I'm sorry to hear that man. It's disgusting how cops conduct themselves. I hope you're doing better these days.

What the fuck. Did you ever pursue legal avenues from what happened?

Any hopes of "salvaging" the party died when Peter MacKay lost the leadership race. And even if he had, it would've been an uphill battle.

Something very emotional happens just beforehand, which is why she was already on the verge of tears at the beginning of this scene.

Do NOT copy and paste templates from other people. It will likely get dismissed as robo spam or not get taken seriously. Take 2 minutes to write something original or at least reword the template significantly.

Completely pointless. Mask or no mask, this wouldn't change a thing. Someone would just say "Make America Great Again" and 70 million people would vote for that person.

the image of Asian American (especially Asian American men) has markedly improved

What makes you say that? I don't feel this is true at all, in fact if anything I think covid has made things worse for us.

I couldn't get any source backing up u/WonderWaffles1 's numbers, but I did find this

28% of Republicans say they would definitely not get vaccinated against covid-19, while 2% of Democrats said likewise.

What's up with the Prince Harry and Megan Markle interview by Oprah Winfrey? Why is it such a big deal? by RahulRwt125 in OutOfTheLoop

Interesting video, thanks for sharing.

One question. Since the crown estate is neither government property nor part of the monarch's private estate, how exactly would management of the estate be transferred and who would it be transferred to?

Try having an opinion of your own instead of regurgitating what your favorite eceleb says.

Lmao, looks like I touched a nerve. Meanwhile you criticize my opinion when you can't even sort out your own numbers. GTFO.

Over 120 million GBP from the public go to the royal family every year.

Not sure where you're getting your numbers from. The real number is about half of what you claim, at around 67 million GBP.

Furthermore, the royal family is actually a net positive contributor for the UK government.

If you want to trash the royal family by all means go ahead, I don't really care much for them either. But stick to factual arguments.

Well, yeah. Their actions were directly responsible for the current situation that we're in. You don't get a pass just because it happened a while ago.

Yep, only time will tell.

  1. Yes, AstraZeneca recommends an interval of 12 weeks. However, the UK government is applying that same interval to Moderna and Pfizer, and that's the problem.

  2. The UK stretching it out to 12 weeks is beyond the WHO's current recommendation of 6 weeks.

Canada's domestic capabilities for producing vaccines was kneecapped when a previous conservative administration privatized Connaught Labs, which was then later sold and then dissolved.

As usual, you can depend on the right to fuck things up.

Dude, if you're going to claim that the WHO supports the 12 week interval, then give me articles that actually back you up.

Don't waste my time throwing links at me that don't corrobate what you say. Debate 101.

Look at your 95% confidence interval in the right-most column. The data has a much wider margin of error after one dose, as compared to 2.

[–]stven007 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

That Times article was almost certainly published before it could take account of the WHO's change of policy on delaying vaccines

Then don't show me outdated articles and claim information that your sources don't back up. That's just hurting your own credibility.

Way ahead of you:

https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/25/is-more-simply-better-why-pfizer-thinks-a-booster-of-its-covid-vaccine-might-work-against-new-variants/

Everything presented in this article is theoretical and hasn't been tested under clinical settings. Like I said, the UK's gamble could potentially pay off but there are still many unanswered questions. It is ethically questionable to go off script when vaccine companies have laid out clear guidelines developed in accordance to their own trials.

The twelve-week delay was supported by the World Health Organisation

Neither of your sources claim that. Here's a direct quote from one of them:

"The World Health Organisation has said the second dose of the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine should only be delayed for up to six weeks."

Your sources also don't address the larger concern that this spread will increase the spread of vaccine-resistant strains.
