    Again, I don't care if it's left wing propaganda, as long as that quote is correct.

    If it's not correct I'll be happy to correct it or remove it.

    Everything else you just said is bullshit. You don't care about being honest or impartial or you'd care more about provable data and facts. The scientific method.

    If you were actually being honest and impartial you would not have called into question an apparently legitimate quote without supporting citation.

    That's decidedly dishonest and impartial.

    So I guess we can add hypocritical to the list...

    Yes, you were wrong to ask the question with the intention of derailing the conversation. Agreed.

    From your link:

    and

    So your link would not seem to support your suggestion that they are 'as blue as blue gets'.

    very true but per the graph just one tier to the right. Thats close. So when i posted that link it wasnt so much claiming validity to my assertion as much as questioning your claim of not even being close. Moderate left is one tier from hard left, per their graph. I would say thats somewhat close. Definitely not as left as it gets, but its over there in the left.
    I honestly expected links to say they are balanced or right wing, with how you said not even close, and was going to post a link and say i was way off.
    I was still off. They aren't as left as it gets. But they are left.
    Thats all i was looking for.
    Thanks.

    72% fully vaccinated, not 75%.

    And the below graphic shows where the Netherlands rates as a country, adjusted per population. At the very low end of deaths, which is why their hospitals aren't overrun and they've been doing generally better than the rest of Europe, not to mention the US and the rest of the world...

    I believe in those days and in this usage 'several' meant 'various', not 'multiple'.

    Pew Research ran a study on vaccine rates. Can post link if anyone wants. Among other things sought correlation between religious views and vaccinations in US. Atheists are most vaccinated at 90%. Some on the right conflate atheism with left wing. There are actually very conservative atheists (the late Christopher Hitchens supported Iraq war, defended torture and vehemently opposed legal abortion) but even they are pro science. White evangelical Christians are least vaccinated. In that case there is strong right political correlation.

    Yes, it does. Not as great an advantage as for adults but still an advantage.
    Now, I can back up my claim, can you back up yours?
    From the Mayo clinic (perhaps you've heard of them):
    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...19-vaccines-for-kids/art-20513332#if-children
    click on the link "If children don't frequently experience severe illness with COVID-19, why do they need a COVID-19 vaccine?"

    When you sign up for military service you lose the right to refuse orders like this.

    People should think about that before they sign up. The constitution no longer protects you in most cases as long as you're enlisted.
