Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
I didn't throw anything back at you about national versus regional rates. I don't remember anyone else doing so either, but I admit I could have ignored it (literally as in posters on ignore, or figuratively as in read it and didn't give it credence).
No I don't. I consistently say it isnt ONLY republicans..which you like to remind everyone of, always. In Detroit, the vaccination rate among blacks over 16, is 40%. What is Biden doing with this?
It isn't ONLY Republicans. It is largely, to the point of being the single largest group and the group with the largest discrepancy, Republicans that are refusing to get vaccinated. What is Biden doing? Begging them to get vaccinated. Directing federal employment agencies to require vaccinations as a condition of employment (Q/MAGA throws a fit). Directing federal agencies to impose mask mandates because not enough people are vaccinated (Q/MAGA throws a fit). Considered door-to-door vaccination education campaign (Q/MAGA throws a fit). Granting federal money to vaccination education efforts. Again, the point is that literally ANYTHING Biden's administration can do or has done to mitigate, the Q/MAGA crowd throws a fit and rants against the mitigation.
I understand, I really do, that you blame republicans completely for this. I'm going to go ahead and move on. Thanks
Except you don't move on. Tomorrow you'll ask "What is Biden doing to mitigate COVID!!?!?!!" and then ignore everything that he tries to do and Republicans shoot down, same as yesterday, same as today. You seem to have no grasp of the fact that Biden (or anyone else) can't just wave a magic wand and make it disappear. The American people need to help, and a significant subset of those people are not only not helping, they are actively working against a solution.
Im moving on from the covid. I'm incredibly sorry this upsets you and I truly wish I could help, but I cant. There were other issues and I was going to move on to those. I fully, completely and totally understand your point, 100%....... with no doubt you feel how you do. And thank you very much for your thoughts on this matter.
I'm not sure if that was a joke post or what, but the left is celebrating Biden being President. That's what I meant.
Well sure, I celebrated when Biden won the election just the same as would if SuperMike80 would have defeated Trump
All those black folks refusing to get vaccinated are in the Q/MAGA crowd now? Neat
Yes..You actually laid out a great reply why you are pleased(semi) with Biden and even graded him. Thank you
I'm reading this as If all the MAGA crowd got vaccinated, covid would no longer be an issue. Once again, it's all their fault. We can just ignore the black vaccination rates, it's those darn republicans again!!!
Oh by the way? These numbers don't match yours. Interesting. Probably republican's fault for this too somehow.
I do as well. It seems however that many here, the majority, blame the current status as being a republican problem.
It's a good question why the statistics in that link don't match the statistics in the KFF study (that your link links to, by the way). Something about the "CDC data" the Yahoo article links to doesn't add up, and I don't have time to suss it out at the moment. According to that link (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-demographics-trends), no racial group is above 50% for even one shot, yet both "male" and "female" are above 55%. Obviously, that's mathematically impossible.
Oh goodness. This is a tough one. Your link is polling data, and your 65% is one shot, not a full vaccination. And you wonder why the data doesn;t match.
So... go ahead and explain how no racial group in your link is above 48%, yet overall we're above 55%? I'm no mathematician (oh wait, yes I am), but that seems impossible.
The numbers don't seem to be adding up.
OMG Guys. Please Read the darn charts will you? IT says, in the first chart, only 63% of people reported their ethnicity.
OK, well maybe the 37% of people who don't report their ethnicity are mostly black. That means blacks aren't the least cooperative vaccine group, they're actually the most cooperative.
That was my point! Your data is incomplete and therefore can't be cited as definitive!
Well there is someone that at least understands data. Cause that can be possible. Are you a mathematician?
For the federal government at least ethnicity is not the same as race.
Is that why you posted the Tame Impala video in the FFA in the Tik Tok thread? Memories? Or unrequited longing?
I'm a MAGA hater who completely recognizes both the clownshow that has been the Republican leadership and the reluctance of blacks to get government-administered vaccinations. It's not a mutually exclusive thing, but thanks for the straw man that didn't break the camel's back.
Your post was the title of the song and I thought a sophisticated fella such as yourself would appreciate an award winning music video.
I think it's likely better if I don't engage you further in this or other threads. You're obviously a smart guy and capable of intelligent debate. It just seems to me that you prefer a style where you try to make other posters guess what you mean then criticize when they guess wrong.
It sucks to make it all the way to the big game only to suffer a separated hyperplane in practice.
Agreed!! Polling data is awesome!!! We can always count on thatThis is what happens when poorly thought out talking points run smack dab into data
Sir, you win the internet. My mistake -- I was clearly missing the point. It was well received as I appreciate good music set to hilarious and titillating visual arts. So it was cool even divorced from the original intent.
small exert from the story:
Not being Trump would be the number one for anyone in there. Don't see this being a weak argument, Trump was a very poor president. His role in undermining the election is the cherry on top of his disfunction sundae.
