Vaccine or not?

Science has not left the building.
The peer review process remains intact.
Just because this thing got heavily politicized doesn’t mean the entire research community went on vacation. The studies that were trash got struck down. The ones that were not trash passed inspection. If this was climate change argument you might have an argument for group think as that group claims 98% consensus and have been caught faking data 3 times. But let that sick in. In a science that claims 98% consensus they still get the trash flushed out in the review process so in a system where there is no consensus you can pretty much accept that the bad studies will be picked apart. And they have been.

It’s odd that we’re in here questioning things since we’re not allowed to
Seriously man?..

Is the vaccine thread. If you weren't bought in to the experimental shot..... you were anti science. That's all I was talking about

Y'all can can continue your p@@@ing match.

Shouldn't have even responded!

Careful. He may ask you for a shirtless pic. And then call you names

You’re fine.
You’re not wrong that there was a lot of stupidity that went on with this supposed pandemic. But let’s be honest about what happened and let’s deal with the facts. By claiming a mass conspiracy on something that obviously wasn’t only discredits any attempt to correct the actual problems.
(Ivermectin not your shot concern. The shot mandates is a different conversation and definitely different from ivermectin)

For example, look around and see who’s talking about the lung problems that are starting to surface because we put everyone in masks.
A legitimate **** up that has potential to be serious but nobody seems to know about it or care.

Agree.

A lot of things happened just to happen.

Don't know about Ivermectim too much but if worked or not should have still been the physicians decision.

May be different for me. In Healthcare and heard the check in girls today ask a patient if they'd been around anyone with COVID or out of the area!

I don't know what's right but you should always be able to question!

That’s just it. My argument isn’t that drs should not use it. It’s a proven safe drug that works against many things. Its use should be strictly between you and your Dr. the vaccine, like any other vaccine or drug, should be between you and your doctor. I’m 54 and my wife is high risk. We took the vaccine and first booster. Neither of my adult sons took the vaccine. The support for young adults and children needing it just wasn’t there. the only reason I’m saying anything in this thread is in response to the false accusations that ivermectin works against Covid and was intentionally suppressed in a huge conspiracy. Both of those are completely false.

Just a front to try to score shirtless pics from other dudes on here. Nobody can care that much about Ivermectin.
 
Well, in the words of the "great" Boob Kesling:

"What a turn of events"

Now I'm not sure if I'm insecure, crazy, just trying to be motivated to stay fit, closet gay, or have ever even practiced medicine.

I'm going to bed.

Love you guys (in a non-gay way). (I think).

Goodnight doc. I’m going to jump on the stationary bike, grab a shower, and go to bed shirtless. Sorry no pics will be posted of these activities.

All good, my friend. This was fun reading after a couple episodes of Suits with my wife. She is in bed with her shirt on (unfortunately)

Our of curiosity, are you on Peloton or Zwift? I rode earlier this evening, it's been much easier on my aging joints than running. I used to make fun of them, but I actually look forward to my cardio days now on the bike.

Interesting.
You claim nobody can care that much but you can’t seem to have an intelligent conversation about it. Maybe the “you’re just mad” is projecting. Why are you so upset by this?

Since you’re my picture posting buddy, it’s ok with me if you’re gay. You are a good looking fella and any man or woman would be lucky to have you. You’re definitely in shape and clearly not scared to back up what you say with proof.

lol.

Where are you on cold plunge?

Hang on up there. That storm front that just blew over was violent. It dropped a tornado in Cleveland and apparently is headed right at y’all. Stay safe
 
It’s accountability to the extreme. I’m in an old man workout group. We call ourselves 19 good dudes and one miserable bastard. The identity of the miserable bastard changes from day to day. Everyone posts the last Friday of the month every month. It is very effective in keeping your diet on point.
Last year in the weigh in thread several of us posted. The challenge is out for my 55th birthday this year. If you’re embarrassed of how you look then maybe you shouldn’t post.

Just saying.

I totally get what you are saying and I understand the whole motivational and accountability side of this.....I'm just saying that for myself personally, even though I take great pride in being healthy, exercising and not putting junk into my body, and even though I'm very confident in my appearance with or without a shirt, it just doesn't come natural for me to want to post a picture of myself shirtless. Nothing wrong with it at all I'm just saying that's not me.

By intelligent conversation you mean calling me names and asking for shirtless pics? I think you may want to reevaluate who is upset. If you are capable of that.

We got the eyeball of the front a couple of times last night. Wet and nasty, but all good here, save a little water intrusion in the basement thanks to a bad French drain that I've put off getting dug out.

I did one after my workout yesterday, but our definition might be a little different. The pool was 79 LOL

I have tried it when the water was 50-60, but I just don't enjoy it at all. I did a few cold-hot cycles Roman style at the Grove Park spa years ago and that was ok. Maybe it was the ambiance though.

Trust me, there's nothing natural about it for me, either. I think Slice made fun of the face I was making. Plus it's really hard to get a flattering pic in a mirror. I might get my wife to take a better one if I'm feeling comfortable in my skin this year. After all, he only turns 60 once.

No I get it.
I was a college athlete. A swimmer. I’m very comfortable being…..not modest. It’s ok if you’re not.

True story. I turned 50 the day Tennessee lost to Ga state. I was visiting family in New York. There’s a picture of me where I looked old and fat. Physically I was still in a decent place. One of my cousins, also a college athlete was 59 years old and was struggling with getting around. I decided at that moment….”nope, not this guy”. The Red woman had just been declared healed from cancer and was in better shape than 99 percent of the people our age. G-d has granted us additional time so it was time to make sure I was healthy enough to enjoy every second of every day gifted to me

My favorite part of this is when other contractors that don’t really know me are complaining about hurting and being old. They always go somewhere like “just wait till you hit your late 40s then you’ll know “ I’m always older than those fools.

Being in the shape you are in is elite.
It’s amazing how bad off the average American is.


You’re not wrong. Real soon I’ll be closer to 60 than 50.

Sure.
If you know anything about me….which I question your reading comprehension skills……I go wherever the conversation takes me. Don’t start none and there won’t be none. Your desperation in this conversation is noted as you seem to be the one struggling with something to say.
