February 15, 20224 yr Massive abuses in basic civil liberties by governments all over the world and ishlibs are terrified to even address it because they know it's their side that's responsible.
February 15, 20224 yr Interesting article here. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/coronavirus/mexico-city-government-criticized-for-providing-ivermectin-to-treat-covid/ An excerpt: Quote The Mexico City government as well as the federally-run Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) announced last year that they had carried out a "quasi experimental” analysis that found that people who received the ivermectin distributed in the capital were 68% less likely to develop serious symptoms that required treatment in hospital. TLDR, Mexico City's government has been treating some Covid patients with Ivermectin among other drugs. They found it significantly reduced the need for hospitalization. Their mistake came when they posted the results of the study online drawing international criticism. Really can't make it up.
February 15, 20224 yr On 2/14/2022 at 10:47 AM, we_gotta_believe said: I'd be fine with a mask or vax requirement for schools. Because a few parents in Maryland keep complaining about the mask reqs in schools, the Department of Education had to make a press release reaffirming they already have plans to off-ramp masks in schools, if certain conditions are met: If at least 80 percent of the county population in the county where the schools are located is fully vaccinated, as reported by MDH. The local superintendent may lift the face covering requirement for a school facility or facilities after a principal or designated school official verifies that 80 percent of the school staff and students in the school facility have been fully vaccinated. The local superintendent may lift the face covering requirement in schools if the county has sustained 14 consecutive days of moderate or low transmission rate of COVID-19 cases, as reported by the CDC. I still don't get all the backlash about wearing masks when transmission is high. It's easy to do and it makes a difference.

Make it an N95 requirement or get rid of it.
February 15, 20224 yr As I mentioned Friday, my youngest's school announced the decision that masking was now optional. About a week before they had sent surveys to parents and staff asking our feelings about masks in the school. The results of that survey is what led to the decision to make the masks optional effective immediately. Here are the results of the survey: 91.7% of Staff support going "masks optional” 43.8% immediately 47.9% when the county mask mandate is lifted* 74.1% of parents support going "masks optional” 58.5% immediately 15.6% when the county mask mandate is lifted That's pretty overwhelming. Honestly, the percentage of the staff who voted for optional kind of surprised me. All of that said, those who think that it's only "a few parents" who are complaining and want the mask mandates ended in schools are lying to themselves, and being lied to by those who tell them such.

Sounds like the far woke left

I don't think anyone would presume money to be an issue here, but it's obviously going to affect what he can accomplish during his career if he's unable to compete in the biggest events. I'm sure he still wants to win more grand slams to solidify his legacy.

His career is literally to compete in tournaments. Sure seems like forgoing that is a far larger detriment to his career going forward. 35 minutes ago, The_Omega said: His stance is not that difficult to understand. His stance is stupid if he thinks anyone with any ounce of intelligence actually believes he's not anti-vax. He should just be honest and say he's more scared of the vaccine than of covid. Still a stupid stance but at least it's rooted in honesty. Seems like honesty isn't something he is really comfortable with though.

He's not, he's fine with anyone deciding to get vaxxed, he's just decided he's not going to get the Covid vax. He's pro choice. You're anti-choice and will throw out whatever misleading label you want to against anyone who disagrees with you.

February 15, 20224 yr He's a healthy young athlete that's already caught and recovered from Covid. Coronavirus poses absolutely zero threat to a guy like him. Plus, we already know that even being triple vaxxed has virtually zero bearing on whether you catch or transmit Covid, so it's really a completely retarded rule meant to be punitive towards people for thinking a certain way. There's absolutely no reason not to just allow him to present a negative test and compete, but almost none of the pandemic has been guided by science so why start now?
February 15, 20224 yr Ah the cognitive dissonance on both sides is just so predictable. The ATP and the Grand Slams are private organizations that can have whatever rules they want. If you don't want to follow the rules, then you can't compete. That goes for Novak not wanting to get vaccinated and Naomi Osaka not wanting to fulfill required press obligations. Left -- Osaka is being unfairly targeted, but Novak should shut up and get the shot Right -- Novak is being unfairly targeted, but Osaka should follow the rules of the tournament SPOILER ALERT -- both of them need to accept the rules of a private entity or not compete

I'm criticizing the policy itself. It's completely retarded for obvious reasons.
