using blood samples from 20 people. In that preliminary study, vaccination appeared to work against the mutated virus

I think I will wait for the result of a full study.

The oxford vaccine is likely going to need to be tweaked, delaying it by months. The UK was relying on the oxford vaccine. But the oxford vaccine was already in doubt, which is why the US hasn't approved it yet and instead doing it's won trials.

I think the UK is going to just keep using it until a better one comes along though.

Hey, a bit of protection and reduction in severe cases is better than none at all though, right?

There's no evidence the vaccine killed those 29 people in Norway.
Lol lacius still standing in his front yard arguing with the alien about its existence because his government fact checking websites says "their is no proof of aliens" there for they don't exist.

. If I take the vaccine and have a car accident later, that's not the vaccine's fault. You have to consider externalities, a lot of the patients taking it are already old.
No but if you test positive for covid and die in a car accident covid death numbers just went up 1 :rofl2:

$1400 but it's OK Noone does the math at first. I'm still wondering how him saying that wasnt considered buying votes.

Wow, that's bull shit! He said 2000 dollars, and now he's trying for 1400? He told people to vote a certain way at the runoff, if they want their 2 grand. DNC has control in both the Senate and House. If no 2000 dollar by the end of the month, then they're just as useless as the other party.

People get vaccinated, and things happen to people after they're vaccinated. Correlation doesn't not mean causation, and it's embarrassingly stupid to claim otherwise.

The only person doing any front yard yelling is the one shouting unsubstantiated anti-vaccination nonsense. You might as well be claiming that vaccines cause autism because some people developed autism at some point after receiving vaccinations. That's not how science works. Anecdotes aren't data. When you learn these things, the less like a front yard yeller you'll seem.

Oh I'm not spitting anti vac shit. Hell open the line I will get in it. Let's vaccinate and open shit up I'm not scared. Just think its funny you said that just like how u constantly repeated "their is no proof of election fraud" like your reading it from a government approved response book :wink: just ripping and making a little joke. (Apparently not a good one as I have to explain it lol)

Biden said $2000 total, and $600 was already sent out. I agree though that the optics are bad, not just because so many Americans are incapable of doing basic math, but also because an "extra" $600 shouldn't be a deal-breaker after going a year without any relief. Just about every other first-world nation gave their citizens monthly payments to get through the pandemic.

You implied I'll deny evidence when it's staring me in the face, so forgive me if I didn't think it was funny.

Are we really gonna talk about 'but muh election fraud' again? Really people? I thought that shit had gone past its use by date now.

People will keep using 'fake news' and 'fraud' like they're some kind of political Expelliarmus, say it loud enough and the other side can't do anything. Sadly those of us who live in reality just have to deal with their delusions and desperate clinging to false hope. Trump made it sound like he'd fix all their problems and people are nothing if not lazy entitled sheep who'll follow anyone who offers an easy way out. Sod working hard to fix your life, just wait for someone claiming to be a savior to do it all for you. So now Trump is spinning it like he was robbed and he was totally gonna fix all your piddly-ass problems but never got a chance because of the evil people standing in his way. People will stay desperate and stay on his message because they still can't tell false hope from anything real. As long as there are lazy, desperate people with even the smallest problems in life, there will always be people like Trump looking to exploit their desperation for political gain. So no, there is no use by date on election fraud claims. That shit is eternal, better get used to it. It's always been there, the internet just made it obvious.

Well...

Correlation is evidence that would solicit further investigation, and unfortunately the Norway situation is disappointing on such accounts. Denying evidence is a skill you've harnessed, especially via platitudes as if pleading the 5th.

Cool story, not actual evidence as per the normal with you.

Yes, wanting further understanding is a normal response when being presented with a correlation. Defensiveness is not.


"Proof requires evidence, but not all evidence constitutes proof.

Proof is a fact that demonstrates something to be real or true. Evidence is information that might lead one to believe something to be real or true. Proof is final and conclusive. Evidence is tentative."

Generalization: The only reason I can imagine why you say evidence instead of proof, is because you want to hide how defensive you are being.

Investigation is great, but there is currently no more evidence these vaccines killed anybody than there is evidence that vaccines have ever caused autism.

So do you actually have evidence or just more random pseudo-intellectual comments?
