MAGA. A lot of MAGA people would like to be ruled by a dictator. Normal, mentally healthy Americans dont want to be ruled bya dictator, nor a narcissist. This doesn’t mean some of the issues they point out are wrong, they are legitimate issues. Just that their solutions are draconian, often illegal

Lower is a relative term. It is a mess everywhere. Chicago had 54 shootings this weekend and 7 murders. Last year was 42 shootings and 10 murders. Is that lower? It doesn’t matter. It’s too much it’s everyday. It isn’t just Chicago. It’s everywhere.

Violent crime is a national problem. Has been for decades and only getting worse. Cities have been powerless to stop it. Understanding trumps motives are not to help address this issue but rather political, why wouldn’t cities ask the fed to help especially on the fed dime?

Are you talking about the vax or the mandate? My other daughter is immuno compromised. Kidney transplant. We lived it realtime. We wanted the vax but it was out choice. It now is a different time. She has had covid multiple times. Thank God she is fine. I would never tell her not to get boost

My daughter is a nurse, she was working in the hospital when the pandemic broke out. She worked the Covid unit endlessly for 1 1/2-2 years. It was a nightmare. She is now 100% anti covid vax as well. Not anti all vax, specifically covid. Only certain segments of pop should consider it.
atcdave.bsky.social (@atcdave.bsky.social) reply parent
That what they believe , it was a panic move. Most of those who died were compromised already; obesity, diabetes, cancer, etc. the vast majority had other co-morbidities. The vax should have need available to everyone but target to that population. The mandate was a panic decision.
atcdave.bsky.social (@atcdave.bsky.social) reply parent
To be honest , My comment earlier about no one needing it was just trolling. I do agree with you that like other medical issues -it’s between you and your doc. Not govt. but for me, I’ll never get another Covid booster. I don’t trust it. But I did recent get the shingles vax. -is that inconsistent?
atcdave.bsky.social (@atcdave.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t follow him. I have severe DTS. But the vax mandate Biden put into effect was very wrong and it does seem to me Covid is severely weaken from what it was in 2020/2021. And I do believe greed and money -pharma- drive a lot of this and it’s BS -to me.

atcdave.bsky.social (@atcdave.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t know about my neighbor. But for my wife and I , im not aware that We had Covid, And we had tested ever since tests were available. Interesting how now they don’t recommend the vax for younger healthy adults and definitely not for young children. Too much downside risk.
