  good news bad news pandemic and kingdom halls.. first the bad news, coming out of israel - one of the first countries to push total vaccination.

  the news is the vaccine especially the pfizer one looks like it wears off and hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated.

  @OnTheWayOut: The data from Israel suggest that the vaccines do not reduce the odds. Being in the hospital was considered a 'severe case of COVID' pre-vaccines and that was what the vaccines were supposed to prevent if not prevent the infection altogether (like any other regular vaccine would). If 50% of the people in the hospital have had the vaccines in a population where 80% are vaccinated (and for all intents and purposes, group immunity should've been reached) the odds of reducing aren't all that good.

  The people in wheelchairs from polio were the "non-severe" polio cases. Do you think people would've found the vaccine to be successful if you had only a 50/50 chance of it preventing a "severe" case but only if you stayed home from work forever and lived in a bubble for the rest of your life and the disease continued putting people in wheelchairs and keeps infecting and killing those that work outside the home?

  No, people would've said the vaccines do nothing at all at preventing polio, and moved on. We knew about germ theory well before vaccines, nobody suggested we should live forever in a bubble in order to never get sick.

  It's a real thing, people are sick of it. The movies aren't bouncing back even though most states are open, they blame COVID but it's really people staying away from the Marvel China-promo flick, the endless berating. It's especially noticeable in TV shows, they'll cram in some disjointed stories about blacks, cops and white supremacy, totally irrelevant to the story, even series that made fun of this 2-3 seasons ago have gotten their writers replaced and are now cramming it in with out-of-context flashbacks as to when racism supposedly happened previously in the show.

  Remember when HITTING A WOMAN was just WRONG!

  just a few years ago, any man that slapped a women was considered a piece of shit.

  today people are are paying and cheering to see a man knocking the shit out of a woman.

  what feminists, social warriors, and gender recognition fighters don't realized is that their actions are actually causing the world to revert back to the days when the world treated women as property, second class species, with no rights whatsoever, whose only value was a sex instrument for the male species.

  I think the Williams sisters already got schooled on that front having been beat by a nearly retired second rate tennis player back to back. They adjusted their claims they could beat any man not in the top 100 to any man not in the top 350. They’ve refused every offer since.

  There have been a ton of tennis matches between retired tennis players and women half their age in their prime, the only where the female won was where the men intentionally threw the game. Djokovic famously swapped places with a ball boy during an exhibition match and with a 30-0 handicap the female still only came in 3-2

  You said sex doesn’t differentiate until the development of sex hormones (that is puberty or 8-13 for those uninformed when the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are produced in the pituitary gland). Sex hormones has nothing to do with the development of biological sex, before puberty there are already all sorts of things that make boys into boys and girls into girls.

  As far as the differences, the genital ridge isn’t externally apparent but the SRY gene is present all along, in mice it has been shown SRY starts expressing just days after insemination. Obviously a gynecologist is not a biologist, they cannot with the naked eye determine the sex yet, nor do they have any interest in endangering the child to test, but it is already differentiating before it becomes externally visible. The notion that until week 8 it’s just a coin flip whether you get a girl or a boy is unscientific bullshit.

  You can determine sex from the moment the insemination started developing cells, due to the presence of SRY which is not present in female.

  Removing testes does not prevent or invert male muscle and skeletal build, that’s a very old and inaccurate theory. Once you have developed the skeleton of a man, you cannot reduce it with estrogen, at best you get osteoporosis. By 21 your body will neither grow nor shrink significantly, exercise can adjust it somewhat but you’re pretty much fixed. If you remove the testes or give estrogen and puberty blockers to a healthy boy to prevent a healthy muscle and skeletal build in puberty, because you are of the belief his biology doesn’t match your world view, that is just child abuse.

  Please stop spouting scientifically inaccurate bullshit.

  All human adults, when they were still babies in the womb were for a period of time anatomically of ambiguous/neutral gender (with mostly female looking external genitalia). I know that because I have seen such mentioned and illustrated in college textbooks on human sexuality.

  That is utterly wrong propagandistic garbage.

  A child develops visually distinct male or female organs as soon as 6 weeks into pregnancy which is when the baby is the size of a grain of rice, sometimes before the women even knows she's pregnant. Just because YOU can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there, we have powerful imaging techniques these days that can definitely discriminate.

  Whether they develop male or female is dependent on the chromosomes, so whether someone is male or female and a ton of other attributes is decided at the time of conception. It's not a random process that happens later in life.

  Whether someone identifies as male or female though is highly dependent on their environment. Children that are abused at a young age more often develop transgender attributes.

  Adolescents that became transgender are up to twice as likely to have been victims of psychological abuse (odds ratio [OR] = 1.84), physical abuse (OR = 1.61), and sexual abuse (OR = 2.04) before they became sexually aware.

  The researchers found that 73, 39, and 19 percent of transgender adolescents reported psychological abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse, respectively. Which is insane, nearly the ENTIRE community of transgenders are child abuse survivors and the majority go without appropriate counseling for the trauma they experienced.

  Get Vaccinated or Get laid Off

  i’m personally for the vaccine, took two shots and would take a third if asked.

  but i know a friend of mine that doesn’t want to take the vaccine who works for the government and now is faced with this choice: get vaccinated or get laid off.

  i don’t agree with this measure as it is totalitarian and runs against my core belief in individual freedom.. now, with that being said, what i don’t understand is that my friend still won’t get vaccinated.

  @SadElder: The polio vaccine was never mandated until it was proven safe, even then there were protests and to date there are groups of people (Amish etc) that don't vaccinate. Nobody ever cared that they didn't though, if you're scared about getting sick, get vaccinated, if you're not, you don't. There is no reason to say you HAVE to vaccinate against a flu-like disease, if you think people will die, that's on them isn't it?

  @slimboyfat: that’s what they did in the EU, as a result, the EU developed no treatment, the US paid EU manufacturers to create the patented treatments we have today. Biden was going to do the same thing by making the patents open, he quickly turned around because the manufacturers said they would simply halt production and let others develop them, then Joe found out there is nowhere near the necessary capacity in any other system. If there is no incentive, nobody will develop the cure.

  @thomascovenant:

  In 1900, 30 percent of all deaths in the United States occurred in children less than 5 years of age compared to just 1.4 percent in 1999 (CDC, 1999a; NCHS, 2001a). In 1800s infant mortality was 46%, so nearly half the children born died before 5. Most of those in the early 1900s were from polio, MMR and the other childhood diseases we vaccinated away, antibiotics at that point were the invention of the 1800s, vaccines were those of the 1900s and were nearly 100% effective.

  Hence why families had 8-12 children, just to have spares on hand.

  look at India and other places where these vaccines aren’t prevalent to see what it was like before 1950.

  Almost everyone alive today in the West has no clue what it was like to grow up around death so now when 0.1% of the population dies a few years prematurely, we freak out and let the government take away all of our freedoms. And we mandate vaccines that are ~50-80% effective, not at preventing death but “reducing the symptoms”.

  
  

  The average age of death was 37, not because people didn’t grow to their 70s, they still did, but a TON of people, primarily children died before that. Ask your grandparents and great grandparents if they’re still around, almost everyone had a child die, this was a normal way of life.

  @sea breeze: there is a fourth option - God could allow evil to happen (let’s say evil was a free will thing) but protects the innocent and punishes the evil ones.

  If a god has perfect judgment, why do we on earth do so much better at judging even as flawed as it is.

  God may judge sin, he doesn’t execute any judgements when it is relevant.
