Thankfully, I've got several of the most extreme posters on ignore here, and I am missing 90% of the trash-talking, disinformation and conspiracies, which I catch only occasionally when it's quoted. Not really sure why I comment at all to be honest. The people in la-la land will never change their delusions, and those who deal primarily in anger and ad hominem attacks will never become civil or thoughtful, I think they've pretty well established that by now. There are some reasonable people here too but there is a great deal of toxic churn, which is pretty pointless to engage with. Like BostonMike, I think I am going to check out for awhile.

City-data is definitely a big waste of time, but if there isn't a consistent response to the anti-vaccine disinformation it becomes the narrative.

Actually it says resigned or fired. And the fired don't have a case as Texas courts upheld the hospital could mandate the vaccine.

No. The vaccine effectiveness does decrease but slowly. Reports show that it should be good for a year. The issue is that variants render the vaccine less effective but the good news is that even at the lower effectiveness, it can still reduce the need for hospitalization should a break through case occur.

Lies? The USA is obviously more diverse. Higher diversity means it can be harder to solve immunization.

Beta makes? You know alpha male isn't a real thing right?

As for borders planes can fly over walls. Most illegals are those with expired visas. The east way to get rid of the ones you are referring to is to deny benefits or make it very hard.

They aren't terms that I generally use, nor would I identify as either. They are very much real in that they are words that are used to connote certain types of men, and so Beta would connote the opposite of Alpha. They're about as real as any of the other concocted terms made up by any number of identity and gender merchants. We can discuss illegal migration all day (on another forum) but that doesn't change the fact that there are currently thousands of people unlawfully crossing the border with no health screening and making their way to all interior parts of the nation.

Why should anyone believe either of these two claims you're making now, when a few pages back you claimed Sweden was "95% Swedish," when it clearly isn't, and anyone can find that information in a few seconds on the internet?

there are police officers who do not want to get vaccinated. over 20 percent of Seattle police force may be fired if they do not get the vaccine.....

here is the proof...

looks like I am not that out of touch with reality.

covid compliance is more important than even having a working police force. you will comply!! its not about safety and health measures when illegals come here with the virus. it's conditioning the American people that covid restrictions are here to stay even if businesses go under or people die from the vaccine. illegals do not have to get the vaccine because they vote democrat. biden will stomp you with his authoritarian boot!! you are human garbage to him! lick the boots slaves.

Always in the wings ready to insult those with opinions that disrupt your ongoing narrative. Well here are some in return. Pointing out the sheer hypocrisy in the policies doesn't make someone an anti-illegal immigration zealot. That said, if you think thousands of unknown people pouring into the country (many dying and becoming the victims of traffickers) makes sound public policy even outside COVID, you probably have your head somewhere the sun doesn't shine and are living in the land of oz. But feel free to continue eating your wine and cheese while others die needlessly because we aren't doing what every other nation on earth does in enforcing borders. This sort of thing is certainly in line with your corporate suck-up attitudes and enhances the availability of cheap slave labor - just what they want.
