For some reason I don't get that jokeView attachment 93628
Probably headed for a Gavin Newsom fundraiser now that Larry Elder has entered the race.

Judging from the protests I saw in Paris a few weeks ago, your implication that it's only about 'Americans' is just .... totally mistaken.Why are Americans so reluctant to have the Covid vaccine?

Already got the first.Take your Pfizer jab, Xanax, and your government check and obey everything![]()
The pundits at Fox News have actually made a good point in living with Covid. It's not going away, so we need to place greater emphasis on the development and use of therapeutics.
Rolling Stone is a muck-raking anti-conservative fake news outlet, so they will dive into any sewer that they can find to manufacture a theme to attack conservatives. The Stone's article lied and conveniently neglected to mention that: "Ivermectin is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antiparasitic drug that is used to treat several neglected tropical diseases, including onchocerciasis, helminthiases, and scabies. It is also being evaluated for its potential to reduce the rate of malaria transmission by killing mosquitoes that feed on treated humans and livestock."![]()

Sounds like they don't even want to try to find alternatives. What are they so afraid of? You would think they would be trying, turning over every stone.. but every time someone suggests a possibility, they seem awfully trigger-happy to shut it down as fast as they possibly can. That doesn't seem at all like science to me? That sounds like a theology.![]()

Pat, as long as you realize that NO vaccine is a true preventative to any disease, you can say that. The current vaccines merely alter the odds of you getting a nasty case of the COVID-19 virus. If you DO get the virus, you have better odds of surviving it. But I'll take odds-changers any day given how many people my wife and I know personally who have had COVID-19 and how many people we know who have lost their loved ones to COVID-19.As long as you are aware that taking the vaccine doesn't actually protect you from getting the virus or spreading it to your family.
One drug, one disease. This is how we traditionally think about pharmaceutical drugs, but many of them are actually effective for more than one disease. Take the drug gabapentin, originally developed for treating epilepsia, but today commonly prescribed as a pain killer. Now a research team has used novel big data analytics methods to trawl through massive pharmaceutical data, looking for drugs having a high potential to be what the scientists call "repurposable".
The most commonly investigated treatments include hydroxychloroquine, plasma-based therapies, lopinavir-ritonavir and azithromycin. The FDA also granted emergency use authorization to remdesivir (GS-5734, Gilead) for treatment of patients with suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, based on its ability to shorten time to recovery.
Drug repurposing — the use of approved or investigational drugs to treat or prevent diseases outside the scope of their original medical indication — has been an effective strategy against rare diseases and is an active area of investigation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Educate me Doc, cuz this caught my attention. Don't most of the basic, immunizations given in this country actually DO prevent a disease? Not just make it "a bit better" ? Are there a lot of smallpox sufferers out there that just isn't publicized? (not snarky...i don't know)Pat, as long as you realize that NO vaccine is a true preventative to any disease, you can say that.
