Dealing with a mental midget isn't even worth the 35 seconds it took me to type this response.
No, I think you're that stupid. The whole thrust of comments and arguments like yours is being misinterpreted and misapplied by anti-vaxxers who advance a study like this, and contradicted by the one I've cited, to promote it in such a way as to diminish the validity of being vaccinated no matter what the study ultimately recommends...

The current motivation is that we are doing some traveling next week and the week after.  That is crummy motivation of course, plenty of viruses circulating locally.  It is human nature though.  Way back when, more than 20 years ago I did some wills as part of a general practice law firm.  Virtually everyone came in for a will just before a trip by plane, even though they were probably just as likely to die driving around town.
I've had the two boosters and when the omnicron shot becomes available in September, I'll get that too! I'll follow that up with a Flu shot in October. My guess is that they'll eventually be offering and recommending a yearly Flu/Covid shot, perhaps simultaneously...
With all the anti-vax Trumptoids running around, it's the obvious way to go...

No monetary incentives in my neck of the woods so I'd consider that icing on the cake. In other news, Ivermectin has again shown itself to be worthless in treating Covid:

But don't worry, the vaccines are completely safe.  
Not that unfounded crap again...

Still, the CDC and the FDA never meant it to be a database to prove a vaccine's safety or effectiveness.
Leave it to a con like Rich to tout something he cites from the CDC as long as it fits his script while he simultaneously blasts it for mask mandates and vaccinations with the latter injected into him only after a stern talking to by his sister, just like a little boy...

Give That Moderate Republican In COLORADO A Cigar!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Colorado state Sen. Kevin Priola announced on Monday he is switching to the Democratic Party, saying he could not “in good conscience” be silent about Republicans who baselessly cast doubt on the validity of the 2020 election and the existence of climate change."
"Priola, a moderate who served four terms in the Colorado House before arriving in the state Senate in 2017, said the GOP has changed since the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, and he had hoped the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol would cause Republicans to distance themselves from former President Trump."

Let's make those who DIDN'T go to college PAY the tuition of the well off who did. Dictator Joe UPDATED!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Without going into specific examples of whataboutism, there's plenty of equivalency in what the GOP has done in terms of corporate welfare, both in subsidies and tax breaks, that dwarfs student loan forgiveness so righteous indignation on the part of the right is hypocritical at best. 
I have mixed feelings about the program given the fact that I paid for my daughter's college tuition and I prepared for it when she was a child by establishing a fund for it. In other words, I think I acted responsibly in helping her become a success that she is today. Still, some of the tuition reimbursements for certain institutions that have failed are understandable in my opinion.

"This bothers you?
Goes to the veracity of your statements.

I don't think you can remember the last time you didn't vote Republican.
