Why do you hate Afghan women? That money is necessary to secure a stable and free Afghanistan. Speaking of which, I haven't checked the Mideast thread in a while, I wonder how the peace deal is holding up.

Reading more about Abbot testing positive and it's clear we'll never see again the fun insanity of Trump's COVID case. These high level GOP ghouls are too smart and evil to actually believe what they're telling people. While banning mask mandates they're tested twice daily while triple vaccinated and getting intensive pre-emptive medical care the second they test positive. Sure Regeneron might not be effective against delta but Imdevimab still is and I bet Abbot's doctor's know that.

Meanwhile Trump was such an actual fool he refused to get tested even after getting visibly sick and resisted care until hospitalization was imminent. And of course he live-tweeted it. It's not happening again, and people getting excited about Abbot's case are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Can't be more disappointing then Trump surviving.

Unpopular opinion, that whole situation was already so over the top and perfect that even Trump surviving doesn't really detract from it.

Certainly wouldn't have objected to the ventilator-related outcome, but then we wouldn't have seen him gasping like a fish on the white house steps. Take joy where you can.

That's true, and we wouldn't have gotten 1/6 if he'd croaked. I retract my statement.

One benefit of doing an end run around my state's lousy rollout is that they still think I'm not vaxxed so I get invites to vaccination sites. Might as well get a booster before school starts for the kiddies.

So we have to go to Yakima/Trump country next week for our interview at USCIS offices. The fully vaccinated rate is 44% and the current positivity rate is 25.2%. It’s one of the worst counties in the state in regards to COVID.

So do I finally join respirator crew for the interview? They also have extremely unhealthy air quality going on due to a large wildfire nearby that is minimally contained. I have one 3m respirator I got last year for my wife because she was pregnant, never used, and thinking of buying another for myself just for the interview. I imagine we have to spend 1-2 hours in the drat office at least from start to finish. gently caress my life and gently caress covid and anti-vaxxer chuds.

Is there a big USCIS office in Yakima? Why in god's name would there be something there? If you have to move to Yakima for work, don't.

For sure, not taking rumors seriously right now and the musings of some posters here are good entertainment. But if it in fact turns out the pediatric vaccine can't be approved due to adverse effects there's no good next step. Either indefinite isolation until another vaccine candidate drags it's way through the trial process or face to bloodshed and send kids back to schools.

The fact that China managed to already approve a pediatric COVID vaccine gives some hope that the adverse effects can't be too bad. Also lol China already has a pediatric vaccine while the US admin is simultaneously decrying the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and sending kids back to school without their shots. It's such a blatant national logistical and intellectual failure it's almost too obvious to point out.

If there aren't a lot of side effects in China or Cuba, it might be time for all us well-paid WFH computer touchers to go on a Cuban vacation next January...
