But I'm talking about State vaccine mandates that have been on the books for 40+ years.

What I asked was: are you ok with State governments forcing citizens to take vaccines? Polio, MMR, etc.?

If you ever coached youth sports, or work in state government education........more than you think are NOT vaccinated with the decades old....and proven....vaccines.

So.......is the key word on "citizens".....or does your buddies One THousand dollar a nite, stay, dishwashing "interns" make sure they are up to snuff with "forced" vaccines ?????????

Come back with some HARD evidence as to how many people of YOUR county have vaccine "waivers"........go ask the school folks.....sure they will tell you

What harm, will a covid survivor, and natural immunity, but no vaccine, will become of your parents if they come into contact with antibodies, like me ? (STILL.......unanswered... )

....or if you can read. You can find that vaccination rates for K-12 vaccines are 90% nationwide for things like MMR.

Figured it out on my own. Know why? I have a kid, my man. And I had to follow Colorado law surrounding the use of license daycare as well as K-12.

What's YOUR excuse for forgetting that you yourself were vaccinated BY LAW to attend K-12?

Oooooh. That's REALLY hard to find.

Denver County's vaccination rate for MMR vaccine is a shade over 90%. Which means....what for the remaining ~10%?

Already answered. You moved the goalposts from my daughter, who ruins your fake argument, over to my parents.

And my answer....again? I don't know, my man. I'm not a doctor or a virologist. Are you?

Do you play this game of "I read it on the internet" for all your health issues? Or just Covid?

Me? I listen to my doctor, and my daughters doctor. Just like every other American did before this stupid pandemic. Which is why we're at 90% vaccination rate for immunization shots that you and I don't understand at even a basic level. We just followed our doctors instructions. OH, and the law.

Just as you will do the next time you're in a hospital for a serious problem.....

You have NEVER answered why I am a threat to anyone, let alone your parents. Oh well.......what you do.

Dude, what about OTHER vaccines, for your county ? Come on, man, TLD types want you to take EVERY vaccine ......what about small pox vaxxine for the kids? What about HPV, isn't THAT mandatory for school aged kids ? To get vaccinated for genetal herpes......because THEY tell you too.

So, no kidding, the stats for vaxx's are easy to find....until they aren't.

Guess you aren't concerned about your daughter becoming friends with one of those 10 percent kids that do NOT have the vaccinations like MMR and HPV. You asking AFAN? You asking your daughters potential play date if they have these vaccines? If not..........just hmmm..

Dude....you are KING of the net moving. KING.

100 kids in the South Park gym......10 of them don't have the basic vaccines. Cool......what IS to worry about.

Yet.....no problem.......those kids are FINE.

Conservatives Want to Launch Their Own Anti-Vax Airlines

Meanwhile, other right-wing figures have more pressing concerns: namely, how to launch their own airlines for pilots and passengers who refuse to be vaccinated. Those anti-vax voices are responding to airlines’ new requirements that pilots and flight crew be vaccinated. “I love this idea of conservatives hitting a minor social roadblock and then trying to launch a billion-dollar enterprise to avoid it,” says Weill. “It’s like all the Thiel fellows who want to live out in the sea to avoid taxes. At a certain point you’re like, ‘OK man, just go.’” Will a squadron of conservative Twitter personalities earn their pilot licenses, buy planes, and give a new meaning to “airborne” virus? Or will their efforts end as dismally as previous libertarian plots to avoid taxes by building boat-based societies in the middle of the ocean?

That's because it's a stupid question...and you know the answer. You're looking for a fight, as usual.

The answer is: you can give someone Covid, my man. Just as someone can give it to you. Boy, that was REALLY hard to answer. And yep, even though I have been vaccinated? I can get Covid, and give it to you.

Yep. I'll be giving my daughter every. single. vaccine her doctor recommends. Can you imagine? I should do what you do, and get my medical advice "from some guy on the internet". I must be insane to listen to someone with decades of training and experience. I should listen to you instead, right?

Right, I give you the actual numbers, and as usual, out comes the tin foil hat....and you've got the "real" vaccine statistics from "some guy on the internet". I love how no matter what, no one has the real story except for you. You're the only person in the whole world who knows the truth, and the rest of us are stupid.

See, this is where actually thinking comes in, RRR. You are unable to think about anyone but yourself. So to you, any measures anyone takes to prevent massive outbreaks of disease sound insane.

The reason we have mandatory vaccines is to prevent massive outbreaks on a macro scale. Get it? This isn't about you, my man. Or one single person. It's about protecting millions of people in America as best we can. Some will have reactions to shots. Some, like you, won't get them at all. So the MMR vaccine is about controlling massive outbreaks.....so yep, I'm sure my daughter will play with unvaccinated kids. Heck, she's playing with them right now when it comes to the Covid vaccine.

But the end goal is to keep as many people in America as we can from getting MMR or polio, or in this case....Covid. And for those of us who give a *hit about their fellow Americans? They understand why we're taking these measures. Those who don't get it, like you? You whine and complain and argue about doing anything at all. Everyone is stupid except you....we get it.

Nope. You just can't maintain a constant thought for more than five minutes. You lose track of what we are talking about, and move on when you don't get whatever reaction you want. I just happen to be the only one here who is patient enough to put up with it. I answer your questions directly....and you ignore the answers you don't like, and tell me I never answered them.

Researchers at SUNY Binghamton have shown a 16% reduction in COVID illness rate in democratic led states compared to republican led states. This based on 2020 data only.

Who knows what Kyrie actually believes. But his reps are doing a great job of pre-textually using Covid to leverage the Nets in contract talks. Since Kyrie was due up for a long term extension negotiation about this time (Covid or no).

Bottom line, Kyrie is a contract hold out. But is able to use Covid to still get paid half his salary (about $15M).

The end game is to get the Nets to trade him or renegotiate.

i'm not sure he was due (has 2 years left), but durant had supposedly an identical contract including timing and length and just got extended 2 months ago for a bump to ~$50 mill, 4 years.

there's also the kyrie-wanted-out of cleveland in part because he was chasing clout of being "the guy" to win the ring. now it's a 3 headed deal in bklyn.

“Irving could get a four-year extension for $146 million in new money, replacing his $35 million option for 2022–23 with a $40.5 million paycheck in the first year of the new deal. A five-year re-signing of Irving as a free agent next summer would be worth $236 million.”

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/brooklyn-ne ... ving-8051/

My guess is that the Nets, Durant and Hardin have decided they can live without Kyrie and his BS. And are willing to pay him $15M to go away and stay away.

TBD if some other team will be willing to acquire and pay up for him to be the "guy" on their team.
