Today the eagle is majestic, graceful. Free to roam the skies and fill you with national pride. Yesterday the eagle was a savage predator. Praying on the weak and dieing. Raiding fowl farms and dinning on beloved family cats.

At the risk of injecting politics, have you considered the type of person that doesn't want the vaccine and whether or not they would even entertain the idea of masquerading as LGBTQ? You can't really fake protected status. And the one "protected" status that is easy to fake - religion - isn't always valid in California, unless your Wiccan or Muslim. |

This is another failure of logic. I'm sure pharmaceutical groups are out to make money and see people as consumers, that's probably 100% true. We have decades of evidence of that. But there's a lot of money to be made with these vaccines. I don't get that argument. If one of them messes this vaccine up their reputation is probably ruined forever. If they succeed they're going to make BILLIONS of dollars. They have every financial incentive to succeed here and make sure their product works. Does that mean it will? I guess time will tell. I'm not saying yes or no. We'll have to see where we're sitting a year from now. But the general argument (that they're only out to make money) is in direct conflict with the idea that there's something nefarious going on here. The correct business play is to make the best vaccine and you're gonna get rich. I mean really rich.

It's all about risk vs. reward. It would be foolish, as you say, for them to take too many chances because failure would mean ruin and the loss of billions in potential profits. However, profit is also directly related to cost. They're not going to take every step necessary to ensure success. They're going to take only the steps necessary to give them the best chance of success, at the lowest cost possible. That's just corporate business 101. |

The 3-way relationship between healthcare providers, insurance companies, and the government produces this kind of hyperinflation.

There have been a lot of lies and deception in this thread so I just wanted to address one of those as it relates to mandates. Somebody back in this thread mentioned that the American people had spoken and we all agreed to the science behind everyone being vaccinated. This couldn’t be further from the truth. For those of you who have been here for a while you will recall the debates over mandates. At the time more and more people where opting out, not in. There is still a ton of people doing this post college but I am sure this will be addressed by those in power soon enough. One of the main problems people had at the time was not even having the freedom to determine what gets directly injected into their bloodstream. The second was that an issue so important was never brought directly to the people. The industry used the people’s money and its own to promote this authoritarian state using science every other word on that path. Anyone regardless of background was shut down and made a target by this state much in the same way every expert on this subject was shut down during Covid and we were all forced to listen to Fauci only.
If you say you are for individual rights and freedoms you can’t just say that when it’s something you want. At this point you have your choice of 3 different vaccines for covid. You have your double masks which should make you bullet proof all by itself. You can also stay home or do all 3. IMO you don’t have the right to say what gets injected into everyone else.
