Vaccines are really necessary

Vaccine hesitancy winning

Cervical cancer, considered a “highly preventable” disease, has long been declining in the United States — but it’s now on the rise among women in their 30s and 40s.

The trend seems to be to blame any rise in any cancer on ‘the jab’ for Covid, though. I see it cropping up in all sorts of media. Reinforces the anti vaxxers on two fronts then.

The US House issued its report on the COVID-19 pandemic.
You can read it here.

I don’t know if this thread is the best place so feel free to move it.

The first line states;
" 1. The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature."

After that piece of nonsense you can throw the rest of the report away.

The nonsense is based on this statement ““SARS2 possesses a furin cleavage site, found in none of the other 871 known members of its viral family, so it cannot have gained such a site through the ordinary evolutionary swaps of genetic material within a family”

In fact there are many contrary scientific studies like;
# Furin cleavage sites naturally occur in coronaviruses

Furin cleavage sites in the spike proteins of bat and rodent coronaviruses

Nichola Wade, a retired journalist with no science degrees but a Bachelor of Arts, made the above statement about " biological characteristic that is not found in nature."
He provided no evidence to support this claim which is rejected in studies performed by experts who have advanced science degrees.

Some guy at my work tried to call in sick today using corona as an excuse as if it was 2020.
He even tried to throw in the ol’ “yeah, I don’t want to put other people at risk” :joy:

What will be most annoying over the next 4 years is that provocative, ignorant and relatively boring trolls like you will be energized and pop up all over.

It’s good to know that there are sensible people about who think of others as well as themselves.

Whether it’s covid, flu or just a bad cold I personally would prefer that people keep their germs to themselves, especially at this time of year.

This is normal in office jobs where customers are not in front of you. I did it last week. I just worked from home in spite of being an “office day” in my team.

Not so normal in jobs where physical presence at workplace is irreplaceable: teachers, drivers, cashiers, etc.

So, it depends on the line of work.

Is there an admin “mute” button that sorta temporary bans a user, like a sin bin in Rugby? would be awesome to have a few days off, without a troll.

Red cards are not honored by trolls.

Sort of like an early Christmas present?

You can ignore people directy from their profile page:

I know, but I don’t ignore anyone, I was thinking there’s a way to send a message to the troll without an outright ban. He/she/it is not “dangerous” or anything, just litters threads with random rubbish. Anyways, I stop the offtopic…

Thank you. My godmother was on the WHO team that eradicated smallpox worldwide. She is turning in her grave over Kennedy. Even the stupids realise that his stance will “cost lives” (per the orange one).

So, not telling us where manly men go to work in spite of being sick? It would be useful to learn which employer to avoid in the future.

TBH, the flu did not put me in bed. But it’s quite comfy to work from home while sneezing like hell.

I’m sure it’s fab working for some sweat shop that frowns on people staying away from work when they’re full of a highly infectious bug.

You probably didn’t have the flu then and instead just a bad cold.
