Except all of the vaccines we get as children. And I completely understand we're not looking at a 100% working rate but a 95-98% working rate isn't unreasonable to ask for. They simply don't work well enough. If you're healthy, and NOT OVERWEIGHT (like most people who are having major issues), you're already looking at incredible rates of survival and living a normal life a week later. Needing multiple boosters a year to just stay up to date with the current strand seems pretty obvious that it doesn't work all that well, unless you're getting a booster every 5 months, per the CDC.

Except it isn't a guarantee a covid vaccine would have saved his life.

"To be fair, Lightning buyers get more than 33 extra kWh for their extra 20 grand. Although Ford nominally lists the battery upgrade as a $10,000 option, it is bundled with Equipment Group 312A (listed as a $9,500 option, despite the fact that you can't separate it from the Extended-Range Battery). While confusing to consumers (@balthazar) at best and intentionally misleading (@balthazar) at worst, opting for the combined equipment and battery package does net Lightning XLT buyers quite a bit of extra features, such as 20-inch wheels, Ford's latest Co-Pilot 360 Advanced Driver Assist System, power tailgate with tailgate step and work surface, heated front seats and steering wheel, and the 9.6-kW Pro Power generator, among other things." https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-ford-f-150-lightning-extended-range-battery-configurator/

My doctor did not specify what strand I had. I should have asked. My exact reasoning for not feeling the need to get covid-vaxxed. One friend (unknowingly) spread this to three of us. Both of my other friends were vaccinated and at least one booster. All three of us were sick. None of us were bad beyond 3-4 days. That's my issue with the covid vaccines, there's no guarantee.

As this has been gone over many times already, you know damn well you're getting A LOT more than just 70 miles of range for that 20k.

Much to nobody's surprise, I finally caught the covid last week. Tuesday-Thursday I had on and off body aches also with an on and off mild fever. Waking up in the morning was definitely the worst and as I took medicine and vitamins throughout the day I felt better each day but woke up feeling pretty crappy. For the most part I didn't have a cough but i wouldn't say it was completely nonexistent. No loss of taste or smell. Thursday night and all Friday was the worst as my body felt much better but for whatever reason my throat was killing me. It was extremely sore and talking or drinking hurt. I wouldn't say I'm 100% today but I'm a good 90% with a tiny cough and my throat is still a little sore. Much to EVERYBODY'S surprise though, I wasn't hospitalized nor did I die.

Missouri is similar in that they base off of vehicle value. I have no clue how the calculation works, as I've never needed to know.

The mustang was stuck in the live-axel-rut prior to 2015. Them stepping into the 20th century with IRS made a world of a difference.

Everybody just glossing over this statement? Does nobody else thing that'd fckd up? I wonder why the death rates for unvaccinated are higher, could it possibly be they are getting less help from the medical system, as clearly admitted here?

Yet, you probably can't prove how many vaccinated individuals have died because of the unvaccinated. It's all just assumption because there are vaccinated in hospitals as well. There are SO many variables at play to make a claim of "the unvaccinated are killing the vaccinated" is pretty absurd.

Are they both IRS or solid rear axle?

Nailed it. My parents had an Envoy XL with the Atlas and that's exactly how I felt about it. The crappy 4spd 100% ruined how that engine felt. if it just had a decent 6spd behind it, it would have felt so much better. It would have felt at least as good of an engine as it was.

So Cadillac decided on this application that just "V" is sufficient and doesn't need "V Blackwing" here

It looks nice but I still miss the vertical headlights. I wish they would have kept that signature item on the newest gen.

He's not wrong. This should have been done a decade ago because it would have been easy cash for Cadillac/GM. They had the expensive bit already paid for and the technology for the suspension stuff. They really only needed to engineer an AWD system capable of this output. There's no doubt in my mind that they would have sold every one they build for the last ten years. It'll be amazingly good *for what it is*.

Are you trying to say that 100% of the COVID vaccinated people that are hospitalized are there solely because of other medical issues? Do you have any proof of this because I don't believe it one bit. The same way I don't believe the only 9 people you know to have caught COVID that aren't vaccinated were hospitalized. Were none of those nine people in the first year when there was no vaccine available or all within the last year when there were vaccines available? I've never heard St Louis considered south but I believe it has southern roots with jazz music and all.

Then why'd you use that as justification as to why I'm republican? That's the key here. The unvaccinated are the ONLY ones spreading those. Vaccinated people are still spreading COVID and still getting sick from it. Yes, at a much lower rate.

You don't know a single person locally who's contracted COVID? The ONLY people you know who've contracted COVID have been coworkers in Boston and your son's girlfriend? You do know STL is a democratic city, right? There is nothing in the science that's stopping me. It's just the fact that it isn't a game-ender. The vaccinations we all got when we were little 100% prevented the spread and illnesses to be contracted. None of the COVID vaccines do this. If any of the current vaccines 100% stopped the spread once contracted (okay, it wouldn't exactly need to be 100%, but an extremely high number) I would have gotten it a year ago. It doesn't stop the spread and only minimizes the symptoms.

I straight up do not believe 100% of the people you know who've gotten it have been hospitalized. How many of those 100%(not sure what the actual number is here, that'd be useful information) were older than 60 and were well overweight? Yes, I have stated more than simply my age. My health routines and fitness regiment are large factors that I've mentioned as well. To say I'm not currently vaccinated because of a political affiliation is straight up ignorant on your part. Why in the world would I rely on a political stance to guide my health and well being? There isn't a single politician that gives a flying fck about either of us. All they care is about their dollars and power.

So it's just your personal feeling, 100% anecdotal, 0% provable, that the numbers are being skewed by a few states? The numbers could be skewed in the other direction, too. Very large increase of a very small number. I'm sure we all know dozens of people who've gotten COVID. How many have you known needing to be hospitalized?

Yes, non-vaccinated have a higher percentage of being hospitalized but look at the numbers for yourself. I can't take a screen shot while my curser is on the graph so I'll link the page and let you know the numbers. Last week graphed, ending Nov 27th for 18-49 year-olds Unvaccinated hospitalization rate: 20.8 per 100,000 = 0.0208% Vaccinated hospitalization rate: 0.9 per 100,000 = 0.0009% Yes, that's a large gap but 0.0208% is still an incredibly small number. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#covidnet-hospitalizations-vaccination https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html I find it very strange that the 18-49 year range is BY FAR the largest age range. It's certainly misleading statistically as there's no reason why that group should cover 31 years while the other categories are less than have that range. Use real statistics to back this rather than news articles. News articles are 100% to get you to click and watch/listen/read their article. There's no splashing headline with 70 year-old, obese individual passed from COVID. What else would you like to know? I'm open to discussion. And the odds are vastly on my side.

Did you forget your own words? -------- It is an EXTREMELY LOW percentage that life will be permanently altered *when* I catch COVID. Can't disagree with this statement

Vaccinated also spread it and plenty still get sick.

Why would one care if the unvaxxed get vaxxed or not? If one is vaxxed they should be just fine.

That's a very good point and I hadn't thought about their health care system. Yeah, that makes sense then.
