The Coronavirus Prep/Sweat Thread Part Omicron: Winter is coming AGAIN. - Page 541 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Don't know, but a few weeks ago my kid bro, who is a pharmacoviligance compliance officer with a consultancy that does drug safety work for big pharma firms, said he didn't think challenge trials, with a virus of known and considerable lethality, could go ahead before January. We're kind of in uncharted waters because there's never been a hurry-up like this before and there are pretty obvious liability issues.

Those liability issues are crying out for a legislative solution. Indemnity for vaccine manufacturers and significant payments to challenge trial volunteers.

To those who say that the disadvantaged are more likely to volunteer if paid, I respond that the disadvantaged have been much more vulnerable to covid, and that it is precisely those populations I am trying to save with my challenge trial theory.

Glad to see, Si, that minds can be changed on the internet!

Toothache or the corona? What say you?

Go. I went to the dentist 2-3 months ago and was very impressed with the precautions in the office. YMMV, of course, but you can always turn around if you get spooked--at least you can before they start digging in your mouth.

Lol NFL in general, but Denver has 0 QB's this week because one came up pos and the other 3 didn't take the simplest care to wear a mask, so now they are all ineligible:

27 - Your post enabled me to pick up the wide receiver from the Broncos practice squad for my fantasy football team. He is going to be throwing bombs tomorrow from from my WR spot.

As a science head this is one big sack of **** thrown on the public by politicians. The average age of death from covid 19 is higher than the average age of death......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA lol tha'ts just hilarious!

If covid purely just took maybe 6-12 months off of life expectancy for most people, USA could expect a huge decrease of expected deaths in 2021, after all, all those expected to die in 2021 died in the last 8 months.

If you think this is actually going to be the case, hit me up, Il give you action if you truly think that 2021 brings less deaths than 2019.

Last edited by ashley12; 11-30-2020 at 12:42 PM. Reason: I want the 2021 is more deaths side than 2019 obv
