Except, at that point, it was painfully obvious that he hadn't broken any other laws. This was when the jury was deliberating after all the facts of the trial had come out. I asked you later in that thread to articulate a law that was broken and you bailed. Again, you wanted a him hit was a "weak manslaughter charge" for reasons you couldn't articulate. You took a huge L after the riots reeing about state lines, and you took another one right after the trial, and for some reason, because you're incapable of learning, you insist on taking another one right now. :lol: :roll: 

That's a whole lot of words to say you just did a swan dive into a huge pile of fail and embarrassment.

"Reality bubble activate!" :roll::roll:

I mean, I feel like I'm gloating at this point, but wow, the vaccine is hot garbage. Holy ish. :roll:

lmfao right, the guy who wanted a "light manslaughter charge" just completely nailed it. My bad! :roll:

Talk to a pediatrician.  They’ll tell you to get your kid vaccinated.  Have a nice day, guy.

Thanks for not answering the question. Have a good day

So doesn't the evidence show that this isn't a kid killer and really no need to give them the vaccine? 

Still waiting for this answer. 

Here is a data point to help you out. 

790 kids between the ages of 0-18 years old out of 807, 773 have died in the US because of COVID. 

https://data.cdc.gov/widgets/nr4s-juj3?mobile_redirect=true

Children are 1) capable of spreading the disease and 2) capable of overloading the hospital system during cold and flu season due to COVID pneumonia/bronchiolitis.  I can tell you the children's hospitals up here are packed with plenty of kids being roomef in the ED right now. That can have a major effect on other non- COVID emergencies. I had one patient who was neutropenic due to chemotherapy who ignored a fever one night because he didn't want to go to the ED and have a long wait. He passed.  Now I can't say he'd have made a different decision if it weren't for COVID but it does illustrate to importance of not overwhelming the system if we can avoid it.

CDC intensified recommendations when there was a more deadly variant popped up and more data cane to light, and it was fear mongering and government overreach.  Now they've softened quarantine protocols in the setting of a less deadly variant and more research into the infectious phase, and it's an admission of defeat and proof that they've been lying all along.:wacko:

 

I think the CDC has been doing a lot of this on the fly.  I remember when this initially hit, down in Miami Beach over here, the beaches were shut down which is ridiculous when you think about it, especially when it was warm and sunny outside.  I still shake my head when I see people alone in their cars masked up, or people on scooters or motorcycles wearing masks but not helmets and driving somewhat recklessly.

That being said, stuff is spreading at the moment (as often does during cold and flu season), and it makes good sense to take some precautions at the moment.

An analysis of 71 studies on Ivermectin suggest otherwise.

If this is legit, that would be great.   Will be interested to see  a review of this Meta-analysis.  I have a question on it already just from looking at the first study they cite, the Chowdhury study.   They cite this study as a positive.  However, if you actually go into the study and read it (the study looked at recovery times in ivermectin vs. HCQ), the study claims that the difference in recovery time was not statistically significant.  The mean recovery time in the treatment arm was 8.933 days vs 9.33 days in the control arm.

https://ejmo.org/pdf/A Comparative Study on IvermectinDoxycycline and HydroxychloroquineAzithromycin Therapy on COVID19 Patients-16263.pdf

So why is the Meta Analysis you posted claiming conclusions that the study authors themselves aren't concluding?  And how many other studies did they do this to if I was able to find this just by looking at the first one in alphabetical order?

It is an interesting topic though.  Over here the basic philosophy in the medical community and system is that one does not provide any treatment/medication to a person in order to benefit someone else.  That's their basic tenet and it is causing some real discussion. So far, the decision has been to not offer kids under 12 the vaccine unless they have some other underlying risk and that's based on the overall cost/benefit analysis for young children (not society as a whole).  This policy is fluid and still subject to change.

To recap:

Trial: Rittenhouse did not commit any crimes by being at the protest armed. The judge even famously threw out a gun charge about Rittenhouse's rifle not being regulation.

Mayanh8: Hurrderr he should be charged with light manslaughter assuming he broke the law to get himself there.

Everyone: But he didn't, can you articulate what law you think he broke?

Mayanh8: *evacuates thread*

I know, bud, you'll always have "state lines." :roll:

Again, when asked to articulate a law that was broken, you couldn't and you evacuated. You can keep going in circles pretending you had some reason for wanting manslaughter charges on the kid, but everyone knows the real reason, Mr. State Lines! :lol: :roll: 

But this argument is getting old. Let's get back to talking about how awful the vaccine is at preventing covid.

The biggest argument I would push there is that the potential of spreading it and causing major harm to a caregiver would directly harm the child.  Now that calculus certainly changes a bit with the decreased severity of Omicron, and is subject to individual situations (eg if grandparents are the kids primary caregiver, or if there's an immunocompromised sibling in the house etc etc)

Right, and that is the type of detail being discussed in the debates people are having here.  Other places in Europe have already been vaccinated 5-12 year olds anyway.  Not here.

btw - If there is a compromised person in the house then that is considered one of the exceptions (I think, need to check that).

Nice meme.  At the moment, Omnicron is relatively mild and predominant from what I'm reading, so that applies across the board.  I have an unvaccinated relative who tested positive a couple of days ago with cold like symptoms and already is recovered.

Alot of what we saw with this has been a s s backwards from what we've seen in the past.  Never saw a lockdown before where we quarantine the healthy.  Never saw vaccines forced on kids like this with such a risk of serious adverse consequences.  Never saw lack of discussion about treatment like this.  Seems like the Swedes have a leg up on the rest of the world with the way they're dealing with this situation.

Or we can go with the non reality bubble version of events and say your lack of reading comprehension inability to differentiate between statements and if clauses lead you to post some stupid sh** for the umpteenth time.

I think like any other place that Sweden has gotten some things right and others not so much.  The big disaster over here was not protecting the nursing homes in the initial wave.  Half of the COVID deaths here come from that singular failure.

Yes they are yes they are yes they are because cases have NEVER MATTERED.  EVER.  Not in the first wave and not in the next wave.  Testing is important for tracing and quarantine policy, but ultimately the goal is not preventing cases it is preventing deaths and hospitalizations.  At that, the vaccines are m'ther f'ing GREAT.  

 

I get really, really tired of swatting a kill into your face every time you lob this nonsense.  It's not even funny anymore.  The governement has a responsibility to its citizens to keep them from dying in a pandemic and counting and tracing cases is just a tool for the ultimate goal you f'ing NIMROD.

Really? tell that to the CDC and the administration, cases should not matter but they do to them

I'd consider it, but Mayanh8 would insist I be prosecuted for crossing state lines. Too risky.

Booster shot protection against symptomatic COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant appears to fade in about 10 weeks, according to new data from Britain.
