    No one has said obesity isn't a problem in this country.

    How is getting a vaccine giving up your freedom?

    Well, yes. We've known that obese people are in more danger from any other health risk for what, 500 years?

    Getting a vaccine isn't 'giving your freedom'. That's just silly.

    100% agree.

    One can, but one shouldn't.

    Yes, maybe for any one person. Definitely for the vaccinated population as a whole.

    Not sure how you can say that. What is the theory of how the vaccine keeps the virus going?

    That's the danger of anecdotal evidence / assumptions about unknowable outcomes.

    100% agree on the latter, not so much on the former.

    Bombshell reporting by CNN here. Turns out, when you lose weight you actually weigh less than you did before you lost weight. Seems like it checks out, I’m looking forward to seeing what the fact checkers say though.

    Déjà vu: French scientists detect ANOTHER variant linked to travel to Cameroon and say it carries 46 mutations that may make it more vaccine-resistant and infectious
    • Mutant strain has 46 mutations making it more vaccine resistant and infectious
    • But there is little sign that it is outcompeting the dominant Omicron variant
    • Some 12 cases have been spotted to date, linked to travel to Cameroon

    I call BS on CNN. After you lose those pounds, if you start moving very fast, you gain much more back.

    Of course most people don't travel near the speed of light, but it could happen.

    From the very start of this event your freedom is taken piece by piece.
    Problem I got with your question is that at some point you will wake up robbed and you will still tell me you only gave them a piece.

    Crazy how many people getting tested right now. I saw a bunch of makeshift pop up test sites over the weekend.

    Positivity rate is 32% in LA right now I guess.

    Can't you make the same argument about any rule in society whatsoever?

    My freedom is taken by jaywalking laws!
    My freedom is taken by laws against murder!
    My freedom is taken by having to stand in line at the DMV!
    My freedom is taken by having to drive on the right side of the road!
    My freedom is taken by having to pay for my groceries before I leave the store!

    etc. etc. ad infinitum

    Isn't that truth in Cali already?:)

    I mean, it surely wouldn't happen in Korea.

    Can you see the difference in paying money for driving on the wrong side and being beaten by police for not wearing a mask?

    Yes. Can you see that not being beaten by police for not wearing a mask is not actually a freedom that we've given up?

    Not to mention seat belts and sorting my garbage into three bins!
    My cat lost her freedom when I got her vaccinated. Actually, she lost her freedom when she went from feral to companion cat.
