. When the numbers looked good out of Israel, I took the shot of my own free will, not because I was told to or so that I could prove my bravery (thanks again for your heroism). Once the numbers turned to sh*t and it was clear the miracle vax was less than miraculous, I combined my love of science with common sense and decided not to bother. You instead appear to prefer lining up behind the Walensky’s, Maddow’s and Stelter’s of the world. Now that’s brave!! Carry on vaccine warrior! Somebody has to do what they are told.

I see you are a big science guy (seems counterintuitive based on your posts, but whatever). I once asked one of your like minded board members a covid science question but he didn’t answer. The question dealt with the Sabres playing in an empty arena in Canada on the same day the Rams won the Super Bowl before 80k people. I was just curious which science he believed in. Canadian science or California science. Both places were impacted by covid. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/health/vaccine-effectiveness-bivalent-boosters-cdc/index.html Your bravery in protecting the herd with extra boosting is noted. Based on some reading, including from this well-known conservative outlet, continued boosting might actually fly in the face of science. Carry on, progressive hero.

Thank you for bravely taking a chance for the greater good. That couldn’t have been easy for you knowing that orange man was pumping operation warp speed. Hopefully you posted vaccine selfies to encourage others. Do you draw the line at a certain number of boosters or is it a whatever it takes situation?

Thank you Saint Bernie of Vermont for protecting others (from his breath most likely). 🤦

Chigoose and redhawk hardest hit.

There’s almost no topic that AOC can’t weave a racism/white supremacy thread through. It’s an easy out for her. To me that signals intellectual weakness rather than strength. Left brain/right brain.

https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/545908-hypocritical-hilarious-aoc-says-calling-border-crisis-a-surge-invokes/ Is your opinion of her intellect higher, lower, or unchanged after reading this? Like every other Washingtonian she’s a hypocrite 24/7. Doesn’t walk the walk on her climate claims nor on her kids in cages drama. Two easy examples among many. Has anyone on this board ever gone to bat for MGT?

Still 8 years left so we can all breathe easy. Beats the hell out of 6. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/426353-ocasio-cortez-the-world-will-end-in-12-years-if-we-dont-address/

RIP to what seems to have been a misguided soul.

Buyers remorse. Some of your finest work. F ‘em harder now that someone wrote about it in THE FEDERALIST. Right?

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/10/politics/biden-social-security-medicare-trust-funds/index.html Other than repeating his common refrain of making the wealthy and big corporations pay more, he has yet to outline a vision for securing the entitlement programs. Go figure.

https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/081514/why-there-cap-federal-insurance-contribution-fica-tax.asp This explains it all pretty clearly if you want to know more. It definitely needs fixing and it seems like there are options. Of course fixing it would remove it as a scare tactic for our best and brightest in Washington.

WaPo and the rest are just seeking the truth!

I found one!

Alf has it right. Last year’s limit was 147,000 at which point you no longer paid the 6.2% SS tax (12.4% for self employed). Up to 160,00 this year.

"President Biden, while still a senator for Delaware, introduced legislation to sunset all federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare.... Biden doubled down on his legislation in the '90s, saying on the Senate floor that his bill would affect Social Security.... 'When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security, as well,' Biden said. 'I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the federal government.... And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time." https://news.yahoo.com/flashback-biden-introduced-bill-sunset-181857869.html It was different back then. Rick Scott is the next Paul Ryan pushing granny off a cliff.
