My hospital just announced they are requiring employees to get the vaccine. Commence shit show.
How many times have you done this? We said the politics would go away. We did get that wrong. It will always be political.
One of our bartenders is an ER nurse for her real job. She hadn't planned on getting the vaccine. But our hospitals are making it mandatory.
There's a SE Asian wife and husband who works 7 days a week. Their kids was recently on summer school break. The parents put them right to work in the business. it's a donut/coffee shop. and I get orders taken from a 7 yr old.
I like it, but can anyone find a fault in that?

The Google machine says kids gotta be at least 12 to work, even for a family business.
All Asian families that own businesses do that, especially Indians.
Meh, pesky laws. Libs just look the other way when they don't like certain ones (like legal immigration). So don't fault them for working their kids like slaves as they are free to do in their home countries.
I'm sure some of it may depend on states but.... You can work them at any age, but it has to be a reasonable job and reasonable pay(not $400 an hour for washing dishes), and not go against other laws(such as dangerous jobs- firefighting, police, mining, etc...). Also must be the actual parents that own the business, not just any family member.
I've tried talking to my brother about doing this with his kids when they get a little older. Instead of paying them an actual check, you put it in a certain type of account. Its capped at about $12,000 per year. Neat part is you can use that money as investments for your child. You could save money for a few years and then use it to buy properties.
So by the time your child is 18 they could have multiple rental properties or just have about 100k in the bank.

I stand corrected. Good to know. Sucks for the 7 year olds
Please don't use 7 year olds and sucks in the same sentence. None of us want TheDude back around here.
Interesting tidbit from the global database of HCQ Covid studies:
There is evidence of bias towards publishing negative results. 77% of prospective studies report positive effects, compared to 72% of retrospective studies. Studies from North America are 3.1 times more likely to report negative results than studies from the rest of the world combined, p = 0.0000000081.
46% of studies in North America reported positive effects, vs 90% in South America, 84% in Asia, 83% in Europe, 80% in Africa and 76% in the Middle East.

When To Stop Hoping For a COVID-19 Miracle Cure

That was quick.
Easily explained I’m sure.
Kermit being the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll would be slightly more believable than “Pfizer wants you to get a third dose because it strongly boosts your protection.”
True. There isn’t “consistent, compelling evidence” that HCQ works. Because, by itself, it doesn’t do much.When To Stop Hoping For a COVID-19 Miracle Cure

The purpose of HCQ is to increase intracellular zinc. It’s a pointless waste of time to even study the effects of HCQ alone.
But HCQ and zinc? Plenty of evidence, including anecdotal.
It never made sense to suppress and/or ban its use and you know it.
The point of the story told at the beginning of that article is results that look promising in hastily prepared studies can turn out to be bunk. Getting vaccinated is still magnitudes better at preventing Covid and preventing Covid hospitalizations or death than any treatment, including HCQ + zinc. The problem with pushing it was always going to be that people might see that as a compelling reason to avoid the vaccine, which would result in more infections, more hospital resources, more death. That’s why pushing the treatment was dangerous.
I don’t think doctors were ever forbidden from prescribing HCQ. From what I’ve gathered, there isn’t a mechanism to prevent them from prescribing any legal drug they want for any ailment. They could probably technically prescribe chemotherapy for a stubbed toe if they wanted. If/when the patient is harmed, they would face a malpractice lawsuit. If they’re confident a drug won’t harm the patient and there aren’t better options, then they don’t have to worry about that.
There’s very recent study that uncovered HCQ’s potential to cause cancer in mice. Now, I’m not putting a lot of stock in that study right now but I know that you’ve referenced the 3G (2G?) study that found mice exposed to 3-4x the level that humans would ever be exposed to were more likely to get cancer. That was enough to suggest 3,4,5,…10G is unsafe. Following that logic, perhaps higher dosages of HCQ aren’t as safe as thought.
Haven’t watched it, but I’m still pretty offended by Space Jam 2
Haven't seen it an no plans to see it. Really has less to do with LeBron and more so with the fact that you just don't remake a movie like Space Jam.
It’s a Wonderful Life remake would probably bother me.
It did to the liberals who hated Trump so much they would rather have Americans die of COVID.
Bullshit, there were laws passed and healthcare professionals were forbidden from giving it to patients.
The FDA removed its emergency use designation. That doesn’t mean doctors couldn’t access or prescribe it.
