Treating illegal immigrants well is just positive reinforcement. We want to deter illegal immigration, not reward it

I saw a chance of reward for people in really shitty health who would be fucked if they got covid. The vaccine was a great thing for them.

But for the other 99.5% of us. Pointless. Risk with little to no reward.

And yet they demanded we all get it

Dumping little kids out into the street to freeze isn't evil?

They took them to the politicians who carry on and on about "how much they care" about these people... isn't that the best place for them??

Truth is its not. Cause the democrats don't actually care about immigrants, or citizens. The US can't solve everyone's problems. They were never supposed to be here in the first place. Illegal immigrants come here to escape the problems in their countries but often that just means bringing those problems here

I wouldn't say its pure evil.

How do you treat intruders that break into your house? Do you serve them dinner and say hey come sit by the fire
All depends. If the intruders are "breaking in to my house" simply because they want a better life for themself and their family, then I just might serve them dinner and tell them to come sit next to the fire.

Plus, I would think anyone with an ounce of decency would agree that as 99 basically said, it is pure evil to punish homeless children by dumping them outside subfreezing temps.

This is where randy and curious can have their dates.

Everyone else just be wary of stepping in where randy and curious date.

This is what we were all told and promised, and it's a good reason to want to have a vaccine. Were these actual vaccines in the traditional sense, it would have been great news. Most vaccines take 5-10 years to perfect. The other obvious problem was that no SARS vaccine had ever been close to successful. I gave it 99% chance of failing.

Didn't "fail".
Vaccine has been "successful" for Covid.
Do you not believe flu vaccines are "successful"?
Obviously they successfully came up with a Covid vaccine.
"This new mRNA thing" isn't "new".
I believe you when you say you could see risk but I don't believe you for a second when you say all you could see was no chance of reward. If you truly did, then you were wrong anyways.

The science tells us they are usually about 20% effective at best. People I know who take flu shots are usually getting the flu every year. I've never had a flu shot in my life and have avoided it for over a decade (knock on wood). I honestly think taking vitamin C and D is more effective than a flu shot.

Do you just shit out numbers and wipe your ass and see what sticks to the toilet paper?
"Science" tells us they are more than 20% effective. That being said, like you, I have had a good run of not getting the flu when I wasn't vaccinated. The past few years I have chosen to get vaccinated because my doctor explained to me I am at a higher risk of complications from the flu than I used to be.
I honestly think people who are at risk for flu complications are better off getting a flu shot than taking vitamin C and D. My Doctor is the one who convinced me. Although I realize he's not perfect, I trust him more than I trust people who don't know what the fuck they are taking about.

You will have any credibility on this matter only when you have punished EVERY employer who has so far hired an unauthorized worker (they can be present in this country legally, but you’re too busy demagoguing the issue to understand the difference).

Whatever you spout will just be bigotry until you have the Officers of EVERY meat-packing company behind bars. Then you can have a serious discussion on this matter

pdub, you and I have our issues, and I still believe you to be a dork, but can we get a rule that if you never post about sports on here that you get banned? Who is StayCurious? Dildo spends his days just talking anti-vax with no contribution to even the sports turf wars (KJ is a wing, for example). At least Randy goes to the bball board and tries to sound coherent.
