It is akin to adding a deadbolt to your front door after you've recently installed a chain door guard. Makes things better, not worse. Your title, "Covid overload", makes me think you might be under the impression that receiving the vaccination is the same as contracting COVID-19. It is not. The vaccination does not include injecting you with SARS-CoV-2 and it does not result in you contracting COVID-19.

I find that a proportional response to violence is often the best course of action. I alway told my children to walk away if possible but they should not stand for being abused by another. It's always going to be a judgement call, and things can turn out badly, but unfortunately the world is not a fair place and it is important that we look out for our own best interests.

If you want this conversation to go anywhere you are going to have to be a bit more free with the details. -
Yes. It has.

zapatos replied to fredreload's topic in Speculations
What is the significance of removing the fertilized egg? Couldn't you just place a skin cell in the location without having first removed a different cell from that location? -
Who coined the phrase "freedom of speech"?
zapatos replied to ScienceNostalgia101's topic in Politics
Since you are opposed to redefining words I can only surmise that you believe people are literally being launched beneath the wheels of large, multi-passenger conveyances. -
Who coined the phrase "freedom of speech"?
zapatos replied to ScienceNostalgia101's topic in Politics
Agreed. In the US people are referring to their Rights guaranteed under the Constitution. The claim is frequently made by the same people who discuss their Right to bear arms. "Freedom of Speech" is a direct quote, and people in the US know the phrase from the Constitution. It is taught beginning in early elementary school. There are certainly other legitimate uses of the phrase, but if asking how it is generally used in the US, the answer is as a violation of a Constitutional Right. -
Oops! We can only do our best.

It varies from individual to individual, case to case.

Possible Nobel Prizewinning Discovery

You are expecting us to go look for the evidence? You don't seem to know how this works. -
Doesn't it take individuals deciding that is their purpose?

Glad you think so much of me.

Why would you say that? -
hijack from An infinite and eternal universe

The evidence rather strongly implies otherwise. -

I think the anger comes from our country being represented by people who make what are obviously polarizing statements that hurt, rather than help, our overall situation.

Strictly speaking, it is the south, not southeast. When speaking of the south in the United States, the reference does not include southern California, New Mexico, etc. It refers to the southern states in roughly the eastern half of the country. It's a history thing.
