Well whatabout...... I guess I'm wrong and skydecker makes a VALID point. Although I sustain my view that life supersedes the possible lingering and what is still short term (less than a year is still short term) and what can be isolated severe symptoms.

You're mistaken. The only circumstance where such thinking makes sense is where attending physicians ascertain the covid sick patient has little chance of survival. There is NO evidence of the long term disabilities arising from covid. Yes I know all about 75% of covid intensive care patients having reoccurring symptoms. This pandemic is less than a year old. Age within the ethical discussion of vaccine distribution is largely related to the preservation of life. In addition many studies have shown that younger people are less affected and have lower transmission rates. Those are the factors that have led medical ethicists to lay out the current plans for vaccine distribution. In almost every country in the world. With higher age, comorbidity factors taking precedent over most other factors. in the distribution of vaccine.

"Scientists in Brazil have downgraded the efficacy of a Chinese coronavirus vaccine that they hailed as a major triumph last week, diminishing hopes for a shot that could be quickly produced and easily distributed to help the developing world. Officials at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo said on Tuesday that a trial conducted in Brazil showed that the CoronaVac vaccine, manufactured by the Beijing-based company Sinovac, had an efficacy rate just over 50 percent. That rate, slightly above the benchmark that the World Health Organization has said would make a vaccine effective for general use, was far below the 78 percent level announced last week." China lying about Covid, who'd a thunk it?

Its somewhat astonishing to read that 15,000 fully armed troops will be needed at the capitol. Just to bring in a new president. The sacred cows of white supremacists, the gun culture are all just a part of American identity. India America

jakee, you don't have that new variant do you?

Currently the vote for impeachment in the senate is only six votes short. And if the House impeaches Trump, are there 66 senators (including 18 Republicans) who would vote to remove him from office this time around? As many as 12 GOP votes to impeach Its been a long six days, perhaps that little fact has slipped his mind?

Nobody but nobody has sold more fear...er...guns than the NRA. The NRA operates hand in trigger with the industry to spread fear to drive sales. Drive stockpiling. The Gun Industry in America. by the Center for American Progress "A new survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shows that today, only about 5 percent of Americans, 16 years old and older, actually hunt. That's half of what it was 50 years ago and the decline is expected to accelerate over the next decade." "But America’s gun super-owners, have amassed huge collections. Just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms – half of America’s total gun stock. These owners have collections that range from eight to 140 guns, the 2015 study found. Their average collection: 17 guns each." A good term for these superstockpilers of weapons would be trump supporters, or old white men. From 1994 to 2014 the percentage of American men that owned guns declined by 10%. No he's waiting for Wayne's latest talking points. But Wayne is worried about his income taxes and other liabilities about his theft of members funds.

"So far, an average of 49 percent of Americans support Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment... that 52 percent of Americans support Trump’s ouster, while only 42 percent oppose it" through impeachment. Polling this week.

Who'd a thunk it! Whites charged for crimes against Blacks. White politicians at that! Cue Greenwood's God Bless the USA. Evangelicals must be cowering in their churches. Glancing at each other in horror. Wondering how it all went so wrong.

"Rendall Brock Jr., a retired Air Force Reserve lieutenant colonel, was arrested on Sunday in Texas after he was seen carrying flex-cuffs, wearing a Kevlar, and rocking military patches on his body armor inside of the Senate chamber at the U.S. Capitol." From that same story, nothing like wearing your drivers license on your arm during an insurrection.

Mitch McConnell said trumps actions impeachable. Katko becomes first Republican to say he'll vote to impeach Trump trump's Teflon shield is starting to tear. It seems as though once corporate donors announced a suspension of political donations the Teflon of trumps shield began to weaken.

Somehow the evolution of humans, of human society and why its the dominant species. Is beyond the comprehension of some. They would choose to live in a jungle where the strongest feed the weakest to nature. In the 1930's someone else had the ideals of blonde hair, blue eyes, etc. as the perfect specimen.

The Proud Boys, other white supremacists, together with the usual mix of MAGA supporters have become full co-worshipers with evangelicals. While corporations, political leaders including GOP senators have broke from trump. Evangelicals continue their trump allegiance. How White Evangelical Christians Fused With Trump Extremism. "A potent mix of grievance and religious fervor has turbocharged the support among Trump loyalists, many of whom describe themselves as participants in a kind of holy war. Before self-proclaimed members of the far-right group the Proud Boys marched toward the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, they stopped to kneel in the street and prayed in the name of Jesus. The group, whose participants have espoused misogynistic and anti-immigrant views, prayed for God to bring “reformation and revival.” They gave thanks for “the wonderful nation we’ve all been blessed to be in.” They asked God for the restoration of their “value systems,” and for the “courage and strength to both represent you and represent our culture well.” And they invoked the divine protection for what was to come. Then they rose. Their leader declared into a bullhorn that the media must “get the hell out of my way.” And then they moved toward the Capitol."

