Detox's political thread

You’re suggesting the dr didn’t know these were abnormal circumstances? 

The Federalist: 

“Donations to Black Lives Matter-related causes since May were $10.6bn”

Well if it was in May maybe the good doctor thought the virus would simply go away with the hot weather. In all serious, what is this doctors background? Is he a virologist? For context, at the point when those comments were made, if it was in May, Pfizer had already narrowed their field of potential vaccines down to four and were experimenting on humans. That's unheard of. What you are asking of this random doctor, whom I know nothing about and am not defending, is for him to anticipate policy. Not be knowledgable in medicine. 

He said Trumps claim of a vaccine before the end of the year was “preposterous”. 

And here we are. 

I like this one too from CNN’s Jessica Husemen in May 

“Go ahead and flag this tweet for when we do not have that vaccine by the end of the year” 

https://twitter.com/jessicahuseman/status/1260984699784216584?s=21

Wow. I guessed Facebook. Turns out it was twitter. I'm splitting hairs a bit, which is wrong because i've made it clear I have no issue with you and would even be up for catching rounds if the opportunity presented so let me back it up. First question, what are you defining as a "black lives matter related cause"? Second, where do you get that none of the money went to benefit black people?

Now that the election is over the Dr has changed his stance 

“I am personally comfortable with the process and I think you should be, too. I will be getting the vaccine as soon as I can. And I’ll encourage family and friends do the same.” 

https://twitter.com/irwinredlenermd/status/1337863201220923392?s=21

Facebook and twitter aren’t sources, they’re platforms. 

Again, nobody could have anticipated policy. It is quite preposterous that we would be shipping and issuing a vaccine to be administered to human beings with such limited trials, time wise, but these are preposterous times. It's not ideal. I don't really get what your point is. If it'a simply that the media takes any opportunity to counter Trump, going as far as speaking to things they don't know a damn thing about, then we are in agreement. If you are making the point that this vaccine is a victory for this administration, well, the facts just don't support that.

So is the Federalist.

Why would the Dr say that Trumps claim was “preposterous” and that having a safe vaccine was “impossible” and now say that the vaccine is safe and he would tell his family to get vaccinated?  

Rhetorical question. 

The media would rather see us fail and be able to say Trump was wrong than have us succeed and have to admit he was right. The media horrible though. Not just the "mainstream media". Not just leftwing media or right wing media. All media. Social media is the worst and will probably be the downfall of our society.

WRONG AGAIN STU.

CNN, CNBC, The NYT, NBC, CBS......and the list goes on and on and on. Mainstream media is where it all starts. 

@gambleholic63

 What exactly am I wrong about? And what have I been wrong about in the past to predicate me being "wrong again"? This will sound incredibly smug so I apologize to brother Doja in advance but i'm not generally wrong about much.

And notice that you say, "It all starts with mainstream media" then you list a bunch of media outlets omitting Fox News, the biggest news network in the country. Was that by design? Is it all mainstream media or just those with whom you disagree? Do you have any unbiased opinions?

Meet The Press 

As one of the first vaccinated people in New Haven is planning on traveling after the second dose, @VinGuptaMD reacts:

"Just because you get vaccinated after the second dose does not mean you should be traveling. ... You could still get infected and pass it along to others."

"Everything still applies until all of us gets that two-dose regimen. We don't think that'll happen til June or July."

“Right now, we still don't have definitive proof that vaccination protects you from any type of infection, just the severe forms of illness that lead you to the ICU.”

San Francisco to rename Abraham Lincoln High School because former president did not demonstrate that 'black lives mattered to him'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9055391/San-Francisco-rename-Lincoln-High-School-didnt-black-lives-mattered-him.html

Jeez. This shit's getting out of hand. If Lincoln is on the chopping block, Wash is definitely getting changed. What about Balboa. What about Galileo. Everyone knows Galileo hated trannies.

Sorry Stu. I hit the trails for a 3 hour mountain bike ride today. Just now seeing this. Honestly, I can't recall the thing you were wrong about before, but I recall being in strong disagreement with you recently and saying so in a different thread. On this issue, it is my opinion that you are wrong about our mainstream media. The corruption lies with the left (CNN and their cohorts). The promote false headlines (Trump/Russia) and suppress true headlines (Tony B) over and over and over. They are not journalists in the true sense of their job description.  

I like Ron DeSantis 

We good my man

Im a fan as well. Hope he’s on the ticket in 2024. Cotton is too much of a good ole boy to steal any votes from the left

DeSantis has been caught screwing around with the covid #'s here in Florida. You can read all about it in the Sun-Sentinel.

The man cannot be trusted.

Joe Biden was one of the biggest supporters of the Iraq invasion. Arguably one of the biggest mistakes in American history. 

You can read all about it on the internet.
