Good lord I hope that was a deep fake...

Holy Cow! Did he escape from an Assisted Living Facility??

We have 2 out, unvaccinated.(both are in the bed sick but not hospital sick)
ALL of my Israeli engineers(6) are sick with covid.
They're ALL triple vaccinated.

Scott Kirby wants to brag and brag how United is a FULLY vaccinated airline. Really?!? Then why in the name of Zeus' BUTTHOLE did hundreds and hundreds of flights get cancelled, and are STILL being cancelled, for flight crews being out sick with COVID??? Yeah...that "It's all for SAFETY" narrative is getting more holes than a deli order of Swiss cheese.

One thing is for CERTAIN...Kirby can't blame the outbreak of COVID in the pilot ranks on the 350-ish pilots that were kicked to the street on indefinite unpaid leave!!!

Happy New Year...

Am I hallucinating, or are those inlays in Dr. Collins' guitar eerily similar to the DNA double helix form?

"Vaccinate Our World" float in the Rose Parade.

Gotta love these perfectly dystopian phrases.

Do these people ever even look at themselves?

Hey, Francis? May the ghost of Judy Garland haunt you eternally. Most poor musical performances are met with "dont quit your day job".
In this case, please quit your day job!

Not at all. Hes a total DNA nerd.

Collins used to be head of the NHGRI...National Human Genome Research Institute. During his tenure the human genomes was Mapped and sequenced, taking over lead on the Human Genome Project from James Watson. I think NHGRI came to be an official NIH institute under Collins.

When he ran a research lab the goal was to map and identify genes mutated in specific human diseases and his team ID's three major ones: Huntington's, Duchenne Muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis.

In that case, having had known folks who died from CF, and Huntington's, the good doctor can put whatever he wants on his guitar.

The lady I've seen seeing got sick on Wednesday with a cough and headache, and tested positive on Thursday. I took a test on Friday out of an abundance of caution and was positive, but asymptomatic.

So now I'm on Day 2 of a 5 day quarantine. Still no symptoms so far.

16 of 25 Belgian Antarctica base hit with COVID. All crew were vaccinated and tested before arrival.

When 2/3s of your crew in the most remote place on the planet come down with COVID, maybe it's time to reevaluate if the vaccines are doing their job.

Three more COVID cases at work. There were four a day or two ago. Just got the email, we are back to mask mandates. God damnit.

Could you imagine the polio vaccine with the high possibility of getting a "mild" case of polio?

Yep, didn't work the first ten times they required it, sooooooooooooo, let's do it again. These people have moved well beyond absurd at this point.

I think I’ve got the Wu Flu now, started to feel a little “off” last night and woke up this morning feeling like dog shit. Got a 100 temp, congested, sore throat, chills and just feel like I’ve got the flu. Spent the day in bed because I just feel wiped out.

Or it’s just a plain old cold or flu

What a hell of a way to start the new year!

How about smallpox? Hell, why focus on any particular virus. When have we even as a country approved and taken a vaccine without 'some' assurance of acquired immunity as a result? I can't remember a single example.

Friend is a Delta overseas pilot, fully vaxxed, just got back from Spain, now at home with the Rona.

I don't want to be the tin foil hat wearer but I really think this was a bioweapon that got loose.
