    If a church doesn’t believe in science, tell them to cut power to the building and do services without AC, lights or microphones.

    That’s science, too.

    I made my usual "Funny how Dr. Dauci didn't have "credibility issues' when he was working for the five presidents before Trump," and someone told me indeed he had, during the. AIDS crisis.

    I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. I asked them to back up their claim and they said look it up myself. Uh, if they make the claim, they have to back it up. I'm not doing their research for them.

    Maybe only 2-3 more weeks of restrictions in Oregon.

    Oregon to end mask requirements when 70% vaccination mark is reached

    Then it's open-season for the virus on the mouth-breathers. Happy hunting.

    "Case in point, only 18 of the 346 COVID-19 patients who have been hospitalized in the St. Charles Hospital system in central Oregon since March had been vaccinated -- meaning 95% of coronavirus patients were unvaccinated, said Dr. Louis D’Avignon, a pulmonary critical care doctor. Only one of the 98 COVID-19 deaths in the hospital system has been of a vaccinated person, he said.

    “This is essentially a preventable disease for almost everyone,” D’Avignon said. “We don’t need to keep seeing this happen over and over again in our ICUs.”

    Oregon's percentage will double Alabama's.

    "Since March ..." is rather expansive, don't you think?

    The value of being able to pin the pandemic on a Wuhan lab accident is it gives everyone someone to blame. As I've said before, the biggest problem American society has had dealing with COVID-19 is facing a personal inconvenience they can't sue, get an exception from or punch in the face. That said, there is no doubt in my mind the Chinese government will simply not permit it. It's not even about Xi or the Communist Party, it's about a culture that has had an inferiority complex toward the west for centuries. If, by the power of over a billion potential customers, the Chinese government can nearly get the Houston Rockets' GM fired for saying nice things about Hong Kong (not to mention the various organizations and celebrities who have accidentally called Taiwan a country or had their picture taken with the Dalai Lama), they're simply never going to fess up to starting a global pandemic or allow anyone to pin it on them.

    No. March is when the vaccine became widely available in Oregon, and not just to people in the over-75 age group, in every county. Those who got shots have been healthy. Those who didn't are far, far, far more likely to get infected.

    And to quit cooking. Because a skillet transferring the heat to food is science.

    He seems to be describing life as we know it. There have always been failures of expertise. People are imperfect. People are greedy - as several of his examples show. Circumstances change. Most of what happens in this country, guided by "highly educated people" works for the guy who fixes your HVAC to your children's teachers to the doctor who replaced your knee. And nothing about the lab leak theory means the solution is hatching a plot to kidnap your governor, harass your county health official or instigate a coup.
