Prophet Zacharia Posted June 6, 2020 Share #1757 Posted June 6, 2020 15 hours ago, Kzoo said: Or not want to live with paralyzed extremities like those from the 70's that rushed to an early vaccine. The fortunate ones were paralyzed the dead ones were not paralyzed. So it will be important to look at what type of vaccine they develop to know what the risk may be. A vaccine using live, attenuated virus is going to be one risk, dead virus another, virus proteins much less. IIRC, the polio vaccine that first came out that caused paralysis and death was due to lab error resulting in failure to kill the virus that was being used as a killed virus vaccine. The paralysis was the effect of the virus, not a side effect of the vaccine. The vaccine in that case was unfortunately the delivery system.

Even if the meaning you were taught was right when you were taught the meaning, it may now have a different meaning and the meaning of the word is different and you are wrong even if you were once right. So it's OK for you to use that word to describe those people but it's not right for someone else to use a different word to describe other people because someone decided that a different word is better and the old word is offensive.

Did your daughter lose her job or is it a temporary thing? Isn't MI opening up again? Is she making more being unemployed than employed? That's a big plus. And how about the coffee shop? We had this discussion with BR46 and his local businesses. Are you in the "know" of what the coffee shop was doing/not doing that led to their closing? It's certainly not a great situation from either side - being in a place under ACTIVE quarantine where folks around you are dropping dead because you had no idea you were spreading COVID for a few weeks to friends, coworkers, fellow coffee patrons, and parish/club/team members - who then spread it to their peeps - or being in a lockdown where the disease doesn't readily spread so why the heck are you required to be in lockdown????
