If it were a naturally occurring coronavirus, maybe so. But if it truly, as has been reported, come from gain of function development or modification by humans, then that's one of the most inhumane statements a person can make about other humans.

Though I'm not at all shocked at who made the statement.

Regardless of how it came to be, doesn't matter at this point, it's here and will always be here (in one form or another) and there are precautionary measures one can take. If one chooses to not take those precautionary measures, then however things turn out is what it is.
Oh, I assure you, I take full credit and responsibility for saying that. Thanks for quoting it.
I would think you would totally agree with it based on all of your postings.
If you'd like it repeated, I'd be happy to do so.

I already said I'm not shocked that you would make that inhumane of a statement.

Sounds straight out of Total Recall.

Gotcha Think'n I already stated how much I care about your opinion.

Cliff, think'n it's time to move this thread to the Trash Can also. It's no longer serving a purpose.

He didn't ask your opinion. Nor did I.
You aren't trying to bury your statement are you?

What I don't understand is why anyone not interested in either COVID Vaccinations or test kits would give a damn and be so adamant about it. Seems like some just want to troll and argue. Could be just my interpretation but, that's the way it seems.
At this point, this thread no longer holds any significance so let'r rip for all I care.

And I truly don't understand why his comment bothers you, other than that he seems to be admitting that he's tired of seemingly arguing with a stump. (Sometimes ya' gotta give up and walk away. I get it.)
So... do you choose to take it seriously? Or do you choose to ignore it? Or do you just cross your fingers?

But, IMHO, it needs to be taken seriously. Especially if it has gone through the "gain of function" development that you speak of. (Probably true. Let's assume so.)
But you seem to have stated your position.

I will mention that I knew several (seemingly healthy, young) people who didn't take it seriously, who have now assumed room temperature. And at least one other who has a very long road to recovery.
To reiterate... decisions have consequences.

Several good points Steve.

You seem to think that your behavior doesn't fit the disparaging remarks?

I shared what my doctor told us based on his experiences and maryjane repeated some studies.

Just let it go and don't worry about it. Everything doesn't require insults.

During my recent physical, I asked my doctor - point blank - where he stood on the vax / anti-vax discussion.
He admitted that there were a lot of different opinions and theories, and left a little bit of "wiggle room".
But then he pointed across the street to the hospital and said, "There are ~75 people in ICU, with COVID, in that hospital. None of them are vaccinated. Knowing that, I would choose to get the shot."

Truthfully, I don't remember everything that has been posted, before. But it would seem that there's argument/discussion even within the medical community.
The bottom line is that nobody knows with 100% certainty what is the "correct" thing to do - or NOT do.
Certainly, what's correct for some will be detrimental (if not lethal) to others.

To those who say "They're making this up as they go..." You're right! We've never had to deal with this before. As new information comes in, we're having to adapt.
Are people over-reacting? Most certainly. But it's what we (as a group) tend to do.
I certainly don't think it's a "plot". If nothing else, they're just not that smart. I just believe that (mostly) people are trying to do the best that they can. (With that said, I don't trust Fauci any father than I can throw him. I believe he's in it for the recognition and funding. Smug bastard.)
