One more time for good measure. She means what she says and she says what she means.

I offered no assessment.

Check the sources.

I did not mention “two” or “two” nor did I add them together. What metaphor are you trying to use and what point are you trying to make?
I think I'll bow out of these exchanges.

Lemme ask ya this, if your leg was broke would you go to the ER or to an Auto Mechanic? Because the CDC is literally an org filled with subject matter experts
The point is, assume that the CDC as a government organization could be compromised politically, it really doesn't matter for the sake of debates on this forum about whether vaccines work or not, as we have endless information from world-diverse institutions that study the virus accessible from the Internet.

If you don't believe the CDC can be compromised because it is made up of doctors, then consider a world in the 5th term of a Trump presidency. Would the CDC be trustworthy then?

Those assumptions and $1.98 gets you coffee at Waffle House.

My point is this, do you go seek a qualified expert to solve a problem or do you go to "some guy" with no relevant qualifications?

Since according to you, the 'qualified experts' of 'world-diverse institutions' that I referenced are worth 1.98 and a waffle, then the opinion of a mechanic is probably just about as good. So that's your answer, Dave, by your logic, a mechanic and an immunologist at MIT are equal.

wow, so what you are saying is on a medical issue you trust a guy with an ASE over an MD. Have fun with that.

So...news at state level. The announcement was made today that boosters may be available as soon as this coming Monday. Details about roll out and administration seem sketchy. I'm assuming they'll go through the previous tier system. I wonder if any providers will be notifying those who received 2 doses, that their booster is ready to be scheduled?

No idea. Please stay tuned. :-)

Does anyone know if the Pfizer and Moderna boosters are simply a third shot? Is there a different formula (?) at play?

Hi DaveIsHere

Banning is a very rare event here. If you have any questions about the rules and how they are enforced, feel free to Personal Message canpakes, Xenothon or me. You can also ask questions here:

In retrospect, Bill Gates hiding those microchips in the horse dewormer paste was a stroke of genius.
