2026-09-16T14:08:29Z

Most of the time the shoehorn theory promoted by establishment Democrats to attack leftists is faulty as they back 90% of the Republican agenda. The left & right do sometimes agree on opposing the wars & attacks on civil liberties from the duopoly parties. Centrists attacking this is further evidence of the problems with centrists, not the left.

The vaccine reduces severe disease by just over 50% and does even less to stop transmission or long term consequences. We cannot eliminate the virus with vaccines alone. Vaccines should be just one modality in a multi pronged approach

quoting
note1axm…v2qx

It another "trivial" virus that remarkably has serious long term consequences that policy makers ignore. In this case we have a safe effective vaccine so elimination locally is possible and desireable.
I'm glad I'm immunosupressed so get vaccinated in UK, though watching my wife getting recurrent doses, breaks my heart. It'll be put down to her age...

Many people love their current insurance until they need it & have claims denied, until they want to leave their current job, or they lose their insurance because they are too sick to work. They also love it less when they realize that they could be paying a lot less for better coverage. We need Medicare for All

Abdul El-Sayed believes in separation of church and state and has no desire to impose sharia law. Mike Rogers actually voted when in the House to impose his religious views on others in restricting reproductive rights.

As for Harris, she supported genocide. She praised Dick Cheney, campaigned with a Cheney, bragged about the lethality of the US military and spoke about Iran being our greatest threat. This is a war which was planned before Trump returned to office. As with other recent wars, it is part of a bipartisan policy.
