    I cannot remember if I got an oral or shot Polio vaccine. I think the oral has a slight problem with possible contagion of the weakened viruses. I caused very, very few deaths among parents, but very few is more than zero, so we no longer use it.
    My kids got the oral one as well. I remember the outbreaks as a kid; we weren't allowed to go shopping with mom or to public swimming pools or to birthday parties, off and on. Went to school with a couple different kids who had had it. One had a weak, withered arm, the other walked with leg braces and canes. I also have a vague recollection of a kid who died from tetanus, but because of the nature of the memory I don't trust it -- it could have just been something a parental unit said to scare us. lol

    When you can recall things like that in your own relatively-short lifetime, it makes it hard to understand the fools who reject vaccines as "poison" or whatever stupid excuses they come up with.

    How hilariously true.

    Personally I'm willing to get the vaccine once tested for efficacy and available. That being said, it's quite within the realm of possibility that we'll need to have a booster every so often. It appears that our antibody protection wanes with time. As Phantasmal mentioned yesterday, Tom Hanks has reported that he's had his antibody levels checked and they have decreased significantly from what they originally were.

    We will get this under control eventually. Unfortunately because of covidiots, it is going to take longer than it should and we are going to pay a high price in morbidity and mortality, as well as economically.

    They cherry pick with the hotspots lol.

    Right now it’s TX and FL. Each one is a ‘pending disaster’ and when it doesn’t materialize they forget it happened and move onto the next one.

    You think Florida is 'pending'? Texas is 'pending'? Arizona is 'pending' Seriously? What's your criteria for no longer pending. Give me some specifics.

    Stretch fancies herself a medical expert. Just look at those long, erudite cut-and-pasties.

    Seriously, if you listen to her, you won't get the 'rona as long as you dose yourselves with plenty of vitamins, charcoal, zinc, eye of newt, and the tears of a purple fairy.

    I guess we'll get his attention after a few thousand more people die in Florida. Too late.

    11,400 new cases in Florida, and 93 deaths. 426 new hospitalizations, the largest single day increase since the pandemic started. So who wants to say everything is fine here? Can't want for Disney World to open tomorrow. That seems like a great idea, doesn't it? Lots of folks can come here for a visit and spread the disease to their home states. Brilliant.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    It's not a pending disaster when you're consistently setting new disastrous records each day.
