This gets repeated every time the topic comes up. Has anyone from the legislature or governor's office actually said this? I can't find anything on it. One if the most recent bills would have given full control to the liquor board and it was rejected without debate.

EDIT: have they said that they do or don't want state control, I mean. Seems like we're mostly speculating on why it keeps getting rejected.

Obviously you never saw him play football in college. Turns out rushing yards are a good proxy for political ability.

Should people that move to NH just not vote, or would it be better to let you fill in their ballot? We definitely don't want then using their rights.

Is this like preemptively declaring that the election was rigged? Your thoughtful comment is right at the top when I follow the link.

It includes a lot of links to make it look like they refer to actual research, but very little reference to actual research. Of the 10 links in the article, 5 are to other articles written by Time, 2 are to data about the prevalence of omicron variants, 1 is the GSAID homepage, and 1 is a treatment guideline update for monoclonal antibody treatment. Also at least 3 of the linked organizations (CDC, NIH, and GSAID) recommend vaccines and boosters for anyone eligible.

So 1 of 10 references is an actual (preprint) article about reduced vaccine efficacy. It also shows (figure 1b, c, d) that vaccination boosters provide a substantial increase in titers of neutralizing antibodies to all variants examined.

The point of this article is for people to read it while "researching" vaccine information and share it to bolster an argument. It contains almost no relevant information and what it has it heavily editorialized. I guess I can't fault them too much because it worked on you 100%.

What's untrue exactly? Here's a review of more than one study that found reduced infection and transmission potential. The results aren't as clear cut as those for preventing severe infection because it's much more difficult to study transmission (ethically and logistically) in a robust method.

Also, when I said it would be really weird for a vaccine to reduce disease severity and not transmission potential, I mean that there's no known mechanism by which that can happen. A vaccine can't reduce only the virus particles that stay in the body and skip the ones destined to be expelled. The immune system doesn't work that way.

TB is rare in the US so probably not. I worked in a hospital kitchen and we had a list of required vaccinations. It's just part of the job when you work anywhere in the medical field.

IDK if you knew this, but Time isn't a scientific journal. This is a fear mongering piece intended for people like you to share as proof that vaccines don't work. The non-editorialized data are pretty clear that vaccines do work, just not as well against new variants.

Paper after paper has found that a COVID infection carries a much higher risk of cardiovascular problems than the vaccine. You are straight up wrong there.

Vaccine effects on transmission haven't really been studied because of ethics. Don't mistake lack of any evidence for evidence against. There are a few studies out there that have found that it does reduce transmission. It would be really weird if vaccines reduced infection severity and duration without affecting transmission. All of those are linked to viral loads so reducing one will help the others.

I read articles about people leaving and of the ones that broke down the numbers, most people quitting were not nurses. Most articles omit the breakdown and try to find at least one nurse to play to people with your bias, but it's still usually <1% of total staff that choose to leave. Almost no one with medical education chose to leave because of COVID vaccine mandates. This is true if only because almost no one chose to leave healthcare over it.

Most hospitals expect all staff to be up to date on vaccinations and that now includes COVID. Vaccine requirements at hospitals are completely normal and good.

A respiratory infection that's filling up pediatric ICUs all over the country is indeed an important piece of news. It may not affect you, but there are other people out there besides yourself.

This seems like more of a facility issue than staffing. They simply don't have enough pediatric ICU space right now.

The vast majority of medical professionals that were fired or left over COVID vaccines were receptionists and file clerks and the like. Almost no one with medical education left the field because of vaccine requirements. There was a nursing shortage before the pandemic, and many more left due to burnout. Seeing people die from a preventable disease because they wouldn't get a vaccine will do that.

The change is that there used to be a waiver that let new hires start right away as long as they are supervised. The waiver is going away so they won't be able to start early.

Not bad, but you had to misspell damn.

You see the same with those "impossible math problems" that are just badly written middle school problems. They get a lot of engagement then sell the account to another user (often political) to spam whatever message they have.

There's no game in town at all. SLS has yet to move under it's own power.

Yup. The congressional goal for the Artemis program is to bring jobs to swing states. Moon landings are secondary.

Litter boxes in schools!

I expect it will end up like beer. There will be a few companies making national brands with lots of craft growers dotted all over doing their thing.

Then the compounds that make the flavor and odor trigger my immune system and cause inflammation and irritation in my mouth.

And if you eat an unhealthy diet, attacking a different diet won't make it better. That's the point they were making.

Basically it got worse. I started getting what felt like sores in my mouth eating certain foods so I started paying close attention to ingredients. Eventually I found raw green onions were causing it and the internet filled in the rest. Any raw alium will set it off but cooked is fine.

Apologies, I misread your comment. There's a weird anti-vegan group in this sub that show up to try to demonize plant based diets (they've been in this thread already). Soy is a favorite target.

I expect this level of nonsense in the vegan vs. omnivore diet threads, but this is just saying that soy is a good source of protein. It's like even the slightest acknowledgement that plant based diets are fine is somehow a threat.
