    Wow, someone is really on a bender tonight.  I hope they just take out their anger and rage on here.  Alcoholism is an awful disease and effects everyone around you.

    I wonder if they really think homophobia is the way to win fights and make convincing arguments?  Basically, as soon as I read that I completely tune out everything else said.  I don't have time to read the rantings of a bigot.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    John did his research on him.  He does it on everyone that pisses him off.  He looks at their profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook, where they live, their house pics (Google Earth) and anything else that gives him info to use against them (or for his troll accounts). 
    He covers all the bases!  Kind of like a PI with some “skin in the game”.  You fan boys that are sucking up to him could end up on his $hit list if you ever post something that he doesn’t like.
    Man…you really got your nose buried deep up Johns ass!  Or do just like sucking his ****? You seem to have to defend him every time someone posts against the thinking of the great & powerful JIC.   Why does he have so muck control on you…and your posts?  Be your own man, and not one of JIC’s little bitches.  
    I was over many engineers in my 41 years as a utility manager.  Saw a lot of “Johns” employed by the Hiring Manager.  Fired most of them on Friday afternoon, before their 6 month review.  Bad attitudes, and thought they should be the boss.  Most are working at the local taverns & restaurants now. They wait on me at dinner time. 

     JIC would never survive the Corporate environment.  Universities will put up with his left wing liberal agenda.  Corporate will not.  He would be bussing tables.
    I’m OK with being a worthless human being with a HUGE pension if your OK with being a worthless human being sucking on JIC😄😂😍’ ****. Get a life. Quit worshipping losers like John. He is not your friend & buddy.  He will stick it up your a$$ when he has the chance. Do you not read his abusive posts to other forum members?????  He is a true a$$hole to many on this forum. Not a person that I would associate with.  Might want to rethink your friends, as JIC is making you all look like “sheeple” , as well as several other fan boys on here @Legume, @The Cen-Tex Smoker.  He will screw you all when you have an opinion that contradicts his….but I guess you all already knew that.
    Reading the truth really has to hurt doesn’t it?  Deep down, you really didn’t want to hear all this about your best friend/buddy and how he was using you on this forum.  John played you for a sucker. He depend on all of you “fan boys” to support his posts, and ridicule any members that have an opposite opinion. Trash any member that doesn’t follow Johns policy. Sounding a lot like Putin!!!

    That's about par for the course for @littlerascal56.

    There is some value in engaging bigots like him. I don't really think you can inform someone like him, but at least it gives them an opportunity to show their true colors.

    Most people learn about the science of vaccines in high school biology class.

    Others, apparently, sleep through it.

    “Vaccine”


    I get it, you don’t understand why vaccines don’t immediately stop virus 100% and you don’t dare accept that mutations lead to new variants because that’s essentially evolution.

    FYI not all mutations make the species stronger or survive longer.  We see clear manifestations of this in physical and mental abilities in humans.  I’m ok if you didn’t get vaccinated.
    What other vaccine are you ok with that allows you to still catch it. Are you ok with a little polio. Maybe your dog only gets a little rabies. You know, or should know, this was sold as a cure and you would not catch it once jabbed and you would not spread it. Yes, this came from their own mouths. Now it’s being sold as a way to keep you from kicking the bucket. Yeah, you still catch it and spread it but they must have a way to keep you booster junkies on the hook. 99% or so recover no matter what. 

    True story… I watched a woman at Walmart recently  that had a mask, rubber gloves, and her entire shopping cart wrapped in plastic. Some people are brainwashed into a life of fear now. 

    Who said that? Fauci himself said in testimony to Congress 2+ years ago:

    Even once a vaccine to fight the coronavirus is developed, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci told Congress Tuesday, “There’s no guarantee that the vaccine is actually going to be effective.”

    Nobody (of any significance) has ever said ANY vaccine is 100% effective (tho some may come very close). Immunity is not a constant.
    Just curious, do you still routinely get your tetanus booster?

