    so you don't trust the developers. You don't trust the testers. You don't trust the reporting. But you trust your life to a guy who brags about being able to murder you in cold blood and get away with it?

    This sounds like a you problem.

    Are you suggesting I would support mandatory or coerced vaccinations if only Trump did?

    If so, what gave you that impression?

    TBC- I trust me with my life. I mistrust everyone and everything that would use force or coersion to get me to use any product or service, including Trump if he goes that route. I don't trust Trump tell me what medicine is safe, and so long as using a medicine remains my choice, I don't have to.

    Also, you didn't answer the question.

    First of all, no it isn't just a fact!! We don't actually know the mortality rate yet. We have a better idea today than we did a few months ago, but we can't say anything is "just a fact" about this disease at the moment. Is 1% a reasonable estimate? Sure. However, we simply don't have enough data yet to say that is a fact. It is too new.

    Secondly, you assert that the lockdown will do more damage with absolutely NO evidence. It is simply a Trump talking point. Of course we can't be under lockdown forever, but the idea that we need to open up immediately, because this disease isn't that serious, is absolutely absurd.

    Lastly, even if we accept your 1% death rate, that is extraordinarily high!! You are pretending, oh its just 1% of people, we can't shut down for that. That is insanity. The alternative is to try to reach herd immunity. If we do that in America, that means we would need 70-90% of people to get infected and gain immunity. If we need to reach 70% to get herd immunity and 1% of that 70% died, that would lead to 2.3 million deaths!! If we need to get to 90%, that would lead to about 3 million deaths. That is a catastrophe!! That is more deaths than in every war we've ever fought combined. If you think any response to that could be wildly disproportionate, short of mass murder or imprisonment, you don't understand what we are facing. Of course we can't stay closed until this passes. What we CAN do, is wear masks, keep physical distancing maintained, don't go out needlessly, and generally take this disease as seriously as it deserves to be taken.

    PS. Even if the mortality rate is .05%, it would still mean between 1-2 million deaths.

    And that won't work, because people aren't idiots. The economy isn't in dire straights because we had lockdown. It is in dire straights because are living through a pandemic. Most states in the country are reopened now and it hasn't led to some magical recovery. I wonder when people will wake up to the fact that the danger here is pandemic and opening up too early, not in opening up too slowly.

    PS. Trump can't eviscerate anyone in a debate. Biden does show possible signs of senility, but Trump at his height was an imbecile. On top of that, age has also not been kind to him. If you think he can eviscerate anyone not currently in a coma in a debate, you are living in a fantasy world.

    I'm not. You are
    You did.

    And the question has already been answered.
    IF a vaccine is developed AND
    IF it makes it through trials AND
    IF it makes into human trials AND
    If it makes it to submission AND
    If the data support that it is both safe and effective AND
    If it is approved
    Then and only then should it be made available.

    That is not a process that will be complete by August 2020.
    It is unlikely it is a process that will be complete in 2020

    And When "The Donald" steps out in front of the cameras in July and brags about the vaccine, like he bragged about taking HCQ, I, as I did with HCQ, invite all who believe in Trump to line up and take one for the grifter.

    BTW...I put up a poll here asking Trump followers if they intended taking HCQ as a preventative. Did not ask for names or explanations, just yes or no. Interestingly, not a one of you answered.

    Now, Mr "I trust no one with my life so I never drive in a car, get on a plane, walk outside my house, eat food I didn't grow..." , I never suggested the vaccine should be forced on everyone. That thought comes nowhere but from your Trump infected brain. I said children attending school should be required to take the vaccine BECAUSE they are the carriers who will bring the disease into the home where it will infect those who are susceptible to its effects. If you are not aware of this fact then you obviously never in your entire life raised a single kid. I've raised 5 and the semi-annual "kiddie-krud" is not a myth.

    You do support coercing it though, by mandating it in public schools. I suppose its nice that you don't want to tie people down and inject them as I can cite a few folks promoting on this board, but you still would effectively be punishing many for refusal by manufacturing a burden on those who would have trouble affording a private school to avoid vaccination of their children if they're unsatisified with its claimed effectiveness and/or safety.

    Umm

    Includes private schools.

    If someone insists on being anti-vaxx then home-school.

    No exceptions.

    Well, looks like you need a new crystal ball.

    BLOCKBUSTER JOBS REPORT
    [​IMG]The May jobs report came out today, and it shocked everyone. It shows nonfarm payrolls up by 2.5 million, and unemployment dropping to 13.3%. This compares with private forecasts, where the median prediction was 7.5 million jobs lost in May and an unemployment rate of 19.2 percent.

    What part of my post do you feel that this contradicts? In particular, the bold part makes it very clear, that if coronavirus is brought under control and the economy recovers, Trump will most likely be reelected. However, I am not sure how the news that we have now only lost 17.5 million jobs, as opposed to 20 million jobs, can be interpreted as a good thing.

    A lot of folks are making good money on unemployment with the extra ~$2600 a month that ends in July. They likely will not return to the workforce until August.

    The American People are amazing! Plague, Riots, Murder Hornets, and they just blast right through it with their native greatness.

    I called to make an appointment for an outpatient procedure and was told that I would be REQUIRED to get a COVID-19 test. I declined because there are some questions about the source of the tests and the possible transmission of the virus via the test.

    I know that President Trump said that the vaccine will NOT be mandatory, but it feels like it could come to that as more people refuse to be tested. It might be something like "Well, we have to vaccinate to ensure that you cannot infect others *in case* you have it." So, either we get prodded or poked. I hope it doesn't come to that.

    700,000 minimum deaths estimated world wide from whatever vaccine, according to Bill Gates. The latest experimental vaccine given to monkeys killed 20% of them

    So somewhere between 700,000, and 1.5 Billion people will die from the vaccine.

    To save 300k possible deaths from Covid 19 virus

    Uh... NO THANKs, Leftists. Inject yourselves if you want , in fact, imo , All Marxists and globalists everywhere should inject themselves as much as they like. And should remain off the streets.

    Well we sure don’t trust a guy who believes nearly 16% of Sweden’s population will die. :)

    :spin::spin::spin: And polar bears will be used to insert tiny drones into our kidneys. Then 76 trillion billion killion people will die from Bill Gates and George Soros personally injecting them with evil monkey poison to bring about the new world order. All this is very real, not paranoid at all.

    Who is the guy who does? Honestly, where do you people even come up with this stuff? Is there a place where fake statistics are invented or do you all just have a talent for making them up on the fly?

    Dude. It was the claim of the poster I responded to. I know, you say crazy stuff and expect people not to notice, but we do.

    You propably never had the flu.

    I had it once in 2017 and words cant describe it. I´m very fit and healthy. Within hours i went from normal to a state, where i could not walk up stairs anymore. Half a hour later i had to lay down on the floor and think myself if i can still crawl to the phone. My family and girlfriend were not at home.

    Its like it sucks out the life of you. When my girl arrived at home, she brought me tothe clinic.

    A Virus that can do this to a healthy young person is much more devastating to a sick or elderly person.

    Since then i get teh flu shot evry year.

    As for COVID 19, it must be mandatory that evryone who is not vaccinated can not travel

    How would that be enforced? Checkpoints everywhere with armed soldiers demanding 'vaccine papers, please'?

    The way we plan it in Germany. When entering Airport you have to show your vaccination papers. Same applies for tourists entering Germany. You have no vaccination you are either send back, or put into quarantine for 14 days.

    It applys for entire EU. Australia, New Zealand as well. Japan and South Korea plan the same procedure and Kanada will most likely follow.

    So where do you plan to travel?
