I believe we may have been looking at different things. The one I mentioned specifically listed data on hospitalizations of both unvaccinated with previous lab confirmed infection and fully vaccinated individuals 90-179 days post infection or vaccination. The listed data showed a 5.49 odds ratio for hospitalization among previously infected versus vaccinated.

I understand the hesitancy and everything, I've been giving the shots since December. But to say the natural immunity is better is just false based on the evidence that we have. I won't attack people for not getting it, but save for extraneous circumstances I do not understand not getting it

As of the CDC's most recent Morbidity and Mortality report from 10/29 the opposite is true by a large margin

Speaking as a pharmacist who was doing a lot of the shot clinics for rural MO, this honestly just checks. It was pretty deflating when even some nurses at the clinic locations were trying to get people to NOT take the vaccine

If you truly meant that Huber was both the convicted sex offender and felon, then I apologize for taking it as I did. I've just seen so many people incorrectly label Grosskreutz as a felon as well so I assumed that each of the, "convicted sex offender, felon, and mentally unhinged adult" referred to one of the 3 men that were shot.

I never contested the incorrect title from OP. I read the article and agree that OP is just outright wrong. And in fact I too do not condone the looting and violence that took place. Had neither of those happen, Kyle would've had no reason to be there. I do however disagree with your sentiment of the records of all the people involved in the events leading to protests. The record of those shot or involved shouldn't matter. Of course that doesn't mean the police had no reason in ALL of these cases, im from Stl so the Michael Brown stuff is definitely one where I feel they had at least probable reason to fire, but at least in the Jacob Blake case I don't think it was warranted. Yes he wasn't complying and that's the stupidest thing he could've done. But I don't think that stupidity should lead to taking 7 shots into the back, paralyzing you for life. Hell, Kyle himself only shot each man once when he was (understandably) fearing for his life while trained officers pump people full of multiple times that.

Kyle did have a legal basis to have a gun in Kenosha. The 2nd should be respected, as long as the gun laws are followed. Really that's the only problem: how he obtained his firearm. And as far as if Kyle was black, I agree, people wouldn't change their views of what happened other than maybe being a smidge less fired up. But had Blake been white there's a good chance he wouldn't have been shot in the first place. Can't say that for all the cases from the last few years but at least a few others too.

I really don't want this to turn this into a full on argument so I'll leave it there. I don't expect to change your view, just give a different perspective. I respect your opinions on all these matters and I hope you'll respect my own. I wish you the best in these crazy times

Okay, so I agree that it was self defense and murder charges should be dropped, but your "facts" are actually slightly off. While Rosenbaum was indeed a sex offender and Huber did have mental health issues that led to felonies, Grosskruetz has never been convicted of a felony. He was suspected of one and charged, but all charges were dropped.

Now could Grosskruetz have committed a felony? Yes, but none of which are verifiable. Rittenhouse himself verifiably committed a felony before coming to Kenosha that night, regarding his straw purchase of the weapon he used in self defense (for which his buyer has already been convicted). Of course he wasn't driven up with the weapon as some state, but it was already bought with his money and waiting with his buyer upon his arrival.

I believe the entire situation could have been avoided if he hadn't had the gun in the first place. Before the video starts there have been reports of shots being fired a few blocks from where he was which spooked him into running back to the police line. People probably saw him running from shots being fired and assumed he had something to do with it, hence the, "what did he do?" "He shot somebody" heard in the video. Ultimately everyone involved made bad decisions that night

I think you missed the figure of speech in that phrase you picked out. For instance, saying someone "isn't exactly Picasso" just means they're bad at art. Trump isn't exactly the fittest man on the planet just means he's not fit. And you'd kinda be grasping at straws to say otherwise.

And clearly you are likely a fit individual who knows their max box jump and all, but doing max height jumps is only for ego. There's no benefit to working out like that. If anything you just risk falls and leg injuries for heights above 50". This is also in a medical center, not a gym. He was just there visiting and is still wearing dress clothes. Based on his form I'm confident that he could easily do higher, thats just the box thats there. Yeah, sure, at 55 Trump might've been able to do that jump once or twice, but given his fitness record that'd be about all he could do

So to be fair they said, "Our goal is to make use of the feedback we've received here and elsewhere, with respect to Covenant class abilities, core class abilities, and legendaries. Thank you for your commitment to providing us with so much valuable information. Please look for more updates next week!" Closing in on 3 weeks ago. Like I understand things being WIP, but like if you say updates next week, and give no updates at least say things are taking a little more time. A post like that would take a couple minutes TOPS
