As someone with a science background, I understand how Messenger RNA vaccines work, but I have to ask, do you ? If so, please explain how a vaccine that instructs the cells in your body to make a harmless piece of spike protein, would make people 'run for their lives' ? I'm never averse to learning something new or seeing the other side of the coin, as long as it has supporting scientific data, so I'm willing to listen to your reasoning..
One thing that has always amazed me, is how many Bahamians cannot actually swim. For a country of small islands surrounded by water this is truly startling. If the cfrf & nfa do set up a training program, there needs to be a compulsory pre-requisite that candidates are able to meet a certain minimum swimming proficiency before they can be considered for such a training program. Not being able to swim, float, and tread water while working on a boat miles offshore (or even a hundred yards of shore) is only going to have one outcome, and it isn't a pleasant one
I'm not exactly sure, but it could be a 'just to be on the safe side' kind of thing. Also, Tetanus is an infection caused by Bacteria and is not a Virus, so that may have something to do with it. I'm not sure the 10 year booster is so common these days, unless you tend to live/work in areas where Tetanus bacteria could be present.
If it only lasts 2 or 3 months, then it's not a vaccine. Vaccine's are not like drugs. Vaccines 'teach' your body's immune system to produce the correct type of antibodies any time that specific virus enters your body. It's your body's natural immune system that provides protection against the virus, not the vaccine. Now, if the virus mutates then it could be a different story..
In my experience most people vote just to keep the other team out of office and not because they like a particular candidate. All Biden supporters are Democrats, but not all Democrats are Biden supporters, they just can't stand the thought of the other party winning so they vote for the lesser of the two evils. Hence, I think it would be more accurate for your statement to say that more people voted Republican in this election than they did democrat when Obama won
Also, your model makes a huge assumption that 45K or 55K (i.e. 90%) of cases are undetected. I find this extremely hard to believe unless all 90% are asymptomatic (unlikely) or never contacted/visited a healthcare professional when they started developing even mild symptoms or insufficient test kits were not available to test all 90% (possible in The Bahamas but unlikely in Iceland or Malta).
*No where in the Bible, or in any Church teaching, have I ever seen/know of support for the practice*.
I never said it was a Christian practice. I said 'religion' There are other religions besides Christianity, you know,
Oh, and homosexuality is not a disease, you can't catch it from someone. You've been listening to too many of those self-righteous homophobes in dresses again
I don't think all of the US is like you say it is. Some states embrace same sex marriage while others don't. Certainly there are many other countries (especially in Europe) which offer a counterpoint to your skewed belief. These are typically countries that don't have a strong religious culture so transgenderism and same sex marriages etc. 'fit in' with the normal culture. If you think religion is guilt free, why are there so many proven cases of sexual abuse/molestation by male clergy against young boys. And, I don't even want to bring up the topic of FGM on religious grounds.
