Is it really ridiculous?  Not one of the COVID-19 vaccines have been FDA approved.

True, but the effectiveness of the vaccine has been empirically demonstrated.

The FDA is always a few years behind reality.

 No offense Racer I don't know if you're an engineer or not.  

I worked as a civil engineer after college, but decided I didn’t like driving a desk, so when an opportunity to serve a 4 year state indentured apprenticeship as a truck and heavy equipment came along, I took it. 30 years later I “retired” , took a job driving semi trucks hauling oversized loads, then landed at The Big Shed a an aviation machinist.

Now I’m about 13 weeks from permanent retirement.

That's an odd path to aviation machinist.  Not really seeing the machinist training in there, but you got in.

Check this video out, just came across it.

Mike, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or trolling or, if you are one of the vaccine deniers.

Check this story out.  Jon Rahm, a professional golfer, probably lost 1.7 million dollars because he didn't get a shot.  And he's from Spain, one of the places that got hit the hardest in the beginning.

Johns Hopkins has improved their data presentation, link below.  Is the drop in US daily cases due to vaccines?  South America looks in terrible shape.  India is in the news because their population is so big, meaning large absolute numbers, but South America's rates are really high and climbing.  And they're planning a huge soccer tournament for the summer.

We're lucky here but the rest of the world is still in bad shape.

Here's another good site for seeing the current state of affairs.  It's odd how even the professional sites present the past instead of the present and future.  So much focus on what can't be changed.

Scroll down and this graphic shows up.  Tells you how bad things are now, not six months ago.

Can American banks cash reparation checks from China? I need a sheet of plywood.

"In addition, all nations should work together to present China for a bill of minimum USD 10 trillion to compensate for the damage they have caused and that is a very low number, the damage is far far greater. As a first step, all countries should collectively cancel any debt that they owe to China as a downpayment on reparations," he said at the convention.

No Mike I think it gets started by posting "mostly a fun post to push a few buttons"

The blue meme I posted is from someone else, I found on the internet...  mostly a fun post to push a few buttons.  Sorry if it triggered you.

One thing that does have me concerned is the constant censorship going on.  And, I won't stand for it here.  Asking me if I am "Q" just because I posted something you disagree with is how it all starts.  This website will always remain neutral.  There's always two sides to a story and, if we can't support that idea, then I will ask that all your COVID discussions be moved outside our car club.

You just need to be clear in your writing.  Posting random inflammatory things with no citations in a thread is worse than censorship.  I don't have the ability to censor anything.  You do though.

If you have problems with Fauci just speak clearly.  And, don't overlook that Fauci did not create the vaccine.  He is just one of many people involved.

How about a change in topic.  Where did it come from?

The bio-weapon premise has been around for decades.

Ripley discovers Burke ordered the colonists to investigate the derelict spaceship containing the alien eggs, intending to profit by recovering them for biological weapon research.
