FWIW, UK adults are 84% double vaccinated (64% boosted) and I've not heard of anyone's limbs falling off/multiplying in their sleep.
The UK was hit hard by Covid prior to vaccines - around 1 in 12 over 80s in the UK had already died of Covid by January 2021 (about 1 months after vaccines began rolling out here).
One year into the UK rollout, and our daily Covid deaths have dropped by 85% (around 70% prior to Omicron). https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths?areaType=nation&areaName=England
No, this thread hasn't changed my mind.
Mind bomb.
bizutch, that seems like a pretty huge group to have that many issues so close together that it sounds like there's some sore of secondary cause, of course I don't know this for sure. I've heard mentions of issues in my local community but of all the people I know in the 3 major Canadian cities I've lived in and family all over and in the US, I don't know one person who has had an issue past a sore arm. That's likely a couple thousand people between 10 and 87 and if all health types. Again not saying it didn't happen, it just seems like a very tight group to have that many issues.
Also, they've use dogs in airports, boarders, ports, policing, and generally everywhere since dogs have been domesticated. Dogs can detect anything from Cocain to Cancer. You seem to be kind relating the fact modern Germans are using dogs to detect things previous German outings which is pretty different.
“Of the 1,695 patients currently hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, 965 (56.9%) are not fully vaccinated.
For the week beginning January 9, 2022, unvaccinated persons had a 3.2x greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 compared to fully vaccinated persons.
For the week beginning January 9, 2022, unvaccinated persons had a 13.9x greater risk of dying from COVID-19 compared to fully vaccinated persons.”
100% Hitler Approved!!!! SCOTUS would toss that in a blink. My god, people are stupid. Those states need not wonder why they are failing.
But, in the same state if you pillage a store and rob someone, well, that is all good......

But, ID to vote????? Thats too much :-)
Oh, NOTHING about our handwritten vaccine cards are even slightly "ID" grade. We have our MA's sign them. They certainly can not sign for an RX or even a basic lab draw....but, ChinaFlu passport? Why the hell not.
I am glad that the two states I frequent (Fl and NC) allow citizens tobe armed. The ignorant left is begging for a civil war.
You throw around "liberal" like it is a bad thing not realizing that most of the freedoms people enjoy are actually "liberal". The Constitution is a "liberal" document (not a single nation in the world had a representative limited democracy). There is not a state in the UNION that can get by on their own. They depend upon the support and funding from other states. Florida, with its lack of fresh drinking water, elderly population, lack of natural resources, poor level of education, rising sea levels, and lack of arable land will be one of the ones to suffer most. And before you say something like, 'we can get it from ______.' What makes you think that any of the surrounding states would donate or sell Florida any of its resources, without a central system requiring them to? You do not exactly have anything to offer in return. In fact, as of 2014, over 33% (more than $25 billion) of your state operating budget comes from the tax payers of the other states. Good luck plugging that hole. But hey, you and every other state in the UNION has residents with guns. Good for you...
Bottom line is your mindset is the result of the 2 party system pushing you to believe that there is only one way forward when in reality, the "other side" has some great policies as well. You have bought into the idea that 'Conservatives' offer anything other than 'what about-isms' and vilification of others because they themselves have no ideas about what to do. Trumps mentor is the same guy who helped Republican McCarthy launch his "search" for (non existent) Communists in government. Any coincidence that that seems to be the same line again right now? Certainly not. The only difference is this time no one in Congress is willing to step up and say 'enough' from within the Republican party. Why? Because a manufactured fear of the other leads people to blindly follow. People who spew garbage like your 'civil war' is EXACTLY what they want. That is not good for anyone except the politicians. It certainly is not going to do you any good. You say ignorant but I am pretty certain it is not the "left" that is exhibiting that here.
Cluster B personality disorders are a categorization of personality disorders as defined in the DSM-IV and DSM-5. They are characterized by impulsive, self-destructive, emotional behavior and sometimes incomprehensible interactions with others. They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.
What if the scenario was that the French government was not allowing riders to compete from Muslim countries "that harbor terrorists" instead of non-vaccinated. Of course there aren't many pro riders from these countries, but if there were, I bet we would see the people in this thread who are yelling "Government Overreach" suddenly be less vocal.
