The same basic idea is part of Christianity, and since that religion is made of ideas that came before it, I guess we'd say it's older than that?

I agree, but would add that art usually has a frame around it, or a museum to hold it, a display case over it, etc. Something to hand it forward for t...

Yep. If you have an auto-immune disorder you can go ahead and get your third shot. Otherwise you'll have to wait your turn.
September 16, 2021 at 03:31
Frontline healthcare workers are getting their third shots now.
September 16, 2021 at 03:15
It's true here. I'm in a study now. I was vaccinated in December and my antibodies were gone in August.
September 16, 2021 at 03:07
I guess going forward they'll particularly encourage the elderly and people with chronic conditions to get vaccinated yearly or biyearly. And everyone...

I think the polio vaccination rate was around 80%. And the other 35% are vaccinated. The vaccine wears off after a few months.
September 16, 2021 at 02:04
Unfortunately, Israel has already shown that this isn't true. 78% over 12 vaccinated, no herd immunity.
September 16, 2021 at 01:30
I think the vaccines works for about 8 months. Natural immunity varies, but it's not long, so it will be a threat from now on. I don't think we'll eve...

I agree. Do you think people are getting smarter due to the internet and video games? Or are we just the same as ever?

Just for your knowledge, what he's describing are the symptoms of a heart attack. If you get those, go to the emergency dept. of your local hospital.
September 14, 2021 at 22:49
Well, if you're having a heart attack, that would be urgent.
September 14, 2021 at 21:02
That's where they have the cardiac catheterization labs though.
September 14, 2021 at 20:48
You should probably go to the hospital

I'm not sure how you got that impression, but you're wrong.

Do you understand why conservatives are resistant to reinforcing a social safety net?
