...........not according to CDC - Robert F. Kennedy jr. (Secretary of Health)

Def contrast from condemning Cap Cops, police protection, during the Jan 6th insurrection to applauding their actions at the WH correspondence roast. What's the difference? Trump's a$$ was on the line. The guy is a coward. Trump's rhetoric almost immediately switched to the danger of the job (i.e. I'm brave to do it) , to posting vid shorts and of course the new Ball Room and it's designed protection features. Trump was in NO danger ....... hundreds of feet away - no Donald, ya don't get a purple heart. Pathetic

Covid didn't keep an old, useless piece of shit in the WH either............. just the opposite. Maybe he should have let the devil take the hindmost?

They say assumption will make an 'a$$' out of people.

.............. the world is a sewer, getting smaller ......................... nice to hear u won't be a hypocrite ....... stay strong. BTW - the odds are much more favorable if ur rich.

................ yeah, things like polio scared the public.

re: " I don't trust pharma - I don't trust any of it" It doesn't matter what "facts" you throw out" / Deluge that you? "I don't trust any of it"? Dude, I sincerely hope ur not made out to be the hypocrite at some point in ur life........... on the other hand it might give u time to reflect. FWIW - The WH on Friday shared a memo from Trump physician detailing his latest visit to WRAMC, where Trump received both a COVID-19 booster and flu shot. Although Trump advocated for the vaccine a few times, he eventually quieted his support for it and focused more on Biden's rollout.

On the contrary, the U.S. fertility rate has significantly declined, reaching a record low of around 1.5 kids / female in recent years ......... which is far below the 2.1 replacement level needed to sustain population growth ......... without immigration. I believe Canada has the same problem ......... but the 'maw' of requirement is much less (less overall population) As far as the U.S. goes tho is that the backfill of immigrants required will likely be a generation of resentment - raised in an environment of persecution, racism, discrimination and violence. I think we can agree that DHS (ICE) suffers from Xenophobia to an alarming degree - beginning at the very top. Oh, yes........... there's going to be trouble in river city........ civil unrest, race riots, weaponized immigration control If ur colored in the US, no matter ur official standing re: citizenship or pathway to, there is no protection for ya, and that's regardless of age.

The question is not whether the United States is a great country - it is! The question is whether it will remain a great country. The U.S. is being ruled by a leader who sees himself as C-in-C of only 1/2 the country and relishes it, promotes it, grooms it! The first 6 months of the second Trump administration have been characterized by a haphazard yet comprehensive evisceration of basic government institutions. From the mass firing of federal workers to the effective shuttering of entire agencies, Trump and his billionaire allies have pillaged public-serving institutions while giving themselves cover by claiming to promote 'efficiency'. A present example is the clown-show negotiations with Iran - the Diplomatic Corps is gone - in its stead the country is left with Witkoff and Kushner? Supposedly Just-Do-It Vance when he does show up doesn't realize he's negotiating with the Iranian, coffee boy - arguably Iran is schooling he US - greatest example of international trolling the World has ever seen. Indeed, the question IS whether it will remain a great country...........no allies, raging inflation and counting China, NK and Russia as it's (only?) allies.................... who will be like tigers at a feast or jackals arguing over a corpse. Ottoman empire come lately? Hope not.

Trump's legacy will be with us for generations - more the pity.

It has been my experience that in life, to succeed, you need to know how to 'play the game'. Arguably, most Canadians wouldn't know who Diefenbaker was, or King, much less their contributions to the country. Holy fk Batman, Sir John A. MacDonald is being convicted on historical guilt, his legacy is that of being a racist, promoting cultural genocide. Arguably western Canada would have welcomed Manifest Destiny if not for this guy's tenure.

........... vax is nice in preventing a pandemic. It's really not about you, per se? Pandemic noun 1. a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease over a whole country or the world at a particular time. The global COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, began with an outbreak in Wuhan, China.

They say a drowning man will grasp at straws ......... I wish u long life and good health - and not be tested on ur convictions. Would u grasp at what u consider a straw in pursuit of life longevity? ........... or are u hypocritical? Thought so!

........... insult to misery is that if a youth does not commit another offense during a 3 year access period, subsequent to conviction / sentencing their criminal record is sealed and removed from active law enforcement

They're necessary to prevent the spread of disease.......... on a logarithmic scale. I agree, ya can take a donkey to water but ya can't force him to drink. 😁

I really do hope u are correct and that the 'great experiment' endures. ............ I can't get over the feeling tho that something, 'is rotten in the state of Denmark' - so to speak! 😁

haha ................ def not req'd here ........... I don't put faith in those that can supposedly explain the contents of a jar but can't figure out how to take the lid off. Science is crucial to healthcare, / advancement (science is the oxygen of evidence based approach to healthcare).

I'm saying vax is supported by science and decades of statistics.

............ suppose I'd give Carney a nod for his proven ability to perform on the World stage at least in terms of rhetoric - Pierre P(sp?) makes a good voice in opposition.

For the uninformed. 😄 Simpsons paradox happens when a trend that appears in several subgroups of data reverses or disappears once those subgroups are combined. re: 'I don't" - ur probably sporting a pudgy just thinking about it. 😄

I'll take ur word for 'don't'. 😄😄

The TRUST IS gone - the World is leaving the US behind. What made the US the great Nation it once was? The United States was the perfect example of something created that is " greater than the sum of all the parts (allies) that made it a great nation". The United States was the leader of the free world - as Reagan said, 'that shining city on the hill'. Now don't get me wrong - people will still want to immigrate to the US - heavily vetted of course - but the shine is gone. Trust is gone. More the pity.

I'll take ur answer as no! 😄

Why do u want knowledge on gay sex😄 I'll take ur answer as a no. 😄
