I was looking to get a suppressor for my house gun.

I was wondering when the administration would make it easier.

Thanks Republicans! Thanks MAGA morons!

Stupid waste of money.

SCOTUS has indicated in several decisions that they will uphold certain gun regulations, including who can bear an arm, where and when. They even cite the requisite laws from the proper times to fulfill their latest test they concocted out of thin air.

Go blow a trucker, dumbass.

Hey Cletus, you're the one who thinks a trailer is a house LOL

Oh that's never going away. Ever.

A few short years ago I never would have thought it possible that a branch of government would become so subservient to another branch of government that it would unconstitutionally attempt to limit the power of a co-equal branch of government just to placate a POTUS that would have been, according to them, their worst nightmare.

But here they cheer and go along with it.

Its transitory!

This is what you wanted, s*&^heap. You don't get to be flippant.

Wait, you mean there are actual laws that define and regulate these things because they're under Congressional oversight as agencies that wield delegated Congressional power!?!?!

He's just another guy playing the same game, and frankly, he's not playing it any better.

Great post, but I disagree with the final line.

He's not playing the same game in that Trump is the most shamelessly corrupt, money grabbing conman to hold office at the national level in our lifetimes.

So, in a way, he is playing it better...or worse depending on your perspective.

And it's everything the right whined about, claimed to be against and derided Biden for from 2020-2024. Over 1,100 pages, non-budget stuff being forced into budget bills, deficit spending and solidifying POTUS power in ways that violate the separation of powers.

I'm sure they'll be silent when it comes to any of that but will happily chirp the latest talking points and excuses when needed.

Again, I'm sure you'll focus on death because that's all your simple, uninformed mind can grasp.

But like most vaccines, there's multiple layers of protection that are the driver of their development and approval.

For COVID, serious disease caused by first time infection can cause permanent organ damage from first time infections (for COVID that can include specifically the heart for children, but for anyone you can suffer multi-system organ damage because of its tendency to cause vascular damage when uncontrolled) that might require hospitalization. We know that even mild cases can cause myocarditis in children, especially young males.

Now if you have a crystal ball that can definitively say which children are safe and which are not, your BS is palatable. Since you don't, you're arguing for a crap shoot with serious consequences for those who lose.

You're not a serious person and I suspect you're just sealioning.

This literally took 30 seconds to find not only published studies but also multiple study enrollment/description pages.

Those recommendations are clearly insane and influenced by the Dem panic/planned demic.

No, they're not. They're based on a deeper understanding of the topics involved than you will ever understand or have.

Before I can answer that, what's effectiveness of the current vaccine on those hypothetical future variants?
#37 | Posted by visitor_

You're not asking the correct question, probably because you don't know what questions to ask.

We know that not only do coronaviruses change over time (like all other RNA viruses, in fact, they're even kind of slow as far as that goes...) but also that coronavirus immunity wanes faster than others. I don't think we fully understand why, but that is the case for other human coronaviruses and it was pretty accurate for COVID as well.

So, we actually end up with a two variable problem whereby the viruses are changing over time while our population level immunity wanes. Both of those add up to large outbreaks/epidemics at longer intervals than the typical influenza outcome of low level endemicity on a seasonal basis.

Again, we see that kind of cycle with the other four human coronaviruses that circulated prior to COVID.

A yearly boost (preferably with Novavax or other protein-based vaccine) would suppress one of the two variables by boosting immune memory. Whether or not it was an accurate enough prediction to be highly strain specific is another question but, at the very least, preventing the waning of population level immunity to minimize the development of large groups of naive or reduced immunity people to reduce the size of epidemics is not a waste of resources or money or time.

If you search you will find a doctor willing to give you an unnecessary vaccine shot, but you will have to pay the full cost for it.

It's no more necessary or unnecessary than a yearly influenza vaccine. Which is why I've been rooting for the Novavax version to be the norm and more widely available than the mRNA versions.

Do you know if the vaccine for the earlier, more deadly strains is still available?

#27 | Posted by visitor_

Actually, this isn't really an accurate statement. Overall lethality was a wash because while Omicron had a case fatality rate lower than Delta, it was far more infectious and had a higher R0. Less infections but more "deadly" = more infections but less "deadly."

In any case, of course, it's not available. Every strain circulating now is descended from Omicron.

You all are up to date with your 18th booster?

If only you could be up to your 18th functional neuron...

It's actually advanced stages TDS. It doesn't matter what Trump does, it's bad.

Hey idiot, two three things.

1. anybody who says TDS is a farking moron.
2. almost everything Trump does is bad because almost everything Trump does is for the benefit of Trump.
3. his trade war nonsense is objectively bad.

You should take it as a sign that your clinging to Home Depot as the only true reality in contrast to the umpteen others as a clear sign that you're not clearly assessing reality. You're slobbering on Trump's nuts because you're a gullible buffoon.

It is fun to watch liberals squirm in their own hypocrisy.
#23 | Posted by humtake

What's hilarious is watching you cram everything into you low hanging fruit, stupid a*& hypocrisy argument.

Trump has done no such thing, nor does one have to accept poorly thought out and executed tariffs or poor labor conditions overseas. In your attempt to force a logical fallacy strawman you yourself are committing the only logical fallacy in the argument.

Ok moron, IF costs go up. Sure.

#24 | Posted by fishpaw

LOL that's the entire crux of the argument.

Multitudes of other companies are saying they will have to raise prices.

You're clinging to the one standout claiming it's reflective of the coming reality.

BTW do you really need to be told that prices will increase?

Does that feel like freedom to you, Zed?

#19 | Posted by BellRinger

Oh look, this idiot suddenly claims to be all about freedom again.

Meanwhile he loves the job Rubio is doing in sending migrants to third party country prisons without due process.

STFU idiot. You're an anti-American pile of s*&^ who wouldn't know freedom if it kicked you in your a*&.

Wait until we find out he's in South Sudan and the administration claims they have no responsibility to bring him back...

Nah they won't go away. They revel in their stupidity and gullibility.

They'll be here dutifully repeating the administration's lines and excuses.

Sure, because the CEO is a GOP donor they won't raise their prices?

That is the level of sycophancy we are currently in, yes.

But we'll see how the board reacts to that, won't we?

Hmmm, interesting that their stock hasn't tanked if their costs have risen considerably. I won't explain it to you.

#18 | Posted by fishpaw

I will explain to you that these discussions are regarding FUTURE price increases you ---- moron.

If only everyone's prayers for your disingenuous piece of s*&^ dumba^& to go silent would be heard...

He's been a great pick IMO

More glowing support from the most insistent non Trump supporter.

Anti-American scum.

It's amazing to watch lefties claim she has a right to assault enforcement officers.

It's amazing to watch you act like you don't gargle Trump's balls.
