  1. Can you site your source for this? I’m not saying it’s wrong but it doesn’t match the reality that most of us experienced. It sounds very much like an "official US government" spin on the facts. I honestly would appreciate being educated if I’m wrong, but it seems like the arrival and release of the vaccine was severely delayed because of a flat footed and completely uncoordinated response by the FDA, the CDC and the US Department of Health and Human Services. Quite frankly, it’s a been public health and public relations disaster.
  2. I’m not so sure I’m buying it, but I’m glad he’s recovering.

    Aspen

    My favorite Aspen video. Funny as fuck and sexy as fuck. https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5fe23bd6753f8#1
  4. It worked for me. Thank you for sharing.
  5. Unfortunately, lots of people get triggered by specific words. My advice? It’s just a word, don’t give it the power to be anything more than that.
  6. "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul." It’s true for everyone. Unfortunately for Heche, it was true for her as well.
  7. Holy crap!….you’ve invented a new word. Yes.
  8. He still doesn’t get it….but at least he’s trying. https://rentmen.eu/PapiGiovannixl https://rentmen.eu/CubaSexy https://rentmen.eu/Latino_Master Guy_CL…..sorry, I couldn’t find this one.
  9. I’d give them to him…and then laugh at him mercilessly when he wore them. "I didn’t think you were ever going to WEAR them"…lol. grin.
  10. I would only hire someone who has gotten their 1st shot at least 4 weeks ago. I’d prefer 2 weeks after 2nd shot, but that prospect is looking dimmer everyday.
  11. I’m sure @SirBillybob will provide a much more nuanced answer, but the 1/5 intradermal shot seems to be using the similar guessing game that was used to support the subcutaneous full dose shots. They looked at the immune responses (which are "similar") and they’re betting (based on "weak but ok" science) that that response is "good enough" based on extrapolated data from the immune response and protection seen in older vaccines. For the record, thats a lot of educated guessing and extrapolations for a new and unproven medical therapy. It’s not great, but I applaud them for thinking "outside the box". Of course, we wouldn’t be in this position in the first place if they hadn’t fumbled the ball in the 1st quarter of the game, but here we are. If it works (and that’s a big if) then we can hopefully avoid the painfully obvious shortage that’s coming soon, where only about 1/4th of the at risk population is vaccinated, and we’re completely out of vaccine. At the end of the day, given the shit hole were in, I think it’s the right call.
  12. Just curious, what decade was this? I’m not being snarky. It’s an honest question to further my knowledge.
  13. Please sight your miraculous treatments. I suspect you may be eligible for the next Noble Prize in Medicine. Let me quote UpToDate, a widely respected online medical text: "Treatment of poliomyelitis is supportive". Which is medical talk for: Feed, water, and turn them. Intubate them when you have to. Nothing you do is going to make the disease better or worse. "There are no approved antiviral therapies for poliomyelitis." True today, and certainly true in FDR’s time. The Noble committee eagerly awaits your response……
  14. Lord child, do not make us work….. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Diego_Flórez He’s no Pavarotti, but he’s certainly easier on the eyes.
  15. There is no treatment for polio. So it doesn’t really matter if FDR’s doctors got the diagnosis right or wrong. The outcome would have been the same.
  16. I was surprised that I found almost every single "older man" picture more attractive than his "younger" portrait.
  17. She was amazing. When I was a late teen, my best female friend started dating my best male friend. I was crushed, and at a loss to explain to the straight world why I was so devastated. Everyone assumed I was secretly in love with the female. In fact, it was the guy. Then late at night I was riding with an older male co-worker to make the midnight deposit at the bank. He saw how distraught I was, and said, "don’t worry, I know what you’re going through". Then he popped ONJ’s Soul Kiss tape into the cassette player and played "Culture Shock". We never talked about it, but his act of kindness meant the world to me. Her music got me through that, and many other of life’s traumas. Thank you Dame Newton-John. RIP.
  18. Those tests are not admissible in court since there is no "chain of custody" maintained in the hospital. Just FYI.
  19. The devil is in the details…. While what you said is factually true, you can withdrawal your "implied consent" at anytime. So in reality the police can’t draw your blood without your consent at the time of the blood draw, or failing that, a court order. The moment you refuse however, you will automatically loose your license to drive in that state, since you have withdrawn your "implied consent" which was part of your agreement to obtain a license. In general, they will only go to the trouble of getting a court order if the case involves a vehicular homicide charge. Otherwise, they’re just happy to take your license and call it a day. If you kill someone while driving drunk, I suggest you refuse to have your blood drawn until they get a court order. It usually takes an hour or so to find and wake up the judge. If you’re lucky your blood alcohol will drop below the legal limit. If they nail you with a DWI vehicular homicide, your not gonna care about wether or not you have a drivers license for several years anyways, so it’s worth the gamble. If it’s a plain old DWI charge, it’s a toss up. If seen people refuse and beat the charge, despite video footage of them obviously plastered. And they got their license back. Totally insane but it true. Best advice is to always have your lawyer on speed dial and don’t say ANYTHING until you speak to your lawyer. Let me repeat….do not say ANYTHING. Not even "Hello, officer". Keep your fucking mouth shut.
  20. Villa all the way. I hate boats, and groups on boats are the worst of the worst. It takes a very special group, with each and every individual madly in love with boating life, to make it work. If you held a gun to my head and made me go, I’ve pick a cruise along the Southwestern Turkish coast on a Gulet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulet
  21. That’s so cute when the one guy asks for clarification. "You want me to slap you???" And then delivers the softest "slap" imaginable.
  22. From the TMZ article: "We're told her condition prevents doctors from performing any tests to determine if she was driving under the influence of alcohol." That’s one of the stupidest sentences I’ve ever read.
  23. First 48 hours ice and elevate (Slow down the inflammation) After that, heat and gently start using again (Speed up the healing). I don’t think there any real science behind that though. Personally, I always do which ever one feels better, and for me that’s usually ice and elevate.
  24. I don’t disagree. I believe most of the speculation that frames B-E is from data on the older vaccine, cross referenced with antibody titers seen after vaccination with the new vaccine. Also known as a wild fucking guess, but it’s the best we’ve got at the moment since there are no large "real life" trials of the new vaccine against Monkey Pox in humans that I’m aware of. So yes, ”A" is the best answer. You’re cute when you get defensive. In all honesty, it was meant as a compliment. You’re wicked smart, it’s just hard for lay people to understand some of the graphs and charts you post.
