Shocker 😀😀😀

Just please be one of the many who after having themselves or a love one get really sick or die from the virus.

You change your tune. Publicly.


Hope you steer clear, but when it happens too you...

It's happened to me, I'm just getting over it. Hydroxychloroquine works. The jab on the other hand, I don't think it works. Show me some science other than faucis that says that the vaccine works. That says that the vaccine keeps you from getting covid. That says you will not die from covid if you get the vaccine. There is nothing out there that says that. Nothing. So for those who took the vacs, good luck. I'll continue to take my hydroxychloroquine and I will be fine. And please, don't spread covid-19 after you've gotten your jab. You should stay inside, away from your family and friends, and not go to work. Please keep all of us safe, the best thing you can do after getting the vaccination is to stay home.

Your choice my choice? Ha what crap. You have no choice is why it’s crap. The vaccine wasn’t developed because of covid, covid was reengineered to make you get the shot. Have you gotten incentives for taking a flu shot or any other shot? No, but there were tons given if you took the covid shot, rides to the site, free beer, free joints and in Charlotte I heard guns as an incentive.

One must ask what’s in it and why do they so badly want all to take the shots?

This legitimately cannot be a serious question.

If a team in the Sabres division offers 2 top prospects and a 2022 1st round pick lottery protected, or if a Western team offers 2 top prospects no pick. Which trade scenario would you all take?

Here’s the part on Eichel from The Athletic

The one player whose name comes up in discussion within the Wild offices throughout the weekend shouldn’t surprise anyone: Jack Eichel.

It shouldn’t be a surprise because Buffalo has made it perfectly clear they are looking to move on from the No. 2 pick in 2015 and there are a handful of teams, including the Wild, that have an obvious need for an elite No. 1 center.

Eichel is such a player and even with the significant cap issues created by the Suter and Parise buyouts, there is still dialogue internally about how or if acquiring Eichel works for the Wild.

It’s called due diligence.

One can only imagine similar conversations are going on around the league.

No team is going to be able to make a deal for Eichel without contemplating a number of factors. First, the prospects and picks it would take to satisfy Buffalo will likely include any number of the team’s top prospects plus a handful of first-round picks down the road. Then there is the $10 million cap hit Eichel carries for the next five years.

How do you address all those moving parts without throwing the team’s carefully laid plans to move forward into complete chaos? Or can you? The truth of the matter is there really isn’t a definitive answer. So Guerin and his staff keep looking at it from as many angles as they can.

Friday morning those discussions become more earnest with Sells, O’Hearn, Shero, Sexton and Guerin blue-skying what works from their end.

Guerin turns to a large glass board on another of the room’s walls and begins drawing up what a deal might look like and what kind of elements might need to come into play if they were to try and pry Eichel out of Buffalo.

Eichel is determined to have neck surgery as opposed to rehabbing an injury that cost him half of last season and will likely miss the start of the coming season. The Sabreshave opposed the surgery option and the handling of the injury has led in some ways to the acrimony between Eichel and the Sabres.

“How do we protect ourselves,” Sexton asks.

Guerin calls the Wild’s team doctor to get input on the situation. The doctor in turn agrees to call a neck specialist to provide some more context. Later Guerin has a long chat with the specialist about his interpretation of the procedure that Eichel is angling toward having.

The group looks at the glass board and the assets that could possibly go out the door.

“It’s a lot,” someone in the group notes.

But it’s Jack Eichel, a superstar center, another notes.

It’s now mid-morning. The draft is about eight hours away.

On that glass board is the outline of a deal that would change everything for Buffalo and Minnesota if it ever came to fruition.

It won’t be the last time Eichel’s name comes up during the weekend.

If you got vaccinated...congrats, go live your life in relative safety. YAY!

If you didn't get vaccinated...your choice your risk, but if that's an acceptable risk to you, go live your life in only slightly less safety. YAY?

There. that's the whole discussion.

- matty12345


This literally should be the motto and pretty much has been every flu season. But bottom line is unvaxed people want to move on and vaxed people have this weird obsession of knowing what’s best for everyone and centering everything around Covid day in and day out.

He should just tell everyone he is the sole reason the vaccine exists.

It was developed while he was in office.

This anitvax would be a different situation.

Rally the rally crowd. 🗣

Covid was reengineered to make you get the shot.

They mind (frank) you with words like pandemic, epidemic, spikes,death.

What doesn’t add up? The number of deaths from a virus that has a 99.6% survival rate.

without specifics, that can't be answered logically.

Adams claims he doesn't give a poop where 'any player' (hypothetically) lands. I'm sure they'd prefer to send him west but if the offer from the Rags is Laf and Fox and the offer from Minny is Rask and Rossi, I mean, I think you know the answer.

But like I said.. without specifics, it's not possible to answer.

I can't believe I am stupid enough to wade into this.....

Independent here. If our ancestors had thought the same way we'd still be living with scores of other diseases that we've vanquished by vaccine. We've saved hundreds of millions of lives doing it. But hey....

I only recently learned that the flu could also be vanquished if more people would get the yearly shot.

Um, no. Not getting the vaccine means you are more likely to be a spreader of the virus and/or one of its more aggressive variants to other people, like the delta that is tearing through red states right now. Remember, we can have the virus and have no symptoms, but be spreading it everywhere we go without knowing it...again, to other people.

What I was asking was do you skip the pick so you don't have to play against him. Lets just say the teams 2 top prospects. Nobody really knows how good a prospect is until they play in the league.

Let's pretend the players from both team bring identical value.

No, I don't skip the pick.

My mothers a nurse. Has had people die on oxygen machines. Didn't directly die from Covid they died cause there lungs were shot from it though.

The death does not count towards covid.

These are the things they don't tell you. Or when they do, you idiots dont listen.