    And according to some research up to 30% of those who survive have long term effects. Both sisters, their husbands, and my youngest niece(30) caught the original version of Covid before they were eligible for the vaccine. The niece had very rare migraines before and frequent ones after. My older sister had weeks of occasional brain fog and difficulties in walking. One of my cousins got carried away by Delta, her husband didn’t believe in vaccinations. An aunt had Delta, got the infusion, and lived but can walk only short distances.
    As to the family members who got vaccinated? Not a one was hospitalized, most never caught Covid . I recently came down with Omicron after vaccination, 4 days of what seemed a mild cold but 10 days for a negative test.

     I seldom agree with John, his cabal, or his proxy accounts but I do on this.

    I am pretty confident I get a tetanus booster every few years.  I can never remember when I had it, so urgent care always just gives it to me.

    Flu vaccine.  Rarely a direct hit, but close enough to offer protection.  I’m ok with this.  

    You?

    True story, I’ve watched millions of Americans amass ridiculous amounts of guns and ammo thinking they’re going to be well protected as the NRA has sold them, they just have different fears than that woman at Walmart.  Same disease though.

    I know your definition of credibility…. It’s anything that come from the left wing media. You only want to read what proves your socialist agenda. None of you are interested in truth. That’s why all of you have an orgy every time an anti Trump story comes out. You just know it’s true. Look no farther than the Jan 6 post you are all circle jerking over. It’s a one sided hearing and you are like a bunch of women talking about a scandal on a soap opera. Lol. You good will never learn. 
    If you live in a delusion where GB News is more credible than The New England Journal of Medicine... then, yep, you're right. Nothing to see here. Carry on.

    Reading is … fundamental. 

    I suppose you missed the last part of him saying “ it makes it extremely unlikely- not impossible but very, very low likelihood- that you are going to transmit it”

    Yeah, he used the word very not once but twice in how unlikely you are to spread it. That was totally wrong. Is that fundamental enough?
    You made *two* claims: 1) it was sold as a cure and you would not catch it once jabbed; and 2) you would not spread it.

    Obviously your own link showed that 1) is false when it comes to Fauci.  

    On the second point I’m fairly sure he was talking about what the data were indicating shortly after vaccination, when immunity was very high.  As months go by and immunity wanes and new variants pop up, that picture changes.  But people with the vaccine are still better off than those who don’t have it, by a long shot. 

    You’re just spewing keyboard diarrhea at this point, hoping some of your bullsh!t sticks.  Anything to explain why you were too afraid to get a jab, and couldn’t care less about the people around you.

    CDC said it and walked it back. You don’t think the vax wasn’t sold as a cure from getting Covid? 
    It seems that Biden's understanding of how (COVID) vaccines work is almost at par with yours. 

    The link in the quote is actually pretty spot on. Especially the bit at the end. Did you get that far?

     It’s not what I believe, it’s what many Americans believed. If he can’t be trusted he should be removed.

    If you want to see parody, look in the mirror. You'll find a guy who spends most of his time in the off topic section, and hasn't posted a cook in years. On a bbq forum.

    Seems you are stalking me. I’ve been a member since 2013. I’m not like a few here that love being a big fish in a little pond. I actually have a life. I pop in to read but doesn’t mean I have to post all the time. I recently realized this forum is dominated by a few loud mouth know it all libs. Much like the scene in the movie Tombstone where the one big mouth was running out all the high rollers, leaving only the trash. I come and post and the band of lib brothers all come to attack. I think it’s hilarious. I got numerous pm from members that like someone is standing up to the loud mouths. They had rather not join in but I’m your Huckleberry. I’ve dealt with your kind enough that I know your every trick and tactic. I may just become a fixture in this area of the forum to give it some excitement. XXOO 
    Doesn't take a stalker to figure out that you haven't posted anything useful here in a long time.

    Please stay. Your PM friends would miss you. 

    Besides, every village needs an idiot.
