I work in a affluent democratic suburb just west of Boston and maybe 2 people wear a mask out of one hundred . Last year some would openly talk about getting their n’th booster . It seems to me most have realized , with all respect to them..(because I really like these folks ) that the booster “drive“ was a aggressive ** display of corporate marketing levered via various media to leverage opinion shaping to boost revenue** . It’s basic capitalism in this day and age and if corporates didn’t push this (As much as govt and regulators allow) , they would lose value and their jobs . It is what it is , it’s part of human nature and *always* will be . Doesn’t mean people getting jabs will have xyz happening (like the other “side”) likes to say, but the risks do seem to increase the more jabs one receives and there are enough unknowns regarding long term data. 13 hours ago, powderfreak said: I’m not sure why my mind went here but this sums up why people are so divided on every little thing. Should be able to just say it’s laughable and a comedy show to get a point across… but we all love to make sure people we don’t agree with are labeled something further, like nutcases and lunatics. And we see it everywhere now, even Presidents.

WhitinsvilleWX Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 DD used to be better. The consistency was pretty good. Now its a crap shoot. Depends if there some Jagoff making the coffee and burning the shyte out of it or not. The donuts suck because they aren't made local anymore. One or 2 centralized bakeries and they are shipped out. , Blech! On the mRNA vax, one thing I really neglected taking into account and that's everyone's efficiency at making the spike protein antigen is probably different. So while everyone got the same dose of mRNA, the ability of the person to make more or less spike is different. People who make too much can absolutely have deleterious side effects. And the virus mutates to damn fast. Nobody saw that either. I still believe in the technology, but a respiratory virus has never been easy to vax for, so I'm not sure this was the best test of how well and mRNA vax works. It's edemic in the population now. It'll be here forever. Get on with life. And we have a guy that works the front desk at work and he wears a duckbill N95 everyday for the last 3 years. They'll bury him with it I'm sure. And he's had covid twice. Go figure. Top 10 spring day here in Whitinsville today, IMO 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
