    The Vaccine

    First I didn't say it doesn't help - reread my post. Just don't do enough to make worth it the way its implemented. All I'm saying is if I'm going to spend 7hrs in the room or 5 hrs on a plane with someone that is covid positive and I think that pulling the collar of my t-shirt up over my nose...

    The Vaccine

    Not saying masks don't do anything. Obviously they do, covering your mouth when you sneeze and cough also "helps". What I'm saying is that when you are in a room with 25 other kids with, for the most part, loose fitting cloth masks on - the masks are not going to prevent you from getting...

    The Vaccine

    Masks are another one. Schools are requiring masks based on "science". Bull shit, there is no way you can convince me that a loosely fitting cotton mask will keep a kid from catching covid from other kids while spending 7 hrs in the same room breathing the same air as each other. Science does...

    The Vaccine

    You are making my point for me. You may trust in the science you read as much as you like, we all need to. My point is that science is not absolute truth at any point, yet this sentiment more and more. Arguments against hesitation or consideration are simply becoming "but its science" like...

    The Vaccine

    Anyone else getting pretty tired of the growing Science is Truth crowd. Seems when science works out its absolute truth and can do no wrong and when it doesn't work out well... its "evolving and learning". Seems today in mainstream that Science can do no wrong. In my opinion science can do...

    Winterization with antifreeze

    I was at a boat show a couple years ago and there was a Yamaha tech there at one of the large Yamaha dealer stages. I got a chance to talk to him and one of the things I asked him was do they recommend antifreeze in the northern sub zero temp winters. He wouldn't give me a definitive answer...

    Winterization with antifreeze

    I imagine you know this, but for others reading this... The bearing is a sealed bearing so you aren't greasing the actual bearing, the grease is only to keep the seals in good condition. There has been talk on this forum on other threads that some skip greasing this altogether and have had the...

    The Vaccine

    I don't why you are "astounded". Its true Ivermectin has not been "proven" to be affective against Covid. However, there are still ongoing studies looking at it. Why? Because it has shown to have anti-viral activity on virus replication in the past. Ivermectin has a history of studied use...

    The Vaccine

    For me, 1-2 years (did I mention I'm not against this vaccine). To force/mandate someone to inject something that is not 100% safe, there is no length of time that is ok, especially in the case of a vaccine that may or may not prevent something you may or may not get. In the case of...

    The Vaccine

    The focus of my post was on NEW medications, medical innovations and the fact that the oversight of these rollouts is fallible - we don't know what we don't know. Sorry if that was unclear. Having millions take it does not make it 100% safe and having it out there for 1 year doesn't mean we...

    The Vaccine

    This logic goes to the fact that we need to give people the CHOICE especially when it comes to medications, which will always have risk. New breakthroughs in medicine are essential but also will always come with a risk. We do need oversight (FDA/governemnt) but that oversight will never be...

    Come on... - INTENT??? You know full well the INTENT of the OSHA regulation is to force as many people to vaccinate as possible. Between the cost to companies for weekly testing and the simple logistics of it, it was intended to force company wide vaccination in the end. This OSHA ploy was...

    The Vaccine

    What's new is that is it being applied to current employment status. Its not being only used as a hiring requirement as in the past, its being used as a reason for termination. You give 25+ years of service not knowing that some point in the future the company would terminate you for not...

    So we are splitting hairs I guess. For those who can qualify for a medical and religious exception - otherwise there is no exception. Corporations have been emboldened by mandates and direction coming from the Federal level - religious exceptions that were a pretty liberal exception in the...

    The Vaccine

    I know people personally that have lost their job that has been their livelihood for 25+ yrs. So I guess you think we are still being given the "option" until someone puts a gun to our heads?? The very fact that they had to weaponize OHSA to do this in a round about way speaks to how it goes...

    The Vaccine

    Because you tend to throw everyone that disagrees with your vaccination stance in this same tank. And if you really listened you'd realize that many of them are not against the vaccine but against all the bull shit surrounding it.

    The Vaccine

    So natural immunity isn't 100% across the board. Guess what neither are the vaccines. Yet the mainstream is so bullish on vaccines and so bearish on natural immunity. It seems counter intuitive to all but mock natural immunity when we should be championing the possibility that natural...

    No worries, it’s not you - I’m just in the wrong group of people for this discussion- it’s all good. Edit: my frustration now is my posts being labeled political and harmful - just time to be done.