Yes and by pointing that out you inherently know its irresponsible. Thanks. I personally felt like I had opened at 1600' by going to McDonalds last week for take-out.

This and its commonly called social responsibility. A core value of every good citizen.

All true and point taken but here is an article from "Responsible Statecraft" dated just pre-pandemic. "on Monday Trump’s campaign released a letter signed by over 230 retired generals and admirals supporting the president’s policies and condemning Joe Biden. Their sentiments echoed the president’s greater talking points on the trail: “With the Democratic Party welcoming to socialists and Marxists, our historic way of life is at stake.” The letter continues:" Aside from the obvious traditional support due to military budget funding by the GOP. There has been support by the most infamous general Michael Flynn, traitor to America. But America is not alone because other NATO allies are dealing with populists with fascist inclinations. That being Turkey and Poland. The founding fathers of America recognized this and did the Roman senate well before christ. Thankfully generals like Mattis and others do their best to keep the US military professional and apolitical. Apolitical by refusing to overtly support parties and politicians. But who at the same time should have well developed political consciousness.

The most scandal plagued NFL coach turns down the most corrupt president. Just shows the value of the trump brand. Oh well, President Putin has accepted his medal.

Speaking of the front of the line, Canadians love US health care: Canadian snowbirds chartering private jets to fly south for faster COVID-19 vaccine access. " flying private means Canadians can bypass airport security lines and busy boarding gates, limiting their exposure to others.... but said about 20 passengers have confirmed they were flying to Florida to get the COVID-19 vaccine. She added that inquiries have been increasing since mid-December....getting the COVID-19 vaccine, with private charters costing anywhere from $25,000 up to $80,000 per trip.... "This is not just people that are going to stay down in Florida, this is even people that were willing to go down with a couple of days to get the vaccine and then fly home again," Brind said." Thanks America. Free enterprise works best when: "I’ve seen people where they have a perfectly healthy child, and they go for the vaccinations and a month later the child is no longer healthy." Donald Trump on vaccines, 2012

Damn if that doesn't explain trump supporters and Jerry Springer at the same time.

"Melania Trump: Has No One Stopped to Think How the Capitol Hill Attack Affected ME?" Poor Melania! Certainly explains how her and Donald are so comparable. Also puts to rest any talk of divorce. Her and Donald deserve each other.

I looked and looked but no picture of Donald, Don Jr., Rudy, Ted Cruz, etc. Anyway this may be almost as good: PGA Championship 2022 canceled at Trump’s golf course after Capitol riot The Skilled Golfers Affiliation of America voted Sunday to cancel the PGA Championship at President Trump’s New Jersey golf course subsequent yr over the US Capitol riot. Seth Waugh, CEO of the PGA of America, mentioned the group was pressured to chop ties with Trump and the golf membership in Bedminster after his feedback fueled a riot at the US Capitol constructing final week. “We discover ourselves in a political scenario not of our making,” Waugh mentioned. “Our feeling was given the tragic occasions of Wednesday that we might now not maintain it at Bedminster…The one actual course of motion was to depart.”

trump, Don Jr., Rudy Giuliani laid the groundwork for her death. Perhaps you've heard of The Sackler Family. The band of criminals behind the Purdue Pharma,OxyContin, scam that killed over 100,000 Americans. Its the same. When trump and his band of enablers started programming his disciples it became just like Jonestown. The rabbit hole, the Kool-aid, the attraction of cult leaders that use psychology to manipulate people. The same. Its the leaders, their enablers, that need sanction. trump's mob cheered "lock her up". Cheered when he suggested BLM protestors get 10 years for lawful protesting. Laid the framework for the demonetization of the government and the left. Then of anyone who objected or criticized trump. Where is the announcement of a Congressional investigation, by the Senate, as to what happened on Wednesday? What groups and individuals are responsible? "Donald J. Trump on Tuesday appeared to raise the possibility that gun rights supporters could take matters into their own hands if Hillary Clinton is elected president and appoints judges who favor stricter gun control measures. Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Well like Ron at least the Chicago PD are consistent! Chicago Police Accountability Task Force (CPATF) on December 1, 2015,[1] in the wake of the shooting of Laquan McDonald and the protests and political fallout afterward.[3] On April 13, 2016, the task force released its final report, which found "racism and systemic failures in the city's police force, validating complaints made for years by African-American residents."[4]

Why not tell the truth? Why attempt to use fear and misinformation to make political points? Don't you understand it makes you appear to be untruthful and a troll? The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic
