  8.  @aalvarez2914  "half the people who fell ill with delta in Israel were fully vaccinated" Israel's exact wording was "as many as" meaning 50% is their upper limit. The population is also 57% vaccinated, meaning you are still safer to have it. Their predictions based on what they've seen are 88% efficacy. It's possible that the vaccinated are being effected at a high rate due to them being outside unmasked and travelling more. "but they do not stop you from getting infected or spreading it to others" Actually they do. That 88% efficacy is the immunity rate. Only 12% can be infected. "That only happens after you’ve actually been exposed to the virus, like many of us already have." For how long though? Similar reinfections can also happen, same as the vaccine. "That’s when you build a mucosal secretory Iga antibody layer and response, which is what protects you from being infected and spreading it to others." They're actually reviewing a vaccine that does specifically this, but that's not to say that the existing vaccines don't do this at all. "These only give your body awareness of a piece of the spike protein too, versus people who’ve gotten over the real virus, who’s immune system now knows the full virus and can detect variants better too." The spike protein targets a specific area of the virus. Without this natural immunity may develop any number of methods to stopping the infection. This means the ability of your body to stop variants is a guessing game, as you don't actually know how your body decided to fight the virus. "That’s fine but there’s also no long-term safety studies on reprogramming live human cells to start creating custom proteins with lab-sequenced mRNA wrapped in polymerized antifreeze which is what the lipid shells are." you're joking right. Reprogramming cells to create custom proteins is a daily affair. "There are people dying from the vaccine they are downplaying and pretending their deaths had nothing to do with it, young people who had very little risk from the virus itself." Very few. So far the vaccines are far safer than the virus. Also, with new variants coming out and hospitalisations effecting younger and younger people with the new Delta variant, the idea that things aren't going to get worse for the unvaccinated, no matter their age, is ridiculous. "There is a backwards desperation to prevent there being a control group, because they don’t want it known a lot of unvaccinated people are doing just fine without it." Actually the control groups are required to be offered the vaccine after the clinical trials have concluded due to ethical reasons. It's literally illegal to do so. "The partial immunity the vaccine provides also lets people get infected and spread it, just with milder symptoms and creates evolutionary pressure for mutations too." The 94% immunity the vaccines give stops the spread. The other 6% are so mild that the viral load is never really enough to pass it on in significant quantities, nothing like catching it while unvaccinated. Mutations are happening in the unvaccinated. Delta for example is from India, which even now is only 22% vaccinated. "The people relying on the “vaccine” don’t seem to understand you still need the basics of a healthy immune system, or you’re still going to be infected with mild symptoms if you’re lucky, possibly creating variants and also spreading it to others." The people not relying on the vaccine risk death as well as all those other things sooo..... "The clinical claim is the vaccines reduce severe illness and death, that’s it " Right, but that doesn't mean that's the only thing it does. "That’s fine but that’s different than conferring immunity anywhere near natural immunity provides, which many already have so they don’t need this extra risk." Your plan just sounds like letting people die from covid and hoping nobody gets reinfected. Never mind the 600K Americans dead already, this kind of thinking will kill millions. There will be many more with long-term health complications such as heart damage, lung damage and fatigue. This is the dumbest answer.

  46. Biden stopped specific construction projects that would only waste the country money. Claiming that these jobs were worthwhile enough to keep when they could easily spend the money on a different project and make just as many jobs is dishonest. The pipeline was also illegal as it crossed water sources for native lands, breaking our treaties with them, and pointless. The wall was even worse, ineffective, dangerous to the environment and a waste of money, money which was stolen form the Pentagon. Biden suspended an order that may have reduced insulin prices so it could be reviewed. The running consensus is that the rule would do nothing to drop prices. Trans athletes lose their hormone edge around the 2 year mark with hormone therapy. Sports will not be destroyed because of this. The US is still energy independent. This will only change if oil usage increases or production decreases. I predict usage will increase more and more over time with more people going back to work and traveling more, but we'll see. Building a pipeline doesn't make us more or less energy independent. The US has been producing a larger and larger percentage of its own energy since Bush Jr's second term. They're also looking to invest $40 billion per year, more than 20 times the investment of the pipeline, to creating more renewable energy jobs and sources. This will create jobs while also making the US more energy independent. Trump broke agreements with Iran and killed one of their military officers. What exactly has Biden done that you disapprove of in the region? He signed EOs because we are in the middle of a pandemic, nothing productive had been done in 4 years with the increased migrants coming to the US from central America and nothing has been done to fight climate change in 4 years either. God forbid we have a president willing to actually fight this stuff.

  66.  @BillyTheKidder  The historical evidence is that candidates with a more extreme following tend to attract people with more extreme beliefs and more extreme actions to fit those beliefs, such as covering your house in 20 Trump flags or flying the confederate battle flag. Biden supporters tend to steer away from such blatant displays of nationalism and what essentially amounts to thumping your chest like a gorilla to prove your point. They voted rather than shouted, and it worked. If you really want more examples I can give them, but arguing against it due to an insufficient number of points being made simply because you determined it so doesn't really help you case. Even if these were the only 2 newsworthy examples, it wouldn't really change much. But sure, by all means. I would like to preface this with the fact that Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020. El Paso Walmart shooting 2020 boogaloo killings Kenosha protest shooting Poway synagogue shooting Jeffersontown Kroger shooting Pittsburgh synagogue shooting Planned parenthood shooting Portland train attack Charleston church shooting LAX shooting Attack on Pennsylvania State Police barracks 2018 mail bombing attempts These are just the public attacks in the name of right wing ideals. This says nothing for the hundreds of videos and actions of right wing supporters calling for action: Trump tweeted a video that included the statement "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" Fox News claiming that "All the Democrats have is lying and deception" Dinesh D'Souza on Larry King claiming that the Democratic left are fascists Trump proclaiming that only his supporters are true American patriots Numerous videos questions and attacking Colin Kaepernick as a thug Numerous videos of people being shot, choked and beaten by the police without repercussions Militia groups actively preparing for civil war in the lead up to the 2020 election Increased KKK signups and marches The direct attacks and lies about Obama including: Calling him a Muslim and saying he swore in on a Quran Claiming he was born in Kenya Saying he is the literal coming of the anti-christ Calling him Satan Trump co-chair wishing death on Obama Syracuse "hang Obama" threats Warning ISIS of incoming airstrikes before they happened Failed to stockpile ventilators Obama Foundation owns mail-in ballot printers Obama's full name means COVID (seriously, these are just bizarre) The Capitol attack was just a culmination of years of rhetoric coming crashing down as Trump supporters angrily reach stage 2 of their grief journey. They probably won't get much past that either. Add to all of this the fact that conservative gun ownership, violence and terrorism are all increasing, and have been increasing for over a decade, at a steady rate. Rhetoric from these conservative groups has been growing steadily. The silent majority is a thing and they voted accordingly. Also, again, not that this matters, as the absence of what you consider to be an appropriate number of examples is not indicative of there being no issue.

  80. ​ @jakeglenn2246  > "Facebook Co- founder(“World Economic Forum”) , Bill Gates , Fauci and Big pharma planned C 19 and removed Trump from office. Interesting claim. Got any evidence for that? Honestly, you think that they started a virus, in China of all places, and spread it all over the world, just to prove Trump is incompetent? Even if you are correct all Trump had to do was not be incompetent. >Why wasn’t the white house and GOP senators invited to event 201? Because at every turn they have been working to undermine the whole pandemic response. >Why weren’t the American people allowed to attend? Which American people? American people were there. >Which Big pharma reps were there and why? Probably the ones producing the vaccine. >Why was the CIA and NSA there? Why wasn’t Trump notified? These are contradictory. I'm sure Trump was notified and has the CIA and NSA acting on his behalf, or he skipped that briefing like he always does. Either way. >John Hopkins was the organization that also tracked and reported on the C19 actual event!!! Correct. I'm glad they were there since they obviously know the most about all of this. >The American people have NOT elected Gates, Fauci, Big pharma or John Hopkins or the CDC to direct our healthcare. Well, sort of. The CDC head is appointed by the president, who is elected. The rest of them were hosting a private event and invited officials, who decided it would be a good idea. Gates, Johns Hopkins and the rest have no obligation to help people, but maybe they aren't complete sacks of shit like Trump. Gates for instance donated billion upon billions around the world to help people, yet you think he is somehow orchestrating a pandemic just to get at Trump? >Why is Roxanne S. Austin- Verizon BOD also on BOD of big pharma? Why not? Maybe because they know a thing or two about business and can provide a unique approach that more pharmaceutically driven individuals cannot? Here's an idea. If Trump and his personal team are being attacked so hard, why don't they do some investigating and prove it? They appointed judges and had the head of the department of justice on their side, and found literally nothing. No lawsuits, no trials, no evidence. Also, are you saying the virus is fake or the vaccine. Wouldn't the vaccine still be a good thing?
