    Back to work Vax status

    If there was a way for you to be vaccinated at work but not vaccinated off work it would be a different story, but there's not. A vaccine mandate is about you being at work, just like every other work safety precaution. It's not my employer's job to make sure I'm not breaking the law on my own...

    Back to work Vax status

    Every company I've ever worked for mandated the use of seatbelts, as well as other safety equipment and safe practices. All of them have implemented drug testing as well, despite it being my own personal choice whether I smoke a joint in my off hours or even shoot heroin on vacation. Decisions...

    2022 guns or gun projects

    1. Figure out if I can get the encore 1:12 .223 to shoot a load I like well. 2. Finally decide ona "rook rifle" barrel for the contender. Something like a .32 Mag, still waffling barrels. 3. Shoot the piss out of the Sig Cross and get dopes absolutely nailed down. 4. Experiment with the .30-30...

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    Why? If you put the mask on, and then it gets crud on the outside (or on the inside, if you're unknowingly infected) and then you take it off you run the risk of disturbing whatever is collected on it. Then when you put it back on, you run the risk of transfer. That's why the paper masks are...

    NKOTB: .30 Super Carry

    www.federalpremium.com/30supercarry.html Now look I can already hear the grousing. It doesn't start with .4, it's not more powaaaaahhhh, it doesn't penetrate that IIIA armor your elk and bears are wearing, it doesn't make your peepee bigger or guarantee that you'll start farting loudly in the...

    Going crazy trying to pick a rifle

    Check out the Encore hobbit rifles thread. Light, .308, simple, plenty accurate, compact, fits the bill. One of us. One of us.

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    There's a lot of places I might go for medical advice, but an op-ed by a financial analyst is probably not it. Even if you take his math as sound, 0.2% mortality, that's a 1:500 chance. Would you buy a case of ammo if one in 500 rounds might kill you? For fun, i looked for any previous stuff by...

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    No, not just like it does in the unvaccinated. A leaky gasoline pump and the BP Horizon disaster both leaked petrochemicals into the water supply but nobody would honestly try to argue that they're the same or have the same effect.

    He said "as much" literally in the preceding sentence but keep going, you'll fool someone. Zeroing in on a sentence to the point of intentionally excluding the preceding sentence in order to derive a different meaning is cherry picking. Ignoring the entire body of the interview to focus on...

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/variant-classifications.html#anchor_1632237683347 They have a nice chart. Variants are named and added to the "variants being monitored" list when they occur in enough number to merit closer inspection, variants of concern. That list starts...

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    "We observed that obese people are likely to have worse outcomes" is different than "losing weight will protect you against hospitalization." The first result I linked regarding the outcomes for overweight people hospitalized (better outcomes., pre-COVID) illustrates that. We don't need a...

    that's not what he said though. Once again, this is an exercise in "clip out only the words convenient for me." "And I think we're seeing that now across the U.S., in places where there are good vaccination rates, you're seeing that the virus isn't spreading as easily. It's only spreading in...

    Hey, look it's one of those people who wants to impose their will on others. No doctor is prescribing hormone therapy for 6 year olds. That's the new "same sex marriage is a slippery slope to bestiality." It's super transparent that as soon as the religious right lost the ability to impose...

    Pfizer clinical trial data: not good at all

    No, the point was that the correlation between obesity and hospital admission does not indicate that losing weight protects one against hospitalization. To begin to make that assertion you would need to control for vaccination status, because people who are unvaccinated are also more likely to...

    Once again, sometimes "common sense" fails us, especially if we're only looking at one datapoint. You've probably heard of thisphenomenon already, the outlandish example is the correlation between ice cream sales and shark attacks, or Nick Cage movies and spree shootings...

    I'm glad you provided a link. To clarify, that's a news article about the study, not the study itself, but it's still helpful because it contains a piece of information you missed. From the article you linked: "The researchers also found that people who had SARS-CoV-2 previously and received...

    Whats the evidence for post-infection immunity being "better" than the vaccine? Can you source where Numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5 are confirmed? Where did you learn these facts and how did you assess their accuracy? Number 2 is true, but leaves out that the unvaccinated are still infected and...

    By what authority are you claiming that we need a landmark study to change a recommendation on best practices? Who made that a rule? I'm not a doctor, but I don't think I've ever heard that claim before. Sure. We could start with the people who intentionally delayed the federal response, such...
