Re: Team Trump v/s Everyone

Doesn't make much difference. People in the conservative media misinformation bubble would never hear that Fox people lied regardless. People outside of the conservative media misinformation bubble know they lied. Well, I guess one could say maybe Fox could've been made to have its people go on the ...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19

No, it's because they are looking at what the data suggest instead of going with conspiracy theories like ''It's because they get money from the government and have to toe the line.'' Bro. Conspiracy theories are whispered, not called out in broad daylight. That is pretty obviously not true.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19

if what you are talking about is my claim that the vaccines are safe and effective the science does back that. The initial clinical trials showed them to be safe and effective over the short term. Since then, there have been extensive monitoring for evidence of adverse effects as well as numerous o...

She didn't say she can't spread the virus after being vaccinated. His concern was that he perceived the vaccine as being developed over a short time frame. As Fauci tried to get him to understand, the technology behind it was developed over a long time frame. Also, there is nothing wrong with appea...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19

I don't know how hard it is to convince Americans of that but you need to ask yourself why you can't convince the overwhelming majority of people in scientific disciplines related to the topic of it. The consensus of virologists, epidemiologists, and molecular biologists is that what you apparently...
