I've noticed Dentists have also begun shooting for the "high profit-margin" cha-cha as well. Beware.
Yep, one I used to do business with but severed ties with, due to his extreme stupidity, sold out to private equity and now he's a trust fund baby's/MBA's bitch at the clinic he built for himself.

So we all just wing it on common sense, because everyone that should know the subject matter is dishonest and anyone honest just doesn't know wtf they're talking about.

Sheesh.

I've been looking around for some of that in our society for quite some time.

Do you realize it is exactly that, a dumb political viewpoint, which motivated you to say that?

Epidimologists and virologists, yes, I listen to them. And researchers from other countries. Also the ones who invented the mRNA technique and such. Not some spineless do gooder who does what he is told to do to make money for the hospital from the government. People need to research for themselves and use good common sense.

You mean those us who are old enouugh to remember the Kennedy assassination but for some mysterious reason have managed to avoid contracting polio, tetanus rubella, hepatitis, influenza, measles, mumps, chickenpox, diptheria, smallpox and malaria?

Those of us that remember a time before tobacco manufacturers put the Surgeon General's warning on a pack of cigarettes to cover their arse because consumers refused to heed the advice of medical professionals?

No, I wasn't including you. People like you, who make posts like you did (and consistently do elsewhere) should just continue to let others do the thinking for you. Those of us with IQ's north of the current ambient temperature should use our own judgment and not think in simple terms like "We must not question the experts - after all, they're experts!"

That’s unfortunate but predictable. I haven’t tried to talk to my folks about it since the very beginning.


That’s part of the issue. It may actually be helpful the elderly, but basically no one else

It's true, as men get older, they get stuck in their ways and are stubborn as hell.

Not the case in my family. My daddy (74) tells everyone that they’re fckg nuts for getting a social experiment injection.

Let’s be honest about volcanictiger, I’m no expert but he may be significantly overestimating something here.

Oh please. Even as stupid as you are, you're not stupid enough to think you're smarter than anyone else here.

I think you are wrongly applying a single case to be a general rule.

Your FIL is probably been that way his entire life. It sucks to realize things about people you want to respect.
