Agreed - but I guess they meet the mins. I'm no crash expert, but that one seems like maybe there's a possibility it wasn't immediately fatal. First guy on the scene runs up after about a minute with nothing to fight the fire which took that long to start building. Just thinking out loud, but I wonder if the RJ pilot who ran into his a/c to get the other pilot to come look instead came out with the Halon bottle and hauled ass the roughly 100 yards to the crash. Hard to watch at least 7 able bodied people stand by while someone potentially burns to death.

When you have medical institutions listing cause of death as COVID, when in fact it was the fall and subsequent slide off their motorcycle into a guardrail…ya, I will rely on personal experience over some sensationalized and manipulated data set.

Stop reading the news and Google medical research articles and case studies. These are written by people getting paid trying to better the world with their medical research vs getting paid to invoke some sort of reaction out of certain groups or support certain political parties.

His shtick has gotten tired. I understand he’s trying to paint himself as the anti-Trump guy, but he’s got nothing to offer except tears and more “January 6th is the worst day in American history” narrative. Those buffoons and LARP idiots have all been arrested and will serve jail time. After 5 years, the Trump haters still haven’t realized what he craves, it’s attention. And this commission will only breathe life into his followers. How about this, do, or even just say something, about the trillions of dollars we’re just printing every 6 months.

This and your earlier one are both good posts. This Doctor also expands on your point about COVID being similar to the flu virus in some ways. But one of his points you should consider is that vaccines are not only a poor solution, but can be dangerous. The inventor of the mRNA vaccine, Dr Robert Malone, also explains this in his recent podcast with Doctor Bret Weinstein. Why are we seeing breakout infections among the vaccinated in the summertime? Listen: If you believe the things he is saying are "counter-factual", here is a list of links to all of the official scientific peer-reviewed studies he references in the flash drive he provided to the board members: https://liveandlocalacadiana.com/a-video-has-surfaced-with-real-source-data-science-from-a-school-board-meeting-in-indiana/

EXACTLY.

I don’t know why this is so difficult for some to comprehend. People are really stuck on “it only kills old people” and 0.000069% death rates. I think it’s prudent to consider what having a pipe jammed down your throat whilst being in a medically induced coma for 2+ weeks or multiple organ failure due to a lack of O2 would be like.

Going full retard is what seems to get you reelected in DC. Maybe he's just decided that he can't beat them, so might as well join them?

So according to Adam, you can’t love and support your country (MW definition of patriot) if you didn’t fight in a 18th century war.

They are not dumb departure/recovery procedures. All are there for a reason. Show me a “dumb one” and I will educate your simple mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had the exact same thoughts watching the video. Hindsight’s always 20/20 and all but I have to believe there were some fire extinguishers in the RJ or in the terminal that someone could’ve grabbed and at least made the effort instead of standing around gawking.

Kinzinger will likely lose his seat in the House due to redistricting. He's in a corner, and as one tends to do when cornered, he's flailing. Will be interesting to watch where he lands.

This. I looked at his Twitter page and he has zero posts on things like the out of control spending, border crisis, etc… Pretty sure his role as an elected official goes beyond hating Trump and only worrying about Jan 6th, but what do I know?

It’s a roll of the dice either way right? The average person has no ill effects from the vaccine as well. But how do you know you’re not gonna get the ventilator or the kidney failure? Same way you really don’t know if you’ll get blood clots from the jab. So you research, use critical thinking, numbers and data. Which risk do you consider to be higher. I personally think there will likely be long term health problems (lung, heart, neurological, circulatory issues) for those who have been hospitalized with COVID. We are already seeing “long haulers” and folks who survive and are strapped to an O2 tank. I think that the vaccine (as it should) shows your immune system what to expect so you can fight COVID without the potential of being overrun. A sneak preview if you will. That’s how I ran my ORM sheet. YMMV. This whole thread reminds me of a time where I was in Moron. We had a -135 and a spare -135 with engines running to meet up with a Coronet moving west. Thunderstorms were moving in, they were outside of 5 miles but all around the field. The primary taxied out (new AC at the helm) checked the radar, didn’t feel comfortable, called in and said he was a Wx cnx. The spare (a more seasoned crew) took a sweep with the radar, saw a hole, called and said I think we can go, we see a way to get it done. So they went. Each crew called upon their knowledge, research of the situation, comfort level and made a decision. Is there a wrong answer? Maybe if the jet that went got struck by lightning then yeah. Maybe if it was an OIR mission with troops in contact and they cancelled with no GAR, sure. Nobody questioned either crew and their decisions were exactly 180 out from each other. So is there a wrong answer here? Maybe if you throw a blood clot or have some reaction to the jab. Maybe if you are belly up with 80% o2 or on dialysis for the rest of your days or you lose your Class 1 because you have brain fog. Maybe you get the shot and you’re fine. Maybe you get COVID and you’re fine and now you have better antibodies than the shot can provide. To each their own I guess.

Ah, yes, the argument from anecdote. I don't know anyone who's been killed in a car accident. That's why I don't wear my seatbelt. It's just a lie pushed by the NHTSA to control our lives. Probably in bed with Big Fabric to make the seatbelts. We actually have more traffic fatalities a year now than before seatbelts were mandatory.

It’s also prudent to consider how the average person is affected by COVID, an that is certainly not it.

That’s the funniest thing I’ll see all year.

Too much media bias these days to trust any sort of alleged statistic. For reference, I’m in the under 50 demographic. I have 0 friends or acquaintances that have been hospitalized (let alone died) from COVID that are in the same age group. I recently met a three star who had a little over 40k active duty troops under his command. Of those, 0 deaths and approximately 300 that required SOME form of medical care. I’m not claiming this virus doesn’t kill people. I’m also not arguing against the effectiveness of the vaccine in potentially easing severe symptoms. I do find it odd, however, that none of my other family members or friends personally know of anybody in the typical MAM (military age male) demographic. I realize I’m one of millions, but I find it hard to believe that this is a matter of national security considering the generally short-lived nature of the virus for younger folks coupled with the lack of significant medical care required to bounce back. As mentioned earlier, hard for me to trust statistics these days, but combing through multiples sources: less than 50 deaths in our force from COVID. Let’s not compare that to our suicide and motor vehicle accident rate though…

I agree with you, everything I've seen points toward the vaccine reducing both transmission and symptom severity. I was just summarizing this guy's argument. And if we accept his premise that the vaccine is only useful at preventing one of the two, would it not still not be a very good idea to get it. After all, if everyone on earth has gets covid but we all get mild to no symptoms, there isn't much to be worried about.

Ha - I wish they would admit that and get with the program

But it does NOT spread the same 71% of the time. Again, read the article below: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/08/study-ties-covid-vaccines-lower-transmission-rates

I'll never go back to that shit hole. But I might make a brief exception for this.

Eddie's death made a pretty big impact on the airshow community, and the safety standards for airshows. There are even a few groups that you can hire for your show that are a rapid response team dedicated to getting to the crash site very fast.

Sorry, too bored/not bothered to read through all these posts. I found all the rational thought I needed when Mike Rowe commented...

Politics today. A governor getting recalled, another one about to get legitimately impeached, state legislators on the run, a shell president who is losing his mental capacities, trillions and trillions of dollars being spent, inflation at a 13 year high, open borders, unnecessary lockdowns, people getting paid more to stay home, etc. I’d say things are going really well!
