Hold on... People tell me I'm not at all likely to die of delta now that I've been vaccinated. If the unvaxxed are only 11x more likely, then the vaccines do not work as advertised. It's like ... The rabies vaccine provides o

The government will not and can not look into the provenance of your belief. Whether or not this is an 'actual christian belief' is not something the federal or state government can comment on. If the man holds it sincerely then t

And in the united states it does. A religion is any deeply held belief. That's the only standard.

Not due to covid. Unfortunately lots of childhood illnesses around, many much more dangerous than covid. This is not controversial. It's just empirical observation.

Keep telling that to yourself. Getting rid of a prosecutor investigating your son's company because of 'corruption' smells of corruption. That more members of the administration supported it just smells widespread corruption.

Yes. Many states do tax gambling establishments if not outright ban them. Why not? They are vices.

As a conservative, I'm against this law as it is government overreach. Instead, Texas should tax Facebook several millions of dollars for all Texas residents who are on Facebook (and all social media with more than X subscribers). The

Well what is the effect and purpose of the vax other than to make people lax about social distancing and masks. The vaccine was correctly developed expressly for the purposes of rendering both unnecessary. If the vax had worked to sterilize

You should always validate input to a database. Data ought to be validated at the edge, which in this case is the http endpoints. You should not rely on internal services (a database) to do validation One of the dangers in switching to high

If you consider abortion to be direct murder, there is no right to abortion. Refusing a covid vaccine is at best making a decision that may kill someone else. We allow these sorts of decisions all the time whether it be not limiting the amo

Funny... That's what many predicted would happen six months ago when the vaccine was available. And your argument is that by the time the onerous regulation becomes unnecessary everyone will be used to it. Kind of like how the patriot

When it first came out, the data made the vax an obviously net positive. Given what we now know about cases amongst the vaccinated and how they can spread it... It's no longer an obvious positive. The vax has made covid more pervasive

There's a difference between asking people to do something and asking them to do nothing though. In general, bodily autonomy is important and this the best abortion defense in my opinion as an anti abortionist.

You're right. Most republicans I've talked with, myself included, want someone like trump but more conservative and more effective. Given that that person has not yet materialized, it's the party of trump until they appear.

I think we should handle social media like we do smoking. They must print a giant warning warning it's addictive and dangerous and they must pay for advertising campaigns against their product.

Some days it's difficult to tell which organization is truly in charge of the united states. Nominally for example, the state governments are in charge of things like medical care regulation, but increasingly unelected national busines
