I'll pick my two favorites: - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/ - Him being racist for saying Mexicans bring drugs across the border during his announcement speech (in the face of 100k Americans dying a year) and Heroin supply chains starting in Mexico
-
I go by experience. Trump didn't try to lock me in a 1000 sq ft house in West LA and force me to take an untested product or lose my remote work job.
-
So you don't find it funny that the politics around it switched 180, often in the same people as many as 3 separate times?
-
They can go mine lithium in the Salton Sea so we have more solar panel batteries to enrich Elon. Ahem, I mean stop climate change.
-
Spoken like a true authoritarian. "Your kids won't have food, so you don't have to get it."
-
What's funny is it was propagating right wing Twitter before all that. When Pelosi said it was racist to be concerned about it and photographed herself at a Chinese New Year festival. Right wing people were wearing masks in February 2020 and saying it was going to end civilization. In addition the Trump vaccine association at first to posting vaccine emojis to your profile. Covid did more political flip flopping than John Kerry!
-
This does not at all address what I said. I was concerned of when it was introduced and forced. If you want to make an argument for it being forced across the population today I would still fight you on it, but it's much better than 2021 when the risk profile was completely unknown and some populations, like remote workers, had near zero risk of transmitting it. Authoritarians sacrificed the youth for your fear. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch

The vax was not a political issue for me when I originally posted about it. Any new product has unknown risk (737 MAX), a quick Google shows 1/3 of medical products have a major unknown side effect AFTER launch. You can't look at the risk profile of covid for younger populations and say that was worth the risk of forcing everyone to get it, especially if they had other mitigations (remote work) or prior infection.
-
We should force everyone to get it, even the low risk groups who aren't IV drug users and prostitutes. I actually didn't know Hep B was an antigen only vaccine, but yes I am aware they exist. As stated it does not meet the old definition that specifically included a pathogen and not parts of one. I guess the newer subunit types would not quality under that definition either. Marin County used to be antivax central and it was a hippy thing. Yes sometimes things need to be branded a certain way. "Trump vaccine" for example was effective in getting everyone to shun it.
-
Yes, but not enough to be bragging from a Challenger Jet on my way to Santorini. At my peak I had 200, when I made $30k I thought I was a genius.

I've acknowledged Trump sucks, is pathologically narcissistic, etc. Despite that there are still numerous instances where he has been unfairly attacked starting from the launch of his 2016 campaign. Kamala had plenty of instances where she was asked directly, from media that are sympathetic to her campaign, about policy positions which are third rails in 2024, and she bumbled them or said nothing to clarify how her view point had changed. Talking to disappointed Dem voters that seems to be a consistent failure on her part.

Naming it a vaccine was a mistake. The formulation is totally different than viral vector techniques. While newer those are still an actual pathogen being put in the vaccine. In addition, you run up against the public's colloquial understanding of vaccine meaning you are protected and don't transmit the disease. TB Vax isn't a very common vaccine. The ones the public knows are MMR, Smallpox and Polio, and the constant message those vaccines saved the world and antivaxxers cause measles outbreaks. Vaccine == no outbreaks in most people's understanding. The public trust collapsing in real vaccines from something 95% or above to 90% or less proves that calling a mRNA shot a mistake.

Refusing to be a partisan hack is more fun and intellectually honest.

So this is fake: https://time.com/6276552/covid-19-vaccine-immunity-wanes/ https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2804451?utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_term=050323 half-life of VE against symptomatic infection was estimated to be 87 days (95% CI, 67-129 days) for Omicron compared with 316 days (95% CI, 240-470 days) for Delta. Similar waning rates of VE were found for different age segments of the population.

Sir, this is a Bitcoin thread, not a shitcoin thread.

$89,000. If you bought $5000 worth when this thread started you could have bought a Caravan and opened a DZ or bought a house next to Grimmie in Costa Rica.

So not fair, I don't have the mental energy to come up with a, "they let me do it joke"

To be clear on the media question, I think the right-wing media is just as terrible as the left-wing media. All of it is trash. Absolute garbage. When I say all here I mean 97% of it. Also, I'm not sure. I said I had a strong opinion about Harris. She was part of the administration that made decisions which caused me to vote for Trump. I'm not sure. I have a very strong opinion of her as a person.
-
For about 2 months after you get the second shot.
-
I am not sure I made the right decision. The next 4 years will tell me whether I made the right decision. I can tell you why I made the decision right now in 2024.
-
As I was previously mocked for, I have a 4.0 in biochemistry and a degree in chemistry. Grade inflation I guess. The fact that trust in general vaccine use has fallen measurably proves it should not have been called a vaccine.
-
Cognitive dissonance would be if I told you Trump in Vance were totally perfect and never told a lie and also that they told a lie. That is not what I told you. I am acknowledging that your Haitian immigrant dog cat may be a lie and also that they are not perfect. What made you think it was cognitive dissonance?
-
I don't know all the specifics of the flu vaccine, however, to my understanding that most of the problems with it come from trying to guess the strain. It's my understanding they grow a virus and use the virus to inoculate the person which hopefully if the strain is correct. Confers immunity. So yes, it is an actual vaccine.
-
I'll tell you if you tell me at least one lie Kamala told that you regret and wish she hadn't.

Screenshot of dictionary.com from 2019. Note the any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease. It did not confer immunity and when it became obvious it didn't they doubled down and added the pressure to take it despite cases (and even deaths) skyrocketing through the roll out and the pulling of the non mRNA j&j vaccine. People's experience and idea of what a vaccine was not that, hence the doubling down causes massive distrust in anything with the same name. It was great being gaslit, I think even here, that they never said it was supposed to stop you from getting it. Despite everyone in the media, Joe Biden, and the CEO of moderna claiming "you wouldn't get it". Thanks for polio.
