I’m not sure what you mean by ‘personal agenda.’ I’m legitimately trying to have a productive conversation so please don’t take anything said as a personal affront. We’re just trying to express the importance of herd immunity as it stands from expert consensus on the subject.

If you have any studies on herd immunity not being as important, I would love to read through them.

I understand why you trust your advisor. I’m lucky enough to be friends with someone who was a professor of infectious disease, has a PhD in virology and created a vaccine. They are my go to for anything on the subject matter. Again, anything you can share on the topic is greatly appreciated.

They shouldn’t have made a personal attack like that, but they’re not wrong. Herd immunity is needed. Individual vaccination, while helpful, isn’t fool proof. Especially for highly infectious diseases like measles.

Right!? I kind of was hoping the wave would start… Clearly it hasn’t.

I try to even clip mine into a bit of a V (but very subtle; ~10°). Had a friend teach me that in college. It feels weird for a day or two but I haven’t had ingrown nails since.

As someone who built up a business working 80+ hrs; fuck that guy. 5 years ago I was paying part timers$26/hr and my only full time (salary) - told him 30 hrs/week max. It was my risk/investment, not theirs. I didn’t want them to get burned out. Happier employees perform better.

Almost the exact same situation here. I tested it on myself and it’s like a TENS unit. It’s been a few years and now we really only use the tone button. It was a lifesaver for training though.

Thank you. I took half the time just go straight spoonful of peanut butters. I’m going to check out that cinnamon sugar peanut butter!

As a fellow peanut butter aficionado, what are your favorite peanut butter dishes/snacks?

64/78 year round. Occasionally knock it down to 74 in the summer when it’s going to be really hot and the AC unit may not keep up.The house retains heat too well and bakes in the evening sun.
