@christokir @theblaze Um, what's your point @christokir?

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @wil_da_beast630 For you to minimize the bravery and sacrifice and RISK of those on the frontlines at the beginning and throughout this pandemic is the worst.

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @wil_da_beast630 With all due respect, you weren't in NYC. You don't remember correctly what we knew when. Healthy people were dying OF covid on greater numbers before we learned about the disease and how to treat these patients.

@christokir @wil_da_beast630 This observation in hindsight is cowardly and disrespectful to frontline workers who worked throughout the pandemic, including at the beginning when no one knew the actuarial risks. Still, 165K Americans under 65 hehe died.

@jmasseypoet This is called a novel virus for a reason. Public health professionals are doing the best they can with the data and information available and they are adapting as things progress. There's much we still don't know but it doesn't mean guidance is nonsensical or arbitrary.

I recently disputed a @Hertz rental car charge through @Chase @Visa. After the dispute was resolved in my favor, Hertz simply put the charge on my @AmericanExpress card they had on file. Is this criminal fraud? I'll be using @Avis.

@Happy_Hiram @christokir @walterkirn The republic isn't ending over vaccine mandates. It used to be patriotic to get vaccinated!

@christokir @walterkirn Are you really so oppressed? You and your peers have as much or more freedom - and practical ability - to think and move and live and work than almost anyone in human history.

In the spring of 1903, newspapers around the country started printing a quack assertion that lettuce prevented smallpox better than vaccination. It was presented as fact and went mostly unchallenged by newspapers editors. Here's the Knoxville Journal Tribune March 13, 1903: 1/

@christokir @wil_da_beast630 I'm not sure I'm smart enough to get your point, although it's beautifully stated. I think the plain truth is that one has video.

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @walterkirn Not this one.... This is the hard work of living in a civil society, not pushing away those who wish to engage with a full heart and open mind.

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @deannamcraig The diseases become less concerning when enough people take the vaccines to reduce the incidence. The virus has nowhere to go. It's all about getting enough participation. So yes, if not enough people take the vaccine voluntarily, then mandates are necessary to beat the virus.

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @deannamcraig Yes, you're wrong. Vaccines just reduce both infection and transmission. I'm not aware of any vaccine that "eradicates" a vaccine or is 100% effective against transmission or infection. The covid vaccines are just as effective as the MMR vaccine, for instance.

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @deannamcraig Interesting. Have you also kept your kids out of school because of vaccine requirements for polio, measles, mumps, etc.? Have you refused to travel to countries that require vaccines for yellow fever, Hep B, etc.?

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir @_BarringtonII @HueMatters Hyperbole after hyperbole after hyperbole. Isn't it clear that "the system" places many unique and fundamental obstacles on success for people of color? Can't we agree that working to actually remove those obstacles and level the playing field would be good for all of us?

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir This "uncomfortable" observation ignores the fact that these "elites" have been subjecting themselves to a masking, testing, and vaccine protocol for months to allow the film and television industry to return to work. Same for professional athletes.

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@christokir Thanks for the bump ❤️

[Beau Everett @_beaueverett]

@AlanLevinovitz @walterkirn point taken, but with all due respect, apples and oranges
