You mean income. If insurance companies are covering it, the x-rays are a revenue stream.

But what's the angle on that?

I figured it was preventative and, therefore, a cost saving measure.

It turns out, deplorable was an apt description.

Are we really asking why the Republicans don't hold themselves to their own standards?

With a straight face?

This idiot thinks immigrants can vote ...

This kind of rhetoric is all over X.

Hard to tell how much it is bot traffic to make the real accounts feel more mainstream, but there are multiple influencers I know are real pushing this.

If I had to guess, it's insurance companies driving this.

The one thing that's reliably free at the dentist is x rays.

This is awful.

"If he's so bad, why is 50% of the country supporting him?"

That's a question beneath the dignity of any serious person.

Just started watching this.

Less than two minutes in and it's already a biased pile of dinosaur s&^%.

Mr Botox is a pathetic POS.

Good.

I had to call a company for customer support recently.

Part of that required emailing me info.

Within hours, I had junk mail from them as well. For the next few days it was 4-5 emails a day.

All without me signing up for a single thing, nor agree to receive them.

When I clicked the unsubscribe link, it took me to a site with a long list of checked boxes for various topics the company was involved in where I had to uncheck anything I wanted to unsubscribe from. Despite having never subscribed to any of them.

Also, I had to read it three times to get all the double negatives to understand that unclicked meant unsubscribed.

You're a ------- idiot. Shut your ------- pie hole, dumbass.

Alright, which idiot righty has returned with their latest sock puppet?

I'm guessing Jak or Chairborne.

As expected, gravy runs here to post her newly issued marching orders.

Why is it that EVERY error in the preliminary report favors Democrats and conveniently form talking points that the Democrats use when everyone knows that the corrected data gets next to zero coverage?

Why is it that every MAGA moron turns everything into a faux grievance?

I'm guessing that the initial numbers were issued as "estimates" because the data wasn't fully tabulated.

So it's no surprise that numbers changed.

But you're right, I'm sure. It's all a conspiracy to get MAGA idiots. Because the bottom of our societal barrel matters that much...

Bellrung is surprised to learn that people who sign up to potentially die on other people's orders lose their jobs for not following an order they willingly followed when they signed up.

Members of the military were discharged for refusing the jab

FFS please stop calling it "the jab."

What I fail to understand is we've already been through a Trump Presidency in which none of the things Democrats wildly projected through the media occurred.

I think you fail to understand a lot of things.

For instance, why this statement is completely asinine.

A vaccination for a virus so deadly, you had to be tested to even know if you had it.

Tell me you're clueless without telling me you're clueless.

I'm sorry, but anyone that votes Trump for a third time should lose their right to vote.

You've gotten three chances to not be suckered by this idiot and you were too stupid to not vote for him? You're done.

Statistical analyses show coverage of Trump has been overwhelmingly negative

Trump IS overwhelming negative, so that tracks ...

How could they have lost to such a uniquely awful opponent?

By tying their hands with an awful choice four years ago and then playing the it's her turn as VP' card despite's it being a poor choice four years ago.

The only reason their stupidity hasn't cost us everything is that the GOP is too extreme and ham handed to capitalize on it.

(BTW the headline is hilariously blind to reality)

On topic, I saw this paper and thought it an interesting read.

However, there's a few things at issue.

There's more than one way to activate B cells, one of which doesn't require receptor crosslinking. In fact, most B cell responses against viruses aren't via simple receptor cross linking because it does require a highly repetitive antigen (target).

Second, there's a common mistake in the media to call antibodies "immunity," when they're only a single aspect of immunity. Antibodies wane naturally after the infection is cleared. They have to. But that's why memory responses are important.

Finally, we're still in a time frame where new strains have novel enough changes that it can get around antibodies but not necessarily T cells. It's the T cell responses that are likely responsible for continued far lower numbers of hospitalizations and deaths that we see with newer strains.

Exactly the type of response a childish mind would come up with.

You do know the Walz accusations have been shown to be fabricated, right?

I've never had a case of Covid. What I have had is myocarditis right after I had my first and only booster. My initial vaccine was the two shot Pfizer routine and I had no major ill effects. I don't remember what the booster was, but I know it wasn't Pfizer.

So you're a boy of 12-14 years of age?

That explains sooo much, you have no idea.

1 million forgivable loans to Black entrepreneurs and new pathways to help Black Americans succeed in the legalized marijuana industry

So her idea is to stereotype them? Simply offer free stuff for weed?

Who the hell is running her campaign. Jesus, it's worse than I thought it would be...

Bellrung couldn't even wait for Trump to do it before exactly what I said he'd do in the post immediately before his laughable post.

But then again, he thinks regurgitating nonsense from Jonathan Turley is crafting an argument...

And when he does it, the response from righties here (assuming we even talk about it...) will be "but this is what you liberals wanted, isn't it? why are you upset that he's doing what you want?" even though that's a. not true and b. a typical dodge that will allow them to avoid condemning it as forcefully as they have the boogeyman version of it they talk about now.

Rebuilding it.
