Give it to hurricane victims, don't reward virtue-signally bowtie-wearing clowns at Tulane. No doubt they were counting on selling out the OU game to make this stunt feasible.
Regarding probabilities, it is important to keep in mind that these risks compound. You can still get Covid on top of all those other things that kill you, and for me that’s a bad deal since I want to optimize my chances of living. But, my main worry about getting Covid is how hellaciously sick you can get. Yes, dying is obviously worse but even if you live it can be horrible.
Wanted to wait and see if any of the shot cheerleaders would point out that getting the covid shot doesn't immunize you from covid.
Doc mcstuffins isn't taken seriously because he has been wrong too many times, has spouted misinformation several times, and....is responsible for the 50th best state hospital system.
TLDR
It isn't about being a 'shot cheerleader' or any other name-calling. It is about having a substantive conversation about what is known and what isn't. Vaccinated people do not always (but sometime can) carry the same viral load and they don't typically carry it as long as unvaccinated. Not to mention they don't get as sick (which I just mentioned). Even thought vaccinated people can clearly still spread COVID, they don't do so on average at the same rate as unvaccinated. So no, it doesn't completely immunize you from COVID, but it does help.
But you didn't have a conversation. You completely ignored the statement, other than Liking it.
I do know that and I acknowledged so. Just like you know that the spreading effect is not the same on average between the two. A balanced discussion fairly considering the merits of both views isn’t a bad thing.
This point is what makes me insane about any type of vaccine segregation.

This guy speaks your language. Maybe you’ll listen to him.Concerning the use of Ivermectin:
Confirm the price charged for any visit prior to the consultation.
We have reports of some doctors charging exorbitant fees.
(and the sky is blue...)
Two hundred eighty patients, 173 treated with ivermectin and 107 without ivermectin, were reviewed. Most patients in both groups also received hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, or both. Univariate analysis showed lower mortality in the ivermectin group (15.0% vs 25.2%; OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.29-0.96; P = .03). Mortality also was lower among ivermectin-treated patients with severe pulmonary involvement (38.8% vs 80.7%; OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.05-0.47; P = .001). No significant differences were found in extubation rates (36.1% vs 15.4%; OR, 3.11; 95% CI, 0.88-11.00; P = .07) or length of stay. After multivariate adjustment for confounders and mortality risks, the mortality difference remained significant (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.09-0.80; P = .03). One hundred ninety-six patients were included in the propensity-matched cohort. Mortality was significantly lower in the ivermectin group (13.3% vs 24.5%; OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.22-0.99; P < .05), an 11.2% (95% CI, 0.38%-22.1%) absolute risk reduction, with a number needed to treat of 8.9 (95% CI, 4.5-263).

From another of those links:
Conclusions: Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.

Then why did you simply Like @gator1776's post and move on? Why not point out that it's not a good idea to stop testing players who have gotten the shot?
It's virtue-signalling and an attempt at PR.This point is what makes me insane about any type of vaccine segregation.
The shots *might* help the person that gets them…but no one is immune.
Oh and today someone in the liberal media finally woke up re: masks.
Study finds mask mandates have no substantial effect on slowing COVID-19 spread | Blaze Media
With students finally headed back to school for the fall, debate is raging nationwide over whether K-12 children should be required to wear face masks to reduce the spread of COVID-19. But a peer-reviewed study suggests that mask use and requirements during the pandemic had no substantial impact...
Not every post gets a comment. I also liked one of your other posts without comment. If I think I have something to add to a post, then I will comment. If I agree with a post or think that it advances a conversation then I usually throw a like at it.
Careful @SORT14 , You better do more than just like my comment, you have to comment on my comment or the natives will get upset.
I really think hospitals should allow doctors to try giving this medicine if a doctor wants to try it and a family wants to try it. There’s really not outstanding evidence that it does a damn thing but it’s not any worse than some of the other medicines we gave that have equally no evidence or worse evidence. I don’t see the harm in trying this even though I’m not convinced it works. And I’ve noticed since I sent my own letter questioning the ethics of using Remdesivir when there’s evidence to show that it doesn’t work and has toxic side effects like renal failure but not allowing us to try ivermectin it’s just Morley and ethically inconsistent, that there’s still a great reluctance to even consider trying it. I mean when you’re at the end and he got nothing else to try, as long as it’s not Harmful, why not.Ohio Judge Orders Hospital to Treat Ventilated COVID-19 Patient With Ivermectin

All that said I really wish people would just vaccinate instead which would make this whole controversy of which Hail Mary pass to throw when you’re down by six with half a second left in the fourth quarter completely unnecessary
That my deal. When you’re down 7 on your own 40 with seconds left, why hand off the ball to your stud RB?
Because the shot is 100% safe and there's 0% chance anything bad will happen from taking it.
I’m inclined to agree. And these people that I keep watching die over and over again, why the hell not.
Well since they all died from Covid that’s what I put down.
Sounds like the same honesty and integrity you apply to determining the cause of death of your hypothetical patients.
Nope. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if some of us have already gotten and recovered from covid and didn't even know it.
Yep. The vaccine looks like Glen Close from Fatal Attraction. Super hot when she kicks the covid slut out of the car, then she boils your bunny the next day.
