That seems like an oversimplification of the clinical trial process.

I find it odd this is a thing when this is what the vaccine is supposed to do. The vaccine lessens symptoms when you catch COVID-19, so this is essentially the same thing.

No, the vaccine keeps you from getting it but makes symptoms less if you do. This trial is for an anti-viral therapeutic to treat it once you contract it, kinda like Tamaflu or Relenza.

Yes, and Ivermectin is still unproven to be of any value. Hopefully these new trials will produce something that actually works.
Oh, I'm sure they'll find the value.
So my company ordered me mandatory covid tests to take from home and UPS lost them, lol,.

Since they are exempt from the jab, maybe they feel no one needs the test.

Probably pilfered it to sell on eBay.
Kim Iverson is my internet crush. I love listening to her takes, even when I disagree. She stands so far above everyone else they put on that show in knowledge and delivery.

Dem says the quiet part out loud when confronted about ties to Big Pharma. Don't think that I'm just picking on Dems. Republicans do this, too. This is EXACTLY why we end up with these bad policies. When are you guys going to wake up and stop buying this nonsense? We have to start standing up to this type of corruption.
This is how I feel about our process. I wish Paul wouldn't focus on the "control" aspect, but rather the profit aspect. Then again, he probably needs Big Pharma money as much as the next guy.
So, a lady I follow on Instagram who does cat rescue work in NYC is unable to get the vaccine due to a blood condition and has a verified/certified medical exemption from her doctor. The hospital she works for is requiring everyone to get the Covid vaccine but because she can't she has been put on unpaid leave. I guess they can't outright fire her but they can still take away her ability to earn a living.
Flsprtsgod, how would you address this? How is this fair to her? How do you take away someone's way of life when, through no fault of their own they cannot comply with the mandate?
A young lady I personally know cannot get the vaccine due to a shellfish allergy and she could lose her job for the same damn reason. She recently had Covid so she has natural immunity anyway.
Where do you draw the line?
Let me get that for you, FSG...

We have exemptions for both medical and religious reasons. Employee Health certifies and there is an appeal process if denied. Pregnancy and nursing mothers as well. So, no L2L, you're wrong. Again.

What qualifies as a religious exemption?
