What are you even doing? Measles was at elimination in the US, meaning that there were zero new cases in the entire country for 12 month periods, with new cases only being introduced by foreign travelers with no access to the measles vaccine. Now, because of the current anti-vaxx movements, there are outbreaks all over the country. South Carolina enjoys a 1000 case outbreak. This is all easily verifiable. Nobody is making up these numbers. They are real. Because of vaccination programs, Smallpox has been eradicated worldwide. However, closely related diseases, like monkeypox, have reached epidemic proportions in the US due to the elimination of the Smallpox vaccine. But you talk about the dangers of COVID vaccines "hurting more than they have helped". In the current measles outbreaks, they're seeing one death per 300-1000 cases. With the COVID vaccine, they've seen about 1 death per 100 million doses. Again, weird that anti-vaxxers are concerned about deaths that occur at a 1 per 100 million rate, but shrug at a 1 in 300-1000 rate. Why is that? Why do Vaccine Babes minimize death when it comes to a disease ripping through a population, but then scream about the 15 people out of 260 million vaccinated in the US who died due to complications? Is it somehow more noble for thousands to die every day in a pandemic rather than 15 due to mass vaccination? Explain it to me like I'm a 5-year-old infected with measles.

1) He didn't "invent" the technology. He was involved in early experiments that proved mRNA information could be delivered into cells using lipid fats. 2) His claims about the vaccines (which he had nothing to do with developing, beyond being involved in early experiments of mRNA tech) are refuted by the scientific and medical communities. He offers no evidence for his claims, either. 3) Malone's erroneous claims about vaccines have nothing to do with greater mRNA tech, as you claim. 4) A guy making unsubstantiated claims in area he has no expertise or experience in is not credible. Again, you're not even offering an argument. It's all "Food Babe" nonsense: Misinterpretation or misrepresentation of actual scientific findings or misreading of the Constitution. I'm sure you're readying that old saw about the entire Earth conspiring to perpetuate some sort of lie. I'm just disappointed that you're exposing yourself as so unknowledgeable for nothing but the sport of obstinance. At least Food Babe hawks a supplement line she allegedly makes money from. I get it. You don't like being told what to do. But the Constitution laughs at your claims it protects you from the requirements of participating in society.

The number of people who died with any link to the vaccines number in the "dozens". About half of those stemmed from the J&J vaccine. This is of the 260-270 million Americans who were vaccinated. I find it weird that the Vaccine Babes who shrug off 8100 people dying from COVID every single day try to play up the 20 or so people who died from blood clots or myocarditis (over the last 6 years) due to the various vaccines - as not being worth the risk. Mass vaccinations were effective. The daily death toll from COVID dropped from a peak of around 8100 daily to somewhere between 1500-2500 daily at the peak of Omicron over the winter of 2021/2022. It wasn't until Paxlovid became accepted as a treatment that the numbers dropped off precipitously to under 100 a day. I get vaccinated twice a year due to my own health issues. COVID does not inspire a strong, lasting immune response, and neither do the various vaccines. However, 6 months out of my last COVID shot, my anti-bodies were as high as somebody who had recently had COVID. Anecdotal, I know, but just throwing that out for info. mRNA technology has been with us over 30 years and has been thoroughly tested. Nobody credible believes mRNA is "failed". And vaguely referring to "the data" detracts from your argument rather than supports. mRNA tech is being used in the development of next generation cancer and rare disease therapies.

You've basically dropped below The Food Babe in credibility.

5 game days after today, so each rotation starter gets one more warmup each.

I'm to the point where I think we all have to admit it was a baller move for Getz to position himself to get promoted to remake the entire org.

As a responsibility of making the team, Murphy was tasked with telling Alberto he was being put on waivers.

But that was Getz's fault because the White Sox didn't develop their players to like each other, and besides, the asst. Development guy actually makes all the decisions. Where's the "why isn't anything ever the GM's fault" guy?

Do you seriously think Schultz should make the opening day roster, and that the White Sox are only holding him back for nefarious reasons?

Good thing we didn't sign Walker Buehler, then.

In his first 7 pro games of 2024, Thorpe threw 6 of 7 games with game scores of 57, 69, 63, 66, 58, 69. He then fell off the table for two horrible starts. He was subsequently put on the IL. If that guy comes back, he will be a force.

I keep reading the headline as "Sorry for the outrage"

Happy Birthday to Harold Baines, born in 1959, and an unhappy Birthday to Jon Jay, born in 1985. Jay played only 47 games for the 2019 White Sox, signed primarily due to his childhood friendship with Manny Machado. It was hoped that Jay and Machado's brother-in-law, Yonder Alonso would help Machado make the decision to accept the White Sox offer. Neither lobbied Machado. Jay even said Machado should take the best deal.

Yeah. Nobody's talking about hearing that "pop" all the way from the dugout.

I'm spending this week having to type in the full name of every single website and password from having cleared my cache so many times on every computer and phone I could put my hands on. The work you guys do is truly appreciated. The fact that so many are expressing notions of addiction should tell you how much you're all relied on. Thank you very much.

"Under 26 talent" listicles are a ridiculous measure. Getz is doing a good job hiring competent people. "Fine" is fine. Relax.

I believe he's already done something miraculous. Unless Ishbia wants his own miracle. LOL. Getz is fine. Doesn't seem to have a huge ego, putting smart people in place. By the time Ish takes over, they might just kick him up to President of BO, and promote one of his smarter minions to GM, if JR/fam doesn't do it first.

By the time we finally stop rooting for everyone to be fired and a new rebuild initiated, those cities won't even exist anymore.

I won't be waiting at all. This rebuild suits me just fine. I'm not the one hankering for everyone to be fired so we can throw away all the advancements they've made in the last 2 years and start all over again from scratch.
