I like mine over easy,and dip my buttered toast in the yoke 
YepI like mine over easy,and dip my buttered toast in the yoke
it's a vaccine against munchies!
it only works once though. repeated boosters will be needed...
well...you take a bunch of stoners sitting around bullshitting, and suddenly show up with food, you gotta expect some degree of deviation .
got a joke. Southern Baptist minister was trapped on his roof by a flash flood. guy in jon boat pulls up and sez "hop in preacher! i'll take you to dry land..." minister says "no, my faith in Jesus will save me." hour later, flood rolls his house into the raging water & he drowns. he goes to Heaven ( he IS a minister) sails through the interview with Saint Peter & heads off to find Jesus. when he catches up to him, he asks "why, Lord, after i spent my life doing your bidding, did you not help me?" Jesus looks at him for a moment & says "hey, did the guy in the jon boat not get there in time?"
that's how they get you!
More a fisher of Delta than a fisher of men ?
Won’t be needing them guns for the same reason right?
wake up call'
According to the latest US study with data from January through July, the Pfizer vaccine would have been only 42% effective against this delta infection. In the words of an official of President Biden, this is "a wake-up call," he told Axios news agency. The delta variant gained momentum in July, when the vaccines against it lost their effectiveness, according to the study.
This news was this morning in one of the biggest Dutch news papers.

When I see large groups, I figure they’re the same folks who are anti vac and anti mask.
Herd immunity only works for the virus. It’s getting stronger. It’s much easier for a virus to mutate than a human. God doesn’t hold a special place for humans. We think we’re somehow special.

I read a story this morning of a young Southwest Airlines flight attendant who was vaccinated and “did everything right” and was recently hospitalized and died.
Just goes to show that the vaccines are not 100% effective, but compared to the unvaccinated, it’s still night and day.
I read another article yesterday that talked about how infectious the delta variant is.

"At the end of the day, this delta variant is much more transmissible than the alpha variant," the official added. "That's the message people need to take from this." The official requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media on this topic.
The difference between an R0 of three and six is massive. For example, with the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, one person would infect about three people, and each of those people would infect three more. So after only two rounds of transmission, cases would rise by nine (3 x 3 = 9). After three rounds, cases would rise by 27 (3 x 3 x 3 = 27). But with the delta variant, the first person would infect six others, who would each then infect six more people. So after two rounds of transmission, cases would already rise by 36 (6 x 6 = 36). After three rounds, cases would surge by 216 (6 x 6 x 6 = 216).
With an R0 of six, delta will be extremely difficult to slow down unless populations reach high levels of vaccination, Wenseleers says. And even then surges in cases will still occur, as is now happening in Iceland and parts of the U.S. The vaccine is less than 90% effective at stopping infections with delta, meaning at least 1 in 10 people could have breakthrough infections. And vaccinated people can still spread the virus. In addition, people who aren't vaccinated have a very high risk of infection, Wenseleers says. "Anyone that chooses not to get vaccinated will in all likelihood get infected by the delta variant over the coming months."
27 vs. 216
That’s a huge difference.

...it is truly sad to see just how many American's fundamentally don't understand liberty.
