‘Pfizer’s Covid vaccine brought in $8.8 billion in revenue for the second quarter, while sales of Paxlovid totaled $8.1 billion. The company maintained its 2022 sales guidance for the vaccine of $32 billion and is still expecting $22 billion for Paxlovid.’

Pfizer quarterly sales surge to record high, driven by Covid vaccine and antiviral treatment Paxlovid

The pharmaceutical company booked net income of $9.9 billion, a 78% increase over the same period during 2021.

So if we all work together, we can all mandate my box designs for happiness or some bullshit, then we can all make hella cash by getting to gov to mandate my box designs, and we’ll get them to sign a law, where if my boxes sound shitty, too bad. Can’t sue me and can’t not have my box; it’s perfect, almost Nazi like.

There is no proof your box designs are any good. For all we know, they actually cause early failure in the woofer from poor design.

Biden was no good before he was helped into the White House and you people ignored how worthless he was because of how you were told to feel about Trump. Trump gave you all a heads up and told you exactly what would happen if you put Biden in the White House and that is exactly what happened. Some of you Democrats still cling on to Biden and think he has done or is doing good... is it pride or stupidity or both that is clouding your judgment now? This is what happens when you let news channels decide who you will vote for.

We need some fresh heterosexual minds in congress and in the White House.

Just keep in mind that Trump won on hatred of Hilary and Trump went out of his way to create hatred for himself because the more the left hated him, the more neo-cons loved him. Too bad for Trump his campaign strategy backfired.

"If the exposure to COVID-19 stays the same, as more individuals are vaccinated, more cases,
hospitalizations, and deaths will be in vaccinated individuals, as they will continue to make up
more and more of the population. For example, if 100% of the population was vaccinated, 100% of
cases would be among vaccinated people." - From the linked study.

What this study does not do is take into account those unvaccinated people that have had COVID-19. In my opinion this is an incomplete study.

Does it really matter? If you assume previous infection grants one 100% immunity, then the #s only get worse. Are you taking exception to the report under reporting how much more infectious covid is among the unvaxxed?

Really? The evangelicals even got Reagan elected. ”The moral majority” was a big group in the 80s and they didn’t trust science. I have to disagree here. As religion dies science grows and religion has consistently become less and less relevant with each passing year.

I remember Reagan catering to the "moral majority," but I don't recall the rejection of sound medical advice or just science in general.

i do. I also remember the attacks on free speech in music by the PMRC. The internet didnt exist to see everyone’s opinion like we do now. That’s the real difference.

Did a report on pmrc for my senior research paper. Originally started out as paper in support of Reagan's Star Wars program, but the evidence against it working was overwhelming, so I changed to anti-pmrc. Pretty crazy to think Gore actually lead a charge against music artists just to increase his profile.

All that said how do we really know if people were more or less apt to question science if we really didn't know their opinions. While I agree religion is an indicator, but I know many a neo-con who rejects both science and religion. Imho, the rejection of science is tied to a distrust of all power structures, ie gov't, UN, media, science, religion, etc. That’s why conspiracy theories are popular with the neo-cons

They are ignoring/leaving out those with natural immunity. It's an incomplete study.

Why leave out the people with natual immunity? Is it because if they state how effective it is they will sell less vaccines? Probably.

People who you think are conspiracy theorists aren’t anti-science. They think scientists lie for greed. Scientists are still corruptible people, they have very high positions of power in today’s time, and money tends to corrupt every facet of a power structure, at a minimum, because it’s made of humans. These scientists in white priest coats coming through your TV, while others are censored off, might create a chance or indicate major corruption in the medical establishment. Trust the $cientism. Science has never been used to harm people, ever!

The problem is that you think if one person is bad, then ALL must be bad.
If one cop is dirty, are they ALL dirty?
If one surgeon is a drunk, they must all be drunks?

The conspiracy lies in the fact that you think the entire scientific community is dirty, they are all covering for each other, there is no oversight, and no one can figure it out to blow the whole scheme wide open.
What are the odds?

You missed my point. I referenced people who distrust all power structures; science, religion, corporations, gov't, technology, etc. IOW - you.

As I've said before, it's the lack of evidence that proves "they" are covering up a conspiracy.

Good news. I guess the good folks of AZ deserve a little something for their role in helping get Biden elected.

If one cop is good are they all good...
Do all surgeon's graduate top of the class
Is it possible for human nature and greed to be prevalent in the scientific community...
