  1.  qui chi  Staffing is the pinch point. You can't just build up qualified staff in 2 years.

  2. You have to look closely, but the medical staff is double masking. It allows them to preserve the better mask and throw away the outside surgical mask.

  3. Dude - lots of smart people are trying to research it.

  4. Take the JNJ vaccine then. Or the NVAX one that will get approved soon.

  5. Look, it comes down to this. If you are uneducated and have zero scientific background, its much easier to understand conspiracy theories than the actual science. Understanding science is nearly impossible for lower educated people.

  6.  @karlperrault5930  Bullshit. Einstein had trouble understanding quantum mechanics. Fucking Einstein.

  7.  @karlperrault5930  I consider myself well educated (no advanced degrees). Both of my parents had Masters degrees (non-science). I have educated myself about mRNA vaccines and its a struggle for me to understand fully since I have only a 9th grade biology class education. It's nearly impossible to dissect if you don't have an advanced biology background.

  8. I feel bad... for the doctors and nurses.

  10.  @FreakMeat74  Even using the term "inventor" of mRNA vaccines is inaccurate. Thanks.

  11.  @susettehorspool2646  NVAX is piggybacking on the HepB methodology of vaccines. Coming out of trials soon.

  12.  @FreakMeat74  Falsus in uno falsus in omnibus. If the dude is going to use a “stretched truth” self title about himself, that gives me pause immediately about what follows.

  13.  @FreakMeat74  Dude - they ran massive trials with a huge population. Its the exact definition of unbiased if you understand how to read the data. Regardless, I can see why people might be hesitant of the mRNA vaccines. No real long term analysis done. But, the JNJ vaccine is using tried and trued methodologies for decades. There should be no hesitancy in taking that vaccine.

  14.  @FreakMeat74  Dude - our life expectancy has doubled in nearly 100 years. That's due to modern medicine. Would you like to live in the 1800s? I don't think so. Every industry has its faults, but this is one time where big pharma has the best intentions.

  15.  @FreakMeat74  PFE is making 20-30% margins on the vaccine. They aren't gouging us. JNJ stated they aren't making a profit on the vaccine currently - possibly in the future. MRK failed on their vaccine. SNF GSK are still in trials (earlier results sucked). BNTX MRNA had no real revenue stream before this. It's a big deal to them. (I'm a big pharma hater too. Some of the drug prices are outrageous and is jacking up healthcare prices for all of us.)

  16.  @FreakMeat74  Dude - give some recent examples of fuckery. I'll give you one: opioids. There is always a fine line of companies trying to make money and a company spinning the effectiveness of their drugs. And, then there is flat lying. IMO, this isn't that type of situation. Being a skeptic initially is ok about stuff, but being a skeptic about everything isn't always prudent. Focusing entirely on the missteps of the industry isn't totally fair either. There have been major successes.

  17.  @FreakMeat74  I don't disagree with you. But, our system that we have adopted is a capitalist society. Even with its faults, objectively our system turned out better than the Russians (obviously not perfect). In general, I am not a fan of all the things you listed. I'd prefer smaller competitive businesses than a huge few. But, many times I don't follow through. * Is big tech bad? Likely, but life pre-internet was pretty annoying * Are huge chemical companies irresponsible? Probably, but I also enjoy using teflon frying pans * Are there downsides of corporate farming? Tons, but we all benefit from lower food prices * Is it bad for our economy that manufacturing moved offshore? Yes, but I buy cars from foreign companies Back to our main point: HIV was a death sentence 40 years ago. Hep C is very treatable and curable now. Hep B cases are down 90% since the 1980s. The system does work (at times).

  18.  @FreakMeat74  Technically, no one is forcing you get the vaccine. Depending on where you live and work, employers and private businesses may and can put vaccine requirements. This is based off a 1905 Supreme Court case. I'd imagine it will be an extreme inconvenience if you don't get the vaccine (depending on your location). Not sure what school you attended, but my public schools required us to get vaccine shots as did my public 4 year Uni.

  19. Dude - that's a whole different set of doctors. These are critical care doctors. They don't see regular patients.
