keep boosting pete.....I think you can get another one in a month or two....
the entire statement

On Tuesday, EMA vaccine strategy chief Marco Cavaleri said there was still no data supporting the need for a fourth COVID vaccine dose. And even if multiple boosters do prove to be necessary, they would need to be spaced out in the style of annual flu jabs, rather than delivered every several months. He also warned that overly frequent booster doses could potentially lead to "problems with immune response."

thanks for the whole story

Right, wayne ?

that’s why no democrats are criticizing Manchin or Sinema.

as always, it’s ok when democrats do it, but bad when republicans do it.

false equivalence”, right?

thank you jim for another episode of Everythings equal


Criticism is fine but that's not what Tucker or Ron were doing is it ..

they want a SC Judge to rule with partisan loyalties ...

it's not remotely close to expecting Manchin or Sinema. backing a Democratic legislation...

Get back to me when what happened to Liz happens to Manchin or Sinema

and the entire democratic party wants Manchin and Sinema to fall in line.

The GOP had a minor civil war. The Bush/Cheney wing lost. it happens.

the democrats are also having a civil
war between moderates and progressives. it’s still being waged. it’s a riot to behold.

i’m. it saying these things are identical. But they’re comparable.

and as always with you, you attack republicans for doing things which don’t bother you when liberals
do it. because you have zero principles.

you whine when conservatives speak out against fellow conservatives who break ranks. but you can’t utter a syllable of criticism when the left speaks out against fellow liberals who break ranks.

as always, it’s only problematic when republicans do it.

Maxine Waters said publicly that Sinema and Manchin don’t care about black people. Go ahead and defend that. Waters called them racists.

JIM all that ^^^ and you Avoid Bretts a SC justice and how conservatives want his head

and pivot to Blacks and Sinema and Manchin? again as if the 2 are remotely the same


Trump told the journalist he is very upset with Kavanaugh’s record so far, arguing he doesn’t have “the courage you need to be a great justice.”

“I saved his life,” Trump said of Kavanaugh. “He wouldn't even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him.” that's not looking for quid pro quo is it?

just like the dems ya ok

Silly, Sinema thinks she’s going to be President and Manchin is in it for his family’s fortune.
That’s why Sinema has no chance of being re-elected and her delusional idea that she’s the centrist candidate for President is just that, delusional.

West Virginia is ranked where it is among states because Manchin cares about his pocketbook while his state ranks in the bottom 5 in almost every data point.
Taxes are cheap there and nobody has teeth, it’s your kinda place.

you, not me, criticized republicans for going after their own for not towing them karts line. but as always, you refuse to hold democrats to the same standard.

i made no comment about either side, other than to say they’re either both right or both wrong.

i like kavanaugh a lot. i won’t agree with every single decision he makes, and that’s ok, but i like the guy. for sure he’s not the rapist your side desperately tries to make him out to be.

i don’t especially like manchin or sinema, but i like what they’re doing with the fillibuster.

and i think those who attack their own for thinking for themselves once in awhile, are wrong to do so. it’s wrong for republicans to do it, and it’s equally wrong for democrats rats to do it.

good luck finding any hypocrisy there.

What happens at Georgetown stays at Georgetown, I like beer was never over the line drunk and F.B.I. assistant director, Jill C. Tyson, said that the most “relevant” of the 4,500 tips the agency received during an investigation into Mr. Kavanaugh’s past were referred to White House lawyers in the Trump administration, whose handling of them remains unclear.

The letter left uncertain whether the F.B.I. itself followed up on the most compelling leads. The agency was conducting a background check rather than a criminal investigation, meaning that “the authorities, policies, and procedures used to investigate criminal matters did not apply,” the letter said.

That’s plenty of due diligence for a lifetime appointment 🤡

Now it seems Ron’s sees the benefit of kowtowing to his anti vaccine and pro freedom crowd Paying Trump as pro vaccine and anti freedom and blamed "people like" Dr. Anthony Fauci

The new darling of the MAGA universe he’ll lie and lie for a vote and they will love him for it

You don’t get it do you ..Iam not saying anything but Ron is

Ron’s taking a hard right Turn suggesting Trumps a moderate lol

Trump “uncharacteristically out of step with the hard-line elements of his party’s base.” DeSantis’ COVID response in many ways follows an anti-science playbook set in motion by Trump, who now, with even his lukewarm defense of vaccines, is perhaps no longer extreme enough for his own movement. “DeSantis may or may not actually be more delusional on COVID than Donald Trump,”

Desantis is being a political jerk with the vaccines, I agree.

Poor victims

In polling 90% of R voters say Christianity is under attack in US; 2/3-3/4 say Whites now face as much discrimination as minorities; ~2/3 say immigrants are threatening US traditions; ~55% say "traditional way of US life disappearing so fast we may need to use force to save it"

By the way, vaccination is not a "deeply personal decision." It is a routine public health requirement in a civilized society.

when a christian baker can’t choose to not participate in a gay wedding without being hounded out if business, in my opinion christians are under attack, though i’m obviously using the word “attack” pretty loosely.

pete, you’re denying that your side overplays the race card? seriously?

Every time the left doesn’t get exactly what they want, they blame racism. Perhaps people have had enough of being called racist because they don’t always agree with Nancy Pelosi.
