So 83% of people in Ontario have received at least one shot, yet the 17% who haven’t represent almost half those in the ICU?

Feels like believing the numbers when you agree with them and calling them fake when you don’t. The poll lists the affiliations of each pollee. 37 lean Dem, 39 Republican, the rest Independent or Other. Where is the oversampling?

The 71% number isn’t even directly referring to Biden. It asked if “the country was on the right track”, but it seems like the majority almost always answers “no” to that question. Last July it was at 73%.

Delta fines unvaccinated employees and tests them weekly. Their policy is more strict than Biden’s proposed mandate.

Federal employees do have somewhat unique due process rights within their role as employees. They’re entitled to a more deliberate process when disciplined or fired than private employees. It sounds like y’all were talking about vaccine mandates, so I’d assume that’s what she was talking about. There’s just no way she didn’t believe citizens generally aren’t entitled to due process.

The language in Jacobson isn’t particularly narrow with respect to the general, healthy population, although it did speak to state police power rather than federal powers. This was reinforced by Zucht, which relied on Jacobson and ruled that it was “settled that it is within the police power of a state to provide for compulsory vaccination.” It’s possible that a federal mandate could be argued to infringe on a state’s police powers if a state banned mandates (along the lines of Lopez and Morrison), but I’d be shocked if the Court didn’t recognize as legitimate the virus’ effects on interstate commerce, so a federal mandate would probably be allowed to supersede a state ban.

I don’t understand why this headline was used. The article and “poll” mostly discuss Trump’s improvement among Latinos in 2020, only spending a paragraph on his improvement (8% to 12%) among black people. I guess if you want to call that droves, fine, but this isn’t anything new, and the “poll” is just a breakdown of actual 2020 election results.

Wait the evidence is that another black guy kinda looks like him while wearing shades, a hat, a hoodie, and a mask? His death is supposed to be a carefully planned deep state conspiracy, but the guy shows up at his funeral a few days later in front of a ton of cameras?

I don’t get how you think They would go to these lengths but would pay someone off instead of just killing one more black guy

I know, that’s how I know it’s not an actual study. It’s a hypothesis that hasn’t been peer reviewed written by an exercise physiologist.

It looks like Assange never said this. At least, I watched the interview with Kelly, and he didn’t say it there.

I feel like this is a bit of an oversell. This article isn’t a study, it’s a hypothesis. It hasn’t been peer reviewed, and other than the author asserting that he’s affiliated with an affiliate of Stanford, I can’t find anything that says he is. Like he’s not on the Palo Alto Healthcare System’s site and his LinkedIn doesn’t list him as ever working there.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, passing off a hypothesis by a exercise physiologist that hasn’t been peer reviewed as something people should use to form their opinion isn’t intellectually honest and is the same kind of pseudoscience that gets criticized on here all the time.
