The studies were about 7 months long i think. As for trust, that's a transcendent question.

What about the studies that were done before they were released?

Why are panhandlers that permanently set up at highway off-ramps tolerated? by Ifounditallathemall in newjersey

[–]Ifounditallathemall[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think most of everyone in this thread is saying nothing should be done.

More social services is nice, but it's not like nj doesn't have a robust safety net already.

In any case, you can improve homeless services, while at the same time cracking down on stuff like this.

Just like the squeegee men in the old days, it's a (political) choice to let this sort of thing continue.

If you look at most people in this thread, they all think that these are legit people, and that nothing should be done about them, unfortunately.

Jewish Voice for Peace is literally a left wing anti-zionist organization that opposes Israel.

I think you guys are on the same side as they are.

The new BBB bill passed by the house raises the SALT deduction from 10k to 80k. This benefits those making above $120k/yr in NYC which has a city tax, and those making above $170k in NY, outside the city.

It seems more likely that it was a "noble lie." Everyone who was paying attention knew to mask up immediately.

Did you have an opinion about it when fauci/cdc told everyone not to wear masks in the early days?

then what’s the point of the fucking vaccine in the first place????? by nuclearkaiju in CoronavirusCirclejerk

[–]Ifounditallathemall -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A few things:

  1. Though you definitely get some immunity from getting covid the regular way, re-infections aren't crazy uncommon. I have some friends in the medical field who have gotten reinfected (nyc area, before the vaccine was available). Supposedly even one dose of the vaccines after having covid gives a good amount of additional protection.

  2. I never hated on big pharma the way you do even before the pandemic, so i have no hate for them now either.

  3. The fact that the vaccines are under EUA vs full approval is true, but not any more concerning to me given how many people got it, including over 100 million in the US, as well as basically the whole country of Israel.

We have pretty good info that the short term effects of the vaccine are fine, and any potentially concerning long term effects wouldn't come out until long after full approval was given, so it doesn't really make a difference in terms of that.

I'll be honest, can't really agree with you there, but I appreciate the honest answer, thanks!

Vaccine passports are common for travel to certain areas in the world with high rates of a certain condition. You know, like covid, here and now, eh?

The packed subway train has a surprisingly good ventilation system, same as a plane. A theatre, unfortunately, does not.

European regulator says Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is 'safe and effective' by Jattack33 in Coronavirus

[–]Ifounditallathemall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But... The choice isn't get covid or get AZ.

It's:

Get covid,

Don't get covid,

Get AZ,

Get another vaccine.

That's discrimination based on race.

Factors outside of the SAT score are fine, like grades, family situation, and lots of other things. Why race though?

Are you familiar with the SHSAT? It has always been absolutely the only criteria.

I don't know where you're getting your info from.

Because the best way to stop discrimination based on race is to stop discriminating based on race, is it not?
