Not sure this comment was understood... Maybe I stated it poorly.. My point was that it is objected to on religious grounds and moral grounds by those who do object.

Yes, why do people think that? Getting a measles shot doesn't give you the measles.

Yes this is what is frustrating... That many of us are willing to get the vaccine because we know that the more people who get it, the better the chance of eradicating it. Yet while we are willing to do it for the common good, many of the people we hope to protect, will not do it themselves.

Woohoo! I use to live in Hudson :)

I would think they would have developed a vaccine before unleashing it.

I completely understand. The government hasn't done a great job in helping us understand the ramifications and your doubts are justified.. Just be aware that if you get the shot and you do get Covid-19, you will likely survive it and your symptoms would be less severe. My daughter got the first...

My body, my choice - seems to me I've heard that on another issue.

Ok well. my thanks to those who got the shot or will soon. My prayers to those who didn't or don't want to. I hope I didn't offend - I am a researcher by trade so if my pushing of facts was annoying, I apologize. Hope everyone has a great night. Let our discussions tomorrow be less foul and more...

DOH! Well, didn't work, so fire that guy! :D

Great post.

And morally, to be fair.

Well, unleashing a flu or disease on a population, with no control over where it spreads or who gets it, seems like a ridiculously risky prospect that no government would embark on. Common sense would show this would be neither effective nor sane. I know of no government that would unleash a...

I believe that women or couples were afraid to take the chance of having girls. It skewed China's gender ratio because people preferred to abort or abandon their female babies. Women/couples were afraid to take the chance on having a girl. So fewer couples were getting pregnant.

(May 2021) According to a study conducted by the CDC in Kansas, following Gov. Laura Kelly's July mask mandate on a county-by-county basis, the 24 counties with mandatory mask mandates saw an overall decrease in COVID-19 cases, while the 81 counties that opted out of the mask mandate continued...

This was my entry for our town's annual Halloween Scarecrow Contest:

Ok no problem, that's fair. IMO thinking that China would start a pandemic to kill off their elderly people is to not know China. Honestly, they wouldn't do it any more than we would.

Oh, stop it with your facts. :)

It spread far and fast, but it isn't a pandemic? pan·dem·ic : (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world. If it happened naturally it wouldn't spread far and fast? The 1918 pandemic spread surprisingly quickly, reaching London by June of 1918- just weeks after the presumed start...

I think Worldwide is as wide as it gets.

The one-child policy has had three important consequences for China' - it reduced the fertility rate considerably -it skewed China's gender ratio because people preferred to abort or abandon their female babies -resulted in a labor shortage Even after the one-child policy was rescinded...
