Or I could just wait until the next election and then decide if I should go out to eat or not.

Yes, I suggest you do just that.  You'll be able to think more clearly (well, as clear as is possible for you).

I still get takeout also because of a kid at home that is too young to get vaccinated. We have enough options within driving distance to get it and bring it home. Also lots of food truck nearby for variety. We made an exception on vacation several weeks ago and dined inside for the first time since March 2020. But I don't think we'll do it again anytime soon with delta numbers still climbing.

The vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting COVID. It is supposed to suppress the symptoms.

I don't think anyone can accuse me of being an anti-vaxer... but I do think we may need to consider the possibility that they aren't as effective as we had hoped. As KZ alluded to, Israel is getting hammered, and it's the second most vaccinated nation on earth. The most vaccinated is Iceland, over 90%, and they're getting hammered as well. Both of these countries are "ahead" of us on the timeline as far as vaccination rates, and as such might be providing a window into our future.

It actually does prevent you from getting covid. Its not 100% effective, but its still over 90% effective.

That fool is worse than KZ don't even bother

Vaccines work, masks are theatre, mandate vaccines and make the unvaxxed outcasts. Cases are nowhere near the peak here thanks to vaccines. At the peak over 7,000 cases per day, now around 1300 and falling in the last week from a high of around 2000, virus is over for vaxxed, the unvaxxed will perish, good riddance

Hospital was "out of options?”  Clearly they didn’t try horse dewormer. 

They probably didn't give him a bleach enema, either.

Let me know if you end up needing someone to take over his team.  :whistle:

Hope Albert pulls through.

Maybe locking kids in their homes with Netflix and videogames for a year wasn't the answer? Just thinking out loud here.

Go outside and play until the street light comes on.  If a parent was too dumb or woke to keep them inside then they deserve to raise a POS.  

I didn’t know you Brazilian.  BTW.  You’re not supposed to shove it up your arse, Thailor.  

Wasn't my ass. Intra-dermal UV light maybe?

A group of people and I were talking about fiber being healthy and all that nonsense then someone said why do people assume if you don't eat fiber you are an American

I said because fiber is a very important part of a healthy diet and keeping weight off. We are the fatest fat **** country in the world put 2+2 together lol. 

Then the next guy says Americans need to eat vegetables and quit it with all the cheese lol.

Rand Paul is a Quack and totally insane. 
 
Business Insider

Rand Paul says scientists won't study horse-deworming drug ivermectin's use as a potential COVID cure because of their 'hatred for Trump'

I’m sorry what?

This story is just ridiculous:

An Ohio judge orders that a patient in the hospital must be treated with ivermectin. Only the judge has no license to administer medicine, a doctor that ordered it obviously does not have hospital rights... So how are they supposed to get this snake oil into the patient?

I mean, ivermectin is actually prescribed as a human drug as well. It's not JUST used in animal dewormers, it has legitimate applications in humans. And the preliminary studies are mixed but some show positives, so there ARE actual studies ongoing (despite Rand's nonsense politicking)

Based on conflicting evidence I'd say it's unlikely to be effective at least at late stages. The possible exception is using ivermectin early MAY be helpful for the immune system in some way.

The above IMHO falls into a right to try kind of scenario. There's a remote but non-zero chance it may help, this guy in Cincy is basically on his deathbed and the doctor wants to try. Seems to me if the guy signs a waiver that it's not the worst thing. 

I'm not endorsing the general idea. But the headline is misleading.
