      @Jolly let me ask a question... Will a Baccine Resistant strain be more likely to develop in an unvaccinated person where there’s less evolutionary pressure on the virus to mutate, or in somebody that is a breakthrough case)

        TL;DR

        Stay ignorant.

        Some of y'all sit around and kvetch, because people aren't being vaccinated. Might want to try to figure out what they are thinking...

        Fuck the American Thinker. I'm sick of their shit.

        You honestly think I'm the ignorant one here?

        As a matter of fact, I live on the edge of the Bible Belt of this country. It's not a lot different from what you call middle America. It is populated by a lot of ignorant social conservative and intolerant libertarians of convenience. Ignoramuses for the most part.

                As long as they can attack the host successfully, I would think they are less likely to mutate. Less likely, due to lack of antigenic shift right now, but viruses gotta virus and I don't see why we won't see an antigenic drift over time.

                Now, once we get several mutations out there, the likelihood of shifts rather than drifts can arise, most likely from two different mutations infecting the body at the same time, causing some jumbling of the RNA.

                And then, our vaccine may, or may not work.

                BTW, all that stuff I just said and a dollar bill, will buy a small coffee at McDonald's...The dollar bill part is very important.

                  I didn't say it was saintlike. I said it is complicated in many ways, because of the skills needed to live it successfully. I don't think you could be stupid and succeed.

                    You want any examples of Amish goodfornothings, junkies, spousal abusers or anything else, just let me know.

                    The Amish aren't special. They're people who live differently, but they're still people.

                      And I'm equally sure you have. Like I said it's not a lot different from the Bible Belt and middle America with which you are familiar with and revere. Y'all feel right at home in around Caroline or Eckville, Alberta.

                          Actually more agriculture than oil patch, although many also work, or worked, oilpatch service jobs in the winter months.

                                  How can you be woke and a social justice leader and refuse to say? I’d love to hear that argument.

                                    Depends on how shitty the people are who are asking, I'd guess. If I felt like the question was more like a pre-emptive attack I'd tell them to go to hell with their question, too.

                                    And yes I still think those who are capable and should get vaccinated but still don't are fucking assholes.

                                      How can you be woke and a social justice leader and refuse to say? I’d love to hear that argument.

                                      Depends on how shitty the people are who are asking, I'd guess. If I felt like the question was more like a pre-emptive attack I'd tell them to go to hell with their question, too.

                                      And yes I still think those who are capable and should get vaccinated but still don't are fucking assholes.

                                      Great point. That’s why the wokearati need to ask him and at least CNN surfaced it. Now CNN needs to follow up to be authentic.

                                        I think Mr. James can do whatever he wants about the vaccine.

                                        And I feel no desire to insult him if he chooses not to get it.

                                        I don't care at all about his reasons or lack of reasons.

                                        This is an essential quality of living free. I hope Mr. James never loses it.

                                        And aside from the question of freedom, I think the possibility of him hurting any innocents by not getting the vaccine is so small as to be meaningless.

                                          What is the role of public health in your view? Let’s say the pandemic hit the young and otherwise healthy are we all free to make our own decisions?
