@RealSkipBayless And we’re supposed to be debated by whether pros should be able to play? How about fix this first

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

They want us debating whether pros should be able to play college, while the clocks are only guidelines?

@PatMcAfeeShow This cannot stand. It’s a stain on all of sports. Game was over.

@stoolpresidente Corruption. Game was over.

Agree more with Dr Gator on this. If you can’t acknowledge there are side effects, trust is lost. We are not going to trust people who say it’s only positive. First step, acknowledge there is potential for side effects. Second step, confirm the desire to have as many people vaccinated as possible. Third, confirm treatment protocol for those that get the disease, whether vaccinated or not (because there has to be treatment options outside of vaccination).

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

I feel like the two sides are talking past each other. From what I’ve read of your posts in the past, maybe you can help set some things straight.

From the side of the skeptics, the argument seems to be that this announcement was heavily political. There is no expectation that an infant would be vaccinated, so to call that out is surely misleading. No? Doesn’t this feel like officials using selective data to raise fear of measles to push toward some other end (which may just be higher vaccination)? Do we know the vaccination status of the mom? Was she perhaps someone who came into the country in recent years without going through our normal schedule?

That aside, i think that what you’re trying to raise is that measles can actually be dangerous. It’s not a common cold. I think that is totally fair and it seems to be proven that if you want to reduce risk of catching measles, the vaccine is the best bet. That doesn’t appear to be in question (and is something RFK has said repeatedly).

The real heart of the debate is about mandates. There simply are some that don’t feel that they should be compelled to take the vaccine (or have their kids take it) because the disease is largely treatable and there are risks to the vaccine itself too. Why isn’t that a fair opinion? Why do we have to resort to raising fears as much as possible rather than just giving facts about what the vaccine does and doesn’t do, and what the real world treatment options are for those that contract the disease (whether vaccinated or not)?

That was the big problem with COVID. There were treatments available if contracted and we could have just been honest about that rather than making it seem like the vaccine was the only option.

@DrJoelGator Seems so easy!

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

@Sen_Alsobrooks This is so dishonest. We see it.

The two best actress performances where they perfectly portray the character and make you fall in love with them:
Claire Forlani in Meet Joe Black
Natasha Richardson in Parent Trap

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

@politico Yes. Is that debated?

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

Man, if you get down to Jacksonville Florida would love to show you some crazy suburban stuff. We live in a community with multiple water parks, pools, close to the beach, everything is golf carts accessible. We’re nobody’s, but live like kings. Haha. Happy to share the experience

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

Thanks for this Van. Agree with your take.

In fact, I almost always appreciate your take.

It’s a while back but I remember when you were nominated for something under Obama and Fox News made you out to be some crazy extremist. I believed it without ever listening to you.

But after listening to you, I appreciate your honesty perspective. I might vote different in most cases, but you provide a rational take on most things and make me question myself.

Thank you

@anish_koka Great thread. Thank you

@elonmusk is it possible to create a larger vehicle that transitions between SUV with 3rd row and pickup truck? Like have the last row seats collapse and truck bed pops up. A truck is so ideal for outdoor activities but the bed is really only needed so often. Would be huge to have the larger inside capacity for family the bulk of the time.

As someone with kids I would love to have a small, fun car, but that seems like it’s only something we would do as a third vehicle, which feels unnecessary.

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

@SecKennedy Thank you for everything you’re doing!

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

@lukecombs , I got allocated some tickets to the first USA World Cup game. Want to go?

[Thomas @tomtomyakman]

Thanks for this. I hadn’t heard that counter explained so well.

I appreciate your engagements on here @jakescottMD

I’ve really come to support RFK but recognize that skepticism is required. You’re doing a great job providing information without name calling and all that. Good information beats bad information and you’re one of the few on the other side of Kennedy that is going about it the right way. I may not always be persuaded, but your willingness to engage like this sure does help.

Thank you
