I would put this in the "kinda not great, but not quite worthy of FDA resignations" bucket. Sounds like they want to cut corners on the Oxford vaccine.

Fister Roboto posted:Every argument for having a minimum voting age can be used for a maximum voting age too. And there are other arguments for a maximum voting age, like the fact that old people won't be alive to see the effect of their horrible policies. A maximum voting age would disproportionately disenfranchise women.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:People need to know when they've been fooled. Not saying you should kick in her door and be all "you voted for a fascist, grandma" but politely informing her of all the horrible poo poo this administration has done would go a long way in preventing her from voting for the orange idiot again. I mean she was barely passing during the 16 election, that woman completed changed her mind on who she was voting for in 2 minutes probably. Since then she's had a heart procedure that's ruined what's left of her memory, telling her would be cruel. She won't be voting again. Agree that it's debatable at that point how you should be able to vote but gently caress she's still technically able to drive. Land of the free really has some issues. I haven't seen the "friend" since but have a conversation waiting for her if I ever do.

Doc Hawkins posted:I'm starting to be concerned only those of us making the Jim Crow jokes are getting them, so I'll just say it: cognitive or educational tests as a condition of voting was part of Jim Crow. plus anyone old enough to have severe dementia is already set in their ways enough to determine who they vote for, or their vote is approaching true random when combined together so it doesn't matter anyways

I do remember a conversation from when the Parkland kids were talking about lowering the voting age. My step dad had apparently been watching fox news and thought it was completely unreasonable. He got real mad when I said they'd make more rational choices than grandma. Also thankfully(?) we're in Illinois so her vote matters less.

Raise the minimum voting age to 25. Raise the minimum age for joining the military to 25 as well. Reasons being that the risk center of the brain should be fully developed or drat close to, you don't have parents trying to politically brainwash their kids so they vote how they want from 18 years old on, or, more likely, kids have freedom from their parents for a few years and can make up their own mind. Max voting age: 75. You got 50 years of voting.

Fallom posted:I don't understand the "approval." The hospitals in my area have been treating patients with it from the beginning (as soon as supplies became available). WaPo makes it sound like the Mayo Clinic was running point on all of this, so if you really wanted to run the plasma treatment, you'd have to run through Mayo. Now, it's getting used on a widespread basis, so the emergency approval cuts some of the hurdles, most of which are de facto gone already. It's a PR stunt for a harmless treatment that seems like it helps, but only a bit. This is all because Donnie called it a "beautiful ingredient" a while back and wants to announce something before the RNC. FDA people probably threw them a bone because it's already been used and isn't harmful. And of course, ignore me compared to actual medical people here! Edit: counterargument from a few days ago that basically said it's too early and the data isn't in / not that clear https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/19/us/politics/blood-plasma-covid-19.html#click=https://t.co/45b3rHmN7q facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Aug 23, 2020 |

Afaik convalescent plasma has its own risks and probably is useful in very urgent cases only? I gotta read up more on where the status of this is now. Basically, your own immune system can use antibodies from someone elses serum to detect and help clear covid infection. But, your own immune system eventually recognizes lots of stuff in that serum / plasma as "not me" and starts to make an immune response to that as well. This can lead to a syndrome known as 'serum sickness' which can have some nasty side effects like kidney failure etc. So, convalescent plasma is a viable therapy when the probability of serum sickness is less than the probability of death by infection etc. They may have done some things to help mitigate serum sickness etc that I am not aware of. This is a bit outside my direct field. e: either way it's not something you're gonna just stroll into a pharmacy / doctors office and get.

A significant number of vaccines are produced using fetal cell lines from abortions in the 60s. Even the Vatican has said that the vaccines are far enough removed from the abortions that there is no moral problem, and also it's a moral imperative to get vaccinated in order to protect others.

Well, you see, babies are just gelatinous blobs of stem cells that, with the power of Jesus, form into a miniature human being, complete with God-willed sexual features, when they pass through the birthing canal. The anointing of the childs' body with wet rear end pussy juice on the way out proves that God has chosen this body as a vessel of a follower, and that the child will be prosperous as long as it maintains a faith in the Lord and donates frequently to the evangelical group of its' choice.

There are already mechanisms for limiting the rights of old people who are unable to deal with the world rationally, usually due to dementia or some other degenerative brain thing. Hard pass on just setting an age limit.