What if riders couldn't race due to being Drafted into the Military. The Draft in case you don't remember, is where if you were a young person of a certain age you either got potentially killed or maimed for your country or went to jail. Talk about government overreach.....Actually for most people I think would depend on what war you died in.
Lot of grey areas in my opinion.
As for mortality rate, I'm guessing you'd still have a ton of vocal people even with a 100 % death rate. 'Just don't catch it, why do we have to vaccinate'.
BTW, I'm REALLY interested in how many antivaxxers (the diehard ones, that don't want to be vaccinated) would turn down a Tetanus or Rabies shot if needed. Either of those would be Grade A darwinism.

Are you the fat guy in that video? If so, you sound crazy🤪🤪🤪
In our world it is disgusting. Men competing as women. Abortions are 100% A-OK right up till the day of birth...theft is okay, rioting is okay, murderers get cash bond and in NYC illegals may be able to vote (for in theory local elections). We are letting gifted military professionals go due to a ridiculous shot (that is 100% unproven and day to day is even less functional as is proven).
Our people, seriously at a 50/50 ratio are virtue signaling over a freaking ChinaFlu shot - all the while, our Govt will not even admit it is FROM CHINA, and worse, from US funds in a lab that creates weaponized disease! This is simply factual (granted, wont find it on YouTube or Facebook).
The shame is, the liberals used to be "live and let live". That is long past. Look at any college campus and public school system to see pure unadulterated zealots and hate filled bigots. Judging everyone and everything that is not in lock step (and thought) with them and their flawed ideals. Now, oddly, the party who freed the blacks from slavery is the party of "Live and let live". It is stunning how much a current college campus is a reflection of 1930s Germany. The thought police is every Karen.
As for FL, some drawbacks here. The education system is head and shoulders ahead of that in Chicago (my former home town). The healthcare here is far superior in every aspect (but for rural care, that is a national thing however). The drinking water? Hell if I know, all I know is there are a ton of springs and ton of bottled water places making millions of bottles near me. More over, no state income tax and medical malpractice insurance is 30% of that in Illinois. Plus, some super nice MTN bike trails. While FL depends on many other states....in the big scheme of things, at least we are not NY ;-)
Edit - and you are right, we in FL live off of tax dollars from tourists...like AOC who was just here, with no mask :-) Shall we talk Vegas??? Dont hate the player, hate the game.
Just remember to come up for air every now and again for the YouTube and Facebook rabbit holes you seem to regularly fall down.
On topic: France is outside of the imaginary world the new breed of American conservatives have created. More power to them. Push bike athletes should not be exceptions to these kinds of issues. If anything, they should be examples.
Off topic again: Flatlander, don't go to France. People there make AOC look like a conservative. JK, you probably really should travel - sounds like you need some fresh perspective. Come to a third world hospital in the middle of Covid wave, it's lovely.
So this AM a PT was was + for Omi was told on Friday "no drinking" - as he has a history of alcohol abuse. Shows up today, dude drank NOTHING, not water, not anything since Friday. He left our facility in an ambulance to the ED....not sure if I feel bad for this dude or not....this is what society has become (roll eyes)
Be safe out there my friends. Oh, and drink plenty of fluids!
While "Team USA World Police" needs to stop. We also need to back our allies.
This sets a precedent that I am sure most countries with major international sports events will follow. In the case of the UCI, it's been pretty clear that the policies of the country where the cycling event will be held will have to be complied to unequivocally. A visible example of this is that back-/spine-protection in certain countries are mandated on downhill/enduro races (i.e. France) while not required in others (i.e. USA).
It is very likely that any UCI World Cup event held in the EU will mandate vaccination for participants: this includes, athletes, support staff, officials, and attending audiences.
Whether or not the vaccine is effective is really beside the point. If you are an athlete and you want to compete overseas, you will need to be fully vaccinated. If your political affiliations or belief in the anti-vaccine movement is much stronger than your desire to compete, then you will need to seriously consider a career change.
How the hell did we get here in this thread. Good lord we need a block feature.
Sure, that for that maybe 0.0000000001% of the population is affected. But - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7inaTiDKaU
I can not wait for all the lawyer advertisements in about ten years or so...."did you take X vaccine during the Covid Scare.....YOU CAN COLLECT DAMAGES!!!" - this will make the Vioxx cases look like patty cake.
Note: Do not take Vioxx with a quart of whisky (or Celebrex for that matter).
Keiser Sose.
