    According to the science it is likely you have antibodies. It is not certain that you are now immune to the virus.

    You're looking for 100% in an imperfect world. The Science isn't like that.

    Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and liberals trying to tell us how to live.

    I am not looking for 100%. I am pointing out that your claim is not 100%. It's you that is avoiding the science.

    You forgot to include "Conservatives making idiotic unscientific claims while claiming they are following science."

    Thanks for being honest that you outsource your thinking to "the powers that be" since you are incapable of thinking for yourself.

    Yes, I believe that Floyd died of a drug overdose.

    Yes, they are not a problem because there is no such thing as a "greehouse gas"; it is just a buzzword.

    Yes, the 2nd Amendment has no limitations. You can read it for yourself.
    That the justice system is equitable
    Parts of it are... other parts of it have been compromised by leftist ideologues

    Just look at the sources they routinely reference. Extreme right wing, fabricated, propaganda sites.
    I don't appeal to "holy links" to do my thinking for me; I make up my own arguments.

    You are the one who is insisting that The Science be 100% perfect. Obviously you are not educated in The Sciences.

    The fact remains questions are questions and those who dodge them have a motive for doing so. I'm always curious about human motives for doing things and am curious about yours. Think of it as a compliment.

    I see your posts as just more creepy fishing for personal information.

    Another example of your inability to follow linear thought. You are free to claim Noah built a boat large enough to hold all the animals of the Earth and survive for 40 days at sea, but forcing me to believe so would be telling me how to live. Likewise, your LW counterparts pushing you to believe the State knows what is best for you are seeking to force their beliefs upon yours.

    Here's the problem for most Americans: Both positions are nutty and anti-American. So what do most Americans do? For one thing, most become Independents because the two largest political parties in the United States continue to put party agendas ahead of the Constitution. I suspect a large number of their members are just confused and choosing "the lesser of two evils". They are operating on emotion, not logic. Fear, not calculation.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Of course you do. It's a very convenient excuse for you. No doubt you've spent your entire life making such claims against any with whom you disagree.
