I guess just by standing for nothing other than anarchy and peddling anger politics?

It is a COVID thread but it doesn't have anything to do with what I posted. Nor does the $700,000 have anything to do with nearly 3/4 of million deaths from COVID in the US. Actually keeping your eye on the ball would be to get vaxxed, encourage others to get vaxxed and stop the carnage. But you do you.

Ok... Still not following the connection with 700,000 deaths of your fellow Americans. Let's keep the eye on the ball here.

Go ahead. Explain the connection. I'm down for a good conspiracy theory right now.

700,000 dead Americans and counting. 700,000 Where'd you get the parameters that state a virus with a death rate of 1 to 2 % is acceptable?

This could be the most tone deaf take I've seen in ages. 700,000 dead and counting. Can you not wrap your head around that death toll? That's a brutal number and you're saying "meh"? That number also does not include the permanently maimed with a horrible quality of life nor does it include the continued economic impact, world wide of allowing this virus to multiple and mutate. Thank God we have the vaccines. What would be the death toll had the Delta variant arrived in full force before our vaccines were available, especially for our most at risk? But yeah, old people.

In a setting where 100% are vaccinated, and 2 people out of a hundred had breakthrough cases, what percentage of the vaccinated would account for those cases? Would it be 100%? Does that mean vaccines don't work? In the cases of the Harvard business school do you know if the 5% of the unvaxxed were the initial source? How many breakthrough cases are we talking about vs total population of the school? What would be the case numbers if no one was vaccinated?

Got it. There is however every bit as much data on the safety of the vaccines as there is on immunity due to prior infection. There's also a lot of indications that a person who had covid before and later is vaccinated will possibly have immunity for years. Possibly life long. Then there's the issue of administering the claims of those who state they have had Covid before. Is there a standard? Does an antibody test suffice? I'm sure there'd be every bit the amount of pushback if this was required proof of immunity. The goalposts will just move. I just think so many people are out-thinking this. Get the vaxx. It's that simple.

Dang, I was hopingng that it meant all three units, offense, defense, and special teams were going to show up Saturday.

All about me thinking. I guess he doesn't get the part about the unvaccinated spreading the virus. So we continue on filling body bags. Very responsible position to take.

Our generation doesn't have the will or intelligence to do this. They just whine about "muh freedoms" and worry about nanobots.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/09/28/milley-china-congress-hearing-514488 Do you have any evidence that General Milley went rogue? I haven't seen the likes of Pompei, Rubio, Cruz, Hawley, Gym Jordan, etc. present any either.

Exactly. If the booster is safe for our most at risk, logic would tell you it's also safe for the rest of the population. But somehow allowing more people access to a booster based on their own situation is conspiratorial

I say they all should go for it. ICUs are way overated. Who doesn't have better homeopathic treatments right at home?

First things first. We need to win the West. Without doing that consistently we aren't going to recruit the type of classes you're talking about. If we developed at an equal level to our recruiting rankings how many West titles would we have won? We've consistently underperformed our recruiting rankings. Get the development and execution details fixed then this thing has a chance to snowball into a program where top recruits want to play again.

I would have just loved to see the option one more time in that series. I think we ran it once but it looked like it was a predetermined keeper due to the turnover chance. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong drive. But the option has been virtually unstoppable up until now. It's been far more efficient then the QB draw we run every time it's late in the game and third and less than 5 or 6. Play to win. Execute and we run out the clock. Oh well, get it right this week and then the Michigan game becomes another do or die in the tenure of Frost.

Gives me the chills as I look out at my weed patch I call a lawn and has the neighbors on speed dial to the Nuisance Officer. Then I say "f#&% it" and watch my Lions lose (again) on an NFL record 66 yard field. Years in the desert with that team. These Husker bandwagoners don't have a clue of the futility.

We have the tools. We just don't have the intelligence to do it.

Ok, specifically what I said in my post. To clarify, the democratic institution of free and fair elections. He's clearly carrying out a disinformation campaign in order to justify overturning future elections. Do you agree or not agree that this is the case? If not, why not? If so, how do you see a solution out of this looming constitutional crisis?

Obviously I can't stand the guy. He's a whiny, petulant wannabe dictator. But I digress. I'm really curious to hear from you whether or not you think he and his followers are damaging not only the Republican Party but our democratic institutions? His continual refusal to accept the 2020 results and flat out lying, to this day, that our election was compromised is a textbook disinformation campaign to sew doubt and justify nullifying the next election. Include the harassment of election officials and the placement of Trump loyalists in those positions and future fair elections are in peril. That's dangerous to all of us, including those who support this effort. You know this We all ought to be fighting against this effort but it seems a large majority of Republicans are good with it and the Democrats are impotent as usual.

I believe it. That's why we're at 700,000 dead in the US.

I think we all would like to know that. But informants are not agents. They're not held to the agency's standards. You deal with some really dirty people in intelligence. If an informant went rogue and instigated others that doesn't mean the FBI was complicit. Or of course it could have been Trump loyalists in the FBI that were involved.
