He was referring to the $100 million Georgia's economy is expected to lose due to MLB pulling the All Star game from Atlanta. The state will lose much more than that after the multiplier effect.

For Mission, terapined, and AZ.... I am frankly embarrassed that the three of you, coming from WoV, a supposedly math based forum, can’t figure out the risk benefit ratio of the vaccines is less than one. This is NOT saying the vaccines are 100% safe. But the statistics on COVID-19 are clear.

Wife’s daughter is due for second shot tomorrow. Pfizer. After the J and J pause she developed vaccine hesitancy. She is very concerned about the blood clot problem that 6 of the 7 million who had the shot developed. I asked her if she knew how many Americans under age 30 have died from COVID-19? She had no idea. Actually, neither did I! It’s somewhere around 2,500. How many got sick and are having long term sequelae? Some multiple of that.

She is going for the shot tomorrow.

The statistics have no meaning for me due to limited sample size. Also, I believe that it's possible some side effect could take longer to start to develop and begin to present, though you can correct me if I'm wrong on that. Anyway, if I don't get the vaccine right now, then it will just as likely go to someone who needs it more than I do, and who, presumably, actually wants it at this time.

The prospect of death, in either case, doesn't really concern me that much. We all die sometime.

I've taken every vaccine I've needed to in my life.
Would have taken the Moderna shot but they can only schedule the 2nd shot at their place
If they could have scheduled the 2nd shot in the city I'll be in next month, would have accepted.
If they had the Johnson shot available, would have taken that immediately
Regardless
I am still slightly sceptical of these rushed vaccine. Dont like the idea of feeling a little sick
But
If available and convenient
I'll take the vaccine
No way I want to end up like Ted Nugent. He said it was the sickest he had ever been in his life. No doubt odds are if he gets better, may still have long covid symptoms which is scary.

I can’t imagine why you would be bothered by the extremely low risk of vaccine complications as you’ve probably smoked illegal marijuana soaked in Agent Orange at one of those many Dead concerts when the government was still trying to stomp out the drug with herbicides.

(Just kidding on Agent Orange, unless you got something out of Nam)

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
