"I never thought I'd quote George W. Bush but this truly is the 'soft bigotry of low expectations.' " I've been hearing a lot more about George W. Bush in recent days. Does that mean...
I think "Do Your Own Research!" is what idiots say because they have done all their research on facebook and fox and really think that's where the facts are.
It is so, so very frustrating to hear phrases that used to refer to verifiable facts used to justify utter stupidity and bullshit.
There is plenty of documented evidence of BIPOC vaccine hesitancy. Now that there are more efforts to reach people where they literally are (instead of expecting everyone to be on the web day and night to find a vax registration opening near them) things are getting better with equitable access. Trust issues around health care, as I understand for BIPOC, esp. black Americans is partially based in discrimination in health care settings and not having enough black doctors: (as well as the historically based reasons contributing to this)
"persistent racial bias and the dearth of BIPOC clinicians in the health care system are well documented. In a national survey of 1643 adults, evenly split between Black and White respondents, Quinn and colleagues examined the impact of this lack of diversity on behavior with regard to influenza vaccination and found that perceived racial fairness in the health care setting increased trust in influenza vaccines and vaccine uptake, whereas experiences of discrimination in the health care setting decreased trust, increased perceived risk of side effects, and reduced uptake."
I will never understand how the right can cry "Freedumbs" over vaccines and masks and at the same time try to blame black people for our unending wave of covid. As if we don't have eyes to see exactly who is disrupting school boards, rioting against masks, and filling up hospital beds.
I am of irish descent. 100 years ago there were signs up in all the businesses that said "irish need not apply" so that's why I've decided to not try to get a job. I know the tuskeegee experiment was terrible, but I'm pretty sure that in 2021, whitey's not giving black people the special covid vaccine laced with syphillis just to see what happens. get the fucking shot no matter what color you are
The Tuskegee study didn't give its victims syphillis, it withheld the treatment. A better analogy would be Whitey giving us Covid, then telling us vaccines were bad.
Waaay off topic, but I refuse to listen to or watch (or even read) anything that involves Commander Doctor Pill Pusher. And if he's got an opinion on the vaccine, there's a 99.9999% chance he is wrong.
72% of people disagree with you on that
This is great!I'm gonna send it to my scientist cousin!
Did you know that 83% of numbers are just made up?

Don't call it a comeback!

I've seen it referred to as "The Last Bipartisan Sitcom" - and I agree.

While I prefer Android for it's openness, chance of getting a 3rd party security patch diminishes with age, unless one has a Pixel.

A very apt description.

Just curious. Do you have any proof Richard Neal works harder than AOC?
That number seems kind of low.
Both of my parents were only children. I have never started a story with, "My cousin..."
