Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Writing with some updated numbers for those who think Florida has done a good job with COVID-19. Note that Florida's governor has appointed out of the mainstream public health officials who undermine confidence in the vaccines and has, himself, also worked to do that. As of the day before the first ...

Re: Trump vs. Biden Part 2
I don't do that at all. I look at the data for patterns just like I look at environmental data while doing my job. The idea is that you look at the data and ask yourself if you would see anything to suggest a change if you didn't already have some idea as to why there might have been a change. And ...

Apply the same scrutiny you show with defending Trump and Putin but again, use unbiased sources. His work was validated quite ...

Re: Trump vs. Biden Part 2
As i've typed many times before, Trump did not juice the economy. The economy was pretty much the same economy as it was under Obama. i've provided numerical evidence of that assertion many times before but I will do it again.

i'd have to expend more effort than I want to right now to find posts I made about it but I did interpret polling back then to indicate abortion would be a big issue in the mid terms. it was not showing up as the TOP issue but it was up there.

Re: Trump vs. Biden Part 2
I didn't say Trump was anti-globalist. I said he had a national economic plan that was more focused on Making America Great Again than establishment candidates. The interesting piece to me is that I don't think Trump was able to get any big measures through (tax cuts were a freebie though), but was...

Re: Trump vs. Biden Part 2

For some reason, people tend to think Republican President means better economy and more fiscal responsibility. I've always thought that ma...

Debt Ceiling
I think what the Republicans are doing is horrible. I think it's an example of behavior illustrating why it was foolish for people to vote to put that Party in control of any aspect of our elected government. The outlook for the future would be much, much better right now if the Democrats had retain...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Now for why I came tonight. It's to document the fact that people qualified to know never thought that you can not be infected, cannot develop COVID-19, and cannot die if you are vaccinated. Instead, the idea is that the risk is reduced. First there are the clinical trials. Here is the Moderna clini...

I don't know if his analysis is incorrect. I'm questioning whether he should have unilaterally made those changes. I'm also asking if he's shown where the data from the study backs up his analysis and changes. I could care less what color Lapado's skin is. I'm skeptical of science/medical administr...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
There was never a consensus that vaccination meant you could not be infected, couldn't spread it, could not get ill, couldn't go to the hospital, and couldn't die if you got vaccinated. The consensus was that vaccination would reduce the risk of those things. And it has done that. Also, everyone un...

Biden is 19th. Trump is 43rd. So Biden is rated better...
