  1.  @jons4170  Yes, I saw it. Why can't our CDC and other public health admit they are not omniscient? Their bullying is a disgrace.

  2. France has been for months. See Aude Lancelin's channel Quartier General.

  3. It is a form of immunotherapy, which up until now has been used, in general, as therapy, not as a mass vaccination technology. They did a good job with it as far as it goes -- it was a tough bioengineering problem. It is probably the safest mRNA immunotherapy ever used. It should be up to the individual whether they want it, and risk the side effects.

  4. I wish the blowhard would ADMIT he doesn't know more often. But why was he let off the hook? What is he doing to answer that question? He has no right to recommend mandates unless he can justify it with very strong evidence.

  5.  @HouseofReason78  Cite your sources, post-August 2021, and not from a single country and not from the press but from scientific studies. If breakthrough infections are so unusual, please explain the need for boosters.

  6. Exactly. With all the evidence of waning vaccine efficacy, everyone, vaccinated or not, should have routine testing.

  7. Try collecting information about what other countries' ministries of health are doing. You may have more support than you think.

  8. Isaac is not speaking about those who have not had COVID, or about anyone but himself. He supports those who choose vaccination. Does anyone LISTEN to anyone any more?

  9. Haitians have enough problems.

  10. No, there are actual studies that support his position. What is your opinion based on? Do you know what other countries are doing? Moreover, do you support mandates at this time? Based on what? We don't have the data to support it.

  12. Yeah, the pseudo progressives have been saying that. See Max Blumenthal on workers being fired over mandates, just the other day on TJDS.

  13. First of all, Isaac was smeared by Rolling Stone. If their goal was to promote vaccination, they certainly made a mistake. Second, he just told you his team has said nothing to him about getting vaccinated. Moreover, there are limitations in what an employer can mandate. Do you think it could require women to use birth control? That would reduce health care costs for everyone, which is no trivial matter. Could it refuse to employ HIV positive people? If routine, regular testing is as good or better than vaccination, should an employer accept that in lieu of vaccination, or should it be allowed to require vaccination? In any event, the players' union will have something to say. And don't be naive: NBA bosses may not want to take the myocarditis risk with their stars, even though it is very small, but they are keeping quiet about it.

  14. This is what I think: this story is not getting the coverage it deserves because there are still people around who are "uncomfortable" when a black man speaks so extremely well -- intelligently, calmly, backed by the best scientific evidence available now, and with true eloquence . . . and he is an ATHLETE on top of it, not a Harvard Law grad.

  15. He can submit to regular testing to protect everyone. Vaccinated people should too, since it appears immunity is not long lasting.

  16. Coupled with a drive to profit by one side which is not one bit lazy. Look for convergence of interests = no need to whisper and come to secret agreements.

  17. Freedom of speech, even for those who want to curtail others' freedom.

  18. Smears are backfiring . . . So . . . Are you a false flag?

  19.  @lazarusmartinez  Dumb slogans aren't working any more. So you reflexively repeat them anyway? Cool. Your problem, not Isaac's

  20. PCF stood up against vaccine mandates and passports a LONG time ago.

  21.  @HouseofReason78  And if a vaccinated person with waning immunity (and a false sense of security) passes COVID to someone, what will be your excuse for mandates? Issac's chance of dying of COVID is currently under 1%. Why should he take a vaccine that an older person somewhere in the world ought to have, based on real need?

  22.  @HouseofReason78  Of course you start off with a derogatory comment. Yes I do understand how vaccines work. Do you? (Psst, white American? How did I guess?)

  23.  @HouseofReason78  Oh, someone is an idiot now! Of course! Blocked.

  24.  @HouseofReason78  I see you still use military metaphors for the human immune system. Oh I have confidence now. Do you take out plastic toy soldiers, or Space Invaders?

  25.  @vietimports  Why do you ask? BTW, Kim Iversen has.

  26. Thank you.

  27. EVERY doctor has a right to urge his or her patients to get vaccinated. Should anyone be COERCED into vaccination? Should those who decline based on what is known so far be smeared for it by Rolling Stone, in their desperate bid to raise readership? Give me a friggin' break.

  28. Look up what Swiss ministry of health recommendation for people who have had a proven case of COVID. They do not say not to be vaccinated. But go see what they say, and compare with what you "know." It may take a few clicks, but persevere.

  29. Isaac isn't anti-vaxx.

  30.  @djinghiskhan9199  Right. He doesn't oppose vaccination. Didn't you listen? He had COVID, and has decided not to take this (very new) vaccine at this time. Does a person have to take every vaccine in order not to be an "anti-vaxxer?" Have you had Prevnar 13? It's been recommended for all ages for at least 5 years.

  31.  @djinghiskhan9199  Any more slogans ya got there? No?

  32.  @djinghiskhan9199  Did you also jeer "Horsey Paste" at the appropriate time, at prescribed intervals?

  33. Where did he tell anyone else what to do? He was smeared by Rolling Stone. Hence he spoke out, and explained HIS decision. BTW, regular testing of all people, vaccinated or not, would do more to stop the spread, and has no side effects.

  34.  @pkz420  Everything you've said is simply false. Given that we do not know how long immunity from vaccination or natural infection lasts, routine testing is essential, and has been widely implemented in other countries without drama.

  35.  @pkz420  Your fear mongering and belittling are not empirically based science or medicine, they are just obnoxious and telling. Incessantly repeating talking points does not make them true, nor does it increase their persuasive effect.
    1
  36.  @pkz420  If you think Isaac is ignorant, I guess you must not have listened to what he had to say, or had any interest in looking up the studies that tend to support his view. (Curious. Why is that?) Where a new virus is concerned, we are all to some extent ignorant. You don't know what you claim to know because no one does, yet.

  39. I've given factual information and had it removed immediately, so . . . .

  40. This video isn't anti-vaxx.

  41. THIS is a reasonable position, and a reasonable critique. Notice how few people are saying what you just did, all of which is true. Why is that? 1. Why did Rolling Stone smear this man? If they wanted to promote vaccination, it backfired. This is unfortunate. 2. Do you agree with vaccine mandates and passports, with no option for regular testing? Do you agree that with evidence of waning immunity from vaccination, testing should be broader? See, that's what I think.
    1
  42.  @blairkarasiuk4681  Total agreement. Now, for another question, opinion this time: why is your reasonableness so rare in the US? Why doesn't everyone think like you do? Also, it is evident you are perfectly ready to change your mind in light of better evidence, and . . . what you've just said may be the best evidence we have to go on right now. Well, you don't see that style of independent, empirical thinking here. :/

  43. What if you don't want to be a member of "society?"

  44. And keep a close watch on when it changes. Change with the times. /s

  45. Cite your sources.

  46. No evidence of that.

  47. Swiss ministry of health: look up their recommendation. I don't want to be censored if I repeat it.

  48. Posted that, got censored! It was a few weeks ago. I guess "the science" changed again, real fast. If routine, regular testing is as good or better than vaccination, should an employer accept that in lieu of vaccination, or should it be allowed to require vaccination? And you're right, let's not be naive: NBA bosses may not want to take the myocarditis risk with their stars, even though it is very small, but they are keeping quiet about that. Isaac said his team has had no problem with his position so far.
